- junga (9/5): - 위치도 좋고 직원도 친절해서 편안하게 쉬다 왔어요. 다시 방문 의사 있구요. 앞으로 자주 이용하게 될 것 같아요. 화장실 및 샤워실 사용이 조금 불편했고 이불에 이물질이 묻어 있었는데 세탁이 깨끗이 안된 것 같아요. 아니면 지지않은 얼룩이거나요. 그래도 사용하는 입장에서는 좀 그랬어요.

- ＡＫＩＨＩＲＯ (10/5): とても良かったです - リーズナブルな価格とスタッフの対応が親切でした 宿泊している方々と交流、情報交換ができとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました
- Christine (5/5): It’s okay, probably wouldn’t return. - Helpful staff. Nice people. 1-bedRoom is spacious enough. Can eat in your room if you prefer. Could lock the door, made it feel more secure tbh. You get a new towel every day (small face towels). On my bed was foreign hair and even (toe)nails. Disgusting. Couldn’t trust the cleanliness. The bed was uncomfortable, could feel every bed spring.
- Houda (8/5): Good value for money - The hostel is clean and near bus and metro stations. The staff is nice and helpful, the reception guy (I can’t remember his name, apologies) was very lovely and helped me in numerous occasions. I’m very grateful for that :D They give you clean towels (although they’re small size, so bear that in mind) and there is also ear buds if you need them. I had a private room and it was perfect for me for my stay. It’s a great place to stay, but sadly there are some negative points, and these are: - Only 1 kitchen stove to cook things on, which means that you almost never get a chance to cook your stuff unless you’re super lucky or go at non peak times. -The common area (the kitchen) is very very small. - Showers. So the toilets and showers are aerated which is great, but there is basically 1 shower per gender per floor, which means same things as the stove, if it’s busy then good luck on waiting on your turn (-.-)” - Thin walls, you can hear literally everything at all times.

- Yoshio (8/5): 安かった、でも眠れなかった - 立地、共有設備、金額 部屋のエアコンが壊れていて暑くて眠れなかった。 ドミトリータイプのベッドにカーテンが無い。
- Shunsuke (5/5): 価格なり。 -
- ERINA (6/5): Good - Cheap. Not good air conditioning.
- Tomoko (7/5): お値段安いし、スタッフの方も良かったです。キッチンでは異文化交流できて楽しかったです。 - 安いし駅から近い ベッドが狭くて少し動いてもキシキシ音がなる。 上の方か下の方が動けばベッドも揺れます。 オンドルなのか暑くてずっと半袖でした。

- David (8/5): Limpio, agradable y lugar muy social - Un lugar limpio, con personal muy amable, atento y cercano y una zona común dónde coincidir con otras personas, huespedes o viajeros. En mi viaje por Corea fue de los pocos lugares dónde encontré algo parecido. Recomendable. Puede que el barrio de Gangnam quedé un poco lejos del centro de la ciudad, aunque el transporte público de Seoul funciona tan bien que tampoco es nada muy grave.

- Yuria (8/5): お得に泊まれた - 人柄がみなさんよかった 特になし
- Miho (8/5): 雰囲気に慣れたらアットホームな感じが楽しい - ・スタッフの方が親切 ・タオルを貸してもらえる ・部屋自体の鍵はないが実家や寮のようや雰囲気があるため、意外とセキュリティー面の不安は感じなかった。 ・ベッドの軋む音や振動が結構する
- Thibaud (10/5): -
- Yinyin (7/5): - 如果剛好有下舖的位置 很棒。很便宜也有電梯，附近也有便利商店 浴室窗外不能關起來
- Frank Bruno (6/5): - Location ist great to explore Gangnam and Tim Horton Coffee Shops. Look Out for HQs from Hyundai, Samsung Electronics and Beauty Clinics. Living room IS perfect to meet and Exchange with new interesting people, locals and travellers.

- Samia (3/5): - Le personnel et l'emplacement. Si vous aimez la propreté je ne vous recommande pas cette hostel. L'hostel est nettoyer qu'une seul fois par jour à 11h. Mais l'hostel à vraiment besoin d'un coup de frais. Je sais bien que ce ́n'est pas un 5 étoiles mais tous même un peu de ménage ne fait pas mal. Pire hostel de ma vie est pourtant j'en ai fait à travers le monde.. Moisissure dans la salle de bain et dans les chambres. J'ai fais un piège pour voir comment été nettoyer les salles de bain à mon arriver juste avec mon savon sachez que la marque est toujours présente une semaine après.. jusqu'à mon depart je reviendrai surment l'an prochain juste pour voir si cette marque est encore la !^^ les lits ne sont pas confortable on peux sentir les ressort et pourtant je pèse 48kilos. Le sol en une semaine de temps de présence n'a jamais été laver nul part juste aspirer. Et je peux vous dire que je prête attention à ce genre de détail. Les draps on des tâches j'ai du faire double drap et selectionner un propre. Les murs ne sont pas épais on entends tous. Les personnes dans cette hostel ne sont pas toujours respectueuse une vieille dame coreene c'est permis de mettre mes manteau dans la salle de bain ou tous le monde passe se douche et donc tous le monde a pu mettre ses microbes dessus.. Les locaux sont donc autorisés même si je n'ai rien contre cela mais juste ou est le respect ? Bref à fuir. Juste l'emplacement qui est bien et le personnel.

