Review: I avail the 4 person female dorm for June 7-13 (6 nights). And sad to say, I was unlucky with my room mates. Their things are all over the rooms. Trashbin inside the room and in the bathroom were overflowing!! In my opinion, I think they were not letting the staff in to clean the mess. In my 3rd night, our bathroom was clogged drainage already and the smell of the room is not that good anymore because of the trashs in trashbin. I had super early checked out in the next day because I cannot take it anymore. I did not stay until my check out date.nnLockers are inside the room but no padlock. Location is good, staffs are nice. But if you get bad luck with your room mates, it will not be worth it. Even you pay cheaper, it will not be worth it.

1.0 Satisfactory, only for a short stay. - Aamir.Khan 14-06-2025

Positive points: The location is near a metro station and some restaurants.rnThe bed and pillow are quite comfortable and soft.rnThe air conditioning in the room is good and can be adjusted according to your needs.rnThe drinking water is also available for the guests.

Negative points: The toilet is very dirty, and I didn't see anyone cleaning it during my whole stay.rnThe socket plug near my bed is weirdly placed, and it couldn't hold/plug a universal socket.rnNo designated socializing area (or common space) for the guests.

6.8 Decent and expected - Maxim 16-06-2025

Review: Front desk staff were a little unhelpful in finding laundry but not the end of the world, not much of a common area but clean and orderly

6.0 You get what you pay for - Woncheol 24-04-2025

Positive points: - Great location with two subway stations very close by.n- Plenty of convenience stores, cafes, restaurants and anything you might need in walkable distance.n- Free water dispenser was a life saver.n- Very nice staff.n- Spacious room and bathroom.

Negative points: I don't wanna complain too much about anything because this hostel was the cheapest option in a great location. nnHowever, the blanket on the bed had some stains, as well as the towel looked very sad being partly torn and with stains... nnAnd the walls had dark spots in the corners that seemed like mold... nnWould I still book this hostel again? Probably yes for the price and the room was pretty big for a single room.

7.2 no elevator - lessi 15-06-2025

Review: The hotel is quite close to the station, but be aware that it does not have an elevator. It is located on the 3rd and 4th floors, so if you’re traveling with heavy luggage, you might have some difficulty carrying it up

10.0 Most affordable and cleanest hostel in Seoul. - Jeffrey 19-04-2025

Positive points: Most affordable and cleanest hostel in Seoul.

8.4 Very clean - Dimas 09-06-2025

Review: Kamar mandi ada di dalem ruangan, bersih banget. Cuma sayang ada bercak sedikit lembab do pojok atas dinding atap.

2.0 Moldy - Anton 10-04-2025

Positive points: Pretty cheap and good location. They say you get what you pay for, but I don't remember paying for a room full of black mold with virtually no air circulation. At least my roommates were funny.

10.0 I will definitely stay here again - Yôdå 02-06-2025

Review: Great staff, great location and very clean and tidy and quiet and safe for everyone!

9.0 Excellent - Nina 24-03-2025

Positive points: The hostel is located close to the subway station, but a bit far from the main attractions. The room and bathroom were clean. The staff is very nice, you can leave your luggage after check out.

Negative points: It would be useful to have curtains by the bed. There is a motion sensor light in the room, so every time someone came inside, I was woken up.

8.4 good - YURUI 24-04-2025

Review: Because i booked a single room, it's generally very good and convenient.

4.0 Acceptable - Hasanova 14-03-2025

Positive points: Location

Negative points: Noise and shaky bad

6.4 Worth the price - jean 21-04-2025

Review: Considering the low price, there’s really nothing much to complain about. They don’t provide slippers, and since most hostels in Korea require you to take your shoes off indoors, first-time visitors should keep that in mind. They have quite a few staff members and many rooms. You’ll need to show your passport to check in — it feels more like a proper hotel with a formal process.nnBathrooms are inside each room. there are no public restrooms. After you check out, you’ll have to use the restroom at the subway station (just FYI).nnAs for common areas — There’s just an old table and a worn-out sofa in the hallway. The narrow and messy kitchen can fit about three people.

7.0 Good, but I'll not coming back to stay here again. - Fifeine 13-03-2025

Positive points: Nearby the subway exit. But it's quite far from the city centre. Even if you want to go to Gangnam tourist area, you need to take the subway (again).

Negative points: - No elevator/lift available. You will need to take the stairs to 3rd floor to reach the reception. And then you need to take another stairs to get to your room if you get the 4th floor rooms. n- The kitchen is quite dirty. Inside the microwave is dirty. No kitchen utensils, even for spoons, forks, chopsticks, plates, and glasses. n- The provided towels is a hand towel, so you might want to bring a bigger towel for showering.
