HEEJAE사장님도 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!
Kenya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。

Questions about Original Backpackers
Does Original Backpackers allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is breakfast included at Original Backpackers?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Original Backpackers have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Original Backpackers have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Original Backpackers?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
