Friendly host
The host was super nice and friendly, when I came out of my room he always asked if I wanted tea or coffee! Also on certain days there is free ramen for breakfast that the host makes for you! Also made a friend here that I traveled a little with!

Old and very cute, quiet, friendly and welcoming! And the area is absolutely perfect if you like a calmer environment but still want to be close to transportation, city, and tourist life. Main station and buses are incredibly quick to get to but the hostel is still far enough away where you can retreat to tranquility after a long day. I wish their was just a little bit more utilities and a tiny bit cleaner? there was only one washer and no dryer, but I can’t complain as a laundromat is just down the street and you can dry your clothes outside on drying racks if there’s no weather troubles (I was here during monsoon season)! I chose the private room, and it was wonderful and very spacious, definitely made for more then one person, I was incredibly comfortable, my sheets were a bit rough but I had a wonderful room, peace & quiet, close to hongdae, kind staff, and a roof over my head for a great price. Truly cannot complain and would highly recommend :D

Absolutely loved staying here! The hostel is cute and the staff are friendly. The owner was super sweet with his recommendations and directions! I also thought it was so nice that he’d bring local fruit for breakfast and serve it. It was lovely!

Bunk bed wasn’t comfortable and somehow you hear the sound of unfixed bed all night when people turning around especially if you have over bed

Amazing except for the one woman who works there
This place was AMAZING, except for the young German woman who works there. She hates Americans and makes it very obvious. She will openly complain about Americans right in front of you. She’ll be very abrasive with you and then turn around and be super warm to the next person. The worst part, however, is the way she will dismiss you if you try to engage in the conversation. I tried to engage and she was extremely rude about it, essentially just went “hm” and then ignored me after that. Just avoid that one if you’re American. She should not be working at a hostel.

Super plek voor de sociale reiziger
Super fijn hostel met gezellige gasten en medewerkers. Iedereen kan Engels. Zeker een aanrader als je in Seoul verblijft en het leuk vindt om contact te zoeken met andere reizigers! Top locatie, op loopafstand van hongdae.

Une super guesthouse, à 10min à pied de tout (restaurants, transports, magasins...) dans le quartier de Hongdae mais dans une rue au calme (attention ça monte !)
La guesthouse est super mignonne et accueille environ 25 personnes tout au plus, donc pas de soucis pour les douches et toilettes partagés. Le propriétaire est adorable, propose café ou thé chaque matin. Niveau sécurité rien à dire et l'ambiance est vraiment incroyable, on s'y sent tellement comme à la maison que j'ai fini par y travailler quelques temps 😁

Really warm and welcoming place to stay. I wouldn't say you're staying in the lap of luxury, we slept on futons that were acceptably comfortable, and the wifi worked *mostly*, but everyone we talked to was very friendly and open and out on adventures. Plus, I think that having a hostel with an intentional "while you're here, you're winding down and hanging out, not partying" vibe was a welcome break and helped us actually get a good night's sleep on our futons! All in, I would stay here again when I go back to Seoul.

Good location
Staff are very friendly! They really make you feel welcome and at home. The owner cooks a free lunch once a week and it's really good !! You can do your laundry for free which is a great plus. Heated floors are so cool ! The social room which has books for you to read and maps to use is a nice spot to hangout and relax or be lazy..(: staff is also super helpful on things to do, any help u need really.
