It's a small room. Ivery warm. I sleeping well. The public space also has a microwave oven and a drinking fountain. It's also close to the metro station. I like it. I’ll choose this place again next time I go to Seoul.
Bathrooms have no ventilation ducts, sometimes smell when the door is closed, and the temperature of hot and cold water is difficult to control

Very close to Cheonggu station exit 1, which makes it very convenient to get around Seoul. The place is well-kept and tidy, aside from things like scuffs on the wall, which aren't important. I stayed in a private room, and it was very comfortable and had everything I needed. The private bathroom was great, the shower was super-clean. It felt amazing to come back to a cozy place to stretch out and put my feet up after a long day of walking around. Really appreciated the water purifier in the kitchen, was great to fill up my bottle with cold water before heading out into the sweltering heat for the day.
The lounge area is small and often full, so I didn't spend any time there. The private room's door to the bedroom area was SO hard to open once closed, probably because of the wood and paint swelling due to the heat. I left it open while I was staying.

The dorm was pretty nice and the beds are comfortable. In the kitchen you can find anything you need for preparing something. I like the free water. Staff was friendly. Will come back again.
Unfortunately there was only one bathroom with shower and toilet.

If I am to visit Seoul ever again, I will definitely choose this place! This place has a bunch of perks, but I would like to emphasize these especially: 1) friendly and very helpful staff (thank you so much for helping me out with the luggage!) The staff speaks Korean, English, Chinese so you shouldn't have any problems communicating. Also, I had a problem with my suitcase (it was broken). The staff not only helped me to take it to my room and take it down on my checkout day BUT!! they wanted to give me a spare one (left my guests). 2) nutritious breakfast (an egg, a toast with jam or peanut butter, ramen, milk or juice, coffee, tea) 3) a clean and comfortable room and a nice bathroom White sheets and an everyday cleaning. Really appreciated the curtains that each bed has (gives some privacy). Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

The staff was really amazing , helped me a lot I lost my card and I was waiting 2 letters from my country , and the hostel received it when I was not in the hostel but the staff was really reactive and put the letters where I can find it . A really good communication also , thank you so much for this ! Also you can use a kitchen and eat in the hostel that’s really rare to have a open space like this I loved it , also the dorts was really comfy with a lot of space for your luggage and everything , some mirror etc , girly mood . Was pretty cool
Just need to clean more the common space , and empty the trash . Also in the kitchen .

It has everything to fulfil any traveler needs. Train Station is 1 minute. Rooms have air conditioning system. They provide you with towel, toothbrush and they borrow a charger for you phone.
It is a little bit far from one of the main points of Seoul. The shower’ curtains have a lot of fungus. They should be replaced. There is not much help at check-in, just a screen. So foreigners can get easily confused while trying to register. There is not a clear explanation of how to arrive at the property; me and other people who I talked to try to enter from the main road, which is not the hotel!

Although the common area is a bit messy, but I like the cleanliness and privacy in my room. My room (with private bathroom) is a perfect choice for solo traveller.It is smaller than I expected but since I spent most of my time outside,I do feel satisfy with this room
Towel is too small.maybe need to mention it is a face/good morning towel type.

Clean and comfortable stay in a nice neighborhood. Close access to all major attractions. Friendly staff will do your laundry for only 5000 won which is cheap in an expensive city like Seoul. I like the breakfast with ramen and egg provided.
It's not the hostel fault but inconsiderate foreign guests chatting loudly at 2am.

Clean, close to the metro station (2 min walk), quiet neighborhood, simple but good breakfast (boiled egg, noodles, bread, butter/peanut butter/jam), nice place to sit in the lobby, spacious shower.
The shared room was very small but there was usually place to sit in the lobby.

Bed was clean and comfy enough. I made friends at the hoste. The wifi speed in the dormitory is super fast ! The place is good: mrt is really near there’s plenty restaurant around.
the dormitory is at the basement (but I didn’t see it’s advertised on Booking.com) there’s only one shower+toilet for the all dormitory.
