I stayed at this hostel for 3 nights while visiting Seoul. The property and room are very clean and at a very good price. The service is excellent; the manager, was always available to help me, especially when I had questions about places to visit or needed restaurant suggestions. Moreover, the big advantage of this establishment is its location: you are literally next to everything. The subway, restaurants, and arcade games are less than a two-minute walk away. Finally, if you like going out at night for a drink or going to a club, the famous Hongdae district is only 5 minutes away by subway. All these reasons justify these 10 points 👉

The accomodation is in a great location if you are in Seoul for sightseeing, right in the middle of the main spots and close to 3 lines of subway. As for the accomodation itself, it was just everything we could ask for. Room was small but thanks to the space under the bed we fit with 6 suitcases very comfortably. The kitchen had everything too, ramen, tea, water and coffee for free. Everything was clean and the staff was always incredibly helpful and welcoming. One staff member even offered me and my friend her umbrella when it was raining, she was the sweetest. Highly recommend!

The facilities and location were amazing for the price. It’s less than a minute walk from Dongdaemun Station, which made getting around super convenient. The room was simple but had everything I needed, so it was perfect for just resting. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave great restaurant recommendations and even helped me book a Seoul city-tour bus, which made my trip much easier. The shared kitchen was also a nice touch, with free coffee, tea, and even ramen! I had such a comfortable stay, and next time I come back, I’d love to stay even longer.

Breakfast served as a Korean-style course meal and was delicious, but the Korean-style menu has a somewhat spicy menu. The bed is soft and the bedding is clean. The location is good

    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.
