It's always really nice and warm when I stay here. This is my third time coming to Seoul, and I have always stayed here. Even the staff changes, but the room the surrounding, the hospitality are always perfect.

This hostel is very underrated. I can't quite comprehend how it's rating is 7/10 on many booking sites. For the price that I paid (about £7.80) per night, the value was exceptional. The entire place was organised efficiently whilst maintaining a volunteer based friendly atmosphere. They have volunteers from Germany, the U.S. and South Africa and this makes for a fun environment. I unfortunately only snapped one picture as I was leaving, however, there is a very spacious upstairs too with lots of common space as well as an outside area. The location is great and there is a kitchen with a stove, microwave and hot water dispenser. Towels are included, as are bathroom soaps and shampoo. Would recommend 110% if the price is right.

I like the private room I stayed and loved the location of the hostel. The staff were very helpful. The only thing is that some of the other lodgers were not very respectful of the other people including the staff. They were loud at night and were not following the hostel rules.

If you like bed bugs then this is your place! When I first arrived I was given a bed in a dorm that was okay. The next day the woman in the other bunk was covered in bed bug bites. Then the staff removed my stuff without me knowing so that they could replace the mattress. The next day they “disinfected” the room. That smell made everyone so nauseous, but it went away after 3 days. Well two days later and I’m now covered in bed bug bites. Not to mention the staff didn’t only just remove my stuff without consent, they don’t clean ever, the owner is very passive aggressive, and the other staff members were quite inappropriate to many guest. The only good thing is the price

We were never greeted by the host, the shared space had an odd smell, and the bed frame fell apart when I sat in bed. There was paper in the sink and the bathroom was unisex with only a shower curtain to separate.

Staff was suppose to put my clothes in the dryer but did not do so my clothes was left soaking in the wet which may damage my clothes. And i have to go to the laundry shop to get it dry. I was also late for my appointment because of this. They didnt do much to make up for their mistake but just apologize for it.

This was the most amazing place I stayed at during my two weeks in Seoul! I was so sad to leave the hostel as the manager was so friendly and inviting to myself and my friends :) She even took my friend and I to a cultural event on my last day of staying at the hostel. I wished I had stayed here during my whole stay in Seoul. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Seoul.
