It was listed as a hotel, but it’s actually a hostel—I was totally misled by the description and photos, and it wasn’t even cheap. You’d be better off booking a real hotel.

立地は素晴らしいが、施設がそこそこ古い。
壁の一角には黒カビが、換気が悪い感じ。
バスタブは無く、トイレの横でシャワーだが、シャワーを壁に掛ける物もなく、手で持つしかない。
清掃は行き届いていた、廊下には荷物用の重量計もある。
料金相応のホテルでした。

호스텔 분위기 났어요. 동네 자체는 별루 좋진 않아요. 그건 그렇다고치고 침대 시트가 청결하지 못했어요. 가게 주인은 세탁을 한 건데도 때가 지지 않은 거라 했는데 그럼 그나마 다행이고 침대시트 안 갈아 끼웠을까봐 걱정이였어요.

シャワーの温度が不安定。床に髪やホコリで清掃が行き届いてないけど、まぁこんなも んかなと思いました。
ゲストハウス慣れしてるので部屋の広さは申し分無し。

安さ重視ならアリだと思います。立地はとても便利です。東大門のkyochonチキンの裏辺りにあります。真夜中のショッピングにも便利です。
ただとても狭いです。ツインに泊まりましたが2人ともがスーツケースを広げるのは無理でした。シャワーを浴びるとトイレも濡れます。でもこのスペースは清掃が行き届いていて清潔感あります。
部屋の中に洗面台があります。テレビの横に無理くり作ってある感じです。ゲストハウスをよく利用される方なら問題無いと思います。
