Poor service

Nothing like what it showed in the pictures. I was very disappointed with the front desk. This male staff with the tattoo is very rude as I had some questions to ask.Actled he is letting me stay there for free and doing me a favour.

the hostel is very cheap so don't expect too much, otherwise it's a nice place to meet young travelers and socialize over a drink, friendly staff such as a guy called Ocean, he worked there, but felt more like a friend. the hostel is located next to chungchongno and you can take line 2 and line 5 there which is very convenient. Located close to city hall and the main palace.

とりあえず部屋が臭かった。3泊したが一度もシーツ等を変えてくれはしなかった。水回りは悪いと思ってくれて大丈夫。エレベーターがないから重い荷物を持って階段上がり下がりするのはしんどい。2段ベッドの上段だったため、下段の人が少しでも動くと揺れる。ベッドによってコンセントが遠いから延長コードは必須。しかし、世界中から来た人たちと英語で会話できたりしたため良かった。あと、立地もソウル駅まで歩いて10分程度。最寄り駅までは1分程度で行けるため問題ない。

Clean and good but a bit inconvenient

The hostel was okay, but the reasons I decided to move to another hostel were: toiletries were watered down, guest towel cabinets were empty, no electric outlet at my bed (not any extension cord). Apart from that the room and bed were pretty clean, and other travelers were friendly and easy to talk to! This hostel has a communal area to hang out, making it easy to make new friends. The train station is one minute from the hostel, and it’s really easy to get to anywhere around Seoul.

チェックイン日に、トイレットペーパーがびちゃびちゃに濡れて乾いたであろうものが置いてあった。さすがに使うのに気が引けたので、新しいものが欲しいとフロントに貰いに行くと、なんで？って顔をされて嫌な気しかしなかった。立地は良いし、ウォーターサーバーもあるので日々助かったが、次も使用したいと思っていたので残念。

I was having huge fun for my first solo trip. I used their share room and it’s quite good, having lockers for every bed. All room doors are using password instead of keys. It’s good for backpackers or people who travel alone, a good chance to make friends with people from other countries. They got both local staffs and foreign staffs. They are so friendly and helpful. They will also invite us to join activities with other guests. And don’t forget, Ocean is the nicest Korean guy I’ve ever met in Korea;)

アクセスがとてもよかった。ウォーターサーバーもあり、安全な飲み水が確保できて快適だった。ただ水まわりはイマイチ。洗面所では排水が漏れていたし、シャワーから出るとスリッパがびしょ濡れ。　貸出タオルも数が足りないみたいで、手にすることはできなかった。
