    Why the equipment in the rooms is different is not entirely clear. My room on the second floor had a heater and an electric blanket, although the room was quite warm without them. In my friend's room on the first floor there was not even a heater, although it is located at the entrance and there is a constant draft.

    The administrator is a very nice girl, when I checked in, I got, to put it mildly, not the best room - the administrator suggested relocating, discussed this with the manager, and the next morning a comfortable room was waiting for me. The location of the hostel is quite convenient, there is a metro station nearby, and there are also a lot of restaurants nearby. There are many convenience stores in the area. In terms of price-quality ratio, the hostel fully met my expectations, although some cosmetic renovations would have been nice) Overall, I could recommend this place to my friends.

    Not the cleanest hotel I've been to, the room and the bathroom werent cleaned thoroughly.

    It was a nice hotel, good value for the price. It provided all the basic necessities, as well as complimentary coffee and tea downstairs. There's also a laundry machine for the guests. Location is pretty convenient as well, and the staff is really nice.

    We booked this hostel because it is convenient to go to Korea University Stadium to watch concerts, about 20 minutes walking distance. Very close to the metro station, and the airport bus is also very convenient. Cost-effective, staffs speak good English, smooth communication.

    I don't like the mattress and that the bed sounds like it's breaking apart when I move. I don't think the guests know that they should pay attention when they come back from drinking in the evening even though the host have it written to pay attention for other guests sleeping. I think the sliding door between bathroom and bedroom is a little bit dirty.

    I like the warm check in that the staff gives. I like the availability to have drinking waterbottle and umbrella when it rains. The toilet and the wash in the bathroom is clean.

    The wifi in our room was not really working, it worked only in cetain areas or outside of the room. There was also no window in the whole room, which made it a bit uncomfortable. A little bit of mold in the bathroom ceiling.

    The location of the hostel was good, close to metro, bus stations and convenience stores. Inside the room was an AC and TV. The bed was comfortable. We especially enjoyed the rooftop, it was nice to have a drink in the evening and relax.

    If the room can be clean, that will be perfect. To be honest, we can't see a staff there. I was once could not get into the property with the pin code provided. The owner took times to respond

    The price is quite fair with the facilities and all. Location wise also good

    when we arrived at the property there was no manager to check in. we were waiting for him 1.5 hours in the lobby! when the manager came it turned out THAT THE HOTEL DOES NOT HAVE AVAILABLE ROOMS! But we booked ours and paid for a month before the trip! We were moved to another hotel HOSTEL SEOUL!!!! That hotel was terrible: dirt and mold everywhere, no toothbrushes, tissues or toilet paper in the room! I bought all this at my own expense. no one answered my requests and questions. After 7 days of my stay, due to heavy rains, water poured from the ceiling onto my bed! The next day I was moved to another room. at night (at one in the morning) when I was sleeping, a drunk man came into my room with the help of a key. it turned out that the room where I was moved was handed over to another man!!!!!!! There is NEVER A MANAGER at the lobby, all conversations are conducted only through correspondence in the chat, but they answer in a day! This is the worst hotel in my life! Booked through Booking.com! in the photo advertising of the hotel everything is clean and beautiful - FALSE! NEVER BOOK THIS HOTEL AND HOSTEL SEOUL!!!!
