8.4 Worth the money but - Jeffrey 22-06-2025

Review: I enjoyed my stay here! The room was clean. Was woken up someone packing their suitcase inside the room. But it was a good place to stay for a couple of nights and felt safe. My issues were with the toilets being on another floor and a communal drain for shower water which was very disgusting. The toilets being extremely small and swinging open inwards wasn't amazing at all. And my shower door lock did not work hence it led to someone pushing open my room and I had to keep a hand on the door at all times. There was also no hanger for the clothes in the shower and had to throw it over the door making it dirty. Worth the money but the toilets need a lot of work. And maybe its a South Korean thing but the staff weren't friendly like how customer service is in Australia. But were willing to store my luggage before checkin and after check out .

6.0 I enjoyed the stay, but the place is good for travelers who value affordability over comfort. - Irina 12-06-2025

Positive points: The staff was very friendly, the location is perfect - right near the station. Very comfortable to go to and from the airport. Affordable price.

Negative points: Toilet on the second floor is so narrow it is difficult to get to the sink to wash your hands, you have to move sideways. The shower room spaces are also extremely narrow and not always clean.

8.0 Accessible Accommodation - Alyssa 12-06-2025

Review: This place is located 2 mins. away from Myeongdong Station Line 4, which makes it very convenient in exploring Seoul. It is located close to the Myeongdong Shopping Street which makes it very ideal for people who come yo Seoul for a shopping spree. Overall, it’s recommended for solo female travelers who will just make a short trip to Seoul.

9.0 My go-to place in Seoul - Ann 09-06-2025

Positive points: I can’t even remember how many times I’ve stayed here but every time I’m in Seoul, I know that this is the best place to stay in terms of location, price and security. This is located in the ‘peaceful’ side of Myeongdong. The hostel is also very near the subway and the airport limousine bus stop.. and when I say near, it’s like literally 20 steps away from Exit 4. I’ve also seen how they improved their facilities and I’m happy to see the new bathroom tiles.

10.0 Worth it - Joanna 07-06-2025

Review: The accomodation is in a very good location. I love how they clean the place everyday. It’s nice too that they have a simple brekky with water dispensing hot and cold ❤️ Recommend this place for a budget accomodation! 🥰

8.0 I had such a great time and will come back again soon! - Sarah 22-04-2025

4.0 Not my cup of tea - Angelique 15-05-2025

Review: I personally didn’t like the hostel. The AC wasn’t working properly and with 4 people in the room without a window, it was too hot during the night. nnOnly 3 showers for 2 floors of people. Barely any toilets, and some of them were dirty with shit… nnI wanted to check out and get a refund and waited 10 minutes but the receptionist wasn’t there. nnI wouldn’t personally say it’s my cup of tea, but it’s very nicely located right next to Myeong-dong street.

10.0 Exceptional - Maria 07-04-2025

Positive points: I was amazed how considerate the guests are. The place was just what I needed for a day or 2 before my long flight back home. The stations are very close including the airport buses

10.0 特别特别好的住宿 - YIHUI 15-05-2025

Review: 位置巨佳!出门2分钟到地铁站。床也蛮大的,环境也很干净~

9.0 Best hostel for solo female travelers. - Ann 27-03-2025

Positive points: I've been staying here since 2019 and I've seen how the hostel has improved its facilities. The shower rooms were renovated and they look bright, clean and new, the rooms were cleaned every day and the breakfast is simple but it's exactly what you need to start the day. The sad thing though is that they replaced their old heavy duty dryer for clothes to a new one. I liked the old one more because it completely dries your clothes, unlike the new one that you need to hang the clothes to dry completely.. or maybe I was using it wrong.. other than that, this hostel is my go-to place when going to Seoul.

Negative points: Nothing :)

10.0 Nice location, clean hotel - Elaine 05-05-2025

3.2 Worst hostel for your money - Prisca 18-04-2025

Review: Very disappointed. The pictures are a complete misrepresentation of what this hostel really is.nIt’s not clean, the rooms are tiny with no windows, the toilets are dirty, and there’s no space to relax.nBreakfast is just dry bread.nThe only good thing is the location near the metro.nI would have cancelled the rest of the stay, but it’s non-refundable.nWould never come back — definitely don’t recommend.

6.0 Quick and short stay. - Shayna 25-01-2025

Positive points: The location was perfect in regards to the myeongdong shopping area. Love that there were lockers to put suitcases or anything else you wanted locked away and not just floating around the room. The bed area was very clean. Staff was friendly. If you need a quick place to stay for a day or two it’s okay.

Negative points: The bathrooms weren’t the cleanest at times during the day. I understand it’s because of the other guests but made it a little uncomfortable to use the facilities at times.
