Liked: It's location was good

Disliked: The bathroom was shocking, was really dirty and had some room attached to it so there was a seriously cold draught in the shower. Not to mention to mould and stains

Liked: Nice and small hostel close to a vivid university neighbourhood with all kinds of clubs and (cheap) restaurants. Close to the Hongik University subway station, making travel around Seoul really easy.

Disliked: Nothing to complain about.

Liked: As we wanted the cheapest room we booked a twin, which was bunkbeds, but upgraded to a double bed room when the owner saw we were a couple. The owner was very friendly. The room was fine, all that matters for us is the matress which was average but the room had lots of closet space. The bathroom was ok, and shared with the dorms. The lounge area was quite nice and modern looking with a nice TV and two computers which had skype and a headset and good internet connection. the area was perfect in the center of hongdae.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: People you meet are friendly. Owner is friendly. Beds are adequate. Location next to the busiest night streets of Hongdae.

Disliked: You must request certain accommodations (locks, keys,etc) and owner is not always available because he is always moving between HeyBackpackers1 and HeyBackpackers2. Front door is often left unlocked.
