✨ 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 🙏

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 :)

Do most places take credit card for food?
yes but usually physical card, if the store have machine like mine, they might take apple or google pay!
but sometimes the owner doesnt know about it
Ok great thank
I read you have a roof, is it ok to smoke on the roof or no?
sorry no.. you should smoke on the ground outside of the building
Ok no problem
👍
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!

Thank you for letting me know. We had waterproofing work done in the 5th-floor bathroom after a previous leak, but it looks like it may not have been enough. I’ll come by today to check it again. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you very much,, our contractor scammed us... we are trying to fix it,
I am really sorry about inconvenience!
You can move to the lower bed tmr, tmr we might start cleaning from 1pm, so please clear your stuff from the bed :D
Is it the one below the one I am in now?

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that a small glass bottle fell on the floor in our room I have cleaned it up & cant see any glass on the floor but is there a vacuum cleaner?
Or will the cleaners be vacuuming today?
Hello! Thank you for informing us about the glass bottle incident. We don’t provide a vacuum cleaner for guest use, but please don’t worry—our cleaning staff will vacuum and clean the rooms during their scheduled cleaning times. If you have any concerns or need assistance, feel free to let us know. We appreciate your care in cleaning up and helping keep the space safe. And if it is possible can you take a picture of the area so we know where to take care
Perfect thank you
