El personal del hotel es muy amable, Constanza que estaba en recepciรณn es encantadora. Nos explicรณ todo con mucho detalle. El hotel estรก en una ubicaciรณn perfecta con una gran conexiรณn tanto del aeropuerto como de la estaciรณn de tren ya que es lรญnea directa. Cerca del hotel hay muchas cafeterรญas y restaurantes.
Como punto negativo, si bien el hotel indica que no se use el secador a partir de las 12 de la noche, algunas personas de la habitaciรณn de al lado estuvieron hasta las 2 de la maรฑana secรกndose el pelo.
Stayed here for 3 nights while in Sinchon. All the staff and the owner were extremely kind of helpful. There are tons of cafes & good restaurants nearby as well as Yonsei university. The building is very modern and there is a lot of shopping around as well if that's your thing. This is also the cheapest place in the area, but it didn't feel like a cheap place to me at all.
This hostel is rather modern and new. The location is amazing for all the activities around Sinchon, Yeonnam-dong and Hongdae as well as other areas, as the bus stop is really close by, with many buses. there is a bit of a hill to get to the hostel along the roads, but I found after arriving that there is a nice staircase/ramp from the main road directly to the hostel. It comes out right in front of the hostel.
My only (and significant)complaint is that I booked a deluxe double room to be by myself. But when I got there, the double rooms are actually two rooms (each with their own door obviously) that share a common entryway. Not usually a problem, but the door to each room was not able to be locked AT ALL. there was a flimsy latch and hook, and not even a door handle, so the door was always slightly open. I did not feel comfortable staying in the room as I didn't know who was staying in the other room, and they had 24 hour access to myself and my belongings. Not what you expect when you fork out the extra money to have a room to yourself. I expect privacy and security. (Note the door to the common entryway was secure, with an electronic keypad).
in the room you also heard all the plumbing and other noises, as the plumbing is not hidden or insulated in a roof cavity, but the room follows an industrial style of exposed plumbing.
Also, I stayed during winter and the room had a portable radiator to heat the room. It did get the room warm enough but i didnt like that.
The place is clean.
However it is located on the hill and you need to climb up a little.
If you are travelling with big luggage it will be a problem.
And there is no elevator.
If you are travelling only with your backpack, it is perfectly ok.
we went by the longer route (via google map) to get to the hostel & it was a up-hill challenge.. there's another shorter route which the staffs informed us and it's definitely faster. That aside, we got the family room at the very last min, 2 hours before check in. It was spacious, 2 queen size bed for 4 adults, a little sofa corner and private bathroom and we are on the first floor. A really new hostel, as the aircon is only used during summer (and it's now still winter), we rely on the ventilation from the window which doesnt have a lock which is really dangerous. Otherwise, you hear foot steps of other guests walking by to get to their rooms on the next level. Great for budget travellers, it is walking distance to the main hongdae night street, there's full of life at night, shopping, cafes, food. Takes about 10mins by foot to get there, location is not too bad.
