The breakfast was self service and the rules as explained by the counter staff were observed by the people staying in the hostel. The hostel is only a short walk from the subway station and the location has lots of shops and eateries, and pharmacies that suit the needs anytime.

The blanket was not washed from the last stay and had a smell despite being covered with a clean fresh sheet cover.

it was really close to a train station, and decently close to a mall with good food and shopping. there were multiple convenience stores for snacks and little meals nearby too!

While we were there, we couldn’t figure out the AC if there was any, and the windows don’t actually open so it can get a little toasty and stale. The beds were comfy, but it’s just a duvet, so if you’re a sheets in bed kind of person, this may not be for you. we tended to need to use the subway for about 30 mins every time we wanted to visit something, which is in no way bad, but you may want to put yourself closer to some locations if you’re on a time crunch.

near the train station

wifi not working

Very good value for money Good location - not so crowded but also not far from city center (i.e., Myeong-dong), near Sangwangsimni subway station (with elevators!) and bus stops, has many food options/restaurants around the area and has a nearby supermarket, Olive Young, etc. Size of the room - nice functional bathroom (even if the shower and sink are in the same space), fits big luggages, clean Has free breakfast for guests - cereals, bread, coffee, tea, instant soup, egg (you just have to do the cooking) With reliable staff

Breakfast has a time limit - 8-10AM only, but even if you're at the pantry before 10AM, they will request you to go out to clean the area even if you haven't finished eating! That is fine as long as they say that cleaning time is at exactly 10AM and guests are requested not to stay in the area during this time.

Excellent location 3 mins walk to Sangwangsimni station, lots of restaurant and coffee shop near by

Noise proof is not so good, I can heard my friend whose live next to mine. when I was there there was a construction, so I can heard it in the morning. the toilet is a little bit small but acceptable.

K-Grand met our expectations. What our family liked: location and nearness to a subway station; nearby are various restaurants, convenience stores, coffee shops, bakery, and stalls offering famous Korean delicacies (dumplings, twisted donuts and cake, etc.). there are also clothes shops and hostel is right next to a medical clinic. Room has good amenities: slippers, clothes rack and hangers, toiletry set is of a good brand. The blanket-comforter is nice and warm. Surrounding neighborhood is nice and safe. Security within the hostel is also good. Breakfast items on self-service is available; easy access to drinking water even late at night. Best of all, staff are very nice and helpful, esp the lady manager!! Great customer service.

Noting that we did not like but more of what could be better - some towels are frayed on the edges. Had to adjust to the layout/set-up in the toilet: shower head is near the doorway so there is an instruction on how one should shower --- a first for us all but we adjusted well to it.

Clean, budget friendly hostel

Bathroom is super small.

Room views were amazing, the room was very spacious

Windows could have been cleaner, and some more furniture in the room eg. A table and chairs or space to put your clothes

Breakfast were a bonus, the location was close to subway and bus stops. Reception was always available and the room was neat and tidy with a comfortable bed. The bathroom had everything needed even though it was small. Easy access by stairs or lift. Some good street food and shops nearby. Wi-Fi was available everywhere. I had a problem with the air conditioner - it was fixed the same day.

All was as described. No surprises. I would stay here again.

It's a nice hostel with everything you might need. We had a room on the 10th floor and the view of the city was nice. It's only a 5-minute walk from Sangwangsimni station. The room has airconditioning (and for the winter also floor heating). The beds were a bit small, but then again, Dutch people tend to be on the taller side ;) It's nice that each room has its own Wi-Fi network and little fridge. The toilet was also one of the fancy ones with a bidet and such.

The bathroom was really small, as in you could probably take a shower while sitting on the toilet :') Also, not necessarily something I didn't like, but small reminder this hostel is near Sangwangsimni station (Line 2) rather than Dongdaemun. As it's the circle line, it's quite convenient, though, and Wangsimni station is only a few minutes farther if you walk in the other direction.
