Location, location, location!
The best part about this hostel is definitely where it is situated. There are two different subway stations nearby, several restaurants, a convenience store right next door, an UNESCO site within walking distance, and a five minutes walk to a airport bus stop. The service was good and the hostel was fairly clean. We stayed in room 408. The only con experience we had was our next door neighbors partying until 4am in the morning and we couldn’t call the front desk to complain since reception is opened for a limited amount of time. However, it’s not the hostel’s fault when the three girls next door have no manners, no courtesy, and no consideration for others.

Nice and comfortable stay
I stayed with my mom in the room with private bathroom. Well, as a hostel, it is superb. Clean and Safe Location : - close to subway Angkok station amd Jongno 3 ga station; plus so close to airport bus 6011. - close to Choengdeogung palace and Insadong. convenient to sightseeing and restaurants Staff - friendly and helpful, especially, the staff called Claire. Breakfast - bread and jam, cereals, steam sweet potatoes, tea and coffee, banana. Everyday the same, but it is good for hostel. Quiet environment Roof top excellent view - see the Seoul tower, Shrine, Cheongdeogung Palace and sun rise.

Poor bed conform / very noisy
Pros: good location, very friendly staff, good breakfast Cons: the bed in the dorms is poor quality (the worst I had in 2 months travelling Asia in hostel). The pillow are very dirty I had to put something on it. The wifi work time to time and the speed is very slow. The door to the dorms is so loud that each time someone open or close the door it will wake you up. Also the hostel is in front of a school so it's also noisy in the morning. They keep the windows open to save on A/C so you have no others choice. Also you can't change the temperature of the dorms. Most of what I listed can be fixed in 1 week by the hostel manager. Overall I would look for a better place im sure you can find one in Seoul.

I like this place. The only negative is that in the hostel room many other visitors don't even say hi to you. That's so uncivilized.

The best!
I stayed for 6 nights and definitely had a great time. The staffs were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and tidy. Moreover, it is located near to two subway stations (Anguk station and Jongno-3 station), which was very convenient to travel to many places. Nonetheless, many tourist attractions such as Changdeokgung palace, Jongmyo shrine, Insadong, and Jogyesa temple are closed to the hotel, just by walking distance. I will definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Privacy for small money
Stayed 6 nights at a mixed dormitory. Had it for 2 nights at first, but fell in love and decided to stay few more nights. Beats the traditional bunker bed arrangement and offers surprisingly much privacy with a low price. In your "box" you have your own light, sockets and enough space to store some of your stuff. Besides this the additional lockers are spacy enough to fit even a bigger luggage. staff mostly spoke ok English, but I had few misunderstandings with them because of the language barrier. They also have not so experienced staff members so be prepared for some mix-ups. Overall an excellent accommodation for a solo traveller!
