Much cheaper than a hotel, and the double bed-room was comfortable. Some of the finishes were a little worn, but for a hostel, I can't complain. I recommend for solo travelers. ##### Kaitlyn Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### sung jin 2 Jun 2025 Good for young person to save money. ##### sung jin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ali 5 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very bad experience We did not expected, since it is different with booking scores and picture of room The quality was low and might suitable as a student room ##### Ali Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### chienju 3 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities There is no public toilet on the first floor, it is very inconvenient to go to the toilet ##### chienju Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ingrid 13 Apr 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay away!! The only good thing about this hostel is the location as it is a street away from the metro station. Aside from that, this is the filthiest hostel I have ever stayed in. I place looks like a hoarders live in the “kitchen area.” The refrigerator hasn’t been cleaned in over a year, food is shoved into every nook, extension cords are a bliss and the floor hasn’t not been mopped since installed. When can be found, the staff is not at all helpful at providing simple information that they should know. The rooms are less than halfway decent in comfort but look as though the walls will soon crumble from lack of construction and patching. There was a girl who, for two nights slept in the kitchen and did not move, as to be passed out from a night of hard drinking. Another girl who must be living there would dry her hair at the dining tables and brush her teeth in the kitchen sink rather than use the bathroom in her assigned room. Fortunately I wasn’t expecting much and slept there only for three hours and used the place as a luggage storage and location to charge my phone. I do not recommend this place to anyone no mater the price. ##### Ingrid Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 18 Feb 2023 All in all only night for just sleep was okay. There was no receptionist. There was information to call Korean number but I was foreigner, didn’t have number. Later some person (maybe she was helper) helped me where the bedroom was but mostly I didn't know about anything until I had to ask question. Living area was small, mostly full and it looked like some people were long residents or helpers, so only a few space for short visitor in the peak time. Dormitory room was spacious but there was no trash box inside room, I didn't know where to throw trush at first. Shower bathroom was only one available in the big dormitory room, no extra toilet in common area. Mostly toilet room was wet n messy after somebody took shower there. Upper bed was shaky, the bed without bed light was sometimes inconvenient. Breakfast was toast, instant noodle, egg n orange juice. Common fridge was mostly full of long stay residents, only little space for short visitors. A little insufficient hospitality and socialising atmosphere. Better stay other bigger places if you wanna socialise with other travelers ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Takuya 5 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 値段が、安かったので、お値段の割に、良かったです ##### Takuya Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hakan 11 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Mein Zimmer war im Keller es hat bisschen komisch gerochen aber war noch okay. In meinem Zimmer waren wir 14 Leute bzw gab es so viel Betten und es gab nur ein Badezimmer sehr wenig für so viel Leute. Küchen Ausstattung als Frühstück war Nix besonderes Instant Nudeln, Eier ,Toast, Tee, Kaffeepulver und erdnüssbutter. Für so 3 Nächte ist eigentlich okay. Ich finde das Hostel kann auch renoviert werden bisschen damit es besser aussieht von innen. Es gab ein laundry Service das ist gut. ##### Hakan Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 12 Dec 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 一般の方は泊まれない宿だと思います。 非常に不潔で不快な宿です。 汚物がトイレ内に散乱していたり、部屋も清掃されてないです。 個室はもしかしたらもう少し快適かもしれませんが、ホテル(?)内がそもそも臭いので快適に過ごせるとは思えません。 相当な覚悟がある方は泊まってみると良いです。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Hing tong 2 Nov 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 沒有電水煲沒有電梯, 行上行落, 想健身, FIT曬。 房間沒有電水煲, 要到地方大堂才有冷熱水; 沒有電梯, 要提行李喼上幾層樓。 ##### Hing tong Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kira 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Staff & service サービスがとても良く、チェックインとチェックアウトが簡単にできた。 ##### Kira Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Hina 10 Nov 2023 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities 部屋がきたなかった ##### Hina Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### yui 26 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 地下鉄駅からも近く、大通りから横道に入ってすぐなので、夜遅くに宿へ戻るときも安心でした。 ##### yui Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### MASARU 9 Oct 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 中央通りから1本奥なので分かりにくい 地下鉄3番出口を出て目の前の歩道橋を渡って左に行き、コンビニのCUがある手前を右に入りさらに右奥にある 基本スタッフがおらず無人でタブレット端末の操作をして何をするべきかを知らないといけない ##### MASARU Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### toshiko 1 Jul 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities スタッフがいなかった。誰がスタッフなのかもわからなかった。最寄駅がどこに行くのも便利で駅から近かったのだけがよかった。 ##### toshiko Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 19 May 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Prix minimum - service minimum Je vais commencer par dire que je n'ai pas passé un mauvais séjour mais qu'il y a quand-même pas mal de critiques à faire. Les points positifs : le prix et la localisation. Service : pas un bonjour, on sent qu'ils ne sont pas payés assez pour répondre aux questions... Chauffage au sol en plein mois de mai... j'ai été obligé d'allumer la clim pour compenser tellement il faisait chaud... Les revêtements de sol du couloir sont complètement usés et faisaient tellement de bruit que je croyais que quelqu'un entrait dans ma chambre à chaque fois qu'on passait devant. J'ai tenté d'allumer la télé par curiosité. Elle ne marchait pas. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katlyn 10 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The staff was excellent! They stayed an hour late for us to check in when we didn’t know what time check in ended. And the room was very clean and well decorated! We felt right at home. We will definitely be coming here again! (And will be there before check in ends! Sorry!) ##### Katlyn Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly atmosphere. Nice kitchen with drinks available. I was originally booked into the larger mixed dorm but got upgraded to the 6-bed female dorm when I arrived, which was really good for me as a young solo female traveller. Really convenient, central location. Overall, a comfortable and easy stay! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Martita, California 3 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is a pretty cool hostel. I had a private room. It was the perfect size for one. Hostel is super close to subway exit. During my time there, there was 2 different front desk guys.
