    The room and toilet was dirty, and we heard noise every night of the room above. (Maybe sexual commerce) the other things were ok.

    The location was good, the subway and buses were outside the building.

    The lighting was a problem. The AC was not good enough we were feeling very very cold. The bathroom was the worse. When you brush using the sink, the sink leakes water. The toilet was not flushing well completely. Was just dissapointed with the place. It looks extremely different from the picture

    The bed is what i liked.

    Its not really clean. I hope they clean the hostel up since it has a potential.

    The gentleman gave us a free room when we checked in. He is so nice. Its also in front of exit 2 and 3 of Sinseoldong Station and has a lot of restaurants and shops just beside it.

    The rooms were smelly. We were given three rooms and all rooms had foul smell. I cannot describe the smell but maybe because of the CR or the bedsheets? There were leaks from the sink in the CR and the aircon. The bedsheets also smelled bad. The airconditioning units do not function well. But our biggest complaint really were the foul smell of all the rooms that we had.

    The best thing about the property is that it is very near the subway station. The staff were also responsive and helpful.

    The beds didn't have proper bedsheets and many of the rooms do not have windows. The internet was also down sometimes and I had to wait long periods to be able to reconnect.

    It was very accessible with a metro station right in front of the entrance and the quality was good for the cheap price.

    The bathroom and room's air ventilation are poor, it causes mold and smell problem. The cleaning issue needs to be fix for better services.

    The bed is comfortable and clean. the location is convenient for travelling. The price is affordable.

    The first room we got was dirty — the floor was messy and the fridge had old, rotten food. It was so bad I nearly vomited. After complaining, a cleaner was sent, but she spoke rudely, saying, “What do you expect for this price?” — very unprofessional. Thankfully, the lady at the front desk was kind and offered us another room. It was better than the first one, but still not great overall. Disappointed with the cleanliness and staff attitude, except for the receptionist.

    It's a little run down and needs a little renovation. Nothing out of the ordinary though.

    The heating bed! And it was really comfortable. Very small space but pretty cozy. The staff was really nice. It has a washing machine and a dryer in the common area as well as a microwave and ironer.

    The room wasn’t the cleanest, particularly the sheets - other people’s hair through the room. Never saw any staff on property, only communicated through messaging - they were fast to respond so not necessarily an issue but something to be aware of.

    Great location, close to metro and restaurants. Rooftop was nice, breakfast was included - just a loaf of bread and instant coffee, but we appreciate the effort. Washing machine available (need to pay for it). The rooms were quiet and warm with floor heating.

    A horror. We were assigned a room in which the toilet was clogged with excrement and with sheets that had a persistent smell of urine not to mention the hair in the bed. So the staff changed us to another room. In the other room, mold covered the wallpaper. Everything was moldy, without exception, as shown in the photos: the walls, the sink, not to mention the shower, etc ... Again, there was hair everywhere. The temperature of the shower is also very difficult to adjust. The air conditioning, very old, combined with the mold gave us sore throats. This establishment is a disgrace and we ask you, who are reading this comment, not to book, even if the price is good. Having traveled all over the world, I have never seen an establishment like this. Do not book this hotel, for anything in the world.

    Proximity to the metro

    The room was full of insects, the elevator to the room felt unsave. Mold everywhere, found an used condom on the ground. I got out of there as soon as possible. Insane!! Honestly I have been to many hostels before. And it was so bad it made me laugh. Though I doubt many people would be laughing in my situation. I'm 19 and my room is cleaner.

    There is NO RECEPTION here. We waited someone to come for about 20 minutes, then she said the room we booked is in repair. And the lobby (if u could call it as a lobby) seemed so dirty, we could imagine the rooms. We had to move another hotel of them without extra fee, but it was so dirty too.

    There was manure on the side of the elevator and we had to run every time (without breathing). The stairway was locked so there was no other option. Upon arriving on our floor from the elevator, there were still stairs so it was confusing and unsympathetic with our luggage. There was also no one around to aid us if we needed help. We waited for the call when checking in. Upon answering, they just instructed us to get one of the keys exposed right in front of us - this could've easily been sent as a text.

    Near the bus/subway stations, and near the convenience stores. Laundry was also very useful. The kitchen wasn't that helpful since there was only 1 set of utensils and the refrigerator reeked.
