Major security issues and unclean.

You can access the building without keys or passwords. There is no verification during check-in so you can access a list of people staying there that night. Someone else was accessing my locker so i had to sleep with my valuables. Rooms were cluttered and space limited. Beds may not be large enough for tall guests. Showers were slow to heat up. Do not reccomend.

Capsules were clean, but the toilets and shower area never felt as clean as other hostels at the same price. Wasnt sure how often they were cleaned either. The first night the AC wasn't working either so it was really hot and uncomfortable in the room but they fixed it the next morning. Location is pretty close to subway and all the popular areas in seoul. Althought the hotel is in a random street with construction warehouses and stores next to it.

I ended up not staying in the hotel after seeing the poor conditions even I paid for it. It looks like they put a few bed in the middle of a construction zone. If you have a very limited budget, then it wouldn’t kill you to stay here but otherwise I wouldn’t recommend.

ABSOLUTELY FILTHY.

This experience almost made me fly straight back home.

- Intense mold smell everywhere
- the linen is filthy. Mine had crust spots on it the owner claimed were \"cleaning solution\". Would be funny if it wasn't absolutely disgusting.
- Bathrooms are unclean and the ancient plunger sat in a \"puddle\" in my floor's bathroom.
- The shower room is moldy and dirty
- Hole place felt so unclean I slept above* the blankets, in the clothes I'd worn all day and travelled internationally in.

The front desk man Joon was understanding, but his boss was not. He was aggressive, dismissive, and thought he could intimidate me out of my refund. Nope! (I'm assuming he's a slumlord in general, but it could not have helped that I was a young solo female traveller.)

BUYER BEWARE! I would SKIP Korea before I stayed in a place this gross. Don't do it!

The stay was excellent ! However they should have staff manning the front desk from opening of check in till close of check in .

Instead of putting a sheet of paper out front with code to enter this should be sent in an email or text to each individual personally . Otherwise anyone can enter in the premises

The reviews for this place are definitely misleading; at least they were to me.
Everything felt dirty and unclean.
From the beginning, the staff working didn't even acknowledge me when I arrived. They don't even check your ID either to make sure that you are who you say you are.
When getting into your capsule, you will see tons of debris, hair, and stains in all the nooks and crevices. It seems like they don't even take a chance to vacuum or wipe down the place.
The washroom is in the stairwell. There is no hot water coming to the sink that I used even though I ran it for 30 seconds. There is no paper towels provided to wipe down your hands afterwards.
Moving on to the showers, they are filthy. Stains and hair absolutely everywhere in the shower stall.
You are provided towels that seem used a million times over. There are slippers that are provided on each floor, but half of them are completely destroyed by use.
On my floor there were drying racks in the hallway and in the stair well with towels and blankets.
The immediate vicinity around this place is very residential and industrial.
There is a pin provided for the front door if you will be going in and out after hours, but the pin and instructions is posted right on the front door for everyone to see so what's the point. And I came back after the time the front door should've been locked, yet it was unlocked.
Maybe this place isn't catered to people like me, but I don't know how anyone can recommend this place.

Would stay here again!

My stay was great! Went to Seoul for a solo vacation and this place was perfect. It was quiet, I can lock my little pod while I I’m in there, enough space for me to sit up completely, bright enough in the pod and also a little in pod air conditioning unit that run by a on off switch and it worked great! My locker was big enough, although I locked myself out of my locker but I was told of a master key that was able to unlock it for me. The response time to my emails for whenever I had a question was great! The bathroom was clean but keep in mind there is just one bathroom per floor and it’s in the stairwell. The showers were hot and you could lock the door behind you, I would recommend bringing shower shoes just in case (that’s what I did). They are only at the front desk from 11-6pm but you have a door code so you can get in at any time of the day. The hotel is only 25 minute walk from the main part of Myeongdong and there are a couple Starbucks on the way as well as other food places. There is also a convenience store like 3 minutes from the hotel (maybe less) you can see it from the entrance. Now this place isn’t a 5 start hotel, I think of it like a hostel with a tiny bit more privacy. It could be cleaner but it’s not bad enough to deter you. It’s the perfect place if all you need is a bed, toilet and shower. I was out all day everyday and only came back to sleep so it worked perfectly for me. The bus to and from the airport is like a 5 minute walk from the hotel also!

