I stayed for 3 nights. I had a single room with a shared bathroom. The bathroom was noisy next door, but it seemed like only two rooms used it, so it was rarely used and I didn't mind the noise. The interior is new and still clean. As other people have said in their reviews, mandu and mochi were prepared for breakfast on Saturday morning, and I was able to enjoy a fun breakfast while talking with the other guests. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the nearest station, and you can walk down a slight slope to get to the hotel. The bus stop was almost right in front of the hotel, so it was convenient. I often had to change buses, but it was nice to be able to enjoy the local atmosphere because it was located in a local market.

The room was large and had a separate toilet. However, after the Seoul bug infestation, the dead bodies of love bugs were still in the room. There were also a few live bugs in the room. There were no vacancies that night and we had to wait until the next day to change rooms.

Second visit, the pillows that were too high mentioned in the last review have been improved, it can be seen that the boss is very attentive. The toilet is also equipped with air freshener, which will spray regularly to make the whole room fragrant. It is not the kind of strange air freshener smell, but a pleasant fragrance. The quilt and bedding are just as good to sleep on, and I don’t want to get up every day. The boss thoughtfully prepared adapters, hair bands, and female-specific shower gel. The only drawback is that there is no place to put towels and clothes in the toilet, which is a pity. I have my own clothesline + S hooks and clothespins, so I can put towels in the toilet; clothes can only be put outside. The toilet door of the room I stayed in this time could not be completely closed, but fortunately there was a height difference, so the water would not spray out. Overall, the CP value is really high, very suitable for girls traveling alone. Take the 6010 airport bus to 금호사거리 and get off. (Incheon Airport)

I came to Korea alone to watch a concert and booked this hotel. It was really good! The room was small, but it had everything. An 18-inch suitcase could fit flat in the room, and the food I bought could be placed in the small refrigerator. The next morning, I ate dumplings made by the boss, which tasted good. However, on the first day of check-in, there was no pillow on the bed, but the mattress was very soft, and I personally slept just right without a pillow. Also, the trash can in the bathroom was full on the day of check-in and was not cleaned. I hope this can be improved.

In a residential area, because it is newly built, the room is clean, the staff is very enthusiastic, and it provides a good environment for women traveling alone. But the pillow is too high for me, and it is a bit difficult to sleep. I rolled a pillow with a towel to sleep. It would be better if there were two pillows in the room for easy selection. The grilled beef intestines (Figure 1) nearby are also delicious, recommended. Figure 2 is the rice cake dumpling breakfast prepared by the hotel on fixed days, and they also helped to wash the dishes, thank you

1. The airport bus is accessible, but the last one is at 23:10. It is close to Jinhu MRT Station and is very close to common attractions. There is a fruit stall downstairs, and there are also many local snacks. 2. The owner of the B&B is very considerate and gave small gifts. The size of the room is suitable for solo travelers to have their own space, but it is really small. The sound insulation is good, but the material of the mattress and quilt makes me itchy. In the end, I put on the travel bed cover and quilt cover to sleep. Breakfast includes milk, yogurt, fruit, instant noodles and porridge. 3. The check-out time should have been 11 o'clock, but the owner of the B&B notified me that it was 10 o'clock the night before. After communication, I still didn't reply. This makes people feel bad.

The accommodation is located at Jinhu Station on Line 3, about 8 minutes walk from Exit 1 of the subway. There is a Homeplus supermarket at the subway exit, and there are also many convenience stores and restaurants on the road. The living function is pretty good. The accommodation is located in the alley of the market. I couldn't find the entrance door by searching the address. After asking the landlord, they said that I could see how to get there from their IG, which was much clearer. The room is on the 2nd floor, there is no elevator, and the shared bathroom is on the 3rd floor (I actually don't think it is very convenient, but I didn't know about it until the landlord provided the room password). Although it is a shared bathroom, it is actually only used in one room, and the other rooms have independent bathrooms. It is recommended to install a shelf in the bathroom to put towels and change of clothes. The shared bathroom on the 3rd floor is a bit like the rooftop, and the door on the 3rd floor is open to the open air! I think the size of the room is just right for a solo traveler, and two 20-inch carry-on suitcases can be fully opened and placed on the ground. The accommodation has washing, shower, hair care, hair dryer, comb and indoor slippers (and night lights), so you don't have to bring your own. It's a pity that there is no mirror in the room. There is a water dispenser on the accommodation floor, and there is also a water dispenser in the kitchen on b1. You can use the kitchen during the opening hours. I personally feel that the sound insulation is not very good. The room I live in is close to the door on the second floor. As long as someone goes in and out, I can hear the sound, even the next room. If you are a light sleeper or someone who is sensitive to sound, you can evaluate it, but it is very close to the water dispenser! 😂. If you have any questions, contact the host through trip.com, there will be AI translation, so you don’t have to worry about language problems at all. The host also replied very quickly, great!
