The location is exquisite and affordable. There are more Western guests than Koreans. If you make noise in the smoking room at night, you will be scolded, so be careful.There is a shared bathtub on the second floor. Let’s take a look and take a dip. The bed is comfortable, the bedding is clean, and most of all, even though it is a guesthouse, it is quiet!!!The rooftop has a nice view, so it's a good idea to go up there at least once in the evening.

Thank you Shiro! (reception stff)I don't often leave reviews but I wanted to do so for this place to give a special mention of the help I recived from the recpetion staff!I had to make a phone call to another hostel in Japan that I want to work at in the future. The woman who runs the other hostel does not speak English and Shiro helped me so much by speaking to her and sorted everything out for me - I thought this was so kind of her.Great hostel with staff who go beyond to help you.

The staff was amazing, common area is great. Rooms are dated and it shows. The individual rooms are not worth it in my opinion. It was ok. Made 100% better by the people we met here!
