2/10 Poor

5 December 2019

何よりも汚い、階段にバスタオルがたくさん落ちて黒くなって何日も放置、缶のドリンクも中身こぼれてほっとかれ放置。寝室も床は歩くと足の裏が真っ黒で、ゴミもそこら中落ちてる。扉が錆びてて開きづらい。タオルも臭くて使えず自分で持参したものを使いました。セキュリティが全くなっておらず、入口、部屋、ロッカーどこにも鍵はありません。誰でもいつでも寝室に入れます。毎晩不安に思いながら寝ていました。女性専用部屋を予約したにもかかわらず、男性が部屋の中に入ってくる(その寝室を使っている女性の友人)そしてそのまま話してる。女性専用部屋なのだから、男性は入れないで欲しいです。フロントに伝えると。やんわりーと注意するだけで解決にならず。 3泊しましたが、2日目、3日目の夕方まで部屋のトイレ、シャワーが使えなくなり、寒い中夜中に違うフロアのトイレを借りなくてはいけなくなった。ちなみに部屋の水周りは常に水漏れしていました。トイレだけやむを得ず使いましたが、シャワーは3日全て最寄りの銭湯(チムチルバン)を利用しました。フロント横に喫煙室がありますが、ちゃんとドアが閉められてないのかフロントまでかなりタバコ臭く、フロント目の前にある小さいキッチンは匂いが気になり使えません。二度と利用したくありません。

The whole experience was disappointing. The only thing that was good for me were a few of the other guests and the location of the guest house. The staff during check-in were kinda unprofessional and the guest house overall looked to be a mess.

Dirty and unsafe but good location

You can find a way better place for the same price. It's a basic guesthouse, but based on my experience it was very dirty and none of the doors had locks (not even the main entrance door), which really bothered me. This is an ok place to stay for one night, since the location is good, but I still wouldn't recommend this guesthouse.

게스트하우스 문을 열고 들어서는 순간부터 정리안되고 먼지 가득하고 더럽다라는. 생각이 들었다 근데 지정된 방 청소상태와 방바닥의 먼지들 이불에서 빠진 오리털 침대아래 다른손님에 양말에 ... 정말 이런 게스트하우스를 외국인이 묵는다는게~ 우리나라에 대해 어떤 인상이 심길지... 여러분들 정말 더러워요.

활기찬 김치게스트하우스

게하를 첫방문이라 낯설었다. 안내해주는 분이 젊은 외국여성분이였는데, 남자랑 함께 숙박하는 룸에 안내해서 처음 당황스러웠다. 잘 쉬고 왔어요. 체크아웃 할때, 밝은 미소가 좋았다고 칭찬해줘서 김치게스트하우스를 3박 예약해 다시방문합니다.ㅎㅎ
