Hi Roaming Tiger! This is Antoine. My booking ref: #o1kzri
Hello :D
I look forward to visiting! See you next month
Hi Antoine — thanks for the booking ref (#o1kzri). Check-in details go out on WhatsApp the morning you arrive, so please message us here that morning with roughly what time you’ll get in. If this chat goes quiet, we may only catch you by email, and when we’re busy WhatsApp is much faster — so a quick “I’m arriving around __” here that morning really helps.
Sounds good!
Thanks Antoine — see you in October!
Wed 14 Oct
I'm arriving around 4 i think. Im taking the train from Gyeongju at 1:19
✨ Check-in Guide ✨ Hi again! Your check-in is today — here's what to know before you arrive :) - Self check-in is available from 4:00 PM. - Floors 3 and 4 are female-only dormitory floors, and Room 501 is a male-only dormitory. - The stairwell bathrooms on Floor 1.5 and Floor 4.5 are shared by everyone. - During cleaning hours (11 AM - 4 PM), a staff member of the opposite gender may need to come in to clean. 📍 Directions and our map link are in the first message we sent you. ⸻ 📋 House Rules 🔇 Noise & quiet hours - Please keep noise to a minimum after 10 PM. - Phone and video calls — please step outside to the stairwell hallway. - If you're watching videos on your phone, please use earphones. - Even if you're staying with friends, please remember this is a shared space with other guests. We aim to keep a calm and quiet atmosphere — if conversations get long, please continue them outside. 🧦 Dormitory & shared spaces - Please switch to slippers before entering the dormitory area. - No outside guests are allowed inside the dormitory area. - Please keep shared spaces clean and tidy. 🍽️ Food & drinks - Please enjoy food and drinks in the basement area only. 🗑️ Trash & recycling - Trash bins are in the stairwell hallway, just outside the main door. Please take your trash there — not inside the dormitory area. - Good news — you don't need to sort your trash for recycling. Korea's recycling rules can be confusing for visitors, so we sort everything for you :) - To help us with that: please empty out drink containers before throwing them away. If one still has liquid or residue inside, seal it in a plastic bag so it can't leak. That way we can sort it all without a mess. - The small bin next to the toilet is for sanitary products only — please don't put general trash (shopping bags, packaging, snack wrappers, etc.) in it 🙏 If the house rules aren't followed, our staff may ask for your cooperation 🙏 ⸻ 🔑 Once you've read the house rules above, please reply "Confirmed" to let us know you agree to them. Access codes go out at 4:00 PM on your check-in day to guests who have confirmed — together with the Wi-Fi password and a quick house guide. If we don't hear back from you, no worries — just message us and we'll get you sorted :)
Confirmed
Hi Antoine! Here's your bed information: 🛏️ Your bed is facing the beds, the lower bunk on the right side by the window toward the main road in Room 501 (5th floor).
Hi Antoine! There’s a balance of KRW 229,500 due on arrival. Just so you know — my office isn’t in the hostel; it’s about 10 minutes away. You don’t need to come to the office to settle this. A short how-to if you’d like to handle payment yourself: https://youtube.com/shorts/Jc3MGEMLGnU?feature=share If you’d rather I come help, or you’d prefer to pay cash, just tell me a time that works and I’ll come over. Once you’ve paid, I’ll send your door code by WhatsApp or email.
I won't have access to YouTube before coming to the hostel. Is there not a front desk i can pay at?
Ill be at the hostel in about 15-20 minutes
we dont have seperate frint desk but dont worry if you need me i can be there
Ok. I'll use the self pay kiosk. It's a bit unusual to pay like this
yes it is always ask for help!
we try to keep our price low this way
i will be there in 15mins to help you
Ok! Thanks. Ill be there soon. Id feel more comfortable if someone was there than paying a machine with no one around haha
sure no worries :)
i am here :)
I'm almost there
🔑 Access Code Thanks for confirming! - Room 501 is a male-only dormitory room. - The main door lock code is 0520* 📶 Wi-Fi - Wi-Fi Name: roaming_tiger_hostel - Password: roamingtigerhostel Welcome to Roaming Tiger Hostel🐯
During cleaning, it's difficult to tell whether items left in the bathrooms or common areas belong to guests who have checked out or guests who are still staying. We will put any unattended items in a ziplock bag and place them on the shelf on Floor 4.5 (between 4F and 5F). Items not claimed within 2 days will be disposed of during cleaning. Please make sure to take your belongings with you! Without this policy, items end up sitting around for days and making the space messy. Thank you!
Ok! I have not left anything behind yet
thank you!!

Good morning! I had a question: Is there any possibility of doing laundry at the hostel?
Good morning! There are a couple of coin laundries nearby: • Cleantopia Coin Wash Sindang 6-dong: https://naver.me/FFqkBrrt • white365 Laundry: https://naver.me/xy70qCxk We also have a washer and dryer, but they’re mainly for staff laundry, so guest use is only possible by exception, usually in the evening. Please check with me before using them. The dryer often stops, so you’ll need to check it every 5–10 minutes and restart it if needed, then clean the lint filter afterward. Nearby coin laundries may be easier 😊
I think i need to order some detergent, you can use it tonight or tmr if detergent is empty
Ok sounds good! I'll check out the coin ones and let you know if I have any issues
Ok, you can always use ours too, :D
Are you sure? If it's alright with you I will. Maybe tonight or tomorrow?
I'll check in this evening
Yeah sure, after 3pm you can use it i will send you a youtube link that shows how to use it
GReat! Thank you

Sounds good, Ill likely do it in the evening
