Very helpful and accommodating staff

I stayed in their hotel for one day only. November 30, 2016.I had a reservation with another hotel which I forgot to cancel so I had to transfer.Their staff spoke English very well . They assisted me in communicating with the other hotel and helped us get a taxi and assisted us with our luggage. I will definitely recommend this place to friends.

The location is quite confused. almost 15mins away from Hongdae station. They better make an instruction of the way to get to there. If you don't have a phone and don't read korean finding this hostel will be impossible. The building is quite new. Heater everything works well. But limited housekeeping.

Goof for those on a budget

This hostel was very clean and the staff were very friendly and spoke English well. It is about a 15 minute walk from Hongik University Station, but could be tricky to find without Google Maps. There is not very much to see or do near the hostel itself, but there is tons in the Hongik area (on the other side of Hongik Station). Also, the hostel (like many others) does not have an elevator, which could be an issue for those traveling with large suitcases or mobility issues.

近弘大站，方便。沿途有食店。住雙人房，有厨房，房間乾淨企理。住了五天，要自行處理垃圾，將垃圾放在梯間袋內；自行取毛巾。沒有人打掃房間。 晚上不太寧靜，聽到外邊食店客人聲音；隔音不好，間中聽到鄰近住客敲擊聲。

Room size was good, but there was no lift in the hostel. The staff was so nice who helped me to take the luggage to the room. It’s clean. Space was enough to open two medium size luggage in the same time. Hair dryer, microwave, kitchen with sink and induction cooker were in the each of the room so we did not need to share with others.

失望

本身就上網book咗間雙人床房，去到既時候一開房門見到係張碌架床既房 ，完全同相唔一樣，我唔問d職員就無人同我預先講依個情況，問完之後搞左一輪先話因為前排地震震爆水管所以先無個間雙人房，叫我地接受間碌架床房同會賠翻70蚊俾我地，我覺得甘樣完全唔ok唔合理同埋房隔離係放住好多雜物同唔知咩爐好亂，我地話唔接受依間房 之後佢就安排左第間旅館都係佢地既分館，雖然係俾翻間雙人房我，但係環境好污糟，d櫃入面有好多死左既昆蟲屍體，雪櫃入面真係好臭 我已經突登去問下佢地可唔可以跟進下 到走個日都無上黎睇過，無衣櫃得一條直立式勾住衫既架但係就掛一兩件就唔穩陣同生曬銹，個暖氣應該係中央較 有一兩日個暖氣係得18度自己又較唔到 涷醒左，最重要係個天花樓底係灰黑色，唉四百幾蚊晚都搞到咁，下次都係早d book d好酒店算，好失望。

地理位置很棒的酒店

旅館總體來說是不錯的，以後再來還是會入住，地理位置很棒，地鐵站出來會經過很多餐廳有很多美食，但不懂為什麼check in的地方不是在旅館裡，而是在第二條街的另外一個地方，第一天到達已經很晚了還拖著行李到處找check in的地方。我入住的是雙人房，房間很大，攤開兩個行李箱也還有很多位置，而且旅館的香氛超好聞！但房間有說明check out之前要自己把垃圾丟到樓下垃圾桶，所以我們每天都要自己丟垃圾，而旅館人員每天都有來換新毛巾，卻沒有每天給我們乾淨的垃圾袋，但沒差在韓國東西買一買就有很多袋子了。

観光拠点として，交通の便は良いホステル

ホテルではなくホステルなので，あまり期待はしていませんでしたが，全体的にいい加減さが目立ちました。チェックイン時に，朝食の時間が８時半である説明を受け，チェックアウトの希望時間を聞かれたので９時でお願いしたのですが...何とその担当者が朝寝坊をし，フロントに到着したのが１１時でした。朝食がなくなったばかりか，２時間半ものロスタイムに対して，何のお詫びの言葉もなく驚きました。こちらは，１５時の飛行機で帰国しなくてはならなかったため，もし担当者が現れなかったどうしようと本当に慌てました。ロッカーの鍵のデポジットとして預けた10,000ウォンの返金はともかく，鍵を間違いなく返さなくてはならないので，黙って立ち去るわけにもいかず...緊急時の連絡先に２度ほど電話をかけましたが，全くつながらず意味をなさないものでした。学生街なので，アルバイトで雇われている若者といったイメージでした。旅にハプニングはつきものですし，宿泊料金も格安だったのである程度は仕方ないかなと思います。覚悟の上での利用をお勧めします。

駅に近く清潔

弘大入口駅から徒歩5-6分。 事前に写真付きの詳細な案内メールを頂きましたが、逆に詳細すぎて間違えてしまいました。　遊歩道のような公園があるので、その道練に歩いていけばなんとなくつきます。 弘大でも閑静なエリアですが、たまに夜中に表でうるさい声は聞こえました。 フロントは別棟にあるガラス張りのカフェのような作りの施設で、看板もありません。 若いスタッフばかりでしたが、一人は留学経験があり日本語ＯＫ、他に英語堪能な方がいます。 部屋はリフォームしたばかりの様で清潔、床暖房は暑いくらい。トイレも広く、シャワーの湯量、温度も申し分なし。 ただ、５階建てですがエレベーターがありません。
