皆プロフェッショナルな接客をしてくれます。こちらが話しかける前にどうなさいましたか、と伺いに来てくれるなど丁寧な対応をして下さいました。私もホテル業ですが、サービスが行き届いていて素晴らしい。日本語スタッフがいるかはわかりません。しかし、言葉は関係ないと思います。特別感を味わえる場所でした。

早い時間だがチェックインができるとエクスペディアの方に電話で確認を取ったのに人はおらず鍵も閉まっていないのでだれて入れるセキュリティでした。バスルームもトイレにシャワーノズルがついたようなものでした。チェックインもできないし、清潔感もなかったため別のホテルを取り直しました。

Great location. Everything you need is just a short walk away. Bus stops are close. Train stations are close. Host is amazing and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a place to stay in Seoul.

다 좋은데 투숙객 3명이서 4층라운지에서 술마시며 떠드는것을 제지하지 않으시더군요. 덕분에 소음이 조금 심하였습니다.

1-night trip

6/10

First, it was hard to find this place. There should be a sign outside of the building telling visitors the name. Second, the twin room was filthy. Hairs all on the floor and beds and the room seems to be falling apart. The guy at the desk was nice though.

10/10

Friendly and kindly staff. Warm n Comfortable bed. Nice shower room. Nearly Hongdae University/ night club/ shop/ restaurant/ 24hours convenient store. Happy experience.

8/10

The management was so helpful! We had a late check in, so the manager helped us check in over the phone. I also left my cell phone, and they kept it safe until I could return for it, even after checkout. I highly recommend this hostile for the kind staff and location. Will definitely stay again.

멍멍이와 고양이가 사람을 잘 따르고 너무 귀여웠어요~ 방은 좀 추웠지만 위치가 너무 좋아서 다음에도 또 이용할 것 같아요!

10/10

위치가 아주 좋고 고양이가 너무 얌전하고 귀여움

4/10

the host has a passion to create a friendly hostel, but the common area is too good for party and it can be noisy till late night sometime, and the big dog is barking and too active sometime. but i have to say the staffs are really nice and helpful.

2/10

I did not get to stay here. It was a bit hard yo find but when i did The door was locked, the bell didnt ring and the hostels number didnt work so i wasted 50 thousand won. Dont stay here

8/10

굉장히 좋았어요 ホンデから、近くとてもよかったです

8/10

It's a very convenient n comfortable place.

4/10

Staff are doing the best they can and I appreciate that, but the room condition and the bathrooms really need more work. Lounge was fine, heat was good, but the room I stayed in was quite in bad conditions, and the bathrooms had showers that are not handy to use at all. Would not stay again.

6/10

It's a cheap hostel and near to a subway line. Getting there from the Incheon airport is easy. It has WiFi and free water. The personal speak English and are nice. But these are the only good things they have. It's rather unclean, with no intimacy at all in the shared rooms. If you're bagpacking, staying for a night or two, go for it. If not, you're probably going to be disappointed.

6/10

其他住客比較吵！可能剛好有團隊入住的關係

10/10

이런위치에가격이너무저렴한게신기할정도ㅎㅎㅎ다음에가면외국인들이랑같이좋은시간보내고싶어요ㅎㅎㅎ

10/10

the host there is very nice.People there is awesome.Room is clean and there has party almost everyday.If i have a chance to go to Korea again.Im gonna stay this hostel again for sure.

8/10

주인분도 친절하시고 홍대 핫한 곳에 있는데 하나도 안시끄러워 좋았어요. 통금이 없는것도 좋았는데 아쉬운 점이라면 제가 받은 침구류가 먼지가 좀 있었다는 것과 화장실 문 열기가 어렵다는점?ㅎㅎ 그리고 큰 개도 한마리 있어요! 전체적으로 저렴한 가격에 만족합니다~^^
