Positive points: Everything, the people, the price, I met really good friends there.

6.0 This is a clean small bed to have in a very crowded area. Very affordable but common space EXTREMELY limited - Teresa 24-04-2025

Positive points: It is a clean place to stay

Negative points: The common area was a single table. For the number of people staying it is inadequate. The option is to either be in your bed or outside the hostel. I wish i understood this before.

4.8 Bad stay - Mylene 14-04-2025

Review: i stayed in 4 bed dormitory. the door lock was broken. one night a girl maybe drunk was locked out of the other room was banging the door so loud and violently at 4am in the morning. i could hear everything and kinda scary coz our room's door could not be locked. my whole stay in the dormitory was a mess. the 2 japanese girls were too loud talking with each other during night until dawn. i could not sleep well and felt very uncomfy. the lights were never turned off because they both are busy during the night until morning. very inconsiderate travellers

10.0 I will def stay here again - Noel 26-03-2025

Positive points: Jay at the check in made me feel welcome and understood. They let me borrow a lock for my locker. The space is very clean and the communal kitchen tends to tie everything together well. People are friendly and thoughtful.

8.0 It was a good value-for-money, single room accom in Gangnam. - Samuel 24-06-2024

Positive points: Good location in Gangnam area, reasonable price, near an airport bus stop, drinking water, refrigerator, washable or disposable utensils available, earplugs, good speed wifi, TV at single room

Negative points: The aircon in the single room was dripping drops of water. I no longer had time to raise it to the staff because I was too busy also going out anyway, but I could hear the drops while I was sleeping.

10.0 Great Place - The 04-01-2025

Review: It is a lovely hostel...nice staff and clean bed and bathroom. I stayed comfortablely for over a week.

8.0 Good place to stay for short stays - Nadia 17-06-2024

Positive points: Location was great and check in process was smooth. Overall the place was clean and it was easy to follow in and out throughout the day.

Negative points: We stayed on the 3rd floor and there is only one shower there so was a bit tough to shower during peak hours. An alternative was going up to the 4th floor to shower but seems a bit inconvenient. Also the beds were a bit old so staying on the top bunk is not ideal.