I didn’t expect a lots since this is budget hotel but still I was so disappointed because of cleanliness (towel was obviously dirty and has stained, hairs is everywhere in my personal cabin). Even if it’s only for sleeping, I still cannot accept and I checked out right away on same day as checking in

I loved the convenience of this place. Extremely close to major street food markets like Meyongdong and Gwangjang market. In fact, I walked to those places a few times, about 10 -15 min walk.

The cleanliness of the bathroom and bedroom is superb! Maybe the toilet can be a little bit better if a better scented air refresher was used.

The locker is extremely large, large enough to fit 1 large 1 small suitcase.

Staff was friendly :) and English speaking! Very open to suggestions.

For a backpacker, id definitely go back again!

私自身は星五つつけたいくらい、過ごしやすかったです。(過去韓国留学経験あり、ある程度の路地やエレベーターになんか？置いてあったりも慣れてる)
初めて韓国行く人、公式ホームページみてめちゃくちゃ清潔なキラキラカプセルホテルを想像しちゃうと「あれ！？」てなるかと。
でも、実際、地下鉄からの道一度行けば覚えられるような簡単だし、すぐそこにセブンイレブンあるし、出入りも簡単。一人ずつカプセルのある階にロッカーある。スーツケース入る大きさ余裕。
カプセル内は綺麗だし、布団とマクラもシーツついてます。
トイレやシャワーは日本のホテルを思えばちょっと、かもだが、とんでもなく汚いわけではなく、韓国標準というかんじ。
シャワーにはボディソープとシャンプー、でたとこに鏡とドライヤーあり。タオルもシャワー室前にあります。
階がちがうのでエレベーターで行き来する。でも、上下長袖スウェットとかで行けばそこまで寒くない。
シャワーの水が温水になるには時間かかる。しばし角度変えてまつ。
耳栓してれば夜も人の音で起きることは全くなかった。
カプセルに開け閉めできる横扉があるので、簡単な服とかは置いたままでても問題なし。
アメニティは歯ブラシはないので持っていくこと！
チェックインの時だけホテルの人に会えたのだが、最初にQRで読み込みそこに滞在についての詳細(過ごし方、トイレやシャワーについて、ロッカーやホテル出入りのナンバーなど日本語で)あるのをちゃんと読んでください、そこに書いてるのに受付に連絡先電話番号あるのでたくさん電話が来て困ってると言ってました。
緊急時以外は電話しないであげてください笑
数日の、一人旅なら断然おすすめです。
ありがとうございました！

Personnel courtois. Cependant, les locaux et particulierement la chambre n'etait pas tres propre (j'ai trouvé des cheveux sur le matelas !). Les équipements marchent tous globalement mais manquent vraiment de maintenance: la ventilation qui fuit et eclabousse dans les toilettes, ou la douche qui fuit.

深夜到着でセルフチェックイン方式でチェックインしました。入り口前にQRコードが置いてあり、それを読み取ってチェックインします。読み取ったら自分の部屋番号とロッカーの暗証番号とホテルメインドアの暗証番号が表示されます。夜遅かったので少し戸惑いました。シャワールームは地下一階までエレベーターで降りて使用します。廊下の冷房がものすごく効いていて寒かったです。(自動管理です。)部屋のドアを閉めれば問題はありませんが、カバンの準備する時などは寒いです。タオルは1枚支給されます。他のアメニティは支給されません。シャワールームにタオル置いています。
シャワールームは少し汚いです。荷物を預けるスペースがあり自由に置けますがとても小さく、廊下に剥き出しになっており、入口ドアの真近くにあるので、防犯上スタッフもいないのでお勧めしません。お金を払ってでも外のコインロッカーを使うべきだと思います。近くにコンビニがあるので深夜到着早朝は便利です。

이용후기

> 9월 중순 1박 숙박했습니다. 위치가 역에서 5분 거리라 접근성이 좋았고, 객실도 깔끔하게 정리되어 있었습니다. 침대가 편안해서 숙면을 취할 수 있었고, 직원분들도 친절했습니다. 다만 방음이 조금 아쉬워서 옆방 소리가 들렸습니다. 전반적으로 가성비가 좋고, 다시 방문할 의사가 있어요

전체적인 평가: 명동이라는 좋은 위치에서 묵을 수 있는 숙소로 생각했을때 가격적으로나 간편함으로나 정말 큰 메리트가 있습니다. 하지만 버스는 몰라도 역과의 거리가 조금 있어서 한참을 걸어가야지만 근처 역이 나오는게 조금 흠이었습니다. 시설이 좀 노후화 되어있고, 직원의 청소나 업무를 위한 왕래가 잦은건 좋지만 좁은 캡슐호텔용 건물이니만큼 자주 마주치며 사생활 노출이나 길막이 자주 일어나니 그 점 알아두시면 좋을거 같습니다.

