Would absolutely recommend this hostel! The staff made an effort to keep the place very clean despite it being an older property. The beds and bathrooms were comfortable to us. The free breakfast is much appreciated and I overall enjoyed my stay.

Location is nice, right next to Metro station. Beds are very spacious and comfortable. There isn’t really a common area, just a small space for the breakfast. Breakfast was ok, but not much options. The service was not that great. I didn’t recieve a code for the door before i got there, so i had to just stand outside and knock on the door until someone let me in. There was no staff there, and i didn’t know what to do. Eventually a girl staying at the hostel helped me find a note that was left for me at the reception, with codes to the doors.

Stay here if you can sleep in a noisy environment. The hostel itself is very well located, however other guests whilst I stayed there were not good at keeping quiet, meaning there was a lot of noise often up until 3 am.

This is a good location for getting the subway or the bus. It's an all women hostel. There is toast and eggs for you to enjoy as a light breakfast. They have 4 individual bathroom/shower room to share which was nice for privacy. They were well stocked with toiletries, towels, and hair dryer. I enjoyed my stay there.

很適合一個人獨旅，需要很安靜睡眠環境的人不建議，有提供耳塞，戴耳塞睡會好很多，有簡易的早餐可以自己用，進出都是密碼鎖，要記好，行李多的人不推薦，附近爬坡很多，12:00-06:00不能使用吹風機，提供毛巾沒有浴巾，頭髮多且長可能需要自備

快適便利

宿はいろいろちょうど心地よいです。洗濯機や朝食、お水など無料のものとても助かります。駅からも近く、バス地下鉄どこに行くのも便利な場所です。 スタッフが常駐ではないので、夜中にマナーの悪い方がいて残念でした。 (夜中共同スペースでの大きな声で電話、カップ麺をリサイクル用のゴミ箱に汁を入れたまま捨てるなど。)

荷物預かってもらう為に早めに行ったら、すぐにチェックインしてくれてとても助かりました。建物が古いのでエレベーターなし、USBではなくコンセントが必要。変換器はラウンジに置いてくれていて借りれます。 牛乳、シリアル、食パン、卵は午前中食べれます。タオルは1日1枚借りれるので助かる。 バスルームは4、5個あるが混み合う時もあります。近くに女子大があるので治安はいいし、若い子用のお店が多く楽しめます。オシャレなカフェもたくさんあります。ソウルはホテルが高いので1人旅でそこまで気にしない人だったらありだと思います。

Place was clean and relatively quiet. Daily provision of towels as well as shampoo and body wash satchels. To note that as the place is located on the fourth floor, those with heavy wheeled luggages might have some difficulties reaching the place as it does not have lift. The walls are thin as well but generally quite quiet during the night. Good thing about the place is that it has some space around the bed for placements of your own items as well as lockers in the room for you to store your bags as well! Overall an enjoyable stay!
