Great service, great location for a good price
The location could not be better, it’s right at the insadong street. The rooms are in good condition. The room I got even had tv and our own washroom. Cleanness was good for hostel standards. The kitchen might look overwhelming but the breakfast was really good. The owner is a really nice guy and was always making sure people had what they needed

하룻밤 자기에 큰 문제는 없었지만... 다음에 또 이용하지는 않을 것 같습니다. 주차가능이라는 표시가 주차비를 내야하는 건지는 몰랐어요. 그렇게 비싸지는 않았지만... 숙박비가 저렴하니 감수해야 하는 거라고 생각하다가도...비슷한 가격에 다른 좋은 곳에 머물렀던 경험이 있어... 몇 자 적습니다.

Comfortable, clean and very well situated. The rooms have little extras, like a bedside lamp and multi plug access by the bed, hangers and rail, and it's quite spacious. The surrounding area is charming with a wide selection of restaurants and it's on the doorstep of the city center. I will definitely stay again when in Seoul.
