There was a teatime service and happy hour, and the lounge and dormitory were very comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious!

The location is great, great atmosphere. The views are incredible. But there are also downsides: weak internet signal and the feeling of an earthquake when someone in the room leaves or lies down on the bed.

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~👍

There were a lot of Koreans, so I think it was a safe place. It was clean and the breakfast was delicious. Also, it was right in front of the river, so even if I went to see the sunset or the waves or walked around late at night, there were a lot of people, so I was able to walk around safely. I would book again if I came back.

모든 직원들은 친절하고
시설도 깨끗하고 조식도 간단하지만 맛있어요!
숙소 뷰도 너무나 아름답고 바로 뒤엔 모루정원이, 바로 앞엔 동루이스다리가! 환상적입니다!

많은 후기를 읽고 혹시몰라 1박만 했습니다 뷰도나름 좋고 직원들 친절하고 조식도 괜찮고 시설 깨끗하지만 꺼진 매트리스를 싫어하시는 분들에게는 권하고 싶진않네요 매트리스상태가 아주 안좋아요 저처럼 잠자리 가리시는분들은 호텔로 가시는게 나을듯하네요
