clean, good kitchen, very close to bus station and subway station, only thing is, the shared dormitory only had one bathroom so you had to wait sometimes to be able to use the toilet or shower which can be a little annoying

Horrible! I lived in a separate room. There is no one in the hotel who could monitor who enters the building, anyone could enter the building. The room is dirty, moldy. There was a cockroach in the shower. You also had to throw out your own trash, change your towels, and renew your toilet paper. The location is really convenient, a few steps from the metro.

Decent hostel for the price, my locker was slightly broken and could be opened without the key, but overall very warm and fairly comfortable. Didn’t leave my laptop in the hostel though and had to carry it around in backpack.

I stayed here for 4 nights in a private room with a private bathroom. Check in and Check out was very easy. After carrying my luggage to the third floor I noticed I didn't have Wifi or towels but it was an easy fix. Just plugged in the wifi router in and got some towels from the counter. It was pretty clean and I could not detect much noise from the neighbours which made it easy to relax after a long day. There was a projector you could watch Netflix/ YouTube etc. which was very nice as well. Subway station and next 편의점 was less than 3mins on foot. All in all I think this is a great stay for this price. Only thing what was a bit uncomfortable for was that i couldn't find the water temperature that i prefer when showering (either too hot or too cold). But maybe that's just a me problem. I can recommend this place!

Nice dormitory with its own bathroom (no windows so the floor often stayed wet for a while). Beds are comfortable. Breakfast is provided every morning and there is a water fountain.

Hostel was relatively tidy and the staff and inhabitants were nice. It seems like the hostel is mainly occupied by people (likely students?) who are staying here more long term, so if you're looking for traveller/ hostel vibes, this isn't it. That said, it was fairly quiet and has a nice main space to read/work and if you need a quiet and affordable place to sleep, this is a fine option.

There are some pros, but also very big cons.
1. The biggest downside – they don’t change the bed linen after the previous guest.
2. I slept in a 10-bed room. The room lacks air, it’s very stuffy, and of course, one toilet is not enough for so many people.
3. Shoes must be stored in small airtight lockers, where wet shoes don’t dry at all.
4. The staff always looks sad, no one smiles, and the atmosphere is not friendly.
Pros:
– Relatively decent breakfast
– Self check-in
– Good location near the metro

The hostel is located very near to the metro station.
Although it was cozy, but gave good facilities.
