Great location, not the best wifi

The location of the hotel was not the same as maps but luckily a guard from another hotel directed us! Other than that the location to bars was good, the hotel provided easy directions to follow to the tourist attractions and laundry service was good! Wi-Fi not great. Overall worth the money paid.

Verified traveler

Disliked: Staff & service
Location is great. Common areas are a lot smaller than it appears in the pictures. Its also not that clean. Bunk beds were shaky when going up and down the ladder and even moving from side to side on the bed. Staff were okay. One was friendler than the other. Personally preferred not to deal with the staff. When asked about guided tours, they didn't have any recommendations. Facilities such as the showers and toilet areas were okay but could be cleaner, in my opinion. However I suppose for the price point, it's fair... I was rather disappointed in my overall stay here. I would not return to this guesthouse.

Nice place, bad bunk

My only complaint about the place was that the bunk beds were awful. They're the pitiful aluminum ones that are definitely not built to hold a full grown human. It felt like trying to sleep on stilts. I'm a small gal and I was still terrified I would knock the whole bed over climbing into it and anytime I moved or the person on the bottom moved it was like we were being hit with a 9.5 on the Richter scale. It was the worst sleep I'd gotten in a long time. The rest of the place was nice though. The bathrooms were spacious and clean, the common areas had awesome decoration, and the place was packed with friendly people. Change those bunks out and I'd go back.

Great guesthouse, on a quiet street and very close to the subway station. Seomyeon was a 10-15minute walk and 1 subway station away so very handy! Bathrooms were great, the room had a lot of space even though it was 10beds, would definitely stay here again!

ok to stay for a couple of days

This is a big facility! 7-8 floors. this made it a bit impersonal for me. The facilities themselves are fine. The 6 person dorm room was small but clean. Lockers (bring your own lock) are too small to fit a lot of bags which meant they were on the floor cramping an already small space. Beds were comfortable and aircon effective. Bathrooms are modern, clean and showers good. Common area is not large enough and doesn't really promote a social atmosphere for me. Location very convenient for metro line 1 and lots of buses. Easy to get around. About 15 minute walk to a good dining district. Overall the place is ok. I'd probably look for another place next time but would consider staying here again.
