+ My room is hygienic, spacious for the price and smells good. + The bed is super comfy that i had pleasant sleeps every night + My private bathroom also clean, spacious, got hot water, they provide toothpaste, shampoo, body wash n conditioner. They even provide toothbrush ready for you in the 1st floor in case you didn't bring any. + There were also small towel and big towel in 1st floor for free to use. + My room got a window which is very pretty scenery outside when the snow were falling especially. It is a little cold but you can adjust it by your own since there is portable heater in the room. I even opened the window every morning for ventilation purpose. The owner is super kind enough always making sure if my room is super cold or not, and gave extra bed heater thank you 👍🏻 + There is also mini fridge, TV with 60+ channels 😂, and hair dryer in the room. The WIFI also have a strong connection, the best ! + Can do a laundry in 2nd floor which is a very plus mark here considering the price of the room compared to other guesthouses with no washing machine. You can pay a small fee in the money coin box to use washing machine and the dryer. They got 3 washing machines and 1 dryer. They even prepared the detergent for you. Very cool isn't? + The kitchen, it was almost like at home, there are stove, microwave, water dispenser, rice cooker, toaster, coffee maker, blender, all sort of pots n utensils, plates, bowls, mugs and so on. Can cook and use the utensils without worry, and made sure to wash our dish before leaving the kitchen ! It's common sense hehe. Manners maketh man. Simple breakfast like bread, jam, instant coffee also prepared. Make your own toast with a cup of coffee. The kitchen is a shared place to meet other guests from around the world. I made a lot of friends in the kitchen hehe + The owner and the staff are very kind and helpful. They will try to give you the best and comfort accommodation. + The location itself is very strategic.

The LOCATION. Was sooo close to almost ALL the places I wanted to go. The stations was a good 2-3 minutes walk .Bus stops are close as well. Area was laid back but very comfortable with convenience stores around. There's a Daiso 10 min walk away for essentials, a folk flea market nearby .A very convenient train station green ,ue and briwn line that will connect different ways.For the 5th time, It was by far the best place I've ever stayed in Seoul. The hostel is an old building so it is expected to have wear and tear. good enough for the price I've paid. It is however complete with all a traveler needs like iron, hairdryer, kitchenette, with coffee ,jam.and bread, tho lasted.only 2 days,but still better than nothing.they only refill bread once a week😁😘. Fridge . Thye also provided with shower towels and BEST PART- Feet towels . Love this so much as I dont like walking in wet feet after shower. There is a box of wet wipes in the kitchen to use in wiping the table, again a PLUS for me. With all its Imperfection still loved staying here. And will.come.back 100%

It is a Hostel and not a Hotel. So, we should expect the facilities as per hostel and not compare with a hotel. It has not promised breakfast but you have the liberty to prepare your breakfast as per your taste. In the shared bathrooms, they have provide the best quality hair wash and body wash lotions and the best bath soap. They keep proper stock of towels, the tooth brushes and toothpaste tubes ready for the use of guests. The kitchen is well equipped with a Rice Cooker, Micro oven, coffee machine and much more.

Excellent - with the price that I paid, I absolutely recommend this place for a backpackers or someone who want to travel for self-discovery. The place are quiet and very safe even in the middle night. For my booking, I didn't have a breakfast included but don't worry, there's nearest CU mart at there. Just 5 min walking. The room are nice, with the price that I paid, I didn't expect too much. Just wanna go back to the room and rest after a long journey do sightseeing,

The receptionist Thai girl was really nice and supportive, she even helped carry the suitcase for my friend. The location was great, just a 2-minute walk from the bus stop (you can take the airport bus from here) and a 4-minute walk from the metro station. I actually preferred the private room that didn't have an en suite bathroom over the one that had. They even offered free laundry service. I had a really nice stay here. Thank you <3
