The staff here were wonderful! They always went above and beyond for us. I needed some recommendations and the lady at reception went out of her way to research and come back to me with the info. Then on the day of check in as there was no lift I was struggling to bring my suitcase down. The woman at reception heard and came over and helped me to take it down and as I didn’t have the taxi app she ordered one for me and took me outside! The hospitality was just top notch

Super friendly staff. Overall location is good, close to train and lots of activities. the entrance is in a bit of a dodgy alley however, I never had any problems but FYI if you're showing up late alone. I had a private with shared bathroom. If you're a hot sleeper like me be advised they don't allow use of the AC in shoulder season, the room was way too hot and stuffy for me so I unfortunately had to check out early.

I stayed in a deluxe queen private room and had everything I needed for a two night stay. The staff were really sweet and helpful, and the welcome/exit cookies were a nice touch.

Basic hostel - exactly what I wanted. Small room with own bathroom. You get a very cheap price because it smells a bit of damp. I would stay here again because it’s super cheap for own room.

Breakfast is sugar cereal & white toast.Wish they had more info available about places around the area.One of the staff was very helpful, 5/5stars, and another staff the following day was basically no help 0/5.So it's random if there is a staff member that can/is willing 2help you.Be prepared to search and map everything yourself, especially if you are on limited time.It's nice that they let you store luggage, esp. with such an early check out, but it was just put in hallway with no staff around

The staff was amazing and helpful. Some of my plans were ruined from the weather and they were always willing to help give local advice and suggestions which really enhanced my time. The rooms were clean and had everything I needed. The location was pretty good, quiet if that’s what you need, but really close to the subway to get where you needed to go.

Excellent location! Close to bus and train stations. Rooms were clean and comfortable with air conditioning. Building was quiet - I never heard my neighbors from my room. Staff was very very kind :) Loved the little snacks during check-in and check-out. Thank you! Would stay again

The staff was absolutely amazing. It’s spitting distance from the Gwangang Market. So for my short solo trip it was chill! But it’s pretty far away from hongdae and itaewon. Only issue is the hostel isn’t social at all. I went up to the terrace and nobody was ever up there. I def don’t recommend for solo travelers. BUT! I did like having my own room. I’d recommend this if you’ve been to Seoul before and prefer your own room.

Das Hostel ist sehr gut gelegen und die Stadt zu erkunden, allerdings ist die gegend auch bisschen unangenehm da hier einige Sexarbeiterinnen ihre Etablissements haben. Die Privatzimmer sind sehr klein und riechen leider ein bisschen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hat versucht zu helfen wo es kann :) ein weiterer Minuspunkt ist das der Zimmerservice das Bett nicht neu bezogen hat nachdem wir ihn am dritten Tag ins zimmer gelassen haben.

Everything was perfect, I recommend 100%. The service is amazing, the staff is so nice, the room and bathroom are very clean, the common area with the rooftop is amazing with a very good breakfast (buffet with cereals and bread with peanut butter and jam). And the hostel is very well located in the center of Seoul. It s definitely the best place to stay in Seoul.

I got the ensuite private room after an incredibly long journey, and it was just what I needed. It was very clean, well stocked, and close to the bus station (easy to find). I cannot comment on the atmosphere because I was in and out for one night, just to sleep and reset. If that’s what you’re looking for, this one is perfect. It was also one bus (6002) from Incheon airport.
