Poor service
Nothing like what it showed in the pictures. I was very disappointed with the front desk. This male staff with the tattoo is very rude as I had some questions to ask.Actled he is letting me stay there for free and doing me a favour.

Clean and good but a bit inconvenient
The hostel was okay, but the reasons I decided to move to another hostel were: toiletries were watered down, guest towel cabinets were empty, no electric outlet at my bed (not any extension cord). Apart from that the room and bed were pretty clean, and other travelers were friendly and easy to talk to! This hostel has a communal area to hang out, making it easy to make new friends. The train station is one minute from the hostel, and it’s really easy to get to anywhere around Seoul.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was having huge fun for my first solo trip. I used their share room and it’s quite good, having lockers for every bed. All room doors are using password instead of keys. It’s good for backpackers or people who travel alone, a good chance to make friends with people from other countries. They got both local staffs and foreign staffs. They are so friendly and helpful. They will also invite us to join activities with other guests. And don’t forget, Ocean is the nicest Korean guy I’ve ever met in Korea;)
