Major security issues and unclean. You can access the building without keys or passwords. There is no verification during check-in so you can access a list of people staying there that night. Someone else was accessing my locker so i had to sleep with my valuables. Rooms were cluttered and space limited. Beds may not be large enough for tall guests. Showers were slow to heat up. Do not reccomend.

The stay was excellent ! However they should have staff manning the front desk from opening of check in till close of check in . Instead of putting a sheet of paper out front with code to enter this should be sent in an email or text to each individual personally . Otherwise anyone can enter in the premises

Honestly, I loved it. 10/10 recommend and would do again. At no point did I have contact with a staff person. Everything was self explanatory and prepared ahead for you.

I ended up not staying in the hotel after seeing the poor conditions even I paid for it. It looks like they put a few bed in the middle of a construction zone. If you have a very limited budget, then it wouldn’t kill you to stay here but otherwise I wouldn’t recommend.

No customer service. Most of the times didnt have towels. But easy to get to and no other hassles. Not bad. Could definitely need more customer service on site

Capsules were clean, but the toilets and shower area never felt as clean as other hostels at the same price. Wasnt sure how often they were cleaned either. The first night the AC wasn't working either so it was really hot and uncomfortable in the room but they fixed it the next morning. Location is pretty close to subway and all the popular areas in seoul. Althought the hotel is in a random street with construction warehouses and stores next to it.

The bed was horrible, it's kind of dirty and messy everywhere in the place and one day I found my luggages and all my stuff on the ground because I used the wrong locker, the manager just let it here lol... I don't recommend it at all
