Nice place to stay, with good prices for a mix of rooms. Eccentric owner is a talking point, but he's friendly really - showed us where to find food.

Some people complain about the owner, but he's okay really - recommends local places to eat, can get you discounts on Nanta tickets. He cleans every day too. Dorms are a great price, Wi-Fi fast, free laundry, pretty easy to get to and nice guests.

Excellent location for starting visiting Seoul. One street away from the main night club street and good Korean restaurant near. And near subway station and bus stop to airport.

The guy is a nutcase,but he's alright.My advice is to avoid talking to him as much as you can as he goes on and on and on.Location seriously bang in the middle of hongdae clubs/bars and shopping. Only 1 shower, can't imagine how it goes in peak season.Kitchen is good,no bfast.Convenience stores/cafe/restaurants around.Yes it's in middle of Hogdae but tucked away in side street,so not full on if you are worried.Right next Nanta theatreif you can't find it.The place is clean and comfortable enough
