The EXTAY Lounge Jongno

Facilities: The amenities are very complete, with washing machines and dryers, a small convenience store, and a communal kitchenette where you can get hot water for instant noodles. Everything is conveniently located on the 7th floor. Cleanliness: Very clean, tidied up daily. Environment: Very good. Service: Excellent.

The room has a double bunk bed setup, accommodating four people in total, and the bunks are quite spacious. There are already plenty of real photos of the rooms online, so I won't repost them. Let's focus on the room type differences: The standard room and deluxe room have identical amenities; the only difference is that the deluxe room is slightly larger. There's no need to pay extra to upgrade. The provided amenities are very thoughtful – no need to prepare anything beforehand! The room comes with a universal adapter + a 3-in-1 charging cable, as well as slippers, towels, and disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste. You can check in empty-handed without any issues, so sisters who haven't prepped their essentials don't need to panic. The showering experience was perfect. The shower head had excellent water pressure, and there was an ample supply of hot water, allowing for continuous showers without any problems. Now for the minor drawbacks: The duvet cover isn't made of pure cotton, so it makes a rustling sound when you turn over at night, which slightly affected my sleep. The mattress is also on the softer side, so friends who prefer a firm bed might find it uncomfortable. However, it's incredibly cost-effective, and the location is absolutely fantastic, making it super convenient to get anywhere. These small flaws are completely acceptable. There are many restaurants around the hotel, and there are also snack stalls downstairs. However, the stalls only accept cash, and the prices aren't particularly cheap. The taste is mediocre, so just try them for the experience. Also, the induction cooktop in the 7th-floor restaurant is not operational, but all other facilities are in good working order.

This stay completely exceeded my expectations! It was my first time at a hostel, and I was prepared for the worst, but it was incredibly clean. Even the shampoo and other amenities were great. I'd really love to know the brand of the curling iron they provided; it was amazing!

20+ people sharing one room with 2 toilets, 4 showers, and 3 sinks – usually, you can manage to use them without much overlap. Cleaners come during the day, but it gets crowded on weekends, and the trash cans fill up. Some guests lack basic etiquette, like using a hairdryer at 3 AM. With so many people, there's a lot of snoring, which makes it hard to sleep. The luggage racks take up all the aisle space. They send the check-in rules a day in advance for self-check-in, and the same goes for self-checkout rules a day before departure.

The surroundings are super convenient! Downstairs, there's a 24-hour soup restaurant! There are also many street food stalls and several convenience stores! Very handy! The room is very new and clean! However, the bathroom and toilet are located inside the bedroom, which might be a bit noisy for those who go to bed early and wake up late. Perhaps because I only stayed for one night, overall it was very good! I'll definitely book this place again next time!
