Great Hostel
Great hostel for my week in Seoul. The location was very central to many tourist spots and very walkable. The host was kind and provided a nice breakfast each morning consisting of eggs, bread, fruit and juices at no additional cost. The room was a bit small and older, but well within expectations for the price point. I felt safe and would stay again!

Great service, great location for a good price
The location could not be better, itโs right at the insadong street. The rooms are in good condition. The room I got even had tv and our own washroom. Cleanness was good for hostel standards. The kitchen might look overwhelming but the breakfast was really good. The owner is a really nice guy and was always making sure people had what they needed

Pros: location, cost, rooftop, rooms have ac
cons: rooms are tiny for 4 people. bathrooms had visible mold
Alles sehr zu frieden. Hostel ist in der Stadt. Fast alle Sehenswรผrdigkeiten sind zu Fuร zu erreichen. Kakao Mapp, und Google Mapps helfen einen sehr gut durch die ganze Stadt. Taxi sind hier finde ich sehr gรผnstig.
Hostel Einzelzimmer fรผr Solo perfekt aussreichend.
Grรผรe an den Besitzer der immer freundlich und hilfsbereit war, grรผรe an die Katze.
Comfortable, clean and very well situated. The rooms have little extras, like a bedside lamp and multi plug access by the bed, hangers and rail, and it's quite spacious. The surrounding area is charming with a wide selection of restaurants and it's on the doorstep of the city center. I will definitely stay again when in Seoul.
