The staff were very helpful. The only thing is that some of the other lodgers were not very respectful of the other people including the staff. They were loud at night and were not following the hostel rules. ##### Hanna ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathon 21 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exceptional Atmosphere This hostel is very underrated. I can't quite comprehend how it's rating is 7/10 on many booking sites. For the price that I paid (about £7.80) per night, the value was exceptional. The entire place was organised efficiently whilst maintaining a volunteer based friendly atmosphere. They have volunteers from Germany, the U.S. and South Africa and this makes for a fun environment. I unfortunately only snapped one picture as I was leaving, however, there is a very spacious upstairs too with lots of common space as well as an outside area. The location is great and there is a kitchen with a stove, microwave and hot water dispenser. Towels are included, as are bathroom soaps and shampoo. Would recommend 110% if the price is right. ##### Jonathon Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastic hostel.

There was paper in the sink and the bathroom was unisex with only a shower curtain to separate. ##### Malinda Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Samuel 22 Mar 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you like bed bugs then this is your place! When I first arrived I was given a bed in a dorm that was okay. The next day the woman in the other bunk was covered in bed bug bites. Then the staff removed my stuff without me knowing so that they could replace the mattress. The next day they “disinfected” the room. That smell made everyone so nauseous, but it went away after 3 days. Well two days later and I’m now covered in bed bug bites. Not to mention the staff didn’t only just remove my stuff without consent, they don’t clean ever, the owner is very passive aggressive, and the other staff members were quite inappropriate to many guest. The only good thing is the price ##### Samuel ### 6/10 Okay #### yoshinari 2 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 一階のシャワーは水圧弱いです 2階のシャワーがおすすめ。 ドミトリー部屋に換気扇がなさそうなのが気になった。ゲストハウスに慣れている人なら大丈夫です。 清潔感はまあまあ。近くにコンビニあり 弘大駅から歩いて行けます。 ##### yoshinari Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### YOONKYOO 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities 대체로 조아 ##### YOONKYOO Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 18 Apr 2025 何度も訪問しているゲストハウス。 今回はオーナーご夫妻がご対応頂いたので快適に過ごせました。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DAIRI 21 Jan 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 安く快適に過ごせます。 7年振りくらいの滞在でした。 ホステルのスタッフが親切で楽しかったです。 お安いお値段で快適に過ごすことが出来ました。 騒がしい方々、配慮に欠けた方々は居ませんでした。 また行きます。 ##### DAIRI Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alejandro 12 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities La localización está de locos para poder moverte en transporte público hasta los principales puntos de interés. ##### Alejandro Stayed 11 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 편안한 새 둥지 가정집에 있는 것 같은 편안함이 좋았습니다. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Akihiro 18 Aug 2024 良かった ##### Akihiro Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### AKIRA 25 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### 良かった 安くて短期間でも泊まれて良かったです。 ##### AKIRA Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### tiehchung 15 Jun 2024 #### 不錯的選擇，價格便宜 廚房可以煮，這在韓國少見，韓國的青年旅館廚房通常只能煮水跟使用微波爐，但是很遺憾禁止烹煮蝦蟹貝殼類海鮮，相對於臺灣的價格，韓國螃蟹非常便宜，但是就是不能料理。 很多西方人，客廳也容易交朋友。 ##### tiehchung Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nathalie 23 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Le personnel est particulièrement réactif, sympa et accessible.
