Liked: Adorable Korean hostel, with fancy rice cookers available for cooking.

Disliked: Bathrooms lack sinks, so you have to go back to your room to wash your hands, and presumably lots of people with unwashed hands are walking around the hostel.

Liked: It was quiet with a good kitchen (unlike the last place I stayed which didnt have one) and was centrally located and within walking distance to a number of attractions

Disliked: the only thing I didnt like was that it felt a little unsafe to be walking around alone after dark in the area

Liked: The hostel is fantastic! The staff are brilliant - nothing is too much trouble and they are always looking to please. The hostel itself is one of the best I have stayed on in my travels. The hostel is spotless - it is cleaned several times a day and properly! The hostel also has a really homely feel with a fantastic kitchen and lounge. Cheap laundry and good rooms! The free internet and wifi is also a bonus!

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Very friendly and helpful staff. Located very central. Practical nice big enough kitchen. Frequently cleaning both rooms and kitchen. No party hostel, very nice cotravellers,many from Korea, easy to be around. Free printing of documents, and even free washing powder for the laundry. Hot shower 24 hours. Good beds, no squeaking in our room..

Disliked: Very few spots to hang towels/clothes. No common soap at the sink (four bedroom) some shelves here and there around the sink and hooks on the doors would help. Tiny towels. The heating was either fully on, and we were forced to have the window open to a busy street, or it was fully off.

Liked: Friendly Staff and excellent location

Disliked: No A/C and take your own towel as "towel" provided is more like a hand towel. Yes you can pay for a bigger towel but not sure why the hostel doesn't just provide larger towels.
