You have to go up some stairs, but it's about a 5 minute walk to Itaewon Street.I stayed in a four-person room, one of whom was a local Korean, one was an Italian, and the other, I forget, is a guest house mainly made up of foreigners. The receptionist was also a foreigner and we communicated in English.I can't say it's very clean, but it's cheap if you think of just sleeping there instead of going out every night.It's a noisy town at night, so I don't think it's suitable for people who are nervous, but I think it's fun to meet a lot of different people.

I made a reservation at Itaewon Inn, but for some reason I was sent here. The shared bathroom is too dirty. A large amount of shampoo and hair conditioner are left behind, and I don't know who they belonged to or when. The bed sheets were covered in blood over a wide area. The men at the reception desk in front of the store talk loudly until 3am. The room shakes every time the door to the next room closes. The entrance to the building was a smoking area, and strong men (guests) were always smoking, making it uncomfortable to go in and out.
