    The shape of the stairs for the second bed makes the legs feel a little sore when we go up.

    Staff is kind, location is good, clean with private bathroom, and also goo price.

    Good Budget hostel but too expensive on weekends

    Ventilation in the room is quite uncomfortable and the air-conditioning is pretty dusty it seems. Had sinus issues/blocked nose after staying here. If you get a top bunk, you probably won't enjoy your stay because the beds are very creaky/narrow. It is expensive for what it is on the weekends and you can find much more comfortable hostels/guesthouses for the same price on the weekends/busy periods. 20K max is all I'd pay for this hostel, anything more, and you're being robbed. Kitchen is a bit dirty/not very well equipped and some equipment is off-limits for guests and reserved for the volunteers, which makes you feel a bit like a second class citizen.

    The staff and volunteers are all really nice and welcoming, and they do a thorough clean through every morning. Bathrooms are clean/nice to use. If you get a bottom bunk then it's quite comfortable. It's very good value on the weekdays.

    Place for a few days rest. An oasis in your journey ⁹

    Just the fact that there is only the toilet available for you to use is the one in your dormitory. For that reason alone leaves at mercy the other person in your dormitory.

    The location is quite okay, if you are travelling to explore the greater parts of the country. Just à places to rest for a few days.

    The railing on the top bunk of the bed does not seem very secure and I accidentally unhooked it whilst climbing down the ladder on my first try. I wouldn’t want to roll against it in any meaningful way for fear it would give way. The building also doesn’t have an elevator so it’s not very accessible.

    Excellent location, great price, clean and relatively comfortable. The staff were also really nice. If you need to get to the Express Bus Terminal or Line 2 this place is perfect.

    No extra light near the bed. Lack of curtains to the bed. Quite late check in (3 pm).

    Very good location. It's in front of the main street but during the night it was silent. It was clean. 4 beds in the room. good price/quality ratio.

    I don't wanna complain too much about anything because this hostel was the cheapest option in a great location. However, the blanket on the bed had some stains, as well as the towel looked very sad being partly torn and with stains... And the walls had dark spots in the corners that seemed like mold... Would I still book this hostel again? Probably yes for the price and the room was pretty big for a single room.

    - Great location with two subway stations very close by. - Plenty of convenience stores, cafes, restaurants and anything you might need in walkable distance. - Free water dispenser was a life saver. - Very nice staff. - Spacious room and bathroom.

    there is automatic light at room, means when you move in bed in your sleep or want to quitely take something from your bag, the entire room lights up and wakes people up, including yourself, this is a terrible design choice. I had to leave early so I packed the night before but when i got up early in the morning to quitely leave the place, the automatic light woke up my roommates. the door handle to our bathroom was broken but worked. the blanket is a polyester blanket, means you will sweat to death if sleeping with it, even if it is not hot in the room.

    clean, good location and helpful staff. there is just one huge downside I will mention down here.

    It would be useful to have curtains by the bed. There is a motion sensor light in the room, so every time someone came inside, I was woken up.

    The hostel is located close to the subway station, but a bit far from the main attractions. The room and bathroom were clean. The staff is very nice, you can leave your luggage after check out.

    Only one bathroom for 4 men. I'm a tall person and the bed was barely enough. Also I had back pain from sleeping.

    The price. It's also very close to the subway and to the Seoul station.

    - No elevator/lift available. You will need to take the stairs to 3rd floor to reach the reception. And then you need to take another stairs to get to your room if you get the 4th floor rooms. - The kitchen is quite dirty. Inside the microwave is dirty. No kitchen utensils, even for spoons, forks, chopsticks, plates, and glasses. - The provided towels is a hand towel, so you might want to bring a bigger towel for showering.

    Nearby the subway exit. But it's quite far from the city centre. Even if you want to go to Gangnam tourist area, you need to take the subway (again).

    No sink in the kitchen. But having a sink in every room resolves that. Overall there’s not much to dislike

    Location and helpful staff. I was on the 4th floor with a heavy bag and halfway up a worker saw me and carried my bag the rest of the way. There aren’t any elevators.

    The room was small but totally acceptable, the bathroom on the other hand was spacious and unexpectedly comfortable. The staff cleaned the room regularly, so it stayed clean at all times. Everybody was extremely nice and helpful. The location was also quite convenient, a bit far from the city center but close to the key public transport, which made it easy to navigate the city. I was also staying over during the coldest months (December/January) and was worried it would get cold at night, but the temperature inside was kept at a perfect level.
