Seoul Cube Itaewon

Thanks for arranging my stay in Solo Stay after my mistake of booking in female dorm. :) good service!

这是一家不错的旅舍，由一位西班牙女士经营（我到的时候她就在，我不知道是不是还有另一位）。她非常热情，报价3万韩元，但建议通过Booking.com预订，价格更优惠。旅舍提供早餐，橱柜上贴有使用说明，但早上没人，所以任何人都可以随意取用。我给自己烤了些吐司，他们还提供果汁、牛奶和花草茶。我把从土耳其带来的磁铁贴在了橱柜上，希望他们不会取下来。他们还在浴室里安装了一个外置式坐浴盆，效果相当不错……

地理位置确实绝佳，靠近地铁、餐厅和夜生活场所。但工作人员态度冷漠，宿舍里闷热难耐，公共区域和浴室里都有霉菌，早餐只有自助吐司和玉米片。宿舍外有储物柜，但房间里根本没有地方放行李，尤其是在房间满员的情况下。我实在无法推荐。

这家位于梨泰院的酒店/旅舍很棒。地理位置优越，方便体验当地的夜生活，而且交通便利，地铁、公交和出租车都很方便。房间干净整洁，浴室也很宽敞。我推荐这家酒店。唯一的缺点是行李寄存处似乎没有监控。

The hostel/capsule is a nice location and could be amazing, but after spending a week there I can say I understand most of both positive and negative reviews.

The positives :
As mentioned, location is amazing. Lots of transportation around, and lots of cafes and food places and supermarkets
The common area is well designed, there is a simple breakfast included with boiled eggs which is very good protein for the morning :)
The beds are well designed. Please note the upper ones are a bit wider with space for a bag, the bottom ones have not much space except the mattress. You have individual lamp and electric socket in every pod.
You have a fridge for guests but it’s super small while there are two big fridges for staff. Should be improved .

The negatives :
There is lots of noise coming from the bars around during the weekend , almost not noticeable during week days but during weekend, you can hear everything through the small window in your pod which doesn’t isolate enough
The door of the male room still has no lock (problem mentioned on a review many months ago, still not fixed)
The door to the bathroom (inside dorm) and the main door to the dorm are metallic door which are super noisy when operated by careless people which is a common species in hostel. As no warning is given about this when checking in, many guys just slam the doors as they haven’t received a proper education in their life, which is not the hostel’s responsibility, but they should give a warning
The atmosphere and staff could be way more friendly, I understand the comments. There is one Korean guy who is the manager, he’s here mostly afternoon/evening. I can’t say he’s very friendly nor unfriendly. He seems to be way more communicative and friendly with young pretty western women than other types of travelers…
The other two girls (volunteering ?) are not very communicative, they’re here for cleaning mostly and just stay around, don’t make it obvious they’re employees. The whole atmosphere resulting of this is a kind of automated place with no presence.
As a result, the place is far from being social, but at least it’s not a noisy place with party and such.
Last, the cleaning could be much better. During the week I have been, the floor around the urinal has never been cleaned, the body wash soap has not been refilled and was empty. The exhausting vents are full of dust, generally speaking the basic daily cleaning is partly done but this hostel would need more deep cleaning sometimes. I’m not very picky about this topic but I can totally understand all the comments I have seen from fellow travelers.

这家旅舍位置优越，靠近餐厅和夜生活场所，包括LGBTQ聚集区。地铁和公交车站也很近。房间非常干净。我住的是“家庭房”，房间比较小巧紧凑。我觉得超过两个人住会很拥挤。不过考虑到价格，性价比还是不错的。

这家旅舍可能太小了，没什么社交氛围。我很少见到其他客人，也没怎么跟他们交流。提供的早餐是自助式的，有麦片、火腿奶酪三明治、果酱/黄油吐司和水煮蛋等选择。另外，他们还免费帮我洗烘了一次衣服，费用是1万韩元。

我肯定会再次入住！

不错，挺满意的，隐私和安全都非常到位，因为疫情，入住率不高。有时候住客不注意，门关闭的声音比较大，建议缓冲组件。另外我无法找到房间内抽水马桶小房间的灯，请问在哪里。位置很好，离梨泰院地铁站很近。
