    The dorm was very loud, many female guests did not respect the rules about the night time, the staff could have enforced it better.

    Location is really good. Kitchen is well equipped. Enough space to keep your belongings (in a dorm), mattress was comfy.

    I stayed about 6 nights and I didn't see the bathrooms areas cleaned in that time. People had annoyingly left nubs of soap in the shower plus hair clumps (ugh) and they stayed until my last morning.

    Breakfast was simple but plentiful. Bread and peanut butter/jam or noodles and coffee. Take your own teabags. Good location . The rooms were small capsules but at least gave a bit of privacy. Helpful information from the guy on the front desk.

    Spider web for my 6 day stay in toilet. Also shower walls look like they've never been cleaned for a long time. Butter not tasty and stuck to inside of mouth.

    Friendly staff and other guests. Loved having plentiful breakfast and use of a kitchen to keep me going through busy sightseeing during the day. Great view and clothes drying racks on the roof area. Access to lots of things nearby.

    The rooms walls were very very thin and we were unfortunately unable to sleep due to other travelers loud and disrespectful behavior.

    The property was nicely located with a nice view on the N Seoul Tour. The room was clean and comfortable with a private bathroom. The canteen was very convenient as well et we could store our luggage after checkout without hassle.

    The room is small and a bit old. There is a washing machine but no dryer (Laundry can be hung on dry racks on the roof). Breakfast consisted of ramen and bread with "butter", jam and coffee. The coffee and butter are horrible, I don't recommend it.

    The hostel is very close to the subway, bus stop, GS25 and Myeongdong food street. The towels are small but you can change them daily. On the roof it's like in the pictures.

    The ladders to the top bunk were a bit slippery. Luggage boxes were good for one large checked bag but if you have an additional carry on it needs to be kept outside the luggage storage box.

    Everything was organized when we got there. Anything we needed was easily accessible either at the hotel or within walking distance of the hotel. Bathrooms and showers were cleaned everyday and in separate rooms which was a thoughtful setup. Very good stay for a dormitory.

    It was ok.

    Breakfast was provided - that was just a toast, sweet jam, peanut butter and some butter. Coffee was there but had a flavour and I personally dislike sweet things so the whole breakfast did not work for me at all. There was 1 cup of ramyeon per person, I have not tried that, that is true but would still appreciate more choices for breakfast. The bed itself was way too little. I have stayed at different capsule places but this one was way too little. On another note, which is not the fault of the owner but the irresponsibility of the other people sleeping next to me, one girl has left her clothes around. It was messy and absolutely unacceptable as it was the way for other people how to get out of the room, I have asked her to put it away which she did for one night, then the mess was back again.

    Friendly staff.

    The kitchen shelters and showers could be better cleaned. Anyways it not only relies on the hostel. My roomies didn't clean the shower properly after using it.

    The stay was very nice, the space in the bed space/room was comfortable and I had good sleep. The location is super close to the subway, to shopping streets and also to Seoul tower's mountain, so if you like to do some workout it's great to go walking to the top They have free cloth washing service and it was great, also there are tenders on the rooftop. The staff was helpful and kind.
