Wonderful value for money. The location is ideal, extremely close to the center: all tourist attractions are quickly reachable by metro. Everything is extremely clean, warm, and comfortable: room, beds, linen, and a luxuriously large bathroom with a great shower. Space is tight in Seoul, but we managed well with our 23kg-luggages. Service and hospitality was beyond excellent!! For winter tourists: hot floor heating, hot luxurious showers, tight windows, soft cozy beds - highly recommended.

    Well appointed rooms. We asked for a larger room as we were staying for 5 nights & they accommodated us. The bathrooms were great and the rooms were clean. Breakfast was part of our room charge which was convenient as buying breakfast in Seoul can be a bit problematic. The staff were polite and helpful. While the entry laneway didn’t look wonderful it is surprising how many good hotels were located in the area. We loved roaming around and walking to a little eatery every night and the locals were great.

    Amy’s a great host. Communication was very clear and efficient and friendly. She’s always willing to assist whenever we needed help and was very responsive to our requests/queries. The accommodation location is right in the midst of it all in Myeongdong— shopping, restaurants, convenience stores, you name it. There’s a washing machine in the room, which we found very handy. We’ll definitely stay again when we visit Seoul next year.

    Excellent location, the place itself was super clean and beautifully decorated, we had all necessary amenities in the room. Hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. And the breakfast was 10/10 - one of my friends can't eat pork for religious reasons and our lovely host fixed another type of traditional breakfast for her (different from what they served to everyone that day).

    Dean is a great host. The hostel is very clean and location is fantastic! It feels like you're at a friend's place. Breakfast is good (eggs, toast, juice...).
