It is a Hostel and not a Hotel. So, we should expect the facilities as per hostel and not compare with a hotel. It has not promised breakfast but you have the liberty to prepare your breakfast as per your taste. In the shared bathrooms, they have provide the best quality hair wash and body wash lotions and the best bath soap. They keep proper stock of towels, the tooth brushes and toothpaste tubes ready for the use of guests. The kitchen is well equipped with a Rice Cooker, Micro oven, coffee machine and much more.
It is better they could mention about Subway Station and also the Airport Limousine Bus stops a bit more clearly. On the first day of arrival we had a bit diffulties in finding the location.

The location in my opinion was awesome, a quite district with elders, convenient stores and cafés all around and close to metro. As a solo travel I didn’t meet much, the price was more important to me, but at the hostel I had everything I needed, the rooms were relatively clean, pretty much what you can expect at this price rate
It is true that the rooms are thin walled and therefore not too soundproof but again, for this price this is what you can expect anywhere around Seoul

+ My room is hygienic, spacious for the price and smells good. + The bed is super comfy that i had pleasant sleeps every night + My private bathroom also clean, spacious, got hot water, they provide toothpaste, shampoo, body wash n conditioner. They even provide toothbrush ready for you in the 1st floor in case you didn't bring any. + There were also small towel and big towel in 1st floor for free to use. + My room got a window which is very pretty scenery outside when the snow were falling especially. It is a little cold but you can adjust it by your own since there is portable heater in the room. I even opened the window every morning for ventilation purpose. The owner is super kind enough always making sure if my room is super cold or not, and gave extra bed heater thank you 👍🏻 + There is also mini fridge, TV with 60+ channels 😂, and hair dryer in the room. The WIFI also have a strong connection, the best ! + Can do a laundry in 2nd floor which is a very plus mark here considering the price of the room compared to other guesthouses with no washing machine. You can pay a small fee in the money coin box to use washing machine and the dryer. They got 3 washing machines and 1 dryer. They even prepared the detergent for you. Very cool isn't? + The kitchen, it was almost like at home, there are stove, microwave, water dispenser, rice cooker, toaster, coffee maker, blender, all sort of pots n utensils, plates, bowls, mugs and so on. Can cook and use the utensils without worry, and made sure to wash our dish before leaving the kitchen ! It's common sense hehe. Manners maketh man. Simple breakfast like bread, jam, instant coffee also prepared. Make your own toast with a cup of coffee. The kitchen is a shared place to meet other guests from around the world. I made a lot of friends in the kitchen hehe + The owner and the staff are very kind and helpful. They will try to give you the best and comfort accommodation. + The location itself is very strategic.

The receptionist Thai girl was really nice and supportive, she even helped carry the suitcase for my friend. The location was great, just a 2-minute walk from the bus stop (you can take the airport bus from here) and a 4-minute walk from the metro station. I actually preferred the private room that didn't have an en suite bathroom over the one that had. They even offered free laundry service. I had a really nice stay here. Thank you <3

I like how it was situated between Dongmyo and Sinseoldong station and it's proximity to the bus stands make it easier to travel between places. The accomodations were worth the pay and the staff made it easy enough to answer my queries.
The staff doesn't always manned the desk esp at night so if we had any trouble we had to call using the number provided but it's hard to communicate through the phone. I also got lost while looking for the hostel because I was giving a not updated map to the place

I loved that I have my own bathroom in my room. I originally booked a different hostel but was disappointed. I impromptu booked this hotel and allowed me to check in 4hrs earlier. The staff was very accommodating and even carried my suitcase without me asking for it. Totally recommended! Great value for money and location is pretty convenient too.

The hospitality was good and the room was enough spacious. I recommend this place for who visiting alone.
But, I felt cigarette smell in the room. But the staff spray the room spray. After that I felt little ok. So please sticktly prohibit the smoking inside the room. And Air conditioner also turned off few times automatically. Other than that everything is good

Very nice place with lots of private rooms, the little star light was very nice for bed time mood relaxing. Very nice area near all the bargain markets and lots of little extra goodies.
Some of the plugs were a bit finicky and you have to wiggle them around to get the plug to work
