8.0 Very good - Verenice 27-04-2025

Positive points: I liked that it was a clean and tidy environment.

Negative points: The space of the bathroom stalls were too small and low ventilation throughout the facility.

10.0 Such comfortable beds for the price! Incredible location - Jessica 25-05-2025

10.0 Pearl encrusted in a diamond - Emmanuel 20-03-2025

Positive points: I dare to say this is the best hostel you will find while staying in Seoul.nStaff is super friendly and reasonable (the guy in particular. girl is just ok) I even feel they should get paid more (whatever they’re paid).nYou can literally smell the clean bedsheets which is important if you like cleanliness.nAt first I thought location wasn’t too good, but then found out it’s probably one of the best.nThey have kitchen, laundry room, dinner table, fridge, everything super practical for almost all your needs that I don’t know how they manage to cover all of that with such small prices.

Negative points: Can’t think of one bad thing, seriously. Unless you have bad luck and someone stays at the same room you’re at, but that’s not something that can be controlled by the hostel

10.0 Exceptional - Ronja 01-02-2025

Positive points: Got sent all the details for the self-check in on the day I arrived. Really easy process and no questions left unanswered. The communal space is nice and really allows for meeting people and nice chats. Water filter machine with hot water, which was a blessing in this cold winter weather. Showers are hot with body wash, shampoo and conditioner provided. Hair dryers were strong! Bathrooms always clean and stocked with plenty of toilet paper and soap. Also enough stalls to never have to wait to go. Boys ans girls bathrooms and dorms are seperate, dorms even need a code to get in. Beds were comfortable with privacy curtains and power outlets. Lots of hangers provided. I love that you take your shoes off at the front as to help keep the space cleaner. Especially with the snow I imagine it would have been a right mess otherwise. They provide you with slippers to wear inside. Trash was seperated and taken out daily. nLocation is excellent with so many cafés, shops and restaurants just outside the hostel door, palaces and other neighborhoods in easy walking distance. Subway and bus stop 1min walk, direct 1h bus to the airport (the 6011) 12min walk away.

Negative points: Just one tiny minor thing. There was a really thin wooden plate attached to the bunk bed in order to shield the head part of the bed from light and provide privacy - which I liked. Yet this part was not attached at all the metal framing of the bed, so some places there was wiggle room. Which means that any time someone in the bed moved, the bed and with that the wooden board moved and created this noise of wood against metal. Not super loud, but enough to get annoying after some time. Might just have been the bed I was assigned to though. So did not let that affect my judgement of the hostel.

10.0 Really lovely time with people I met there. Just be respectful please. - Alan 15-01-2025

Positive points: Great price, location, and staff. Its really worth it if you are traveling with a group 4 people or under.

Negative points: The common area is nice but a few pillows can help people be more comfy.

9.0 4 nights in Séoul - Alex 07-01-2025

Positive points: The location was very good and the neighborhood very pleaseant and calm. It was very practical to have an entry for the subway across the street. The views of the streets under the snow were magical !

Negative points: The apartment size was very little (as written in the hotel's description), and we didn'nt anticipate that we could not open our luggages... however it is still very good for its price.
