The accommodations and staffing were beyond exceptional. We had booked this place after the recommendation of a friend who had stayed here last year and would easily recommend it to new any returning travelers. They are really good a accommodating your needs, and in our case we had a red eye flight and would check in around 0300 which was past their normal check in time but we had reached out and they had someone there to help us, which we were extremely grateful for. The location is unbelievable as you are next to the train station and bus stop which made it easily accessible. Not to mention that the food stalls that come out at night are only a few feet away from the front door, but not close enough that the sound would reach you. Easily would recommend and will definitely be returning in the future.

The common area may be a bit dated, but the room we stayed in was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place to families and friends.

Toilet smelly, asked not to dump toilet paper into toilet bowl which was not hygienic. Bathroom was small, watery floor after shower. No light switch at bed side. Bed was small and mattress not comfortable. No view for window, only a small gap in between buildings. The room was dark.

We Stayed for 3 nights but only slept 1 night. The Walls are simply paper thin, so we could literally hear neighbors talking, laughing or watching TV till 2-3 am. Only knocking on the walls would help. Please pay extra and stay somewhere else, the location is not worth it. Staff was super Nice though.

Honestly I had zero problems with my stay here - easy to find, the breakfast bar was awesome, clean rooms (no bedbugs), good view and the rooftop was certainly appreciated. Great shopping literally out the door and a convenience store directly underneath with friendly helpful staff. For sure recommended.

Room was a bit dusty on the side of the bed. It didn’t bother me that much but for a room this should be cleaned. Beside that service was a great and staff was friendly.

This is a great place to stay. Close to subway station Exit 5. Convent to take the Airport Limousine Bus back to Incheon airport, located close to Exit 9 of the subway. The reception area needs new carpet. Either it’s stained really bad or needs cleaning. My room was two twin beds with street and roof top views. The bed is the hardest bed I’ve ever sleep in. I asked for a mattress topper(duvet). It didn’t help so I went across the street and bought two yoga mats. Still was to hard for my hip joint. Staff is friendly. Has a breakfast buffet every day. They will store luggage if you get there too early.

If you're tight on money, this isn't a bad place to stay. However, if you aren't, I recommend staying somewhere nicer. The location of the hostel is actually quite nice because there are a lot of dining/shopping options and public transportation right near by. Although, I think the biggest problem with this hostel are the bathrooms inside of each room. They are very crammed, and when you shower, splashing water all over the place (e.g., onto the toilet) is inevitable. Also, the walls seem to be paper-thin; I could hear the person next door cough as if there wasn't a wall there. Lastly, don't let the photos of the breakfast on their website fool you - the actual breakfast did not look like that. One positive thing I will say is that the front desk person was very helpful and kind.

Generally speaking, this is a nice hostel. good location, 5 mins walk to Namdaemum, and 1 min walk to Myeongdong. Room size a little bit tight but this is in Myeongdong so acceptable. Staff good help and generally good english. but a very important remedy should be improved ~ the small slope just next to reception/concierge in 13th floor. My friends and I miss the slope several times and easy to fall over and get hurt. Suggestion ~ 1. to add very highlighted color such yellow, red tape or change colorful mat on the scope. 2. to have some electric kittle, iron etc small appliances for customers to borrow (of course hold more deposits. )
