Very Good

A great option for travellers looking for an inexpensive stay in Seoul. It's conveniently right near Wangsimni Station and the staff are friendly. It's kind of a no-frills accommodation, but it is more than sufficient.
Good location for subway, walking distance. Clean area, had problem with toilet and sink but was fixed promptly. Free self serve breakfast was good! Easy check in/out.
Location okay, breakfast not according to expectations, bed uncomfortable, sorry, not worth the money.

I found it’s really convenient since the hostel is close to Sangwangsimni station (easy transportation to famous nearby attractions). The staffs were super friendly and helpful. Although the condition of the room and the property in general were quite average. Personally I don’t think it’s that clean considering I met cockroaches the moment I entered the room. But considering the location and the price, it’s actually a pretty nice place to stay in Seoul if you’re on a budget.
The staff there was so lovely and knew how to speak English well. A male worker (sorry I don't know his name) helped me weigh my luggage because I was not strong enough to lift it, which I appreciated a lot! For the price, I would definitely go back when I'm back in Korea. The room is also spacious for one person.
For a hostel it's great. AC worked great. Staff was great. Only your fellow traveller's don't adher to the 10pm quiet time. People would come and go til 3am in the morning.. Walls are paperthin
The front desk staff was very nice, knowing that I don’t speak much English, and even used a mobile phone translator to talk to me and let me understand the housing regulations and precautions. Thank you very much.
The property is suitable for young travelers on a budget. The room is spacious but the toilet is slightly small and might not be the best for the elderly. The European-looking staff was very kind and kudos to her for answering our questions patiently and helping us out with recommendations. However, the other Korean staff forgot about our request to make our room and was late opening the lobby for breakfast service.

Disliked: Staff & service
The room wasn't really clean and there were tiny black worms in the bath room. My daughters didnt like to take a bath because of the worms and there were no bath, it was just one shower in the toilet.
The accommodation itself is clean and tidy. There is regular cleaning in the general common areas and the garbage is put away. The staff at the counter is not fluent in English, but you always got what you asked for. The room was smaller than we thought or than it looked in the pictures. We were surprised when we found out that the sink in the bedroom is not an additional sink, but the only one in the room as there is no sink in the bathroom. We found that less clever. The bed was unfortunately quite hard to sleep on, so sleeping sideways on the shoulder often hurt the next morning. But overall you can not complain and it was a nice stay there.
Personal war hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Hostel war sauber, da wir im 10.Stock waren, war es sehr ruhig. Für den Preis hätte das Frühstück besser sein können.
Frühstück war ein selfservice. Musste man selbst zubereiten. Alles in einem bin ich sehr zufrieden
