This is my second time staying here. The owner is very kind and friendly. It's close to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, and there are many restaurants and WOWPASS charging machines nearby, which is very convenient. It's a clean and comfortable place to stay, so I'd love to use it again.

Thank you for taking such good care of me these past few days. This is a very warm and welcoming hostel. The staff were very friendly; when I encountered a small problem while shopping in Seoul, they were happy to help me contact the shops to resolve it. The hostel itself is very clean and well-equipped. There are restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and it's a 3-minute walk to the subway station—everything is very convenient. I highly recommend it!

This was my first time staying here, and I was very impressed. The building is conveniently located near Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station on Line 5. It's also just over a 5-minute walk to DDP and about a 15-minute walk to Doota Mall, which is excellent. There's a 7-Eleven right outside the hostel, so it was easy to grab drinks and snacks. The man at the reception desk was incredibly friendly and always greeted me with a smile, making my stay very pleasant. I regret not having studied more Korean (lol). Both the room and the bathroom facilities were very clean. I really appreciated the curtain between the toilet and shower, which kept the toilet dry. The room also had air conditioning (seems to be cooling only), a TV, and a refrigerator, which was more than enough for a solo traveler. I definitely want to stay here again on my next trip to Korea.

Stayed for 3 nights. The room has a strict no-smoking policy, no loud noises, laundry only after 9 AM, and no showering after 11 PM... Lots of rules, which I actually like. The room is a bit small, perfect for one person; it would be a bit cramped for two. It's close to the subway, Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Hanok Village, etc.

The room was exceptionally clean and had heating, making for a very comfortable sleep. It's also super close to the nearest subway station, just a two-minute walk away. I came with a friend, and since we're minors, I contacted the owner in advance. The owner was incredibly nice, helped us with our luggage, and was always available to sort out any issues we had. Overall, our experience was fantastic! The room wasn't huge, so we basically just used it as a place to sleep, but it was definitely great value for money. (P1 shows some late-night food we bought near the hotel.)

We really enjoyed staying in tis hotel. Not very big, cozy and comfortable one. The hotel owner is very friendly and good person, it was nice to greet him when going near reception. The room was warm even when the weather outside was about -10C. The size of the room is little but OK. Suits when you are an active traveler being in the hotel only for sleeping. Great one when travelling with friends. Thanks for the time here! We recommend staying here)

The hotel's location is excellent! The subway entrance is less than a minute's walk away, which is super convenient for getting around and exploring. The room was also very clean; although a bit small, it was very comfortable to stay in. The owner was also very kind and even helped me carry my luggage upstairs, which I really appreciated!
