8/10 Very Good

I like the private room I stayed and loved the location of the hostel. The staff were very helpful. The only thing is that some of the other lodgers were not very respectful of the other people including the staff. They were loud at night and were not following the hostel rules.
Verified Expedia guest review

2/10 Poor

If you like bed bugs then this is your place! When I first arrived I was given a bed in a dorm that was okay. The next day the woman in the other bunk was covered in bed bug bites. Then the staff removed my stuff without me knowing so that they could replace the mattress. The next day they “disinfected” the room. That smell made everyone so nauseous, but it went away after 3 days. Well two days later and I’m now covered in bed bug bites. Not to mention the staff didn’t only just remove my stuff without consent, they don’t clean ever, the owner is very passive aggressive, and the other staff members were quite inappropriate to many guest. The only good thing is the price

2/10 Poor

We were never greeted by the host, the shared space had an odd smell, and the bed frame fell apart when I sat in bed. There was paper in the sink and the bathroom was unisex with only a shower curtain to separate.

Clean. The manager is very kind and professional. I hope they implement a stricter after hours noise rule. Some people do not realize how easily the sound travels.

Staff left my laundry in the washing machine
Staff was suppose to put my clothes in the dryer but did not do so my clothes was left soaking in the wet which may damage my clothes. And i have to go to the laundry shop to get it dry. I was also late for my appointment because of this. They didnt do much to make up for their mistake but just apologize for it.

The only place to stay in Hongdae!!!!
This was the most amazing place I stayed at during my two weeks in Seoul! I was so sad to leave the hostel as the manager was so friendly and inviting to myself and my friends :) She even took my friend and I to a cultural event on my last day of staying at the hostel. I wished I had stayed here during my whole stay in Seoul. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Seoul.

不錯的選擇，價格便宜
廚房可以煮，這在韓國少見，韓國的青年旅館廚房通常只能煮水跟使用微波爐，但是很遺憾禁止烹煮蝦蟹貝殼類海鮮，相對於臺灣的價格，韓國螃蟹非常便宜，但是就是不能料理。 很多西方人，客廳也容易交朋友。
