Definitely worth the pricetag!
Stayed here for 10 nights. The staff were the most friendly hotel staff I've ever met!
The people are really friendly, and will help you if you have any problems at all. For example, the WiFi I bought to use around the city didn't work at start, and Stefani was kind enough to actually call the company and sort it out for me, even though it took almost 15 minutes!
The location is also great, it has a 24/7 7 Eleven just on the opposite side of the street, and it's right next to the Myeongdong shopping area. It takes less than 2 minutes to be in the middle of everything there. The subway is about a 5-minute walk, and the airport limousine bus stop is about a 5 to 10-minute walk away.
The breakfast is sufficient enough to get your day started. You just have to wash your own dishes after using them, but that really shouldn't be a problem considering the price tag.
Fast WiFi is free everywhere inside the hostel, and it works smoothly. I didn't have any problems at all while using it.
The room, I was told by the owner, was actually the best room they have! A nice, comfy corner room with views towards both Namsan Mountain and Myeongdong. It could fit 2 people as well, but it would be quite a tight fit. I had just enough room for my things when traveling alone. As a westerner, the bed for me was a little hard at the beginning, but I got used to it pretty quickly. The bed also has a space under it where you can fit 1 big suitcase.
