A hostel with a great location in the center of city, pretty close to the main attractions of Seoul. Subway station is in 1 min walk from the hostel. The owner is a nice helpful man, speaking English :)
Response from Property: Thank you for staying with us.

The manager and staff were very accommodating and helpful! The simple breakfast they prepared was a lot better than other hostels we've stayed at. We had a good and comfortable rest in the hostel. The only downside was the nearby beer houses so we would walk by the street with some people smoking.
Response from Property: Thank you. I will remember your beautiful smile!!

I was offered a free upgrade, and the staff was able to assist with my request. The manager was super helpful and friendly. The location is good, although it's in a somewhat sketchy area. The room was clean, but the kitchen was smelly and dirty.
Response from Property: Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you appreciated the upgrade and the helpfulness of our staff and manager. We apologize for the issues with the kitchen and will make sure to address this with our cleaning team. Your comments about the location are also valuable, and we will continue to work on making improvements. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future

Location is super central. Photos are from Gwangjang market which is less than a 5 minute walk away. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom big. Would stay again!

The reception is very nice and helpful, he recommended us the best local food around the hostel which is delighted and cheap!
The breakfast is fine, there are a kitchen and cafeteria downstairs which is very convenient for the travellers.
The room is quite small and there was no lift so it might quite difficult for those who bring a large and heavy luggage.
The location of this hostel is very near to the station.
Overall is a good hostel and thankyou to the reception that helping us throughout the trip!

Aside from clean and affordable price of the room, it’s also a quiet place with english speaking and accommodating staffs. They also offer free light breakfast and big thing they have water dispenser so you don’t have to go outside the hotel just to buy water when you’re thirsty. All in all we had a convenient and comfortable stay.😊😊😊

Small simple hotel. Location provided is not so accurate take sometimes to figure out where it located. Simple room just for you to rest nothing much inside. Towels provided outside the corridor for you to take and changes. No lift in the building have to climb until 4th floor slightly not convenience. Breakfast just simple bread and milk.

In general, it's ok for budget tourists!
Very responsive owner, cheerful. Helped carry suitcases upstairs. At first they gave us a room with the wrong type of bed on the 4th floor, then they themselves realized that they made a mistake and the next day they changed the room, which unfortunately was not cleaned. They promised to clean, but never came. The room has everything you need - shampoo, gel, hair dryer, towels. The air conditioner blows right into the bed at night, we were afraid of catching a cold.. the breakfasts are ordinary - coffee, tea, toast, ham, cheese, jam, everything is fine)
It's fine for just spending the night.

The bedsheets are taut and clean. The floor heating is on so you don't feel cold. There are no lingering smells. Meals are toast, cereal, fruit juice, etc. You wash your own dishes. The concept is 220v. It's best to check and bring a transformer.

It's very close to the subway station and easy to find. It's very quiet in the alley and you can have a good rest! The gentleman at the counter is handsome and the service is friendly! There are many gourmet restaurants nearby! Convenient transportation!

Great location, metro, bus stops, next to the night market. Everything matches the description. The room is small, but all the basics are there. European breakfast - eggs, toast, cereal. Administrators speak English, know a little Russian 😉. Always ready to help. I liked the stay.
