Clean, friendly and welcoming place
I was nicely surprised at this clean well-managed hostel in a convenient location. The owner manager is friendly and seems responsible. The free morning coffee in the communal kitchen was really good for me especially after party night out.
Location is good. It is just a walk from underground station. Staff and atmosphere are also good at lobby.
Aircon is nearly broken but working, room is small but acceptable for price. Room is tried to be cleaned but I found a small insect there.

would like to thanks Elif and Nathalie for their advice to discover the city and their introduction to the Korean culture. My stay was pleasant and I couldn't expect better for this Price.
The proximity with the metro is perfect. the restaurant around are nice and cheap.
I have stayed here before, I will stay again. Basic accommodations at a reasonable price with friendly and accommodating staff. You can't ask for more.

용산역에서 가깝고 갖출것 다 갖춘 깔끔함에 만족스러운 가격
용산역에서 가까워서 일단 좋았습니다.
코앞은 아니지만 걸어가기에 괜찮은 한정거장 거리였구요
싼 가격에 화장실이 딸린 개인실이어서 잠도 정말 잘 잤습니다.

the location is good!! near subway station
Location of this hostel is GOOD!!
It's near subway station (walk around 5min from station) , easy to access
if you have luggage, i recommend you to use exit 1, there's elevator.
if you use elevator turn right and go straight (woori bank on your right)
when u see T-junction turn right if you see T-junction (there's GS25 convenience store) again turn left.
and straight ahead until you see hotel label on the right side then turn right you'll find the hostel.
the hostel is small and a little old but the room is clean and not smelly.
the towel is small, seem like hair towel....
I'm ok with it and might booking again if i go to seoul :)
We like the hostel a lot! Customer service is really nice. We would like to give a big thanks to Joy who take good care of us in the first day of our check-in. And all the staff are very friendly just like our friends that we can chat and play together for different cultural interaction. The hostel and room are tidy and well designed giving us a home feelings. We also use the user friendly kitchen for cooking our breakfast and dinner that is such a remarkable experience. We highly recommend such a high quality hostel!
1. Lots of mosquito are dead on the wall with blood disgusting!
2. Beds are not beds. Like stones not comfortable
3. Bathroom, washing basin is terrible. Dirty water drop straight to floor also yakky smell is coming up.
4. If fire is up, no exit. Everybody will be dead. Window is blocked by steel bar and just one access to downstairs. So dangerous.
5. Environment beside building is no good as well. Messy spoooky
