8.8 Excellent - Leuhnnn 05-06-2025

Review: Very nice and accommodating staff! The location is great and chill. Just few minutes of walking and you'll reach ddp plaza and ddp market. Also close to the subway and bus stations. Although it would be quite a struggle if you're bringing big luggages as there is no elevator. But overall, we had a great time here!

8.0 Very good - Matilda 10-01-2025

Positive points: The staff was lovely, friendly and helpful. The room was cozy and clean with everything you could need provided, and the location was amazing, two minutes from the metro station and a short walk from many popular tourist attractions. A great budget find.

Negative points: The room was very hot, even when the heating was turned down all the way. One of the nights we stayed there it was -12 degrees Celsius, we left the window open all night and the room was still too hot! The beds were also hard but considering the price it was an amazing stay, great value.

9.0 A pleasant and convenient place to stay! - Yolanda 13-10-2024

Positive points: The space was a lot nicer than I expected and very clean! Staff were very nice, friendly, and ready to help! As a solo traveler, spatially, the room was comfortable for me to walk around as long as my luggage was closed and upright. I was quite lucky and was staying on the first floor so I did not have to encounter going up the stairs, but the stairs going downstairs to the cafeteria is a bit steep and there is no railing (something to keep in mind if you have difficulty with stairs). The power only turns on when the keycard is in the slot. If you plan on using the fridge or charge things, you will want to plan it around the time when you will be in the room. The outlets are a bit finicky when you use a bulky travel adapter and it doesn’t fit snug, but I as still able to somehow get it to work (just remember to look up what S. Korea outlet frames look like beforehand). Wifi in the room was good and I had no issues with it. The walls were not as thin as I expected and the only time I would hear the neighbouring room would be when someone suddenly shouts. I did hear the lobby music and walking outside through the room door, but it did not bother me at all. nnThere are a lot of places to visit nearby and is easy to go to by walking. There is also a convenience store on the same alley and a subway station just a bit further down which makes going to and from quite easy. Getting to and from can the airport is also very convenient! The airport limousine bus (6002) drop off spot is just across the street and the pick up location is just a 5 minute walk away from this location. nnIncluded breakfast is always a plus! It is not super fancy, but if you are a light breakfast eater, this gets the job done. nnOtherwise, I had no issues during my stay!

Negative points: Like the previous reviews said, there are a few stores on the alley is in is quite sketchy, but it is safe to walk down at night. Personally, it did not bother me much, but I know it can make some people uncomfortable.

8.4 Star Hostel Review ❤️ - Rizza 06-04-2025

Review: Love the accommodation if you're planning for a short period of stay, especially the simple breakfast they offer (which I would totally miss). I would recommend if they can have an elevator in the future especially if you have huge baggages or suitcase.

10.0 It’s cool. - AbbyR 20-08-2024
