6.0 Safety Concerns - Tora 02-05-2025

Positive points: Convenient Neighborhood with lots of food and coffee shops near by.

Negative points: Our room had a small door that opened directly to the hotel’s reception area, and it couldn't fully close because wires were running through it. This made us feel very uncomfortable, as it left the room exposed and insecure.nIn terms of comfort, the beds were essentially just box springs not a standard mattresses

9.0 Great location. Good value. - Jon 27-02-2025

Positive points: Very good location to major places and good value..

Negative points: Nothing..

6.4 A good space but a lot to improve - JONATHAN 22-04-2025

Review: Checkin was smooth. No elevator. Room is only good with 2 big luggage. I was not allowed to use a/c--can only be used June onwards. No proper ventilation was the result. Bathroom space is okay. Bring your own towel. Free water and coffee.

7.0 Very good - Dulguun 15-12-2024

10.0 Exceptional - Anton 04-11-2024

Positive points: The staff was very friendly and the location of the hostel is very good as it is close to 2 metro stations 애오개역 and 공덕역. My room was clean and overall the hostel seems to take cleanliness very seriously.

8.8 Good value - Jon 01-03-2025

Review: Nothing fancy, but value & convenient location sums up a winner.

8.0 Good value for money. - Gábor 03-09-2024

Positive points: It is near the subway station, the rooms are clean and well equipped. There was a water filtering machine (since tap water is not potable in Korea). The apartment was clean.

Negative points: The immediate neighbourhood is not very nice, and it is not easy to find the place since there are no street signs and nothing is written on the back door that leads to the apartment. You must touch the keypad to illuminate the numbers and enter the pin - it took a while to find it out. There is actually no staff, everything is automatic. However, it would have been nice to find somebody there who can help calling a taxi. There is a strange opening on the wall of the kitchen (covered by a curtain) that leads to other rooms via a ladder. We were afraid that someone comes in there and steals our belongings. (However, Korea seems to be a very safe place.)

8.0 Comfortable quiet and good sized rooms with twin beds in one and a double in another. - Robert 14-06-2024

Positive points: Friend and I had a room each with kitchen and bathroom in between at the back of the hostel. We had our own secure entrance close to restaurants, transport and subways etc. This was much more secure and comfortable than the main hostel.

Negative points: Nothing to mention

5.2 Dirty room and the hot water is not stable - Như 20-01-2025

Review: The room was not clean to an acceptable standard.nThe hot water system was inconsistent. It started hot but quickly turned cold and can not back to hot again so its terrible for winter

8.0 good value stay - Emily 10-07-2022

Positive points: Owner was helpful and friendly. There was also filtered water available onsite and ramen available for purchase. Bathroom was huge.

Negative points: bed was pretty springy, but not terribly uncomfortable.

8.8 Worth the money - Rory 26-12-2024

Review: Great little place, very cheap and a decent location. In the winter time it's very cold however, heating isn't great. Spring/summer/autumn should be much more tolerable
