10.0 非常推荐 - LIGE 26-04-2025

Review: 我一个人住特别舒适,房间很干净,有淡淡的香芬味,有洗烘塔可以随时洗净衣物,地理位置也很棒,坐6002机场大巴很方便,出门走两步就是地铁公交站、便利店。见过一次工作人员,很亲切热心。周末楼下会有当地人开店摆摊,能更加体验融入到当地居民生活(中间点了一次外卖,定位定错到对面,幸亏房间有阳台,跑到阳台从楼上给外卖员打招呼哈哈哈)下次还会考虑来这边入住的:D

9.0 Nice comfortable stay in great location! - India 05-05-2025

Positive points: Really comfortable bed and great shower! Nice water pressure and hot water. Small room but handy! Safe and secure building and nice location next to the market.

8.0 Very good - Angélica 14-04-2025

Positive points: Pretty small rooms and the entrance is kind of sketchy, but the relation quality price was ok

9.2 Workout hostel - Samantha 08-04-2025

Review: It is studio I feel that is enough for one person. That is no lift so you should take this into consideration if your room is at fifth floor so that everyday you have to climb staircase from 1-5. Luckily I have light luggage and stay at 3rd floor so it is still ok for me. Location is good, nearby station and Sunday have a local market which you can find a cheaper stuff.

10.0 Convenient stay that is worth every penny - Steffi 03-04-2025

Positive points: For one person, this stay is a good size and very clean and comfortable. Having my own washing machine was the best part. It was also great value for what I paid. Thankfully, I was in the 2nd floor. Mr. Park is a great host and was very nice to me whenever I saw him. Property is also very close to a subway station and major bus stop.

Negative points: I'm sure it's not as fun if you live on the 5th floor, but can't say because it was not my experience. The alley that the place is in is a bit dark but the neighborhood is safe.

10.0 Clean and quiet - YURI 02-04-2025

Review: Clean and quiet, Very convenient location for subway and shopping areas.

9.0 Clean and comfortable, slept better than in my house. - Luis 31-03-2025

Positive points: The only issue was carrying my bags all the way to the 5th floor. But everything else was great and convenient.

10.0 I had a really great stay since the room and bed were very comfortable and quiet. I love my room! - MJ 04-03-2025

Positive points: 1. The place is near the Dongmyo subway station, and few minutes away from bus stops, and airport bus stop.rn2. There is a code-locked luggage room in the 2nd floor.rn3. If you are introvert, there are only minimal interactions since all the codes are provided prior to your visit. But the three hotel staff I interacted with (I'm not sure if the ahjussi was the owner) were all nice, though not very well versed in English.rn4. The individual room I availed has complete facilities: washing machine, refrigerator, microwave, drawers, stand cabinets, air conditioner, desk table, mirror, and fast Wi-Fi connection.rn5. Complete toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, slippers, towels, tissues, and toothbrush and toothpaste.rn6. The bed is very comfortable with one pillow and warm comforter (my favorite!!) rn7. There is a pantry with refillable water and faucet.rn8. There is a window with good ventilation.rn9. The place is really clean and quiet!!

Negative points: 1. My only problem is the faucet in the bathroom which is not stable if it's going to be hot or cold, or super hot or cold. rn2. There is no daily cleaning of housekeeper in my room--but I'm not sure maybe this can be requested it's not automatic. But I'm also okay with it since the place is already clean as long as you keep it clean. rn3. The bathroom is quite small since the toilet is combined with the shower already--but overall it's fine. rn4. The hostel is quite inside an alley, not along the main road. It can get quite sketchy late at night, but it's tolerable.rn5. Although the place is overall quiet, I could still hear the people talking or watching something next to my room, but it's not loud and it's tolerable. Just saying that the room is not 100% soundproof.rn6. I hope I had an extra pillow, hehe.

10.0 Exceptional - Melvin 20-06-2025

Review: Địa điểm của nhà khách nằm chỉ cách ga Dongmyo một quãng đi bộ rất ngắn, điều này làm cho nó rất dễ tiếp cận và thuận tiện. Phòng ở sạch sẽ, các tiện nghi được cung cấp đầy đủ. Bạn có thể nấu ăn và giặt giũ vì có máy giặt và bếp. Chúng tôi chắc chắn sẽ quay lại trong lần lưu trú tiếp theo tại Seoul.

9.0 I'd like to come back there for my next Seoul trip. - Miki 03-03-2025

Positive points: It's close to the station. The host gave me a great instruction of how to get there and how to check-in and check-out very clearly. He even helped me for the luggage...very nice man.

Negative points: It was clean mattress cover and blanket, so I have no complain, but I was hoping they used sheets. I love to sleep in between crisp sheets...however, it's not a 5-star hotel, so I totally understand.

10.0 Thật đẹp mắt - AULIA 17-06-2025

Review: Phòng ký túc xá đủ thoải mái cho 2 người. Phòng có tủ lạnh và máy sấy tóc. Khu bếp có máy pha cà phê, bếp nấu, máy giặt và máy sấy. Cách nhà ga Dongmyo 3 phút. Khách hàng hài lòng ở đây.

8.0 this is very good and clean - maria 01-02-2025

Positive points: cleanliness and easy to find

Negative points: big

9.0 Excellent - Chepurnov 10-01-2025

Positive points: Nice location not far from the majority of touristic places. The metro station is just 1 minute away. In general it is a good value for the money.

Negative points: The room was really small so it wasn't possible to open my suitcase (relatively big) fully. I wasn't able to regulate the heating system for the room.
