I had a fantastic time at Original Backpackers Guesthouse! First of all, the accessibility is excellent. It’s conveniently located near major attractions, making it easy to get around. Public transportation is also easily accessible, so traveling was hassle-free. The cleanliness of the guesthouse was also impressive. Both the common areas and the rooms were well-maintained, and the hygiene standards were excellent, providing a comfortable and pleasant stay. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly friendly. From the moment I arrived, they gave me a warm welcome and provided helpful travel information. Their kindness and hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the opportunity to engage in free-talking with travelers from different countries. The lounge area was a great place to meet new people, share travel experiences, and create meaningful connections. If you’re looking for a cozy place with a friendly atmosphere where you can meet fellow travelers, I highly recommend staying here. I would love to visit again!

客室やシャワー室などとてもきれいでアメニティも充実しており、お茶やコーヒー、カップラーメンまで無料でいつでも飲むことができました。 また、オーナーさんがとても親切で変換プラグも貸してくださり、大変コスパの良いホテルです。 また韓国に行く際は利用したいです。 エレベーターがないのでそこだけ注意してください。

사장님도 아주 친절하시고 침대도 아주 푹신하며 방도 깨끗하고요 여럿이서 자야 하는 도미토리 특성상 코골이만 견딜 수 있으면 가성비가 아주 좋습니다. 선약이 있어서 크리스마스 이브 파티에는 참여하지 못한 게 아쉬웠습니다. 주위 상점도 저렴하고 DDP와 명동도 가까워서 위치적으로도 아주 좋습니다. 추천드려요!
