Guest Reviews
- Natalia (8/5): - Era muy tranquilo Me desapareció mi almohada de viaje y nunca tuve una solución con respecto a eso
- Thorstein (7/5): -
- Susanna (5/5): Ok - Personalen var mycket trevliga Lite låg standard
- Billstrom (8/5): -
- Zima (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix - Merci a tout le personnel. Ils étaient tous vraiment accueillants et réceptifs aux divers demandes. L’hôtel se trouve dans un quartier très chouette, on peut facilement rejoindre les transports en commun a pied ou marcher pour rejoindre un quartier pour les plus sportifs.
Les petits plus :
- un frigo pour vos courses + coin cuisine pour faire à manger
- gel douche et shampooing dans les douches
- un coin coiffure avec sèche cheveux
- la petite terasse
- des petits casiers qu’on peut fermer avec un cadenas
- le ménage est fait très régulièrement Les seuls points négatifs…
- seulement 3 douches pour plus de 25 personnes
- le toilette des femmes était souvent bloqué a cause du verrou
- les bagages qu’on doit laisser dans le couloir, c’est pas pratique
- Maxime (7/5): -
- Johanna Mahuth (10/5): - La ubicación es lo mejor. Puede ser extraña la caminata con la maleta desde el metro pero es cotidiano en Hondage Hay parada dell bus búho/ nocturno osea SIEMPRE facilidad completa incluso con parada del tren al aeropuerto y la estación de tren las instalaciones son básicas y funciona con TODO compartido incluyendo el turno para usar el baño Pero no resulta problematico considerando ubicación y costo Del hostal nada. Solo que algunos huéspedes chinos usan el lavaplatos para lavar los dientes Pero si se les indica que ahí no es, responden cordial y ajustan este comportamiento.

- Katrina (7/5): The owner of the property is kind . Its kinda messy but for just a night sleep its okay. and the kitchen has so many rul -
- Ekaterina (6/5): - очень близко к главному тусовочному району. шопинг и встречи с друзьями - единственное ради чего можно выбрать это место. персонал - а именно волонтеры, которые работают там отличные ребята, в большинстве своем дружелюбны и общительны. в целом все было ок. в соотношении с ценой - грех жаловаться. но кровати скрипучие, шумные, плесень в душе.
- Johanna Mahuth (10/5): - La facilidad para instalar y salir a vivir Seúl
- Nichapa (10/5): - ลงรถไฟLINE2 สีเขียว ที่สถานีHongik University ทางออก3 หรือ2 หรือ7ก็ได้ ทางออกไหนก็เชื่อมถึงที่พักสะดวก ใกล้ร้านอาหาร มินิมาร์ท ใกล้ร้านซักผ้า เดินไม่ไกล ใช้เเอพNAVER MAPS เเละมีครัวให้ทำอาหาร

- heziyu (8/5): -
- יהודה (8/5): - מקום זול ומסודר המקלחות לא נקיות ומרגישות כמו מאורת עכברים
אין מקום נורמלי לשים את הדברים בתא המקלחת וצריך לשים בחוץ (המקלחות מעורבות)
- かささぎ (7/5): - 安い。立地が良い。 管理が不十分。

- Lauren (6/5): Great budget friendly stop in convenient location, however not adequate/comfortable facilities if you’re looking for - You definitely get value for money - I recommend if you’re looking for an easy location that is super budget friendly. There were very few bathrooms and showers for how many rooms there are - only 3 communal toilets and showers. One shower has its on room with toilet, however the other two showers are just cubicles with curtains (no locks) in a mixed men/women bathroom. I was not comfortable using that bathroom as a solo female traveller. There are also not really any places to sit and socialise beside one couch, so I found it to be very quiet and people kept to themselves.
- CHENGHUA (5/5): 距離弘大入口走路5~10分,適合沒有大件行李的背包客 - 1)員工可用英語或日語進行溝通
2)check-in 和 check-out 可寄放行李 [ 有時間限制 ]
3)有簡單的廚房可開伙,可體驗自助式韓式料理 1)雖然是guesthouse,但房間的空氣流通不佳(入住時能聞到汗臭味)
2)出入口有高低差,對於搬運大件行李較麻煩
3)雖然廁所與浴室共用,但數量偏少

