I recommend this place for affordability and location. Much cheaper than a hotel, and the double bed-room was comfortable. Some of the finishes were a little worn, but for a hostel, I can't complain. I recommend for solo travelers.

Stay away!!

The only good thing about this hostel is the location as it is a street away from the metro station. Aside from that, this is the filthiest hostel I have ever stayed in. I place looks like a hoarders live in the “kitchen area.” The refrigerator hasn’t been cleaned in over a year, food is shoved into every nook, extension cords are a bliss and the floor hasn’t not been mopped since installed. When can be found, the staff is not at all helpful at providing simple information that they should know. The rooms are less than halfway decent in comfort but look as though the walls will soon crumble from lack of construction and patching. There was a girl who, for two nights slept in the kitchen and did not move, as to be passed out from a night of hard drinking. Another girl who must be living there would dry her hair at the dining tables and brush her teeth in the kitchen sink rather than use the bathroom in her assigned room. Fortunately I wasn’t expecting much and slept there only for three hours and used the place as a luggage storage and location to charge my phone. I do not recommend this place to anyone no mater the price.

All in all only night for just sleep was okay. There was no receptionist. There was information to call Korean number but I was foreigner, didn’t have number. Later some person (maybe she was helper) helped me where the bedroom was but mostly I didn't know about anything until I had to ask question. Living area was small, mostly full and it looked like some people were long residents or helpers, so only a few space for short visitor in the peak time. Dormitory room was spacious but there was no trash box inside room, I didn't know where to throw trush at first. Shower bathroom was only one available in the big dormitory room, no extra toilet in common area. Mostly toilet room was wet n messy after somebody took shower there. Upper bed was shaky, the bed without bed light was sometimes inconvenient. Breakfast was toast, instant noodle, egg n orange juice. Common fridge was mostly full of long stay residents, only little space for short visitors. A little insufficient hospitality and socialising atmosphere. Better stay other bigger places if you wanna socialise with other travelers

Mein Zimmer war im Keller es hat bisschen komisch gerochen aber war noch okay. In meinem Zimmer waren wir 14 Leute bzw gab es so viel Betten und es gab nur ein Badezimmer sehr wenig für so viel Leute. Küchen Ausstattung als Frühstück war Nix besonderes Instant Nudeln, Eier ,Toast, Tee, Kaffeepulver und erdnüssbutter. Für so 3 Nächte ist eigentlich okay. Ich finde das Hostel kann auch renoviert werden bisschen damit es besser aussieht von innen. Es gab ein laundry Service das ist gut.

一般の方は泊まれない宿だと思います。

非常に不潔で不快な宿です。汚物がトイレ内に散乱していたり、部屋も清掃されてないです。個室はもしかしたらもう少し快適かもしれませんが、ホテル(?)内がそもそも臭いので快適に過ごせるとは思えません。相当な覚悟がある方は泊まってみると良いです。

Prix minimum - service minimum

Je vais commencer par dire que je n'ai pas passé un mauvais séjour mais qu'il y a quand-même pas mal de critiques à faire. Les points positifs : le prix et la localisation. Service : pas un bonjour, on sent qu'ils ne sont pas payés assez pour répondre aux questions... Chauffage au sol en plein mois de mai... j'ai été obligé d'allumer la clim pour compenser tellement il faisait chaud... Les revêtements de sol du couloir sont complètement usés et faisaient tellement de bruit que je croyais que quelqu'un entrait dans ma chambre à chaque fois qu'on passait devant. J'ai tenté d'allumer la télé par curiosité. Elle ne marchait pas.

Very friendly atmosphere. Nice kitchen with drinks available. I was originally booked into the larger mixed dorm but got upgraded to the 6-bed female dorm when I arrived, which was really good for me as a young solo female traveller. Really convenient, central location. Overall, a comfortable and easy stay!

値段相応の期待をして行けば満足できる

14人部屋に2日間滞在しましたが、二段ベットの上部は電源がなく、長期の滞在となると大変かもしれません。また部屋にトイレとシャワーが一体になったものが一つだけあるだけなので不便さは少しあります。値段が値段なのでコストパフォーマンスは良いほうかなと思います。駅から徒歩1.2分でタオルも無料で貸して貰えましたし、何よりスタッフの男性が非常に親切丁寧でした。たった2日の滞在にも関わらず名前を覚えてくださり、オススメのスポットなどを紹介してくれました。
