Everything was great- the bed, cleanliness, staffs, and location. They were able to store my luggage since I arrived in the morning and I went out for lunch and explored. They called and let me check-in as soon as my room was available so that was much appreciated. English speaking staff available. The environment was peaceful without huge crowds of guests.

The location of the hostel was super convenient, making it easy to get around. I really appreciated that there was an elevator, especially with heavy luggage. They even offer free ramen in the basement level B2! good facility. It seemed like this place newly opened, everything felt fresh and the design was really stylish—I loved the overall vibe. I’d definitely stay here again!

I had a perfect stay! Cozy hostel with extremely friendly and helpful staff just 1 - 2 min walk from Dongdaemun metro station. The soundproofing and bathroom drainage are the only minor problems I found. I didn’t take any photos of the hostel—just a photo of the air conditioner remote. lol.

    It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

    Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.

    This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
