Clean room and bed.
Stayed two nights and it was silent enough even that it was near the pub.
Friendly personal
From the start that had a lovely young man check you in. Then expert instructions to your room and all the facilities. In the evening a great time in the downstairs area. Nice young lady pouring beers for all at a great price. Overall awesome experience at en even better price
The hotel was sooo amazing place to meet up new people including locals because it has awsome bar on the first floor. The host is really funny and welcoming guy who helps backpaers with his best. 5 stars rated. come and see
The location is ok and continent but the dorms are paper thin and regardless to the fact that the window was open it felt stuffy
There were tons of mosquitos each night so it was impossible to sleep. (Despite the fact that the windows had nets on them
Great place to meet other fellow travellers but I should have just stayed at my other hostel in Myeongdong for the whole time given the place is far from the main places I wanted to go to, and costs roughly the same.
This place doesn't have an elevator so if you have heavy luggage you'll be dragging it up some stairs. It's quite dirty and there is a gap under the cabin curtains so no complete privacy. There was also a sock left hanging on top of the curtain, presumably from the previous guest that slept in my bed. If you have an upper bed, the wooden stairs are slightly broken on the side so there's risk of getting splinters if you're not careful. Powerpoints are indented so any big bulky travel adapter you have won't fit, and you'll have to buy a small one that can accommodate for your big adapter at reception. There are also no lockers for your belongings.
To get a towel you had to pay a rental fee. The shower facilities weren't that great, with things broken.
Check-in was also quite slow, as I waited 30 minutes in line. Recommend you leave your luggage at the reception area and go do whatever you need to do and come back later when you're free.
Owner was also openly vaping in the building.

Trevlig personal. Bra ställe om man vill hitta vänner. Hostelet har bbq night, kareoke night och liveband vilket var väldigt trevligt.
Rummen och duscharna var inte de fräschaste och renaste jag sett men ok för priset.
About 10minute walking distance to the nearest metro station.
It’s not spotless, but relatively clean.
The Lounge did have a bit of a smell situation going on.
Our stay was quiet as not many guests were occupying anyways.
