The localization was great and the apartment was clean and cozy. We had everything we needed and the owner was super friendly and caring. It was perfect for us with the Myeongdong station being so close to us too. Breakfast was also good and all guests were friendly with us.

Great location in Itaewon, convenient for travel anywhere in Seoul. Breakfast was pastries, toast, cereal with a surprisingly good/strong filter coffee. The staff were always helpful and friendly. The rooftop was perfect for sunset. Great value for money, great little hostel.

Location was incredible. Many places were within walking distance, including Insadong shopping and restaurants and the palaces and Bukchon Hanok Village. The room was spotless. Bed, fridge, small table with mirror and stool. Typical Asian bathroom with the shower not separated from the sink and toilet. Very quiet considering the busy street behind my room. The staff were very friendly and helpful and had great English. I would highly recommend this hotel for young people. As an older traveler, I would have enjoyed a little more space and comfort, the bed was high to afford space underneath for suitcases, but overall well worth the reasonable price.

It’s super clean and has all new amenities. Location is perfect in the middle of all the main Seoul attractions. Self-serve breakfast is included in the stay but I didn’t have time in the morning to eat any.

    It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

    Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.

    This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
