Exceptional”
Love this Hostel! It's right in the heart of Hongdae but still set back far enough to avoid noise. The rooms are well taken care of and furnished with all the amenities you could need. This is my 'go to' place when I am up in this area of Seoul. The staff is super friendly and helpful and explains everything you need to know about navigating the hostel after hours. Their check in time is pretty barrow so make sure you let them know when you're checking in so they can meet you. The hostel is locked afterhours to hostel guests only. They have lockers outside if you arrive early or check out with some time to spare. Small backpacks and carry on size suitcases fit, but nothing larger.

Great place overall. Would totally recommend. ”
Booked a twin room with my friend, and got a free upgrade to a triple room. The place was clean and they helped us carry our luggages. I would totally recommend this place to anyone.

Good to stay”
Location and price are good to choose

Nice location”
The location is ideal, close to the train station. There are good restaurants nearby. The only downside I think is there is no safe place to leave your luggage after check in. You just leave your luggage in an open storage area. To be fair, our luggages remained intact it is just this is something they can improve on.

You get what you pay for”
Small but clean room. Room is warm enough during winter, CR is clean and whole hostel. Room is not the fancy type but you get what you pay for specifically if you just need a room to sleep in.

Location is great. ”
The location is great. I love this part of town. I only went for one night so not many problems. But if you go for longer, have in mind that there is no lift (I got a room in the 5th floor) and that you cannot cook there, and there are no plates or cutlery. It is a quite region of Hongdae and very nearby to the main streets. So, you can enjoy the night life of Hongdae and also sleep well.

It’s an affordable option but the heat barely worked and there was no hot water ”
I understand that the hostel wants to reduce cost but the heat wasn’t helpful at all. During my stay it was very cold in Seoul (-10 to -17 Celsius degrees). There was no hot water in the shower so taking a shower was intimating in such harsh weather. Otherwise staff was friendly and they cleaned everyday. I don’t see a problem staying here in summer, but not in winter.

Good hostel for budget friendly room”
The capsule room was very cheap for less than 10 USD per night, the room and bed was very small and not really that comfortable but if you only need a place to stay for a night especially for solo this is a good place and very near the subway station.. the location also has many cafes and restaurants nearby overall I will still stay here again for my solo stay in seoul

Above average”
We had issue the check in Staff didn't inform us that credit card machine is not working and we were forced to pay in cash. Towel provided was just towellete ( too small) Place has no elevator as well We appreciate the room heater and room was just in 2nd floor.

great hostel”
it was great, the room feels like a mini apartment. everything you need are available eg; bathroom, microwave, kitchen set (stove and sink), refrigerator, hairdryer, tv, personal wifi for each room, a closet for your clothes, and washing machine. a common area is also available for you to mingle with other guests. light breakfast is available in common area. if you lazy to take a drink in common area which is located in 1st floor, you could supply mineral water by buying it at a convinience store near subway or hostel. it's a 4-story building with no elevator, but the staffs are very helpfull to take your luggage to your room even help us to carry it untill subway. what a great assistance for the guest. another great thing is about the location, it's in hongdae and walking distance to subway. will stay at hostel KW again for next trip.

A Very Pleasant Stay”
The hostel is about 5 minutes away from the Hongdae University Station which is directly connected with Airport. The hostel can be a bit tricky to look for at the first time. The hostel can only be accessed with security password so it feels safe. The room is very comfortable and there is even a washing mashine inside. The lady boss is very friendly and speaks very good mandarin. Overall this is a very pleasant guesthouse.

Great location, great staff, excellent value”
I was a little reluctant to stay at a Hostel but when you travel on a budget it is necessary to try new things. I am happy we did because we loved the Hostel. Of the six guest houses and hotels we stayed in during our visit to South Korea this one was the best one by far (and we stayed in a 4 star hotel during the trip). It is easy to get to from the airport line, the staff even sent a picture pathway documenting the easiest way to get to the guest house. The size of the room was good for our family of four. The washing machine was great. Location was great easy access to subway station to move everywhere. Close to the main streets where all the shopping stores, Hongik University, and restaurants are located. The room had a private bathroom, AC, lockers, and let us drop off our bags before checkin. All these helped to have a comfortable time in Korea. I liked especially that the place was clean and it seems newly renovated. The people in charge of the Hostel were very nice, helpful, and they speak English. I highly recommend this place. We liked it so much that we changed other reservations to return after we visited Jeju. When we go back we will definitely stay at the Hostel again.

nice place”
At first time, i was be a bit confused with road to place, but after first time i did remember well. It so easy to found and many ways to go there. Staff was be really friendly, speaking english well (^^''). What else? Hmm...i like bed there, really comfortable and room have too much utility (useful). Everything new and almost clean, it really good point. I like that door have auto lock, i feel safe there. Only one complain i have: i wish there are something more then just soap, at last shampoo and toothpaste be really good option, and some paper tissue, but for the price it not necessary, i guess. Around area there so many cafe and good student shopping places. Well, guess i'll stay there again when will go to Seoul. Когда искала дорогу в первый раз, немного запуталась, но по адресу местные жители быстро показали дорогу. После этого было очень легко находить дорогу. Место находится достаточно близко к станции метро, думаю минуты. Персонал очень дружелюбный и внимательный. Мне очень понравилась кровать, до этого жила в нескольких других местах и там не могла выспаться из-за неудобства матрасов и подушек, здесь же наконец отлично поспала. В "номере" очень много всякой техники, это достаточно удобно. Близко расположено очень много разных маленьких кафешек и студенческое место для шоппинга и туссовок. Единственное что огорчило это минимальный набор косметики: только мыло, хотелось бы еще шампунь и зубную пасту, но думаю за эту цену это простительно. Возможно остановлюсь там снова, когда поеду в следующий раз, мне понравилось.

A great, friendly hostel with nice staff”
It was great! The staff providing detailed directions, complete with photos. They were kind, welcoming, and included a free breakfast. They also were very kind in allowed to keep our things for the day before we headed to the airport. As well, they all spoke great English, which is hard to come by sometimes in Seoul. I would definitely stay here again-having stayed twice already:)

Great stay. ”
Very close to the Seoul Subway (including Airport Express train), very easy to find. Room was very clean. Owners are very helpful - I ended up checking in late due to traffic and they emailed me very precise instructions on how to get in my room. Highly recommend!
