Location was wonderful. We could see the N Seoul tower from the entrance of the hotel. The rooftop breakfast was nice and had a great view of the area. The host was so kind. We had to take an earlier train than expected so she kept our suitcases for us when we arrived and we were even able to check in earlier once the room was ready, she even put the bags in our room for us. She was very attentive and made sure we had a great stay. The room was small but cosy and has everything we needed.

My favourite hostel in Seoul. Clean, relatively spacious, very open and inviting, solid breakfast (toast, jam, coffee, cereal, eggs). Hosts spoke English, communicated well through Booking.com and WhatsApp, even helped me look for a health clinic for examinations.

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.
