Liked: Very friendly and helpful staff, they really do everything to help! Top location, ~ 8 min from the subway station, airport limousine, airport railway and very lively area of Seoul, with plenty of places to eat, drink and shop! Very good price!

Disliked: The low price comes with rather crowded space - not a surprise. For the rooms upstairs there is only one bathroom, shared with launch/kitchen area - everybody using it, so it gets messy and smelly pretty quickly. I would recommend using downstairs bathrooms. It happens also that people stay up late (long after midnight), skyping, talking in the launch or kitchen, shutting doors - if you sleep lightly, get earplugs :-)!

Liked: The owner is really nice and helpful especially with booking excursions and shows. The common areas and kitchen are comfortable and breakfast is a bonus. The place is clean and comfortable- pretty much all you can ask for.

Disliked: A bit hard for the taxi driver to find at first (however once you know where it is, it's an 5-6 minute walk from the subway station.

Liked: Atmosphere was cozy and the owner was really helpful - providing us with maps, recommending good eats, and even helping us to book a tour even though it wasn't one of the programs offered on hand. Really glad for the free breakfasts too! I'd definitely stay again.

Disliked: The room was slightly stuffy with no ventilation - not a problem during our cold early Spring stay, but not sure how it would be in the summertime.

Liked: The location is great- about 8 minutes walk from Hongik University Station... a great destination in itself, and easily accessible from either airport. The staff is friendly and very helpful, and the fellow guests (many of whom are long-term residents of the hostel) are pretty cool.

Disliked: I imagined that hostels in Korea would be a little cheaper, but it was on par with the others in this area.

Liked: I loved the large common area on the second floor, and the free breakfast (toast and eggs). The owner was really friendly and helpful. He gave advice and directions.

Disliked: I disliked the mosquito nets on the beds, and the lockers were a little bit small. Also for me personally, the location wasn't good because I'm not interested in Hongdae.
