It's perfect stay, highly recommended to everyone with super affordable price and definitely will come back. The receptionist was really friendly, helpful and speaks fluent English. Strategically located near to the Seoul Flea Market. You can cook here and breakfast is served at 9am.

The location is very close to Sinseoldong Station and the airport bus ride and ride. the price is also very cheap. Just unfortunately there is no elevator so it's rather troublesome for those carrying big luggage.

The heating is only warm, the hairdryer is off, breakfast is just bread jam and milk or orange juice, a strategic place, close to everywhere.

I rent 1 private single bed and private bathroom. Very clean hostel, Oppa who has a hostel helps lift luggage up to the floor. 3. The kitchen is available for cooking. And in the morning there is breakfast toast. brown rice is also available. Close to the Sineway subway exit 11. If the bus stop from the airport gets off in Dongmyo take a bus 6002 for 10,000 won. I will stay at this hostel again if I come to Selul.

The hostel is comfortable to stay, rooms and washroom also clean. The Kitchen also have full equipment to cook. Nearest station is Sinseol-dong and can reached by walking. Restaurants and mart also close. The most important is the staff really helpful and kind.

Actually, the place is quite hard to be found by me. But the place is a comfortable hostel for those who don't really enjoy sharing bedroom as me. There's kitchen, washer and dryer, and in my room there are refrigerator and heater.

I can recommend this Hostel since it’s too convenient location. It’s a 3-5mins walk to the Sinseol-dong station. Also, it’s a quite near to most tourist spots in Seoul. I love my one bedroom as well, and it’s conformable, yet I shared the comfort room with the other guests. Everything was convenient to me, and you can also find affordable restaurants around the area. The landlord was smart, and accommodating. Moreover, the landlord refunded me some amount since I checked-out early. (Stayed last Oct. 31 – Nov. 3, 2019)

Strategic place, close to Dongdaemun, the room I rented is on the 3rd floor, 2 beds, wc inside and there is a small fridge, the first 3 days the air conditioner on the 3rd floor is damaged, the heat is asking for forgiveness even though the fan is provided, the light goes on, the bed is uncomfortable , after the shower flooded dry immediately, after the 3rd day a new service worker could come, the AC was repaired and improved, only it still felt a little hot, the AC was not cold, so that the fan was always turned on, the oppa was friendly, help we ride the suitcase to the room, the kitchen equipment is quite complete, can cook rice and others, there is an iron and washing machine, and get a free breakfast.

Mr Lee is a good host. He carefully makes sure we got everything taking care of. The place is clean and fully equipped. The downside is the wall is too thin... but it is fine...

The room is clean, the toilet is clean, there is shampoo, soap and conditioner, the oppa gues house is really good. For locations, it's not like in Myeongdong or Hongdar, which has a lot of street food, only overall is satisfied. There were no drunk people at night (when I saw the Hongdae I found the manbok the problem). Only we can use 1 bus to go to Myeongdong and Hongdae. It's okay. I love it and will stay here again if it's in Korea alone.

love the ambience here. I stayed at female dorm bed and there is window to look through the outside, it was good. I felt so comfy in my room but the breakfast start at 8.40am, it was too late for me, so I always skip breakfast. Unstable water heater was the big problem here I think overall I still have a good time here. Thank you.
