    It is in the middle of hongdae and even though you can hear a lot of people and transit in front of the hostel, the rooms are very quiet and no noise at all, we were 4 people so we had a big bed and a bunk bed so it was perfect. There is a common area with kitchen so it is nice if you need to cook and also laundry.

    If you are looking for comfy and decent place to stay, this is not it. However, if you are looking for a place to say for a short while for just sleeping or someplace to passby, this would be it. It has everything you need like dryers or even hair irons. The walls are thin so you may hear the other room's noise but it's a cheap place and would not have anticipated more than that. Anyways for me it was just okay staying here.

    good location, noisy”

    location is great, on a very lively street. check in process was good, nice staff. wifi works on and off. breakfast was extremely poor even for a hostel, only bread then juice/tea/coffee. Have to take issue with the noise. Other guests were generally rude, frequently slamming doors and not respecting supposed quiet times at night. While this isnt necessarily the hostels fault, having loud doors and a really annoying beeping noise every time the main door opens and closes is pretty stupid. Dont stay here if you like quiet/sleep
