    Small Double Room
    Stayed 3 nights in January 2023

    “Good choice for quiet & chill ”

    I spent 4 nights here and I would recommend Zlife. The staff are nice, the courtyard garden is pretty and it is a good location. My tiny double room was simple, with a fan and shared bathroom. It is kept clean and the shared shower is excellent (something that I appreciate!) As a solo traveler I didnt find it very social for meeting people, but it was a quiet place to recover from days of travel and get some good sleep. The breakfast is good. There is a small shop right next door, a bank on the corner and the beach is a block away.

    “Simple but good”

    I stayed in the shared dorm and it served its purpose as a convenient place to spend the night. The location is easily accessible and the staff friendly. The room is reflective of the price - good value but nothing fancy.

    “The location is really great, but there is no air conditioning.”

    It's an island, so the humidity is high during the summer weather in Korea. However, there are almost no air conditioners in cafes and restaurants. The accommodation here also had no room, and I moved to the airport early without staying. If you're considering actual accommodation, I would not recommend it, and please make sure to go to a place with air conditioning.
