Although it wasn't particularly close to the station, it was nice to be able to go straight from the station. Since I was alone, the room didn't feel particularly small, and it was just right. I was worried after reading the reviews that there was no hot water, but it came out normally. (needs some adjustment) It's not that it's beautiful, but I don't think it's that noticeable of dirt. I think it's a good place for people who want to stay cheaply.

Very close to Gongdeok Station. But the stairs are quite shaky.

・It was a short walk from Gongdeok Station and there were no slopes, so it was easy to move around even with large luggage. Also, when I checked in, my brother carried my luggage upstairs, so I was very grateful. ・The plan at the time of booking said that breakfast was included, but there was no breakfast service. ・I used it in March, but it was quite cold because there was no heating in the room. The bed was covered with an electric blanket and it was warm when I slept. ・I didn't feel particularly unsanitary about the toilets and the beds. ・The hot water stops coming out after a certain amount of time (storage type?), so if you want to wash your hair thoroughly, be careful. ・It is difficult to adjust the temperature if you are not used to it. ・If you can lie down and sleep, it's OK.

The place is in a back alley about 5 minutes after leaving Gongdeok Station. The owner kindly taught me one by one carefully. One thing that bothers me is that there is no hot water in the shower and it is very difficult to adjust. . It will be cold in Korea from now on, so I felt it would be tough. I was also worried that the tiles in the bath were wet from the beginning. It seems that the heating will not be turned on until November, so please be careful. Considering cost performance, it is a location that can be accessed directly from the airport, so if you have an early departure the next day, you may use it again.

The owner is polite and speaks Mandarin, and will take the initiative to help you carry your luggage upstairs. You can ask the owner to borrow it if you don’t have a transponder, but the stairs in the homestay are very high.

Excellent location as it was at a walkable distance to gongdeok subway. You can reach to this place from subway exit 4. Taxi was also available. Very close to bus stop. So many cafes nearby. Room was small but it was really worth the money. Host was very helpful and friendly. It is a place for self check in and checkout. Neat and cozy rooms best suited for smaller group/ family with less luggage. We cooked our ready to eat food and had lovely french cafe coffee.

It's cheap because you only need to sleep, and there is a private shower. There was enough space to spread out a suitcase. I'm a little worried about security, but I think this is what a guest house would look like. The stairs are steep and narrow, so it might be a bit difficult if you have heavy suitcases. Why do you sometimes come into my room even if I'm not cleaning it? I thought. ventilation? (When I return to the room, the window is open)

Very dated and dirty room, mattress with very unpleasant spring, door with only a small lock. Luckily I only stayed there 3 nights.
