The guesthouse itself served its purpose for my overnight stay in the area. The bed was clean, and the staff was helpful and informative. The bathroom in my dorm was interesting in that if the sink ran too long, the floor flooded. Also, our dorm room door stayed unlocked the entire night. It wasn't a problem, but it defeated the purpose of giving us room keys.

I've been to many hostels all over the world and this is one of the best ones I have stayed at. You are provided with a towel and a lock for your locker. They have "breakfast" included. It is mostly cereal, toast, juice and milk. I came during December and the room was warm. It is in a convenient location, close to a lot of shopping and food and the subway.

This is a so so hostel. The bathrooms are a little funky where they are both toilet stalls and showers. I think the bunkrooms could be better ventilated, and for some reason the hallways smelled like poo (not sure if this is typically the case). The location is great though and very close to a metro station. Also I thought the staff was very kind and accommodating.

I, like a couple other folks, had a longer than usual stay. However, it was two weeks well spent. The staff always do a good job showing interest in the guests and their needs. In addition, there is plenty of food for the free breakfast (eggs toast. jam cereal, butter coffee) , and they are quite flexible when it comes to potential timing concerns. However, I do have one request...and that is make sure guests are not smoking in the room and try to convince the smokers that when they stand RIGHT BY THE OPEN DOOR and engge in their habit, the smell fills the entire place. I don't wish to be rude but non-smokers don't need have to endure that . That is it...I loved my stay and am grateful there was room.

I stayed there three times the past few months and each time was a nice experience. The rooms were clean, along with the bathrooms/showers. The guest lobby is very useful and pragmatic, if you like to stay in and cook four yourself. The free breakfast in the morning in plentiful, with eggs, toast (with plenty of butter and jam), cereal and coffee. There plenty of books to read, informative literature to guide your through Seoul and the staff are all ready to help and answer questions in a friendly manner.

The best part about the hostel is definitely the staff! They were very helpful in answering questions I had about planning my trip, and changed me to a different room as well to make me feel more comfortable. The showers could have been cleaner, but functioned well enough. It was great to have the laundry facilities right there and for a very reasonable price. It needs to be noted that the hostel has a lot of steps and stairs though, which could be a problem for some. Other than that, it is in a good location, with buses and the metro very close by. Lots of food places around and fairly easy access to airports and bus stations. The bed was very comfy and the sheets clean and the towel provided. The rooms had lockers too so that was great. I had a good time here :)

Better Hostel Than Expected
Was rather surprised by some of the stuff included in the room. Free shampoo, soap, a heated floor, free laundry facilities, etc. Perhaps I just haven't been to enough, but I didn't know there were hostels which included such things. The staff seemed close and friendly too, which was nice. That it was so close to a train station and street covered in restaurants is also a plus. Can't say I'm too fond of all the stairs though...

It was a hostel
Staff were cool, breakfast options were wonderful. Beds shook a little, no curtain dividers for individual bunks, and the shower was inside the room in between the loo and sink (so everything became wet when used). worried about ventilation for shower room. Be prepared for many stairs.

В целом все понравилось
Персонал внимательный, не смотря на языковой барьер (я не говорю по корейски и не знаю английского) все понятно, заселяешься в комнату, предоставляют ключи с номером твоей кровати и этим же номером ячейки. Есть туалетные принадлежности, шампунь, кондиционер, гель для душа, зуб паста, мыло, полотенца, фен. На этаже стоит кулер с холодной и горячей водой. Понравился отличный, сытный завтрак. Так же в течении дня можно готовить свою еду. На крыше есть терраса. Минусы: поскольку район с клубами и барами некоторые соседи возвращаются поздно ночью.

fair
good breakfast of toast, cerials, eggs, milk and several kinds of juices. there was little kitchen in the little dining area which is next to reception, so sometimes it was crowded and busy but I had no serious problem. Since there is stairs from the ground to the buildings on the hill, another stairs to the reception and possibly more to some rooms in the upstairs, it might be a little less convenient for travelers with big baggages. Toilet and shower were equipped in the same little room, so sometimes it was all fully wet. But hot water was working fine. Rooftop was good and spacious. There are many shops by foreign immigrants with many bars, a little night spot maybe suit to people who want to enjoy night spots. Meanwhile there is different mood in the neighbor street with a lot of vintage stores clothing shops, some cafes, comfortable to walk around in the daytime.
