The staff were extremely helpful and the room was very convenient. Walking distance to many of the local shops and night life in Seoul Hongdae. You will hear the street noise as this is surrounded by clubs, bars, shopping and eating establishments, so bring ear plugs. Great location.

Nice location but too loud

Really nice staff and great location, but the quality of sleep was almost non existent. My room was second floor right next to the main road. I’ve stayed in hostels all over the world but the noise in the room here was the worst I’ve experienced. Wouldn’t return simply due to this.

Perfect spot for a couple wanting to explore the city. Only needed the hostel to sleep, shower and do laundry and it was the perfect size/had all necessary amenities. A little small but that was all the space we needed! Very walkable, near subway stations and a 15 min walk to Hongdae shopping street
