It's very good for a Budget, traveller, but um, for me I would not stay there any more since is quite noisy at night. The most remarkable thing is washing machine can be used without any cost.

Cheap, cozy, modern
The surrounding area is useless and lacks of any atmosphere. There are many Russian restaurants and bars beside only BBQ places. So if you are into western food or an evening stroll it's not fun. The room itself was small but modern and clean. The reception stuff always a bit sleepy and the breakfast minimalistic. At least there was a kitchen for us to use...

A very nice place to stay
The facility is very nice and clean. A bathroom is very clean. Water pressure is good; shampoo & body wash are provided. The staff and the owner are very nice and cordial. Your room can be cleaned upon request. Breakfast such as cereal, milk, a loaf of breads, jams, juice, and the like is daily provided. You can cook or do laundry. It's very close to a subway station. I am very satisfied except for the fact that the bed is so hard that I was basically sleeping on the floor. My back was killing me; I was in back pain all the time. The owner was nice enough to provide me a thick padding for my satisfaction, but it wasn't good enough. Other than that, I would recommend this hostel to anyone.

Great location, Great staff
The rooms are cozy with private bathroom. There are 3 floors and you had to take the stairs but the staff will help with the big luggages which is not a problem. TLThe down side is the towel is really small then again it u can grab more at the hostel lobby. The room is relatively clean great price and location.

Just 1 minutes walk from both Airport bus 6001 stop & Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station (exit 7). Very nice services (except the guy who speaks in PTH), willing to help for everything! More than reasonable facilities & recommend to those look for a budget stay.

Close to Subway
This hotel is so close to Dongdaemun History and Cultural Park Station, which contains 3 line of subway. This makes me able to tour around the city easier. It also very nearby to Dongdaemun Shopping area. You can take a stroll down the cheonggyecheon stream and shop in dongdaemun area on evening

Can hardly walk around the room because it is so small. After staying 2 nights, requested changing to another room, the one which exactly posted at the web site and it is a little bit bigger, at least can put suitcases in between the two beds.

Will go back for this hostel
In terms of the room rent we paid, it is a super valued hostel. Hostel staff are nice, helpful and friendly, hostel is clean and well maintained even the building itself is a bit old with stairway only. The room we stayed is located on the ground floor which is near to the kitchen/breakfast area, it is a little bit noisy during breakfast time. The room has simple and modern decor equipped with all the basic appliances as described but small though. The location of the hostel is about 15 - 20 mins walk off the main road and turn into the inside small street. However, about 20 mins walk, there are subway station, lots of restaurants, shopping malls and shops, almost everything. Definitely will go back to this hostel for our next visit.

Pros: front desk service, hot water, towels/water service, decent beds and washroom. Cons: The walk to the hostel from subway is a bit dark and sketchy... although the hostel is close to exit 7 on Dongdaemun History Culture Park Station.

東大門歴史文化公園駅5号線7番出口を右に出て、左に曲り真っ直ぐ進み、すぐにありました。ソウルからは4号線で東大門歴史文化公園駅に、向かったので5号線7番出口まで結構歩きました。 東大門の市街は徒歩で行けるし、明洞なども電車でのアクセスはとても良かったです。 ティッシュが部屋に置いていないのと、シャワーは扉とカーテンを閉めても床に水が漏れてしまうので毎回シャワー後はタオルで部屋の床を拭きました。 寝るためだけのお部屋には最適だと思います。 ドライヤーは部屋に置いてありましたが、歯ブラシ、などのアメニティーはないので持参が必要です。 コンビニも近くにあるのでとても良い場所でした。 また、スーツケースの重さを測るための体重計も入り口付近に置いてあり、借りました。 管理人さんも優しくてこのホテルを選んで良かったです！

2023年の12月31日から1月６日まで滞在しました。 地下鉄の駅から２分ほどの駅近ホステル。 周囲には、安めのレストランやコンビニ（３分以内に３つ）・スーパーが立ち並んであり、非常に便利。 東大門歴史文化公園駅は、地下鉄が３本乗り入れており、どこの観光に出かけるにも、非常に便がいいです。 ホステル経営は、１人でされているとのことで、日本語も上手でしたから、安心でしたし、徒歩５分圏内のおいしいレストランを３つも紹介していただきました。 部屋は、きれいで静か。私は、６泊しましたが、１回も室内清掃をお願いせずに過ごせました。もちろん、治安も良く、夜も周囲は明るいです。 ソウルの真ん中で、こんなに安くていいのか、と思い、口コミを書くことにしました。

離地鐵站很近，走路到東大門、廣藏市場也不遠。雖然是青旅，但不必共用衛浴，房內有提供冰箱，及煮水壺。可能因為在訂房時是需要連續住4日才可，故實際入住者不多，所以很安靜。老闆友善又客氣，也不多話，對我們不會韓語、英語又菜的人來說反倒是好事。

最寄り駅の出口( ７番出口 )からは近くて、わかりやすい。 ただ、出口に行くまでがやたらと遠い。 エスカレーターやエレベーターが無くて、階段を使う階があって、スーツケースを持っての移動はキツい。 物音に気を遣う。ゴキブリが出た。 ２人なら、スーツケースを広げられるくらいの広さがあった。

良いレビューありがとうございますこの建物の部屋は虫の侵入を防ぐためにすべての穴が遮断されています 1階は人の出入りが多く、ドアが開いたままになることが多いですそれで出入り口がある2ヶ所にはいつも防虫剤が塗られています 虫が入ってくると虫の足の神経が麻痺する製品です お客さんがチェックアウトするその日、1階の廊下の入り口で見たゴキブリは虫よけのせいで動けない状態でした 目障りな場面をご覧になって本当に申し訳ありません。（翻訳機使用）

素晴らしい
東大門歴史公園駅7番出口からすぐ。 東大門ナイトショッピングにも便利な場所。 広蔵市場もタッカンマリ通りも徒歩圏内。 ホステルなのにトイレとシャワーの間にシャワーカーテンのついた十分な広さのある浴室。 トイレットペーパーの流せるトイレ。 部屋も荷物も広げらる程度の広さ。 フロントの男性も愛想良く、飲食店の予約をお願いしたらとても親切な対応。 色々な所に泊まったけれど、ここが1番でした。 タイミング合えば今後はここを常宿としたいです。
