Super central to food and shopping as well as near public transport for sightseeing. The room was very comfortable with luxury amenities like Dyson hair dryer, bidet, big shower and tub. Free drinks in the minibar, Nespresso machine with not just 1 but 4 capsules for 1 night stay. Layout is great also with a cozy mini 1 seater chair nook area that was extremely cozy. Amazing service by a staff named Carol at front desk who catered to our very need. Also cool movie theme!

I had a perfect stay! Cozy hostel with extremely friendly and helpful staff just 1 - 2 min walk from Dongdaemun metro station. The soundproofing and bathroom drainage are the only minor problems I found. I didn’t take any photos of the hostel—just a photo of the air conditioner remote. lol.

The location of the facility was very convenient. It has a very accessible location from the subway stations. The hygiene overall of the facility was great!

I’ve stayed at many hostels during my travels, but this one in Seoul stands out as truly exceptional. It’s a brand-new space, and you can tell the owners have put so much care into making it perfect for guests. The layout of the building is incredibly cool and functional, with separate shower and bathroom facilities that are not only spotless but thoughtfully designed something you rarely find in hostels. The location is ideal, close to all the action but in a quiet area that allows for a good night’s sleep. What truly makes this place special, though, are the owners. They are some of the kindest and most welcoming people I’ve met, always ready to help and make your stay feel like home. Their passion for hospitality shines through in every detail, from the cleanliness to the warm atmosphere they create. If you’re visiting Seoul, I can’t recommend this hostel enough. It’s hands down the best place I’ve stayed—comfortable, clean, and run by people who genuinely care about your experience. This place deserves all the success in the world, and I’ll definitely be back on my next visit to Seoul!

    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.
