2.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (102)
"We stayed for 3 nights over the holidays including Christmas. It’s a hostel so the amenities are spare but the place is clean and comfortable. Mattresses are very firm but it wasn’t a problem for us. Because we stayed for more than 2 nights we received fresh towels and water bottles every day. Check in was easy, we called ahead to let them know our check-in time in advance as they requested. There is not a fully staffed front desk so we needed to call to ask questions but almost everything we...

"정말 별점 100개를 드릴수 있다면 드리고 싶을 정도로 너무너무 만족스러운 숙소였습니다! 2박 했는데 아침마다 손수 차려주시는 집밥 조식을 잊을 수 없을 것 같구요ㅠㅠ(심지어 압력밥솥 밥ㅠㅠ윤기가 자르르 흘러서 맨밥만 먹어도 맛있는ㅠㅠㅠ) 정말 친절하시고 화장실, 방 모두 청결하고 침대 시트도 베개도 너무 깔끔해서 좋았습니다. 춥지도 덥지도 않게 이틀내내 잘 잤네요~ 공간도 넓어서 쾌적합니다! 가격대비 최고인 별밤게하! 다음에 광주에 또 온다면 꼭 다시 오고 싶을 정도로 완전 강추합니다!!!(나만알고 싶은 숙소인데 사장님 부부가 너무 잘해주셨어서 조금이나마 도움이 되었으면 하는 바람에 정성껏 올려봅니당♥️)"

"訂了女生4人房帶獨立衛浴，卻在晚上7點多收到沒房間要改8人房的通知，感受不太好，這麼晚也找不到其他合適的住宿。 共用浴室只有一間，需與一間8人混宿.4人男宿.雙人房一起共用。 同房其他背包客也是碰到換房的問題....。 優點:房主熱情.民宿地點很棒"

"So when I arrived (quite late) there was nobody there and I had to wait half an hour for the hosts to come. The property does state check-in is until midnight, but there is no way to contact the hosts without calling them, and they don't speak English - this is a problem if you are a tourist and don't have a South Korean phone number. On the plus side, I had the entire flat to myself as there was nobody else staying there. It feels more like an airbnb than a hostel in that regard - it's...
