Great place Hopefully they’re still there when I come back to Seoul!

Viayaneh United States of America

Very very good location, walking distance to everywhere around hongdae. The room was very very small but it has a lot of storage space which is cool for people with big bags.

Belenc86 South Korea

The staff were nice, and the facility was clean. I had a four person shared room, and it was comfy. I only stayed for 2 nights, but I didn't have a problem with the noise, or any other problems I thought I might have had sharing a room. :)

Ariah South Korea

The location. The cost for what we got. The staff was nice. Very clean. Again excellent location. Convenient and comfortable bed

Lara South Korea

I liked how I was able to leave my luggage at the luggage area a little longer after checkout. It helped a lot because of how heavy it was.

Jessica South Korea

Located in Hongdae, which is heart of Seoul. And it’s really cheap XD

Jinjoo South Korea

Cheap price including breakfast, cozy room and nice staff. Near sangsu station.

Jenny China

This hostel is totally worth the price! The location is good, 5min walk to Sangsu station, also close to Hongdea area. It’s very clean and cozy, and the room is big and with a dresser. It provides simple breakfast, and I also like the public living room. Great choice in Hongdea!

Jenny China

Nice staff~ helped with luggage. Pretty good facility for its rate~ accessible kitchen and lobby. Wifi and interesting location

Solises South Korea

The location is top notch and the staff offer a lot of additional services that are hard to find. For example: the option to leave your baggage during specific times, towels, private refrigerators and breakfast. The staff is super friendly
