The room is clean but is quite small when you want to pack your luggage. The staff is excellent, helpful and honest. I thought my purse was missing and felt nervous, sad because all the travel expenses was inside. After I went out around 10minuutes, the staff called and informed me that the purse was in the other room, I felt so warm and glad that the staff is so honest to do so, because there is around 533000won inside.

Love this hostel
A little hard to find initially, but the hostel gave clear maps and directions. Convenient to get there by airport bus. Love the cleanliness of the room. Only issue we had was with the door lock which was hard to use (had to pull down on the handle to take out the key after locking). Would prefer passcode lock for the room doors.

Pleasant stay in Seoul
The hostel is very near to subway and you dont need to walk far. The hostel staff is super friendly and they offering free laundry service. The room is equipped with electronic stove and sink. The only drawback was we stay in another building which is one block away from the hostel lobby. That building has no elevator, therefore we need to climb up to our floor. Anyway, they will send a handsome oppa to carry your luggage down when you want to check out.

Nice and cozy, feels like home.
Finding the hostel location was a bit of challenge because of some confusing landmark. Nevertheless, the neighborhood was very friendly and readily extended their assistant in guiding the way. The hostel is very cozy and welcomingly decorated. The staffs are very friendly and warmth. We booked the 3beds suite, the studio room has pleasing ambiance, cozy, clean and sufficient utilities. It was a nice break and wonderful experience in Seoul!!

9D8N Stay!
Overall I enjoyed my stay here :) Pros: - Near the subway station (ie. Dongmyo station). 5 mins walk to the station. - Staffs are friendly & approachable - You can use the kitchen to cook/prepare breakfast - The room is well maintained/clean (very satisfied with the cleanliness of the bathroom) Cons: - The towels provided were really small in size! So please bring your own towels. - Small room, not much space to move around - We stayed in the mini studio, its a separate building from the "common area" of the hostel. Our room was on the 4th floor, so imagine having to carry our luggage up without an elevator. However, the staff were really helpful as they helped us with our bags.

Great hostel that is near to train station
Even though the room was small, it was a very lovely hostel. The staff has great hospitality and my partner and I enjoyed our stay there. It's a great place to experience living in a hostel while having your own private amenities.

Convenient, clean and pretty hostel
Just like in the photos, the hostel was perfect. Since it's quite a new hotel, it was very clean and toiletries and new towels were provided everyday. There was a hairdryer too (very impt in my opinion). Was so glad for the aircon since it was hot outside. The staff were very helpful and friendly too. Rented a wifi egg from them at a cheap rate, but didnt expect it to not work outside Seoul. When I went Everland, I couldn't get connection anymore :( Overall, it was a great experience. Would stay there again if possible!

服務親切環境溫馨有早餐
離東廟地鐵站近，2號或是10號出口都很近，附近就有美食，24H馬鈴薯燉排骨、橋村炸雞、香港飯店401炸醬麵、麥當勞、本粥.......超多，還有很多當地小店，不用煩惱吃的問題。也有大創及超市可逛，散步到東大門也行。 住宿有早餐，吐司牛奶飲料泡麵，貼心提供，更適合小資組。 服務親切有禮，可代叫炸醬麵或炸雞。

極嬲的体驗
之前8月尾住過這間旅館留下鎖匙和匙扣已即刻通知員工代我保留到Nov 会取回,員工已答應会keep,点知去到問話冇,我即時極嬲,求問老闆又吾回應,觉得完全不負責任。另外,其中一晚廁所燈消左,又冇人換,搞到果晚要系黑房冲凉,好危險。仲有房暖地又無端端冇左,搞到有D凍,最後職員態度吾好,不能盡錄。
