Nice Place, Very Clean, Location Convenient”

Location is very near the subway station just a few minutes walk. There are convenient stores around if ever you get hungry. There are diners near the place so it's very convenient. There's an ATM near the subway if you need to get money. You just have to check your itinerary if the place is central to the places that you're going to visit.

Great place in Seoul”

I had an amazing time in Korea. I like this hostel. I made my breakfast in the morning. Host was nice ^^ Time to make breakfast during 8am - 10:30am. The hostel prepared lots of things for breakfast: Milk, tea, Bread, eggs, butter, juice.. or something like that. I traveled in the winter so the room was warm. Next year if I travel to Korea again, I will still choose this hostel. Thanks so much
