Guesthouse was convenient, only bad thing is the walls. I've stayed there a couple of times so i kinda got used to it. It can be really noisy at noisy and can be quite cold. Though they provide shampoo and shower gel, would recommend to bring own ones cause theirs are like the cheap ones. Staff are really helpful. There's both pros and cons. depends on what you're looking for in your accommodation

manager was really rude
the manager was really rude and when I asked questions on where shower room is located, he be like ,"you don't know how to read the sign?you didn't read the manual instructions in the front desk?, etcs." I heard they were really nice to Japanese guests. even as Korean visiting the guesthetc. I felt very uncomfortable. the only reason I booked here is because I had good.service at the other location near Seoul Station. I saw manager trying to teach his workers, they were really nice and helpful. He is the one who should be nice to the customer. I'm going to recommend my friends to visit other guesthouse.

Great location and reasonable price
The room was not bad considering the price. Although it was not completely clean and tidy as hotels, the amenities and facilities were fairly acceptable. Since this place is a hostel, socialising with other guests were fun, although staffs seemed not that friendly but wanted to hang out only with themselves. But they were kind when I checked in and out, which is enough I think. I'd recommend this place to whom are planning to spend minimal times in accomodations and concentrate on travel or other things to do. Don't expect too much at this price. I'm not saying this place wasn't good, but if you lower the bars to fit the prices, you will know it was a fairly satisfactory stay.

Good enough
This is a bare bones hostel that had clean linens, a place to keep your food, and other guests were friendly. Bathrooms are not on every floor, so ask if you are a person that may need to use the toilet in the middle of the night. Location was convenient but do write down the directions if you don't have mobile internet because it is tucked away.

Worst
i was stayed in Korea for 2 weeks and stayed in numerous guesthouse and this is the worst guesthouse that i had been stay in Korea. My arms were sting by unknown insects when i used their blanket and caused my arms red and swollen. The better things was the locations that is near to hongik night market and near to subway. But I'm not recommended u guys to stay in this guesthouse.

Beware, ratings are inflated.
CONS 1) Manager speaks in a very condescending tone. I've observed him doing it to other guests as well as his own staff. Creates a VERY unpleasant atmosphere/culture and I think it makes the staff themselves less friendly to guests. 2) many bed sheets have weird stains 3) they don't wash the blankets (but they wash the sheets) 4) wifi can be super slow 5) toilets washed once a day--at night often clogged/super dirty 6) There is absolutely no way this hostel deserves 3.5 stars on Expedia (at the time of this writing). I think the manager is putting up fake reviews to boost their rating. 7) the kitchen/lounge area didn't have much people at all over the course of a few weeks. 8) heating in room not turned on at all, even after asking the Manager and he assured us it would be turned on. He lied and did nothing. PROS 1) some (not all) staff were helpful and kind: SuYeon, Rani (I forget her Korean name), YuanYue, Tracy, Ellie 2) trash emptied & toilets sprayed down once a day 3) cheap-ish (nearby hostels are a bit more expensive, but MUCH better) 4) honestly, not much else... I'm really struggling to think of more.
