The accommodation is clean and has an excellent location next to the airport bus stop as well as the local subway station. It's a 2 minute walk from many shops, restaurants and coffee shops that stay open late. My room was a little cold at times due to the draft in my room.

It had a nice atmosphere with Miss Sea running around. The one bed room I stayed in felt like a dorm room, but it was sufficient. The shower was clogged with hair when I was there...I had to unclog it myself, otherwise it would have flooded the kitchen while in the shower. Everyone was friendly :)

Great location, very helpful staff, wonderful value for money. Some guests in our room were very loud, partying at 3:00 AM and waking up other guests. Not the hostel staff's fault, but we were somewhat annoyed. Room was also very hot.

Stayed here once in the mixed dorm which was great. Nice and quiet. I also stayed in one of the doubles but the walls are paper thin so you hear a lot of noise and the rooms are a bit boring. Go hang out in the lounge and meet some people! Excellent location near subway and popular tourist spots. Airport bus stops right outside. Staff are fun and speak English well.

We booked the ensuite room for 4 person.The room was spacious and the LCD tv in our room was huge.But the toilet was tiny.But its fine I guess since we spent most time out.Mr Sea was very friendly and so is the other staff :) Location was great.Just 5 mins walk to the subway station and alot of shops and cafes around.Theres also the cinema just across the hostel.We end up watching a midnight movie there :) Hopefully we get to visit Seoul again.Thank you for the great hospitability!

The hostel was very clean and the staff is so friendly. The location (Line 4) is a big plus. You can get to almost anywhere is Seoul easily from the location. I wish the bathroom was downstairs with the rooms and not upstairs. If you don't like cats, then I advise you not to stay here. I am afraid of cats so they made sure to put to cat away when I came in and out. They make you feel welcomed. The staff is EXTREMELY nice and accomidating. I stayed in the 7-bedroom mixed.

Hostel is in good location but needs cleaning;) hostel welcomes you with clutter in the reception area. Though it wont matter in the end, it would be nice to have a good 1st impression;)
