I found it’s really convenient since the hostel is close to Sangwangsimni station (easy transportation to famous nearby attractions). The staffs were super friendly and helpful. Although the condition of the room and the property in general were quite average. Personally I don’t think it’s that clean considering I met cockroaches the moment I entered the room. But considering the location and the price, it’s actually a pretty nice place to stay in Seoul if you’re on a budget.

The staff there was so lovely and knew how to speak English well. A male worker (sorry I don't know his name) helped me weigh my luggage because I was not strong enough to lift it, which I appreciated a lot! For the price, I would definitely go back when I'm back in Korea. The room is also spacious for one person.

A great option for travellers looking for an inexpensive stay in Seoul. It's conveniently right near Wangsimni Station and the staff are friendly. It's kind of a no-frills accommodation, but it is more than sufficient.

The property is suitable for young travelers on a budget. The room is spacious but the toilet is slightly small and might not be the best for the elderly. The European-looking staff was very kind and kudos to her for answering our questions patiently and helping us out with recommendations. However, the other Korean staff forgot about our request to make our room and was late opening the lobby for breakfast service.

Not a bad hotel near 2 subway stations

Friendly receptionist, good kitchen and cooking area with breakfast provided. However, there was a strange smell coming out from the air conditioner and the water temperature was hardly consistent. But overall, for a short stay at this price is pretty good.

Mixed feelings!

+The best part was the location of the property. +Highly accessible. +Well kept and clean. +They spoke English which is great too. = Even though they boast of breakfast, it is minimal and gets the job done, so don’t expect a spread or a banquet. X It was a hostel with Warden. Not a hotel. So don’t expect customer delight while the service is purely transactional. X I wish the room was bigger and had closet space especially for guests staying long.
