Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This was one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a hostel. When I walked in, the attendant looked me up and down with clear disdain, then immediately berated me to “be quiet” — before I had even said a single word. Apparently, there was a “very important guest” staying there, and regular paying customers like me were treated like a nuisance. It was an incredibly rude and unprofessional way to welcome someone. I will never stay here again, and I strongly advise others to avoid it too.

Don’t stay here unless you are fine with music blasting 24/7 and dogs barking all night. I ended up leaving early and only staying 1 out of 3 nights. The bar(?) underneath the hostel has loud music going nonstop (no joke, it did not turn off or quieter at all) and it is located right beside a dog cafe where the dogs are barking constantly. And the bed was hard as a rock. I’m not sure if it is different on weekdays, but in the morning, there was an abundance of trash and throw up on the streets. The only positive aspect of this place was the gentleman at the front desk who was very friendly and helpful.

Terrible beds and loud music all night

The "beds" were more like boards and were incredibly uncomfortable. Destroyed my back. Plus, its in the nightclub district so there was loud dance music playing until 4am. Probably the worst hostel I've stayed at.

You can tell the owner Alex cares about this place. Taking every precaution to make sure everything is neat and tidy. Excellent spot overall. Cozy room, more than enough amenities around. Alex even showed me around the property and explained how things go in such a short amount of time. Would definitely comeback the next time I'm in Seoul. That is how a guesthouse should be run, period.
