This hostel was conveniently located few minutes from the subway. Basically, if you just need a place to drop your stuffs and be out all day to experience Seoul this is it! Not to be worried though, staff speaks limited english but is very accommodating with our DMZ tour arrangement. They have a driver who picks you up from hostel... More

Convenient location, easy to reach from Seoul station, very close to Namdaenum market and a metro station, also walking distance to the central Seoul Plaza. The room has new wallpapers, but the furniture is old and shabby (the TV table looked like it would crush under the TV any second). Bed, pillow and blankets were comfortable for a 1 night... More

It was located on the 6th floor, where u have to climb some stairs after taking elevator to the 5th floor. Not very convenient when you have big luggage. Room: Small but functional, individual aircon, bed sheet not very clean, toilet... More

The hotel sits right next to a subway station, which can be quite comfortable if you wish to hop on and hop off to see the city sights. Affordable as well at about $50 per night for a Double Room during non-peak season. They provide free coffee/tea, wifi and airport transfers at a good price. Overall, good service.
