I love the location, the cleanliness, the food available for us as much as the profesional staff always doing everything to help us out and to answer our multiples questions, even the cleaning lady help and told us what to look for on our excursion. The staff makes a great atmosphere where everyone feels welcome!

I little cramped - I wish there was more room at the full length mirror, but really well priced and safe in a busy area. ##### Larissa Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo-Anne 2 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hostel nearby subway line, limousine bus to airport and Myeong-Dong. Liked having a private room/bathroom, with a shared cooking/dining area.

Pretty much in the heart of Myeong-dong. The room and the common area are very cozy and clean. The staff are very nice and kind. ##### YIFANG Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vinod 23 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Pleasantly surprised.

Great service, very helpful staff. The room was okay, bit noisy and small but the pay off is the location. Loved having 2 washing machines to use for free and the free food in the kitchen (eggs, toast, etc.) ##### Joel Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sameen 3 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best place to stay! Gem of a place! In the heart of bustling Myeongdong yet on a quiet side street. The staff were very welcoming, spoke great English and showed me and explained all the amenities clearly. My room had a double bed, a desk with a lamp and clock and two stools. There was a wide windowsill so I could easily store my necessities there behind the bed. The bathroom was big and clean and I just loved the shower! I had a very comfortable stay and could adjust the AC temp to my liking. For breakfast there was all the essentials - bread and a range of things to spread on top, cereal, eggs, tea and coffee. There was instant noodles too. Best part for me was the washer-dryer as I had already spent a week in Seoul for work staying at hotels and now I could wash all my clothes. Roaming around and returning to the hostel was so easy because of its central location and the streets are lively till past midnight. The room is great for single person although a couple could stay (might be tight for storing luggage for 2) but the other rooms like twin room could be more suitable for 2 people. I would highly recommend and will stay here again when I come. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/26FB0F1588F22473F153CE38C4BBB0CA1B8870B41725382120709.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F5D145A83E2DCD45E915E83CA2868AC5CE1F825F1725382120952.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sameen Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Yi 12 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very good location, safe, walkable to popular areas within minutes. ##### Yi Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### YI MAN 10 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities One of the best hostel ##### YI MAN Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Constantin 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything as expected, would definitely come again ##### Constantin Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### VIET 18 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It's compact and quiet ##### VIET Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa 10 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quaint small hostel situated in the heart of Myeongdong. Rooms are small (to be expected) but have everything you need. Incheon airport bus stop (Ibis Hotel) and Euljiro 1-ga Station are just around the corner. Can get noisy due to the location but should quieten by 11pm once the shop’s shut. Entrance into building is a little hard to find but it’s next to a cafe called Metcha. ##### Melissa Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Yee Fat 29 Nov 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort In the room, no even have cup but available of refil water as I need water to take pil at night as we are staying at 5th floor, all the cups are located at 6th floor.
