It's very good for a Budget, traveller, but um, for me I would not stay there any more since is quite noisy at night. The most remarkable thing is washing machine can be used without any cost.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Cheap, cozy, modern
The surrounding area is useless and lacks of any atmosphere. There are many Russian restaurants and bars beside only BBQ places. So if you are into western food or an evening stroll it's not fun. The room itself was small but modern and clean. The reception stuff always a bit sleepy and the breakfast minimalistic. At least there was a kitchen for us to use...

A very nice place to stay
The facility is very nice and clean. A bathroom is very clean. Water pressure is good; shampoo & body wash are provided. The staff and the owner are very nice and cordial. Your room can be cleaned upon request. Breakfast such as cereal, milk, a loaf of breads, jams, juice, and the like is daily provided. You can cook or do laundry. It's very close to a subway station. I am very satisfied except for the fact that the bed is so hard that I was basically sleeping on the floor. My back was killing me; I was in back pain all the time. The owner was nice enough to provide me a thick padding for my satisfaction, but it wasn't good enough. Other than that, I would recommend this hostel to anyone.

Great location, Great staff
The rooms are cozy with private bathroom. There are 3 floors and you had to take the stairs but the staff will help with the big luggages which is not a problem. TLThe down side is the towel is really small then again it u can grab more at the hostel lobby. The room is relatively clean great price and location.

Nice Hostel with convenient location.
Just 1 minutes walk from both Airport bus 6001 stop & Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station (exit 7). Very nice services (except the guy who speaks in PTH), willing to help for everything! More than reasonable facilities & recommend to those look for a budget stay.

Close to Subway
This hotel is so close to Dongdaemun History and Cultural Park Station, which contains 3 line of subway. This makes me able to tour around the city easier. It also very nearby to Dongdaemun Shopping area. You can take a stroll down the cheonggyecheon stream and shop in dongdaemun area on evening
