Reviews

  • Irina from Ireland (8/10)

    We had a great stay, the hostel is located near the subway,and there are plenty of shops around. Reception staff really nice. The rooms were big enough.

  • Jana from Slovakia (8/10)

    Breakfast was simple (eggs, butter, jam, toasts) But good to have possibility to eat on premises.

  • Rachelle from South Africa (7/10)

    The location was good – right between two good subway stops. The check in was easy and quick. The amenities in the room were good – having clean towels, shampoo, a fridge and a kettle are always appreciated! The view and variety of restaurants in the area were amazing though and I really appreciated that after a long day of travel.

  • Supisara from South Korea (9/10)

    Great location
    Staff was friendly and helpful
    The room is bigger than expected (You can open up 2 luggages)

  • Johnray from Philippines (9/10)

    I love that the location is near to tourist spot and near to bus station and subway.

  • Milosava from Australia (7/10)

    It was a short walk to the metro. Elevator access. Quiet and clean. Breakfast was a choice of eggs, toast or cereal and make your own soup and coffee/tea. Enough to get you going.

  • Alexander from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The hotel is very easy to use. The price is fantastic and the location is great. The place felt very cleaned and the breakfast was great. Shower stuff was good too.

  • Rhonda from United States (9/10)

    I liked the eggs and toast I could make for breakfast when I woke up in the morning.

  • Loshinee from Malaysia (8/10)

    I had a comfortable stay, value for money. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was simple more towards western breakfast and we had to fry our own eggs. It would have been better if they could make it for us for safety reasons when using the stove. Overall, this is still a great place to stay when in Korea as the pricing is reasonable and easy access to train station.

  • Ethan from United States (7/10)

    Very good value for the money, hotel offered free breakfast and water refills and decent amenities for our budget. Check in and check out processes were intuitive and staff was accomodating when I told them we were checking out early.