- CAMBAS (6/5): Pour une pause de 4 jours ça fait le job - J’ai aimé qu’on est des serviettes à disposition, mais c’est tout. Niveau bruit c’est bien et le lit est confortable Le bâtiment est vraiment pas en très bonne état, souvent la salle de bain était salle à cause des cheveux. Niveau social : les gens ne parlent pas du TOUT, Première fois que je vois ça.

- Natassia (5/5): - Basic amenities such as shampoo, microwave and fridge. The metal coils from the mattress made it really uncomfortable to sleep. The smoke detector beeped during the middle of the night (needs battery replacement). Someone who worked at the hostel went into my room to tidy up during my stay, which was shocking because I was not told there was service cleaning, and I would have declined this service.
- Ryuichi (8/5): -
- Rhesa (8/5): - Clean. free towel
- Eyerusalem (10/5): -
- Pagels (10/5): -
- Julie (10/5): - They were very helpful, gave me directions, and made me feel safe.
- Higuchi (8/5): -
- Yun En (9/5): 如果剛好想去的地方是聖水、首爾林、江南、江東的話，我覺得這個地點非常適合！單人房的價位算是蠻便宜的！周邊機能也都滿方便，最讚的是有電梯可以搭不用扛行李上樓！ - 有電梯可以上下樓，有三間廁所可以使用，單人房空間不大但綽綽有餘，接待人員都很nice，附近有很多便利商店、餐廳、布帳馬車 機場到住宿的話到宣靖陵站比較方便，但宣靖陵站到住宿地點有個大上坡，拖行李的話會比較辛苦；但也可以選擇再轉乘至宣陵站會比較平緩一點～
- Arissara (8/5): -
- Shivanshu (10/5): Probably one of my favourite place in Korea to live. - The staffs & my most favourite table which is in Common Area. To leave the place. This place is like my home with so many friends.
- davaasuren (5/5): -
- Hayoun (10/5): -
- Sabrina (6/5): Good location but facility need to improve - Location is convenient There are two showers in one bathroom without separation, it’s like in military shower, you and another people will be sharing one bathroom shower together naked to naked. The smell comes from the restaurant nearby is quite strong. When I checked out of the hotel the lingering of greasy smell still on me.
- Allyn (10/5): 3rd stay, awesome as always! - My 3rd stay here actually! Really loved the afforable price and strategic location, I can reach here directly from the airport by the airport bus. Definitely will always be my go to stay when Im travelling solo / looking to save money!
- notuko (9/5): -
- Karen Marie (7/5): Good a one-day stop - Lots of shops nearby. Each bed had an outlet strip beside it. The staff was very helpful and was playing great music in the shared common area. The room I shared had the driest air and I couldn’t sleep properly cos the other guests didnt want to turn up the temp. The bathroom was spacious but could be cleaner.
- HONG YU (9/5): -
- Masato (6/5): エアコンがこわれている - 地下鉄の駅から近く、空港からのリムジンバスにも乗れる。付近の宿より安い。 部屋のエアコンが壊れており、まったく冷気が出なかった。また部屋や下駄箱に独特な匂いが立ち込めていた
- sandrine (5/5): - Location is great It was not clean and people were not respectful with the noise … I came back late in the night and the light was on and the door open and a girl was using the bathroom with open door noisily … I don’t know maybe it is important to remind some rules … I almost didn’t sleep . I came before in this hostel it was ok but this time … not easy . The bathroom is not super clean and it is not enough if there is lot of girls in the hostel but it is still a great value for money especially in this area
- arisa (9/5): -

- Teresa (6/5): This is a clean small bed to have in a very crowded area. Very affordable but common space EXTREMELY limited - It is a clean place to stay The common area was a single table. For the number of people staying it is inadequate. The option is to either be in your bed or outside the hostel. I wish i understood this before.
- Olivia (8/5): Very good -
- Flores (10/5): Exceptional -
- Timofei (6/5): Pleasant -
- Cinthy (10/5): Exceptional - We like The location, it was really good, close to the bus stop and two blocks to the train station. The hostel was nice and comfortable, easy for us, and to meet people from different countries. Although our stay was very short, the staff was very nice and kind, they made great our last day in Korea . 재혁(Jaehyuk) was very friendly, thanks for looking after our luggage ... Thanks, guys, for everything
- Noel (10/5): I will def stay here again - Jay at the check in made me feel welcome and understood. They let me borrow a lock for my locker. The space is very clean and the communal kitchen tends to tie everything together well. People are friendly and thoughtful.
- Tzu (4/5): Disappointing - the smell in the room
- Sherwood (8/5): Really good place for a great place. Only thing letting it down was the pillow provided. Very small thing to pick out ev - Easy to find, near local area. Quiet and clean. Pillows.
