Thank you Victor for everything. I really appreciate your attention to detail and make me feel like home. I would love to stay a few days more but I'm pleased with everything! 😊 I wanna come back!

I usually don’t write reviews, but this time I really felt obligated to share my experience because of the incredible kindness of Victor, the manager. This was my first time staying at this hostel, and overall, I had a very pleasant experience. The place is clean, quiet, safe, and convenient. It is not right next to a subway station, but it is only one bus stop away, and the bus stop is just a minute’s walk from the hostel. Almost every bus goes in the direction of the hostel, so I didn’t even need to remember the bus number. The location is actually very convenient for getting around most parts of Seoul by public transportation. One small downside is that the building does not have an elevator. However, the hostel is only on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and there are only a few steps, so it was not a major issue for me. Most importantly, I want to mention Victor, the manager. He is an incredibly kind and genuinely nice person. He always responded to my messages very quickly and was always willing to help whenever I had a question or needed assistance. What I appreciated most was his kindness when I checked out. My flight was very early in the morning, and unfortunately, it was during a major Korean holiday weekend. I was concerned about finding transportation to the airport at such an early hour. Even though I didn’t ask him for help, Victor understood that it could be difficult and offered to arrange a taxi for me. But he went far beyond that. He actually cut short his family holiday in the southern part of Korea and returned early so that he could personally help me with my luggage and make sure the taxi was arranged. His kindness didn’t end after I left either—he even sent me a message afterward to make sure I had made it to the airport and caught my flight. I sincerely appreciate everything Victor did for me. His kindness and thoughtfulness made my stay much more special, and I am truly grateful for his help. I would definitely stay at this hostel again if I visit Seoul in the future. Thank you so much, Victor, for everything!

The quality is great for the price. The owner was very kind and the room was clean.

Looks like a good deal with everything in one room, but I highly recommend spending more elsewhere if you prioritize rest. The bed was uneven, slanted, and incredibly uncomfortable. Structural noise made sleep nearly impossible all week; a complete lack of proper soundproofing means you hear every single keypad beep and conversation in the communal hallway late into the night. I was surprised by the positive reviews, as my experience was very different. While the manager was friendly and helped with luggage, and the room itself was clean, the stay was ultimately very difficult. I was unable to sleep or rest properly the entire time.
