    Bathrooms were pretty bad. About a 3-story stair case climb off the street to get to the top level, which was where I stayed.

    25M, 3 nights, 10-bed dorm. The hosts were very helpful. Rooftop was good when not raining. Very close to a very convenient 7/11. Downstairs common room was decent. Location quite good. Room was comfortable but air con could have been a tad more effective. Water bubblers on a couple of levels. Fridges on different levels was handy.

    It is true that the rooms are pretty small and dark and lockers loud^^

    The vibe for me was just right. The staff was super nice and I met some amazing people there.

    Good calm hostel in Seoul

    - the free breakfast consists of coffee, tea, toast bread, jam and peanut butter. No healthy options such as eggs or fruits are available - there is no working space - the common are can easily get busy with people chatting so if you're coming for remote work it's not your place

    This hostel is in the heart of Itaewon, close to the bars and restaurants but on a quieter street. It's social (you can meet other travellers in the check-in area or on the terrace but it's not a party place. Both Shrek and the girl working there are adorable and helpful. The dorms are cleaned daily and the guests are respectful.

    Lockers that are impossible to open without a loud noise. No proper kitchen (if you need one). The room door was never locked, same as the front door at night.

    Very friendly owner and staff! Good bed and ok breakfast. Good location. Good size lockers.

    The location was a bit shady I did not feel very safe being a woman, and there was no elevator and many stairs to climb so if you have heavy suitcases I would not recommend this place. The guesthouse looked a bit rugged and spooky and felt like I was living in a prison cell. It was not my taste. If you are looking for a safe, comfortable, and quiet place I don't recommend this place.

    The people were friendly and it was close to the metro station. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean.

    Socialising can be hit or miss, lots of social people at the hostel, but you had to be at the right place at the right time to find a group to go out with, not the biggest loss as Seoul is pretty easy/fun to navigate as a solo traveller.

    Great location, close to the station, walking distance to all the bars/clubs in Itaewon. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Rooms were cleaned regularly, Towels were available daily on request. Owner recommended a fantastic restaurant on my last day that was possibly my favourite meal of my whole trip.

    There is little social space at this hostel that is under cover, and the common area inside is small and doubles as the kitchen too.

    The location of this property is great, and the rooftop is amazing for having a drink in the evening and meeting people. I had such a sociable time at this hostel and Itaewon is a great neighbourhood.

    There was hair in the bedding from previous travellers, and the shared bathrooms consist of a single toilet and wet-room shower. 3/4 of us did not shower there, as the bathrooms had extensive black mould. We live in Korea, so we expect some mould, however, this was more than most of us felt comfortable with. Our floor had 4 bathrooms, to accommodate 4 rooms of 4 people each, along with travellers from a different floor - we were frequently waiting to use the bathroom.

    Close to a lot of Itaewon hotspots, nice Korean staff, lots of facilities (eg laundry machines, breakfast, common area, rooftop). For a 4 person dormitory, we paid less than 50,000KRW per person - this was the cheapest for an overnight trip, and why we chose this property.

    There are quite a few outdoor stairs to go up to the hostel and a set to go back down to the main lobby. Stairs to get to second floor rooms were very narrow but doable. The breakfast was very basic, cereal, toast and juice options but better than nothing! Bathroom didn't have a separate shower it was all the same open area as the toilet. There was a shower head that came from the sink so the whole bathroom got wet when showing. There was a set of flip flops in the bathroom to keep your feet dry if you needed the bathroom after a shower.

    Great price and location was good, near lots of bars and 5 minute walk from the subway station. Rooms were basic but all you need with a good sized locker. There are some outdoor lockers the reception will keep your stuff in before checkin or after checkout and it they are full they found room in the lobby area which was great.

    The histel is located in a very lively neighbourhood so you can go out simply by walking but you won't be disturbed by external noises once inside your rooms.

    the bathrooms were sometimes kind of dirty because the shower is in the middle of the room so the floor was sometimes wet.

    the beds were very comfortable and the privacy curtains were great. it also has a beautiful rooftop terrace

    It was very noisy, both the area (understandable for Itaweon) but also the hostel itself. There were loud conversations occasionally outside the dorm in the middle of the night at various occasions. The bathrooms/toilets could be a bit cleaner.

    Very close to the metro station, easy to find. The room and bedsheets rather clean and spacious.

    Not much space to store luggage, provided a small locker with key for valuables. If you don't like steps could be a problem if you're on the higher floors.

    Breakfast was simple but good because it was also free/very cheap. Bed was comfy, room was quiet, bed had curtains on it. Rooftop area was cool but it was winter, would be very cool in summer. Such friendly staff.
