    The room and toilet was dirty, and we heard noise every night of the room above. (Maybe sexual commerce) the other things were ok.

    The location was good, the subway and buses were outside the building.

    The lighting was a problem. The AC was not good enough we were feeling very very cold. The bathroom was the worse. When you brush using the sink, the sink leakes water. The toilet was not flushing well completely. Was just dissapointed with the place. It looks extremely different from the picture

    The bed is what i liked.

    Its not really clean. I hope they clean the hostel up since it has a potential.

    The gentleman gave us a free room when we checked in. He is so nice. Its also in front of exit 2 and 3 of Sinseoldong Station and has a lot of restaurants and shops just beside it.

    The rooms were smelly. We were given three rooms and all rooms had foul smell. I cannot describe the smell but maybe because of the CR or the bedsheets? There were leaks from the sink in the CR and the aircon. The bedsheets also smelled bad. The airconditioning units do not function well. But our biggest complaint really were the foul smell of all the rooms that we had.

    The best thing about the property is that it is very near the subway station. The staff were also responsive and helpful.

    The beds didn't have proper bedsheets and many of the rooms do not have windows. The internet was also down sometimes and I had to wait long periods to be able to reconnect.

    It was very accessible with a metro station right in front of the entrance and the quality was good for the cheap price.

    The bathroom and room's air ventilation are poor, it causes mold and smell problem. The cleaning issue needs to be fix for better services.

    The bed is comfortable and clean. the location is convenient for travelling. The price is affordable.

    The room was full of insects, the elevator to the room felt unsave. Mold everywhere, found an used condom on the ground. I got out of there as soon as possible. Insane!! Honestly I have been to many hostels before. And it was so bad it made me laugh. Though I doubt many people would be laughing in my situation. I'm 19 and my room is cleaner.

    Nothing.

    There is NO RECEPTION here. We waited someone to come for about 20 minutes, then she said the room we booked is in repair. And the lobby (if u could call it as a lobby) seemed so dirty, we could imagine the rooms. We had to move another hotel of them without extra fee, but it was so dirty too.

    Easy to reach subway, nothing else

    There was manure on the side of the elevator and we had to run every time (without breathing). The stairway was locked so there was no other option. Upon arriving on our floor from the elevator, there were still stairs so it was confusing and unsympathetic with our luggage. There was also no one around to aid us if we needed help. We waited for the call when checking in. Upon answering, they just instructed us to get one of the keys exposed right in front of us - this could've easily been sent as a text.

    Near the bus/subway stations, and near the convenience stores. Laundry was also very useful. The kitchen wasn't that helpful since there was only 1 set of utensils and the refrigerator reeked.

    Booked a standard room, but was given a bunk bed room, suspected because the room I booked wasn't being clean. The bunk bed room toilet wasn't clean, it had the women's blood stains that I'm the one that is cleaning it! The hot water temperature was unadjustable, the water was too hot! The washroom's outdoor surroundings were dirty, dark stains (it meant a long time never cleaned) it's quite disgusting that I dont even wanted to look at it and take photos. The next day they helped me change the room and the toilet doesn't even have a basin!! U can imagine urself how's bad experience for ur other routine's tasks without a proper basin. And the person said not all rooms have basins like shown in the photo. It is considered dishonest that the hotel didn't indicate that and didn't demonstrate proper photo. The toilet door was old and moulded. but at least it is clean. The corner inside the room showed dust and dark stains like the previous room. Whereby this time the blanket made my body itchy, I couldn't sleep well. Yet 6plus morning awakened by the main road traffic noise and couldn't fall back asleep! Dissapointing! Yet I paid a more expensive price than my other hotel that I'm gonna to give good rating and recommend. Totally not worth

    Only the location is good. Other than that, nothing is good

    Disgustingly dirty bathroom and very run down place

    The bathroom was extremely dirty and the room was very unpleasant to look at in general concerning furniture and interior design (there was non). Everything was just thrown into the room to be functional. The sink in the bathroom didn't have plumbing so the used water was draining out the bottom where you were standing with your feet and then the water was flowing into the drain in the middle of the bathroom. Furthermore, it didn't seem like the bathroom had been cleaned in a while. There was built up scum on the tap, the shelves with the provided shampoo and body wash, walls, and door. The toilet seemed to be relatively clean though. Rest of the bathroom was in a disgusting condition. Hair on the walls. A random broken window frame of some sorts standing on the floor in a corner. Very very run down in general.

    I could leave my luggage at the reception (not occupied, had to call them via provided phone) and staff brought it later to my room as I was early for check in. Convenient location as it was right next to a subway station. Streets with lots of cheap markets close by. Half an hour walk to Naksun Summit including parts of the Seoul City Wall trail.

    As I know I already paid in advance. But it didn’t push thru. Once I arrived the stuff asked me the money, After I paid she told me that the bathroom is under renovation and have to move to other hotel Which mean was bad. Why she didn’t tell me before I pay. So I can choose my own place. Anyway. I saw the comment before She had the same thing, But I just didn’t listen to her.