- Mitsunori (9/5): - 典型的なユースホステルという感じで及第点以上、特に不満を感じる部分は無かったです。 大きな荷物はドミトリー内に持ち込み不可で個別ロッカーなども無いようだったので、貴重品の管理や朝の準備・着替えなどは大変かもしれない。
- Giles (7/5): - The property was in an excellent location, with friendly staff. The common area smelt abit funny aswell as the towels being quite small.
- Maxwell Jenkin (7/5): -
- Angelica (8/5): Great value for your money - The staff were really friendly and it was close to the main station in hongdae The room had this really strong smell

- Vasilii (10/5): Я очень доволен - Мне понравился этот хостел , чистый, ухоженный, отличная кухня и удобства в номере. Белье было свежее, полотенце тоже . Персонал очень приятный и дружелюбный. Расположение просто супер, рядом с метро и в самом центре города . Всем рекомендую и буду рад приехать еще! Кровати в 8 местном номере расположены близко и ночью можно слышать храп других гостей.
- mery (10/5): Muy chevre todo - Atención del staff Poco
- Shigeyuki (7/5): 金浦空港近くで安く泊まれる宿 - 安い。地下鉄駅から歩いていけて近い。気楽に滞在できる。タオルが貸与される。 夕遅くベッドで寝ている人がいてもベッドルームで大声で電話している人がいた。トイレとシャワーが一緒にあり、どちらか使用されていると使えない。
- post behind 3 number (10/5): 方便 - 地理位置不错,性价比高
- Laurence (6/5): - Great staff and people and the location is nice! Beds weren’t as comfy and heard some facilities were missing like TVs or music systems.
- Pierre (8/5): -
- FENGTING (2/5): - The location is quite close to Hongdae, and there are plenty of food options along the way. My five female friends and I booked a 6-bed mixed dorm for the night. However, when I checked in, the host told me that I needed to stay in a 4-bed female dorm instead because someone in the 6-bed room “didn’t move out.” How is that even possible when I clearly booked and paid for that specific room for that date? As a result, my five friends had to use the mixed dorm with a guest who was not supposed to still be there. This arrangement was completely unreasonable, and the staff only said “there’s nothing we can do,” offering no solution, no explanation, and no compensation.
On top of that, the restroom door on the first floor was broken, making its use feel very unsafe.
- Alicia (8/5): - Very close to a metro station. Is clean and safe. Has a smoking spot.
- Mino (7/5): -

- C- (2/5): Dirty, mosquitos everywhere, a rude awakening to South Korean hostels. - It was cheap This hostel was poorly maintained, from having a toilet that constantly stopped up, the beds felt really rough to sleep on, and they had really bad mosquitos that kept sucking your blood when you went to sleep. Every time I woke up I had several mosquito bites and by the end of my stay here I was covered in them. I was also rudely awoken by someone who told me I was snoring too loud, which I’m unable to do anything about. If you’re going to stay at a hostel, don’t complain when people snore too loud because you chose to stay at a hostel where you run that risk. The only positive aspect is the staff, they were decent people. However, I will never stay at this hostel again, this was a bad introduction to hostels in South Korea. Your money is better served elsewhere, and you can certainly find cheap for better quality and location.
- Margarita (5/5): Дешево и очень плохо - Хорошее расположение, рядом метро и остановка автобуса до аэропорта, много магазинов и заведений, пешеходная улица и парк. В комнатах очень душно и неприятно пахнет. Возле кровати нет ни светильников, ни полочки, вообще ничего. На второй этаж неудобно подниматься, особенно с чемоданом, лестница опасная. Системы check-in и check-out как таковой нет, даже паспорт не проверяли, ты просто приходишь и кто-то из сотрудников-волонтеров отмечает тебя на листочке. Полотенца неприятно пахнут сыростью.
- Hiroki (7/5): nice - 街中でアクセスがいい。
