Explore the property

There are twin and triple rooms, as well as separate male and female dormitories, making it easy to choose based on your group size. Several reviews say solo travelers felt safe because the beds are separated and each room has a door lock.

The toilets and showers are separated by gender, and toiletries are provided, so some reviews say you only needed to bring a toothbrush and pajamas. There are also comments that fresh towels are provided every day, but others mention slow-draining sinks or missing toilet paper, so it's best to allow for the usual variation in shared spaces.

Breakfast includes cereal, toast, eggs, milk, juice, and coffee. Satisfaction is high, with some reviews even mentioning freshly brewed coffee, and the first floor also has a bakery run by the owner's family, adding another breakfast option.

The shared living room and kitchen are said to be meticulously maintained, making time spent here part of the experience. With travelers from many countries mingling together, some even say it feels like traveling in Europe.

Luggage storage is available, English is spoken, and free Wi-Fi is provided. Some reviews say there was plenty of space at the nearby public parking lot, so it's suitable for itineraries that include driving.

  황리단길에서 도보로 10-20분 정도라 딱 좋았어요. 축제 기간에 버스도 잘 안와서 걱정했는데 예약 너무 잘했다 싶었네요! 남녀 화장실/샤워실 따로 있는데 용품도 다 있고 수건도 매일 새걸로 하나씩 주셔서 좋았어요! 무엇보다 침대에 암막거튼 하나씩 있는거 최고네요ㅎㅎ 조식은 못먹었지만 너무 맛있어보였어요~ 너무 잘 지내다 갑니다. *개인 사물함은 없어요. 잠금장치가 망가져서 침대 밑 수납장은 그냥 열리더라고요* 공용 도미토리, 여성 전용 (4 persons)
