This is without a doubt the best hostel I have ever stayed at. Not only did they offer free towels, breakfast, but you can get a tax return for your stay, such a great surprise. This hostel has most easy going and friendly employees , and it is very social. Super clean, and even hairbrushes, toothbrushes and various toiletries were provided! The hostel is superbly next to the airport bus stop as well!

Honestly this hostel is the best I’ve ever stayed in. They’ve created a home away from home feel that is hard to replicate usually in hostels. They thought about EVERYTHING. Whatever you may want or need, they’re able to help. Free breakfast included, plentiful and tasty. As well as ramen, coffee etc, you name it! The kitchen/common area on the top floor is a great space. And the outdoor terraces, and the views, are spectacular. My private room was great - everything I needed fo...

This was probably the best hostel I've stayed in my life. The hosts are super friendly and helpful and offer great tipps for what to do in Seoul. The hostel is at a very good location, very clean, offers free breakfast and has a free washing machine and dryer. So generous! The rooms are spacious enough and has good lockers. As a female single traveller I felt safe there and I can wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Cleanest hostel I have ever stayed in! Juyoung was the best! Always giving recommendations and made getting to the hostel from the airport for late check in seamless. Definitely stay here if you’re looking for a clean hostel with great staff!

The location is conveniently located with access to the subway and direct bus connections to the airport. The property is very clean and super well taken care of - managed by some very dedicated staff! However the highlight of the property for me was the friendly and helpful vibes. Would highly recommend

This is the perfect place to go if you want a clean, relaxing, hotel-like hostel experience! They have great amenities, specifically separate shower rooms for full privacy. They also have organized events such as yoga and movie nights! Thanks for a great visit.

This was an absolutely top notch hostel. I stayed in 4 hostels in Seoul, the other 3 were pretty rubbish tbh. This one is faultless, super clean, very new and modern, run by excellent guys. Right by the metro station to hop around on. Don’t consider staying anywhere else in Seoul!

The only difference between this hostel and a five star hotel, is that you're sharing a room with others. I've never seen another hostel this clean, modern, and inviting! From the start, you'll be greeted by the most amazing staff. They really go out of their way to ensure you'll have a great time in Seoul, and of course, at the hostel! The rooms, bathrooms, common areas etc were absolutely perfect. Very clean and spacious. Free breakfast, free usage of the washing machine and free amenities...

Genuinely one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! The staff are so friendly and helpful! The beds are extremely comfy and they have sliders for you to wear around. The dorm beds have curtains and lockers for privacy! And the showers are just amazing 😂 also location wise it’s so close to the underground station which goes everywhere and there is also a 7/11 less than a few feet away from the hostel. Would definitely recommend 🫶

Wow was this one of the best hostels I stayed at. Amazing staff, the location is right next to the subway station, super clean bed and great amenities(including slippers, cotton buds, dental floss, and dental kit).
