Location! I didn't know Daegu was so vibrant and exciting, so many options! So many places! I had not planned more than one night, but glad I stayed an extra evening! I wish I would have stayed a little longer! Hostel bedrooms were nicely laid out, Ladders to top bunks were ample and sturdy. Always like light color wood furniture. Common rooms were very nice as well. Staff was kind, considerate and patient.

Pedaling in from the 4 Rivers course in the drizzle. Saw some crazy stuff from drivers! A bit scary! Just a bit far off from the course as well. Leaving - I really liked Daegu

Close to the tube station, surrounding by shops in any king and most important foodsssss. Easy to do the check in. Bed comfy, in the bathroom provide toothpaste, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, this i super convenient when traveling. You do have a switch for hot water if needed. You do have a rooftop, super cool to admire the moon at night with a cold beer. Common Area where you do have water dispenser ( hot / cold water) instant coffee and tea, free washing machine to use. super secure, good wifi. lovely hostel to stay in Daegu.

Very nice stay, clean and friendly staff. On arrival, I also received a coupon for a free beer, which I really needed after the long journey. The room was big enough with en suite bathroom. The room also has a locker for each key holder where you can store your belongings. Beds are alright.

The bathroom doesn't have plugs or a mirror. I needed to go to the lobbi's restroom to plug in my hair straightener and do my makeup. I couldn't do it in the room because other people had their stuff all over the place and were always sleeping. Moreover, the bathroom door doesn't lock either. It can be uncomfortable when you share the room with other 5 people.

I liked the central location and the communal vibe. I also loved the price! i booked in advance and got a great deal! I would definitely stay again! We kept cool in the heat with the AC on and I felt very comfortable.

Some of the other guests were inconsiderate slamming doors, blow drying the hair, turning on lights. I think there should be an easier way to make complaints about disrespectful behaviour. I paid for the 6 female room and was put in the 8 female room. Also I have bad knees and there’s many stairs!

The location was great, heaps of places to eat food nearby (they also have a list of places nearby you can eat if travelling alone since it can be hard to get a table for one!). The rooms were very spacious. Although there is no kitchen there is a fridge and microwave for food.

A privacy curtain for the dorm beds would have been nice to filter a little bit of light from when other door mates come home late/leave early

The location is very close to downtown Daegu, which is very convenient. The staff is extremely friendly and has good English proficiency.

However, there is no elevator, and the bathroom is a bit old. Additionally, the front desk is only staffed from 9:00 to 18:00, so luggage storage is only available during this time, which can be inconvenient.

convenient check in process, also late self check in is possible (just make sure to inform them and they send the instructions) central location with endless eating, drinking and shopping possibilities

the room had some mosquitoes, unfortunately the repellent didn’t work… feels a little crammed but for the price you can’t complain

Accomodation offers everything you need (hairdryer, clean towels everyday, AC, laundry machine...). Location is perfect in the middle of lively area but I never had any problems with noise. Staff was really kind. For sure good value for money.

I would maybe recommend bringing small pillow, for me the pillow I got was a bit too flat

My stay in Daegu was very nice and peacefull, thanks to the good advice of the person working at the front desk. The dorm was spacious, with large beds. I was the only guest in my room when I stayed there, so it was pretty quiet and relaxing! The location is also great, lots of places were close enough to walk there. And the neighborhood is full of restaurants and cafés!

Nice staff, room was very spacious. Rooms felt decently clean. Loved how they had multiple areas to eat and relax outside your dorm room. Great location aswell!! Next to everything and 1 min walk to a nearby market plus you’re surrounded by 1000s of food options
