3.6 You pay for what you get… cheap and nasty - Nicolas 04-04-2025

Review: nnChecking in is a bit of a joke, it’s not a good process. There was no receptionist the whole time I was there.nnDust everywhere, stains on the sheets from who knows what… black mould in the bathroom, the hostel smells disgusting.nnWashing machines and driers are free which is good. The train station is close which is also good. nnBut honestly you pay for what you get, you want cheap you get cheap and nasty in return.nnIf you are on an extreme budget it’s better than sleeping in the street… but only by a little bit.

9.0 Awesome layout in heart of Korea - Ulises 07-07-2023

5.6 Dirty room but value for money - Jessica 02-04-2025

Review: The room doesn’t look like it was cleaned at all. There was hair and trash from previous guests. Also, the room was full on dust. Would not recommend unless you’re on a tight budget.

1.0 Worst hostel I’ve ever been to - Deborah 09-03-2023

Negative points: BEWARE. THERE ARE ROACHES SLEEPING WITH YOU!!! This hostel is filthy and the owner of this place is just as filthy. I noticed two LARGE roaches during my stay. One in the bathroom and one in the bedroom that I unknowingly suspected was sleeping with me. I go to take a shower at 8pm. I scream. I spray the roach until it meets its watery grave down the drain. I go to sleep and wake up at 3am in the morning to use the restroom. I scream again. There was another roach dying by my bedside (I was hoping I didn’t accidentally step on it causing it to flip upside down). These roaches like to play dead to I watched it and looked all around the room for other roaches. I did not sleep. I contacted booking.com where I booked for the hostel at night and they couldn’t reach out to the owner. I reach out to the owner and explain the situation. He tells me send my banking information and he will refund me my last night because I didn’t want to stay. He lied to me. To make matters worse, he had no problem finding another customer to take my room when I decided to leave early. He basically pocketed and stole my money like a thief. This place is not clean. Do yourself a favor and avoid this hostel at all costs.
