Good location in Seoul for an affordable price for a solo traveller. The subway is close by with good connections to major parts of the city. Some things to note is that the mattress was very thin. It was only okay bc im 60kg. However the mosquitos inside the room were extremely annoying. For this reason alone i would choose another place to stay.

The hostel is in the middle of a market, can be quite loud in the morning if the window is open. Look for the sign with the name to find it, it's easy to miss. There is a bus stop 2 min walk away and a subway station about 7 min walk across the river through a flea market. The hostel provides towels (small), toilet paper, shower gel, can borrow an umbrella, and there are chargers for the phone in the common room. Bring a little lock if you want to put your stuff in the locker box. Luggage storage is available.

It is European, not Korean. This site is not helpful at all. It is hard to believe. I'm too sorry for people who visited together. We had to spend a lot of time looking for other accommodation. Do not dream of a refund. Please check your room and check in. There is an answer in the photograph. There is an answer in the latter part. please.

Good value

I stayed here for three nights. If you're looking for a super social hostel, this is probably not the place to stay. It's a really relaxed and chilled environment, and if you're getting to a point where you just need a place to sleep and hide, this is a good choice. Manager/owner is super nice, he even came to pick me up in person, after I managed to get completely lost in the area. Location is good, close to the Dongmyo station, it's a bit difficult to find the first time. If I ever go back to Seoul, I'll stay here :)

Good value for that price. nice hostel!

Host is fast and responsive. Location is very good. it's very close to two major train lines which made it very easy to get places ( 5 min walk). It is close to line 2( you can take line 2 to most visitor places in Seoul, very convenient.) and 6(Sindang st) and line 1(Dongmyo st). They are located nearby Dondaemun in mechanical repairs street. so little hard to find at first but other than that I had no problems. Everything was clean, the staff was kind and helpful, the rooms were really comfortable. A bed in dorm is individual. They have kitchen. .The rooftop is perfect to relax. Also nice stream nearby to walk and night markets are walkable. local market, big second hands market and Korean public bath are 3 minutes walking distance. I like the design of the place. Maybe not nice as hotels, but it has everything you need. And it is a very unique place, you can see that the host out his heart into this place.

もう二度と泊まりません

まずフロントいう感じの場所はありません ロッカーがなくスーツケースを持って行くと ドミトリーの布団の近くに置くしかなく 仕切りは下の階はカーテンのみ上は場所によってはないです！私が与えられた箇所にはなかったです。 一応何も盗まれてはいませんでしたが 外出中不安でしかありませんでした。 同じドミトリーの空間にスタッフらしき男性の生活スペースなのか寝泊まりもそこでしている雰囲気でした 布団もそこまで綺麗ではなく何箇所か虫？ダニに食われました。 1日数10分仮眠と着替えだけに戻りましたが 掃除されていないのか ダニに数カ所噛まれて痒くて仕方がないです。 立地も中古家電や家具屋が多く売っていおり 分かりづらく雰囲気も悪いですし路地にあるので 1人だと怖いです 友人とは別の宿泊先を選んだ為、 韓国慣れしていないわたしには耐えられず トイレとシャワーもありますが使わず毎日SPAへ行きました もう二度と泊まりません
