Even though most rooms are shared, it is very private. When I used the bathroom or kitchen there were rarely people, so it was really relaxed. Richard is also very friendly and always ready to help! If I ever come back to Seoul I would stay here again :)

Great start to my solo trip in Korea!

Room/overall place was clean when I arrived and the location of the place was very convenient! There are lots of food/cafe establishments just a short walk away, and the nearby stations make it very easy to get around. There is no elevator, but that wasn’t an issue for me!

This hostel is 2 mins walk from metro station, surrounded with many restaurants, coffee shops and a big Seoul Forest Park, the ambience is cozy and chill which you can feel another side of Seoul. We rented a private room with a private bathroom which was nice, clean and quiet though not very big. They also have a common kitchen for cooking and eating, provided with free water and tea which is a credit. Their rooftop is spacious and good for reading and chatting. Their host is super nice and polite, he makes the hostel very tidy and neat.

地點挺方便，離地鐵站只需步行大约3分鐘。旁邊就是Subway。三人房的房間空間細了些，但作睡覺用已足夠。小厨房還供應不同的水果味茶包，冬天早晚喝一杯真的是舒服。浴室熱水非常熱，水力又充足。CP值蠻高的。推介单身背包客入住。

Le séjour s'est très bien passé. L'hôtel est de type auberge de jeunesse. Vous trouverez à votre disposition une cuisine équipée et la chambre était confortable (chambre individuelle). L'accueil est super et chaleureux. Vous pouvez contacter la personne via le téléphone à l'accueil en cas d'absence et la personne arrive très rapidement.

여성 1인 이용객이 묵기에는 정말 짱입니다. 무엇보다 안전하고, 조용하고, 사장님께서 친절하십니다. 요즘같이 무서운 세상에는 안전성이 최우선입니다. 숙박하며 조금만 불편한 점이 있어도 사장님께 전화하면 바로 달려오셔서 해결해주십니다.
