Strategy location, nice owner, comfortable ”
Strategy location with lot of local restaurant and convinient shops around. The room was big for us (4 pax with 1 extra bed). The owner let us to stay together in 1 room and even give me back the extra money. Breakfast serve with bread, milk and jam, there are 3 flavors of jam, it really makes our day. We booked airport transfer with him at 3am as we have early flight to Jeju. The owner even stay late and make sure we are safely get the transport service. We are really touched with his kindness, and will get back to this stay again!

2nd time to stay here”
It's my 2nd time to stay here. The location of this hostel is perfect for me. It's near a metro subway station, a bus station (where 6002 airport bus stops). The place is also located in a residential area, so it's quite. The staff is very assisting and helpful. I'll definitely book this place again on my next trip to Korea.

Satisfactory accommodations and excellent staff!”
Pros: -excellent staff who go above and beyond to be helpful. -fantastic location. Five minute walk to two different subway stations, three minutes to the bus stop, easy access to Incheon airport (one bus, no transfers), and tons of food options right outside your door. -mostly clean rooms. A couple of small stains, but bedding is washed and changed between guests. -water cooler in the kitchen provides filtered hot and cold water -good sized lockable cupboards in the shared dorms -free razors, toothbrushes, q-tips, etc. Cons: -the bathrooms are tiny and the toilet/sink/shower in one combination means there is mould on the hanging baskets and the toilets and toilet paper are constantly wet. -kitchen is tiny and cramped and could be cleaner Overall - fantastic value for money, but be prepared for the less than ideal bathroom situation

Everything was okay!”
We stayed here for 2 days. The host was kind. The room here is small but clean and has warm and cozy feel. After walking all day in the cold weather, we felt really comfortable when we were back to our room here. The bathrooms are shared and small but also very clean. They also offer free breakfast (with toast with jam and butter, orange juice, milk... and some other things that I don’t remember). The location is quite convenient. There are subway station and bus stops close. I was pleased with the hostel and had a very comfortable stay. Thank you!

Okay stay for sleeping”
This hostel is good enough if you're just here to sleep. Our stay was okay but the place needs a bit more cleaning. The washrooms need a bit more scrubbing (and it's not about the daily use; they need a proper deep clean). The rooms were okay but dusty under the bed and fridge. A full compost bag was in by the kitchen window for a few days. Overall an okay stay for us as we're usually out the whole day and just in to sleep. Would still recommend as it was affordable.

Cheap but not worth it.Single room number 313.”
I arrived late since i traveled from Busan.Thanks to the host helping me carring my bag to 3rd level.No elevator.Disappointed with the very small window.If you want single room with window try ask another room.Ventilation not good.When the host first open the door,strong smell like odd massage oil hit my nose.I thought it will go but the smell stay.I am too tired to ask another room.Room tidy but not clean.Dark.No towel.Maybe need to ask.If you booked long stay.And you got room no 313 ask for another room.