보안에 관하여: 일정 시간이 지나면 호텔 문을 닫고 도어락으로 잠굽니다. 숙박객에게만 도어락 비밀번호를 알려주는 식입니다. 그렇기에 보안면에 있어서 안전하다고 생각합니다. 캡슐방 문에도 잠굴 수 있는 장치가 있으나 좀 어렵습니다. 요령 터득해야함.

캡슐방의 평가: 방은 제가 키가 184정도 되는데 발을 쭉 뻗어도 공간이 남을 정도로 꽤나 큽니다. 물론 앉은자세로 허리를 쭉 펴도 천장에 머리가 닿이지 않습니다. 혼자만의 아늑한 공간을 좋아하시면 힐링의 수준인 크기입니다. 답답함도 거의 못느꼈습니다.

콘센트 꼽는게 두개가 있는데 방을 잘못 고른건지 꽤나 뻑뻑해서 잘 들어가지지 않아 애를 좀 썼습니다. 한번 들어가면 잘 고정은 됩니다. 환기가 안되기 때문에 환풍기는 계속 켜놓고 있어야 하고, 환풍기 소리도 염려해야 합니다. 살짝 거슬리는 정도이며, 이어폰 끼고 있으면 아예 안들리는 수준.
침구류는 딱 친구집 놀러가서 자면 느껴지는 그 느낌 그대롭니다. 살짝 찝찝하시면 베개에 수건을 얹어서 자도 돼요. 매트리스 커버가 시간이 조금 지나면 점점 벗겨져서 다시 끼워야 하는 불편함이 존재합니다.

락카룸: 자기 방 번호대로 있고 비밀번호치고 열 수 있게 되어있습니다. 웬만한 캐리어는 다 들어가지기에 걱정 안하셔도 됩니다.

샤워시설: 목욕타올, 작은 타올 다 준비 되어 있으며 드라이기와 고데기또한 있습니다. 샤워실은 부스 형태로 칸칸마다 있기에 맘 놓고 샤워하실 수 있습니다. 다만 남녀가 같이 샤워하는 공간 이기에, 머리 말릴때 살짝 머쓱한 상황이 생길 수 있습니다. 꼭꼭 부스 안에서 다 갈아입으세요. 뜨거운 물 찬물 잘 나옵니다. 단, 쓰는 사람이 많을경우 뜨거운 물이 약하게 나올 수도 있어요. 기본적으로 샴푸, 바디워시만 있으니 다른거 챙겨가시려면 챙겨가세요.

마무리: 정말 모든 에로사항이 저렴한 가격, 좋은 위치에 다 없어질 만 합니다. 그것 제외하고도 아늑하고 간편한 숙박시설로써의 의무는 충실히 하고 있다 생각합니다.
키워드를 주자면, (보안, 저렴, 위치, 간편, 아늑)

Reservé el lugar, pero sinceramente no me quedé la noche ahí. Cuando llegué a mi cuarto estaba desordenado, con ropa y maletas afuera de las cápsulas. Dentro de la cápsula encontré lo necesario para pasar la noche pero estaba sucia la colchoneta. Había solo un sanitario para todo el piso y había 5 duchas para todo el edificio (hombres y mujeres). No coinciden la fotos de su página oficial con lo que ofrecen.

I would like to address an issue that occurred during my stay. One night, I discovered that my room had been occupied due to a mistake on the part of the staff, which appears to have resulted from a communication error. Consequently, I was required to stay in another room that night.

The alternative space provided was insufficient, as it was too small for me to open my luggage. Additionally, there were no common areas available for me to relax or attend to my personal needs.

Had to change hotels on the same day/Bad Hotel

The hotel was so bad I had to book another one on the same day. Hotel.com staff were super helped up and understanding and helped me through.
But not only was the hotel was extremely bad, when asked for refund(I sent pictures of a dirty bed, no moving space within the room, and voiced my concern that even tho it was supposed to be an all female floor, men were using the bathroom and had easy and free access to our beds) they only refunded me 20$ out of the 600$ I paid.
So: hotel has no common area, the floors that are supposed to be separate are mixed, the beds are dirty, inside the capsule is extremely hot, no space to open any kind of luggage, the showers had extreme mold, the staff were no where to been seen and the hotel is located on a fabric factory street(the smell of chemicals is pungent).
