    Location was unbeatable. Neighbourhood is the right balance of accessibility and a level of local charm feel. We're happy that we're not in the middle of Myeongdong (where prices are very high). Insadong has some pricey places but there's a lot of the independent stores (not chains) to balance it out. The place was very clean, very spacious, great view, and staff is 5 stars! Very helpful and polite staff. Bathroom was enormous.

    The location was the best for all modes of transport - the subway, the bus as well as the Airport limousine. One would not find a more convenient spot than this hostel. For the price, the room was exceptional with all the kitchen and washing facilities added with the hostel having an escalator so carrying of luggage was minimal. Staff were very polite and accommodating - 5 stars on all accord!

It was a 5 star stay. We visited the historical sights Palaces, Temples, Museums. I cannot exclude the visit to the DMZ - which was a 5-star experience, here I read in the expression of the soldiers that "Freedom is not free!". in conclusion it was a dream stay. Thank you.

    First of all, the location is superb, just 1min from the Yeoksam station. all the staffs even house keeping staffs are very kind. Actually It seems a bit dodgy coz it was too cheap price, just 4,5000 won(37 dollars) but it was real. I am quite sure you never get this quality of hotels in Seoul with this price, strongly recommend you must stay here. I would give them 10 stars even though 5 stars are maximum.
