    The bed are not that comfortable, and the plastic material makes it even worse, also it’s way better to stay here if you’re going with a group of ppl otherwise you would have to pray you get nice people that aren’t loud in the same room.

    Room was very small especially if you had luggage so you could not all be in the room and go through your bags at the same time had to take turns , beds not entirely comfortable was very hard, common area was not available at all times which is understandable but not accommodating for an early morning. Entrance does not have a ramp so made it very difficult with heavy bags. Bathroom leaked into the room when you took a shower.

    Good location. Complimentary breakfast was decent. Had bigger than the usual Korean small towels which was good. Helpful staff

    They only clean the room once every 4 days. It was not automatic even so. Had to remind them a day before. Come on we are on vacation & lose track of time. Had to wash own plates & cutleries after eating breakfast. That was a surprise as we were on vacation. The initial family room toilet bowl was facing the wall it was so crammed. Complained & the manager got us another room with a more spacious toilet outlay.

    Central location. Daily breakfast provided . Good price point. Good size family room. Manager addressed my issues on the toilet layout & change our rooms.

    Can’t speak for everyone, but for the bed I was in personally, has a plastic mattress protector which I get needs to protect the mattress. But it had tears in which made it a little uncomfortable for me and it made a lot of noise when getting into bed

    The location was excellent and the rooms and communal areas were kept very clean and tidy

    - bed was a bit too hard and pillows too thin for my liking - weird goopy gunk came out of a pipe in my bathroom which looked like actual faeces. I alerted front desk, and they were prompt to clean it up Other than those two things, everything else was fine.

    Good location, good staff, good facilities

    Facilities are in need of renovation, the hallway and bathroom have a stale smell. It can be noisy depending on other guests' behaviour. Location is good but the area is very busy, with people coming from every side, if this isn't your jam, you shouldn't stay in this area.

    Bed was comfortable and had space around for all things which was great. Breakfast was also okay. Location is close to a lot of Seoul attractions.

    It's just the bathrooms that are a bit tiny (as is with most hostels in seoul). And the housekeeping didn't replace the toilet paper while i was there ( i didn't inform them either). Need more space or hooks for towels and clothes when you're showering.

    It's right in the middle of the bustling Myeongdong chaos. Near all the food joints, pubs, shopping, convenience stores. And a short walk from the subway. So it's convenient with your backpack or even strolling luggage. The beds are wide and really comfy. Staff is helpful and cheerful and the breakfast might be simple, but does the job. (toast, boiled eggs, cereal etc). It's quite worth it

    Breakfast was OK, but not much space to sit for a long period and chat. Room size was ok if you are using it to sleep and clean up (base). Bed was a little on the hard side. But it's down to the individual preference.

    The location was perfect. If you are doing day trips, pick-ups are nearby. Eating out in the evening, you had so much choice, and the night market is on your doorstep.

    The windows were not that clean and didn’t have much of a view due to the dirty windows. The lady with the long black hair at the reception wasn’t that nice or helpful.

    The bathrooms were my biggest issue. They definitely needed to be cleaned out at least twice a day and were very uncomfortable (but manageable) if you are 5’10 or taller.
