It was conveniently located in a fun area of town. The breakfast was better than I expected for a hostel. I loved the independent ability I had to prep and clean my own meal.

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 hostel is located close to many attractions within easy walking distance, including various palaces. The mattress was very comfortable. The hostel offers many additional services, such as free coffee, tea, and water. There are also hairdryers and steamers for ironing clothes. I particularly appreciated the courtesy and helpfulness of the staff. They found my cell phone, which I had lost in my room, and gave it to me. They went to great lengths to help me with the problem. The girls at the reception were truly kind and incredibly friendly. The people of Seoul are truly special and contributed to my immense enthusiasm for this city. I definitely want to come back.

The best stay I’ve ever experienced so far! The owner and the staff were incredibly polite, helpful, and easy to talk to. They went above and beyond to assist me during my stay, even kindly kept my bag for two days while I traveled to Busan. I truly appreciate the warm hospitality.

    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.
