Very affordable. Very close to Jongno 5 ga subway station. Walking distance to Hyundai City outlet Store. With convi stores nearby. The only problem is that we stayed on the 5th floor and if you have heavy luggages they don’t have an elevator. They offer free coffee all day. Breakfast is free.

Upon arrival the staff welcomed us with a local snack. We arrived a couple hours early and they were accommodating and we were able to get to the room super fast. We had two rooms, one on the 2nd and one on the 5th. Despite the walk up, I really enjoyed our 5th floor room. We were only there for one night but it was more accommodating than other places we have been. They even held our luggage after checkout and give us a goodbye treat!

Its in a convenient area due to its proximity to dongdaemun market, insadong, ikseongdong, and cheonggyecheon stream. However, the area around the hostel is quite creepy at night. While korea is generally safe, I felt more uneasy in this area. Otherwise the hostel itself was clean, breakfast was decent and the rooftop is super cute. I stayed in a private room, which had a nice large bathroom, big bed and the AC worked well. However, there wasnt a lot of floor space for my luggages or anywhere else to store my things to organize myself during my stay. Also, the lack of an elevator was quite exhausting being up on the 4th floor, dragging my heavy luggage. Staff were very kind and helpful in getting my luggage up the stairs though!

コスパの良い宿泊施設でした。東大門も近くアクセスは良いですがホテル周辺の環境はあまり良くはありませんのでお子様連れや若い女性のグループにはおすすめしません。価格を抑えて寝るだけとお考えの方には最高です。

我覺得很棒！

熱水非常燙（太燙）冬天的話不用擔心 雖然是上下舖，但是睡得很好 唯一比較辛苦的是搬行李上下樓，但是staff非常親切友善，幫忙了我們。 另外，5樓的公共空間非常棒 比較可惜的是，居住的地方靠近紅燈區，晚上需要留意下，但是我們沒有遇到什麼危險，不需要太緊張。

スタッフの皆さんは、とても優しくて親切でした。部屋の中も清潔でした。ただ、エレベーターがなかったので大変でした。リムジンバスや地下鉄の駅も近くて、便利は良かったです。余談ですが、五階に共有スペースがあるのですが、私たちが泊まった時、夜中の1時過ぎから、十数名が大騒ぎしていて、眠れませんでした。共有スペース内に注意書きなどがあるといいなと思いました。
