Wouldn't stay again

This place does elf check-in, which is fine but not very welcoming. I stay in hostels for the fun atmosphere and typically get great recommendations from hostel staff, but this was not available. the cube itself was fine, the bed had a mirror, outlet and hangers. The problem however was the storage space, there is a locker in room for things that are about the size of a large backpack/duffel, not even a backpacking backpack. The space left between the foot of my bed and the wall was just a few inches more than my waist, it was very tight quarters for myself, let alone interacting with any roommates. between the tiny lockers and the lack of floor space, everyone was left to leave their luggage unattended in the lounge area. On top of this, the lounge area is packed with picnic benches that you cannot access without climbing on. They did however have built in outlets with various plug-ins. All in all, very inconvenient, didn't enjoy the stay, I guess fine for the money, location was good.

Though it was the first time to staying a capsule hotel, the bed was not too tiny and i could have a very good sleep! The location was also good, walking distance to myeondong, namsan cable car, which is very convenient!

I liked the bed more than other hostels I've stayed in Seoul, but I also like the cube thing. There wasn't a lot of places to put your stuff, but I didn't bring a lot. They do give you a locker. The common area was a little cramped. They were doing construction at an adjoining property and it was loud when they got started in the morning, but that won't last forever. The breakfast was decent. It is a little walk up a hill, but not far from the subway.

Great location, basic breakfast provided. This however is not a hotel, its a hostel - dont let the name confuse you. Beds were moderately comfortable however the rooms were hot, stuffy, noisy and a bit smelly. Toilet and shower rooms were unclean most of the time, covered in water and hair. Wouldnt recommend.

Excellent hostel in an amazing location

I stayed at this hostel during a quick solo trip to Seoul and it was awesome. The location is literally within walking distance from Myeongdong and the cable car for Seoul Tower. I was able to come and go as I pleased throughout the day and drop off shopping easily. All the staff spoke English so check in was easy and the facilities were good too. When I come back to Seoul I will definitely stay here again and I have recommended it to others too.
