Very good, the environment is also OK, I have stayed here many times, and I will choose this hotel every time I come. The transportation is also very convenient. It is only 200 meters away from the Sinseol-dong subway station. I will choose it next time

The hotel is quite good, but for your money you can find something better and bigger nearby! The service itself and the maintenance are good, check-in was free and accessible! Of the minuses, dirty showers and stuffiness in the rooms!

The primary issue with this hostel is the lack of staff. Not once did I ever see a person on the front desk, and their automatic check-in is broken! So EVERYONE I saw, including myself, had to ring up the hostel to find out which room we were staying in. Pretty dirty too. Underneath my bed was a judge amount of dust, the walls were dirty and the kitchen leaving a fair amount to be desired.
Good amenities however, even if the shower is on top of the toilet.

No one met us upon arrival. It was dirty. The conditions were not very good.

If you don't take care of your trash, cockroaches will show up.
The room is quite spacious for sleeping.
We recommend bringing your own hair dryer.
There are only stairs, so it's a bit difficult to move your suitcase up to the upper floors.

I stayed there for about 6 days, and although the room was cleaned on the first day, it was not cleaned at all the rest of the day. The room was dirty and smelly, which bothered me, and there were hardly any amenities. The water in the bath was weak and it was the worst. I do not recommend it at all. I had made a reservation for my next trip, but I canceled it.
