콘센트 접근성이 매우 떨어집니다. 침대 주변 콘센트가 없어 잘때 핸드폰을 충전하면서 사용하기가 어려웠고, 책상 근처 콘센트도 책상밑에 위치하다 보니 사용하기가 쉽지는 않네요.
This place was outstanding! The staff were incredibly helpful/friendly (as I arrived with my friend, a staff member who just got off her shift offered to walk us to the building and tell us how to check in since we were running late), the rooms were spacious and extremely comfortable (their pillows were so soft), and their free luggage storage option was very convenient! Also they offered free rentals for items you might need, a fully operational kitchen/fridge storage, and the location was even more perfect than expected. Any trip I take to Seoul now, I’ll want to see if this place is available to book!
Nice place, but the staffs made a terrible mistake during the check-in process. They removed my name from their google spreadsheet and forgot what room I booked, and the room was apparently booked by someone else, and I waited for over an hour for them to come up with a solution. We ended up getting another room, which was a nice room, but we were so close to cancelling our reservation and asking for a refund. I had to ask so many times to figure out what was going on as the staffs did not voluntarily tell me about their mistakes and the situation. Kinda poor service, decent place, the worst check-in experience, good location.
Very clean and cozy room.
Clean, convenient, and quite sharing room on 5th floor.
Nice and polite staffs.
1st floor cafe discount price for this hostel guest.
Only one little thing, please make cleaner towels.
Good for long-term stays. Don't expect it to be on the same level of cleanness as hotels. The first level was under the construction so it was kinda noisy starting around 8am (the construction will be completed by early December they said). But overall, it was worth more than what I paid for except for the early check-in. Check-ins start at 4PM and I arrived early and checked-in at 10-11AM. They charged $50 for the early check-in. Considering the price I paid for one night, I thought it was slightly pricey. However, this place has everything you need and the location is amazing. Also, staffs are super friendly. I am def willing to stay on my next trip to Korea.
It was my first visit to Korea. The hostel was very close to a subway station : Exit 1 Seoul National University of Education, and also to Inchon Airport Bus stop. It takes about 60 to 70 minutes by Airport Bus. The room was new and clean with a cozy bed. Just one thing I felt uncomfortable with was I found a dirt on the bed sheet. I left a message about that and they changed it immediately. I wished there was a refrigerator in the room.
Overall I enjoyed staying at the hotel. Good value for money.
