Liked: The hostel provides basic facilities that a hostel should have. Yhe staff are helpful and nice. But as i stayed in six bed female dorm, the room is a bit too small and bed is quite fragile. The surrounding area is a shopping street and clubs around, so even back to hostel at late night the street is still quite crowded.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: Because I traveled in the winter-time, it was really coo to have a private room in the guesthouse apart from the dorm building because no one was there but me and my friends. The location is good because there is a bar/club scene in the Hyehwa area so it is easy to have fun. Yes, it is a walk from the metro station, but I don't think it would be very quiet if it was close to that place. The staff is cool and accommodated our requests as they came along. Cleaning people came to take trash out and clean the bathroom.

Disliked: The bathroom/entry area is really cold, but it's not like we lived in the bathroom. (Plus it is winter.. everything is cold)

Disliked: in the dorm it can be a little hot - temperature wise - there are no windows to open - so this can be a little uncomfortable.

Liked: This hostel is a great choice for those in Seoul on a budget. The location may not be amazing but there are still plenty of places to get food (Korean and Western) close by and the Sub Way station is a five minute walk away. The atmosphere was great and the place offered fantastic value for money. We stayed in a separate building from the main reception but still had a shared kitchen with everything you could need. The rooms were spotless and there was very little to complain about. I recommed this hostel as someone who travels and lives in South Korea.

Disliked: There was nothing to really dislike about the hostel although the bathroom was a little tricky to shower in comfortably.

Liked: Min was helpful;Close to bakery shops/cafes, eateries; 3-minute walk to get to a busy street (pedestrianised during weekends) and then metro station; Free Wifi, two free desktops in the lobby, and one desktop cum TV in each single ensuite room. Fridge, TV, kettle, sink, stoves, air con in single ensuite rooms. Single ensuite rooms are located in another buildings though.

Disliked: There's a window in my single ensuite room, but it's not opened and there's curtain. So it's like no window. But it's OK for me 'cuz I did not spend too much time during the day in the room.
