Thank you guys

I would suggest to train your volunteers a bit more. A little polishing would be nice because although they’re volunteers they’re still employees and they shook set the example to the guests. For example the quiet time rule but then the volunteers were the first one to break the rule. Laughing out loud or speaking at high volume at 2am when guests are trying to sleep in the room next to the gathering.

It was perfect. I was able to study and plan my days. The location really is accommodating. The bus and subway are 3 and 6 minutes away walking. The convenience store is less than 100 yards away. You couldn't ask for a better place that's reasonably priced as a first time visitor. Also, the single room really is comfortable and spacious enough for all your traveling needs as a Solo Traveler, whether on holiday, work or studying. I'm older than everyone but they are respectful and I appreciate that. I use a cane but there's an elevator so I'm not inconvenienced. There are spas and saunas reachable by public transportation so it really is ideal.

It wasn't that I didn't like anything. I would have liked more guidance upon arrival instead of asking over each thing but the staff are cordial.

Haven't had Breakfast here yet but I appreciated the cleanliness and the quiet accommodations the most. It is comfortable and the bathrooms are very clean. So is the kitchen. For a reasonable price you can have your laundry done. There's public wifi and even for a small fee private wifi if you prefer. Public transportation is close and easy to walk to. There are plenty of coffee shops and convenience stores. Walk 3 blocks and you can get Starbucks. By the second night I knew that staying here was the best decision I made.

Well, I had no control over my arrival time since the Airline I use only flies to Korea once a day. I would have liked responses to my three emails the morning I arrived and was hoping to check in early. Never got any and the reception desk is closed from 11pm to 10am - and they mean it. I waited in the freezing cold for hours because I didn't have a choice. But I know it now.

The nearest subway station - Seolleung St is about 15mins walk and its not that bad as there are no steps/slopes. There are multiple convenient shops (GS25, CU) along the way. The check in process was smooth and the staffs were friendly too. Overall the bed is quite comfortable as I got the lower bunk. The duvet is thick so its warm enough for me on cold nights.

The shared bathroom/shower room shocked me a little as there are two showers in one shared space. But none of the other guests will enter after you locked it, it just made me a bit weirded out.

Actually- easy to find. Convenience stores just nearby, at night- you kinda feel safe walking home cause there are a lot of people. There’s a bathroom solely for female - a good point. It’s basic shower, clean and white space so it makes comfortable while showering. That safety lock after maybe 10pm I think, for front door. Wi-Fi is available. I like the extension just beside your bed, and have many sockets for multiple charging.

I wish there is more space for sitting area. Either to meet with other travelers or just chilling.

Bedrooms, bathrooms and common areas are cleaned everyday. The kitchen is well equipped and the fridge was clean and organized. The beds are a little stiff, but the sheets are clean and the comforter is comfortable. The location is really good, near one of the major subway lines and right next to an airport shuttle (cost is ₩18,000 one-way).

The beds are a little stiff, but nothing to complain about. Also, if you get a dorm facing the front of the building, it can be a little noisy at night with cars and people.

I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. I have visited Seoul multiple times in the past and so far, I think this has been the best hostel I've stayed at. It's great that the property is located in the Gangnam area. It's in close proximity to major establishments and transportation is easily accessible (10-min walk to Seolleung Station, 3 min walk from the bus stop). I had an enjoyable and comfortable stay. Oh, and the staff is friendly, too.

I can't think of anything.
