It's really great.
It's a hotel and a hostel, so
the hostel bedding is as clean as a hotel.
The breakfast is also good. They serve bread, jam, fruit, cereal, rice pudding, etc.
The staff is friendly,
and above all, the location and the night view are both excellent.
I want to come back~
It was the cheapest hostel I've ever been to, but it's the highest quality ㅎㅎ Tta-bong~👍
