I like everything about the hostel. We stayed 5 nights there and it was like the comfort of our home. Thanks to the owner of the hostel who was very kind, able to communicate in English and assisted us whenever we needed help (helped to carry our luggage to our room and upon check out, guided us on how to use the washing machine and called taxi for us) . The hostel provided free self laundry service and if you're planning for a short trip, you don't have to bring many clothes as you can wash and dry ur clothes there.

None, everything in the room worked properly. However, I would not recommend family with small kids and baby to stay here because the space is very limited and the soundproof quality is a bit poor. The noise your kids making might disturb other guests staying next room.

Great Location! walking distance to Exit 7 of DDP station. this subway station is great since it has 3 subway lines including the green line that circles Seoul. this makes it easier for you to get around during your stay. the bus stop for the Airport limousine bus is also 2 minutes walk away. so no trouble getting from and to Incheon Airport. the owner was so nice. even offered coffee while I was doing my laundry. speaking of laundry, you can wash your clothes there for free, it has timings though. can also use the microwave if you need to heat food purchased outside. I normally go back late at night, and access to the door is by RFID key. Stayed here for 10 nights. Overall had a good stay! :)

rooms too small. cant barely move around. water from the bathroom can get into your room if you do not put the shower curtain properly. the bathroom floor is not elevated. room cleaning needs to be advised before 11am, other wise they wont clean.

If you're looking for a great accomodation for highly reasonable price, this is most probably the best choice in entire Seoul. The place is great - it's very close to the DDP subway station. And if you arrive by plane, it is very close to the stop for airport bus to Incheon. Highly recommend that. The quality of accommodation? Well, for this price level you can't expect the quality level of Hilton. However if you want to have a great room for a wonderful price, go for this! The room is small, but big enough for a multiple-days stay. The bathroom is convenient and very clean. Wifi is absolutely perfect as all the rooms have own routers and on top of everything is the owner, who is extra polite and willing to help you with all your needs. If I return to Seoul, I'll definitely stay here again.

Amazing location with close tranportation stations, several nice little restaurants and convenience stores within a walking distance. If you bring heavy suitcases, be aware that the nearest metro station has a looot of stairs and the hostel also has only stairs. The neighborhood is not touristy and quiet. Little rooms, but we even had two big suitcases and it still worked out fine. AC worked great. They provide extra towels and a kettle for each room, as well as shower gel, shampoo, slippers. Did let us leave our luggage before checking in. The host is always at the property during daytime, very friendly.

Be aware that during more humid months, towards late spring/summer, the room gets very damp and hot. Even though the AC works great and there is a possibility to open a window, it was hard to keep room air comfortable for sleeping and being there during daytime. Also, the kitchen is closed for late evening. No space to properly hang clothes.

The location was great for accessing the city, being near DDP station exit 7. It was also near an airport limousine bus stop, Baiton Hotel. The boss was very kindly and helped us with whatever enquiries we had and they kept the place really clean too. Everything worked well, the beds were neither too soft nor hard, and the room had good soundproofing from the outside (not between rooms, but people were considerate).

No complains! The room is small but it’s very reasonable for its price.

The location was good. It was close to multiple subway lines. It was also close to many markets such as Gwangjang market. The owner is very nice and will try to help such as bringing luggage up the stairs and helping weigh the luggage before you leave. It was also good value for money. The space was tight but that was to be expected from a decently priced hostel.

The walls are pretty thin so you can hear your neighbors late at night or early morning. But the owner does provide ear buds if you need. Also the towels provided are only hand sized towels so for people with long hair it might be inconvenient.

Lovely owner and wife, and the simple rooms have everything you need & are very clean. I can't fault this place. Close to a couple of different subway stations and near to the DDP / Dongdaemun Design Plaza. Thank you.

This is not really anything to do with the property but I would probably choose the metro rather than airport bus... It's a lot cheaper and, if you're like me - someone who drinks a lot of fluids - there is a toilet at every Seoul metro station, so you could always get off for that as there's not one on the bus. However, the driver 'may' stop for you ;) - This is my 9th visit to Korea, so I'm always experimenting with modes of transport.

The host was very helpful and friendly, can speak good english so easy to communicate. The place was very clean . Also like the quietness in the hostel. I feel very safe staying there. Like the fact that they have a drying room so doing laundry was easy. Plenty of eateries around. Also near to subway exit 7. Also near Jungbu Market, very good place to shop .

At first we felt the room was very small, but after a while you just get used to it and it's very comfortable to stay. Although it's very near to subway exit 7, maybe 1 or2 mins away, but if you have big luggage then it's a problem to maneuver the stairs.

Although it was on the smaller side, we didn’t mind it. It was clean and cozy. We could always come back knowing that we would be warm and comfortable. Perfect for the cold weather. Provided all the essentials. The owner was very friendly and helped us out with what we needed (luggage storage, directions, helping with luggage). It was not noisy at all.

Getting to the hostel from the subway exit 7 was a bit of a hassle because there were quite a number of stairs. I think there is another better way to get there, but not a big issue!
