Very nice, next door to 7-Eleven, 50 meters away from the royal palace, with a private roof to visit and relax. But! The roof closes at 20:00, no idea why. Couldn't come up after a long tiring day of touristic fun and chill out on it with a botte of icy tea. I booked this hostel counting on nice evenings on top of this roof. Had to return to the room instead.

First of all, I would like to recommend you to stay this hotel during your amazing trip in Korea Seoul to be kicked off! The clearness of rooms are good enough. The room has windows so that we can wake up with the sun light. There is some points that you need to keep in mind. You need to change towels by yourself. You need to contact to owners to renew your trash bins.

I dont recommend everyone staying in this hotel in the winter. The aircondition is central aircondition type, however the hotel didn’t turn it on, and it’s December! 😭 It has warm floor BUT it wasn’t enough to keep us warm, especially during night, when the temperature went down like minus degrees. Eventually we caught cold in the end and had to buy many additional medicines here. We were very sad we can’t fully enjoy this trip due to this situation. We went to another hotel in last day and the other hotel has warm floor and warm air conditioner that works perfectly fine 😭
Response from Property: Hello,As we explained when you checked in and as written on your info sheet, the floor heating is automatic, and is set to a temperature that most guests find to be comfortable. As we also explained to you, however, you can always ask at the front desk or send us a message to request us to raise the temperature if you'd like the room to be warmer.The air conditioner is cold only, and is turned off for the winter.Thank you for staying.

Good stay. The MRT station is Euljiro 3-ga which is in the middle of Seoul, walkable distance to Insadong, Hanok Village & GyeongBuk Gong Palace.

Wonderful place to stay in terms of location, definitely recommend the larger bed if you're staying for a longer duration. The place is very convenient and accessible with the airport bus. There are some delicious coffee shops if you plan on doing work, and of course beautiful hanok & palaces within walking distance.

The location is about 5-8 minutes away from the subway station, about 1-3 minutes away from the bus station, and the bicycle rental is just downstairs, so the transportation is very convenient. It is considered a youth hostel, but all are independent suites, with large bathroom space, and a single room can open a 24-inch suitcase. It is considered an environmentally friendly hotel, so there is no cleaning service, but if you need to take out the trash in the room, you can tell the front desk and someone will collect the trash. Basic towels, shampoo, shower gel, and hair dryers are provided. Although the front desk is not 24 hours, there will always be someone as long as you are within the time, and there is nothing that needs help from the front desk. Overall, it is a hotel with a high CP value.

Good location of the hotel, close to bus stops and Palaces. The view is good, the room is not cleaned, probably only if you ask. Overall for your money, an excellent option price / quality

It's a hostel, so the cleanliness is average. The guy at the reception was very kind and explained everything to me in detail. The refrigerator was so loud I couldn't sleep. I recommend unplugging it.

Overall it's OK, but the soundproofing is very poor. Earplugs are provided in the room, or you can bring your own. There are many barbecue restaurants nearby, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find food at night. There is a 7-11 downstairs

It's a bit of a walk from the nearest station, but there is a convenience store on the first floor, and there are many cafes, restaurants, and stores between the station and the hotel, so I thought it was in a good location. Tourist attractions are also within walking distance, which was nice. The staff were very polite and helpful. There were two bottles of water in the fridge, which was nice. The bathroom was clean. I was intrigued to see that there was a hanbok and school uniform rental shop in the same building.

We checked in in February. On the second night, a pair of strange men opened the door. It must be that the front desk opened a new room. We were scared. After that, we kept trying to find the front desk to argue, but they were not at their workstation every time. I guess they wanted to evade responsibility. Everyone should be careful to avoid thunder. It was still very dangerous. Fortunately, the two men were polite. We communicated for a while and then called the front desk.

We made an error when assigning the room numbers, and another guest received the keys for your room instead of the room they originally booked.We kept trying to reach you by message to offer a refund for the mistake, but we weren't able to reach you. We aren't able to contact you through Trip.com messaging now because your stay date has passed, but you can send a request through Trip.com customer support if you'd like to discuss the issue further.Best regards,Hostel Korea
