4/5
For the price and location, can't really complain. The rooms are tiny and the ceilings are really low. We had rooms on the 3rd and 4th floor. The 4th floor ceilings are the lowest. Im 5'6 and my dad is 5'7 and we were both hit our heads multiple times. So I would avoid if you are any taller than that. No issues with bathroom/shower. Split duct for cooling and heating works well. TV and refrigerator in room. Wifi signal is strong and fast. There is no property manager present, but the manager is responsive via WhatsApp. They will hold your luggage, but not personally, just in a camera monitored area. No communal area to hang out or public restroom. They do have a filtered water system though. Self check in. Room entry is by code, so it's nice to not have to carry an access card. No elevator so be prepared to haul your luggage upstairs. Lots of restaurants nearby. Can walk to all the popular areas. Overall, great budget hostel that has all the basics, just not suited for tall people

The hostel is about a 4-minute walk from Exit 4 of Jongnoga Station. Unmanned self-check-in. Check the number via email.Although the name says Dongdaemun, it's quite a walk from Dongdaemun, and there are many restaurants nearby, so it's convenient.This time we have a large single room of 10 square meters.I booked it on Agoda and it was about 3400 yen for one night without meals on weekdays.Good value for money, the toilet paper probably won't flush, but there was no warning.Thank you very much for checking in at 3pm and checking out at 11:30am.

The experience is more basic for the lower price. Rooms are small and a bit cramped. The washroom door is quite low, which poses a challenge for taller folks. The front desk appears to be frequently unattended. The foyer is also littered with packages and other stuff. The surrounding area is filled with local stalls and stores.

4/5
Pros: Clean room, metro 5 min walk, quiet side street, four mini towels.Cons: Cold, no air conditioning. The room is a bit dark. Entering the bath with my head tilted, I hit my head once. No table, mini table. The sink is not convenient; when turned on, it splashes sharply with pressure. Just sleep and that's it. There is no place to sit in the lobby. The reception is not 24/7.
