My second time staying here. I like the fact that it's close to both subway lines and the airport bus stop is right at the main road. Walking distance to Myoengdong and Insadong. Two 7-eleven down the building. There's Olive Young and Daiso nearby, within less than 5 mins walk. Easy to find food, both fancy restaurant and local restaurant with self service ordering kiosk.

Not an issue for me but just be aware that there's not much space for large luggage to pack and unpacking during the stay. Recommend to travel with medium size bag.

The property is located among the 3 metros station which Jongno 3(sam)ga station is a junction of 2 metro lines so you can easily travel anyway with 4 metro lines. There are many food place around the property and many of them are open until the late of the night, many loval restaurants, pubs and bars are in the same area so there are some nightlight along the way you walk back to the hostel. There are 4 convenient stores nearby (7-11, G25, Ministop and CU) not too big but still have most of the stuffs you might needs. The staffs are nice, very friendly and have good response. For those who have the large luggage please note that there is no locker specifically for the luggage so if you don’t want to use you luggage as a moving wardrobe then you need to prepare well. The breakfast is suitable for those who might need a quick and easy breakfast before going out. Overall I really satisfied with this stay and surely come again next time!

The cabin is not soundproofed so even the little noise can be heard, for those who sensitive for the sound or the light sleepers might not found it easy to stay. As my stay is in the time that there ate not too many people in the room so this is not disturb me that much. The restrooms and shower rooms are in another zone of the floor so you have to walk pass the common area.

- Location is very central and near multiple metro stations. - Bed is big enough and has some hooks for clothes and a mirror. - Bathroom has everything you need, from free towels to a big shower with shower gel and shampoo to multiple hair dryers. - Breakfast is included: simple self-service breakfast. - Cold and hot water tap, microwave and fridge are available. - Value-for-money ratio was very good.

Some minor inconveniences: - Bathroom doors don’t close automatically, which often caused a lack of privacy in the bathroom because basically no one closed the doors themselves. - Lockers aren’t big enough for bags so all the bags are in the hallway, which isn’t very convenient when you or someone else needs something from your/their bag. - Staff isn’t always around.

For a hostel, overall this is above average in Seoul, it feels quite new. What I liked most is the proximity to the Jonggak station, only a few minutes walk. You can also walk to Insadong, Myeongdeong, Euljiro, Anguk etc. Plenty of food options in the area, very vibrant and alive at night and weekends. There is a common area for dining and sitting around. The female bathroom is very spacious, well-equipped and cleaned regularly; I particularly liked that fresh towels are provided daily. The daily breakfast is very good for a hostel - bread/toast, jam, butter, sliced ham, baked egg, orange juice, milk, coffee/tea; per person. If you are bored you can always get something to eat from 7E/GS25/etc nearby. A locker is provided for each person. Luggage have to be kept outside the room though, but this is common practice in hostels in Seoul due to limited space. Staff members are kind and helpful. WiFi worked well.

Nothing in particular, but if I had to nitpick it is the temperature in the room - it can get quite warm at night if your cube is far from the aircon.

Very nice facilities in the common area and a comfortable bed with curtains for privacy.

The hostel can be difficult to find since it isn’t located on the ground floor and there are not many signs. Most of the time there is no staff at the hostel (self service) but I guess you can contact them via phone/email if needed. There isn’t much space for larger suitcases, backpacks etc. but a small locker is provided for your valuables.

The best hostel experience I’ve had. Self check in is easy. The bathrooms are clean, often available to use, and provide towels / toiletries / hair dryer. Breakfast is simple but good! The best thing is the “room” itself, so much privacy, a light, charging ports, mirror, shelf, clothes hook, and some space by the bed for my stuff. It was like being in a small hotel room rather than a hostel. The rooms are nice and quiet at night, everyone is very respectful, a good nights sleep. Not the most social, which is absolutely fine by me, but might not be everyones cup of tea.

The locker situation wasn’t ideal. The locker fit my standard hand luggage size (55 x 36 x 23) suitcase perfectly, with a bit of room for my shoes and some shopping bits on top. But most peoples suitcases were left out in the hallway as they don’t fit in the locker, so when u want to get anything out of your locker or suitcase or just walk down the hall it is a bit of a mission. Also, providing more tours, information and recommendations in Seoul would be better

Located right next to the metro and most of the tourists attractions, I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. The reception is located on the same floor as the girl dormitory. The women dormitory and the men aren't on the same floor. Even if the dormitory is quite big, it was not too noisy. I really enjoyed the fact that there was two bathrooms with six showers in total and six toilets. The staff was really friendly and welcoming.

You have to leave your luggage in the corridor and when there the dormitory is full, it's quite difficult to move around.

The cleanliness of the hostel and put inside the room. Shoes are also not allowed inside the room or when walking around. Very organised and spacious in the room. The hostel is quite safe to place luggage in the common area.

There is no staff member managing the front desk; all communication is through chat, and instructions are sent early with notes. The staff only see them when they clean up the room, or have breakfast or a snack in the common area with their staff uniform on. Some people walk around the toilet and the room without their shoes always, and a few of the staff did not say anything, even though there was a sign on the wall saying " no shoes allowed, Lastly, the pillow was a bit too soft.

It’s my third time staying at this hostel, and I would definitely come back for a fourth! The location is extremely convenient and the hostel itself is truly made to make your stay the most pleasant possible. The rules are clearly written in a lot of different places, making it very easy to know what you can and cannot do. And the cubes are surprisingly very comfortable! So an amazing stay, once again :)

The only place you can put your luggage that doesn’t fit into the locker is the hallway (alongside all the other suitcases), so when you arrive on a week-end like we did, chances are that it might get a little crowded… but I’ve honestly never had any issues with my things being touched or stealing of any kind, so you should be fine.
