noisy at night and the room door can not be locked, terrible security.

the staff is very friendly, he brought us to party the local way. The location is pretty close to the metro.

The front door was easily opened with a tug...it set off an alarm if you didn't put in the password after 10pm, but woke up guests.

The Hostel is very nice for its price...staff is friendly and helpful. the thing I missed a little is a place where all people meet. like a bar or something...the hostel has a kitchen, but you don't meet that many people there

This was my first experience at a hostel and I had the best time ever! Shin and company were phenomenal and I made many new friends! I recommend this hostel to anyone in the world who plans to go to Seoul, South Korea! Great location, walking distance from the massive subway system, you cant go wrong!

It was an AMAZING hostel for the price.

Not far from subway, but the directions online are wrong, no Family Mart for example on sight. Took over one hour to find the place with the help of friendly locals. Dormitories were overbooked in two nights, people slept on extra beds, room was then cramped. My friend had to move to mixed dorm (we had reservation to female dorm) but she got refunded because of that. Could be more clean. But staff was helpful and free drinking water was provided.

Great Hostel, the best place to have fun and meet many people. Good location near Honkig Univ line 2 of subway (good station to go everywhere in Seoul, to the Airports or Seoul train station), many restaurants, bars, clubs. Staff really really kind, thanks to them Shin, Sangye, Chris, Sophie and David.
