The room is clean but is quite small when you want to pack your luggage. The staff is excellent, helpful and honest. I thought my purse was missing and felt nervous, sad because all the travel expenses was inside. After I went out around 10minuutes, the staff called and informed me that the purse was in the other room, I felt so warm and glad that the staff is so honest to do so, because there is around 533000won inside.

Love this hostel
A little hard to find initially, but the hostel gave clear maps and directions. Convenient to get there by airport bus. Love the cleanliness of the room. Only issue we had was with the door lock which was hard to use (had to pull down on the handle to take out the key after locking). Would prefer passcode lock for the room doors.

Pleasant stay in Seoul
The hostel is very near to subway and you dont need to walk far. The hostel staff is super friendly and they offering free laundry service. The room is equipped with electronic stove and sink. The only drawback was we stay in another building which is one block away from the hostel lobby. That building has no elevator, therefore we need to climb up to our floor. Anyway, they will send a handsome oppa to carry your luggage down when you want to check out.

Nice and cozy, feels like home.
Finding the hostel location was a bit of challenge because of some confusing landmark. Nevertheless, the neighborhood was very friendly and readily extended their assistant in guiding the way. The hostel is very cozy and welcomingly decorated. The staffs are very friendly and warmth. We booked the 3beds suite, the studio room has pleasing ambiance, cozy, clean and sufficient utilities. It was a nice break and wonderful experience in Seoul!!
