    Room starting to show visible signs of wear but overall hygiene still fine. The beds were so-so: I think the cheap materials of the duvet and mattress make the beds too warm and brooding.

    Excellent location, lovely bakery and other cafes literally next door. Metro and bus also within less than 5 mins walking distance. Excellent air conditioning.

    Value for Money, great location , room was big! Perfect if you want to stay near gangnam !

    Bath room has no hanger , lack of places to hang your towel and clothes. Basin was separately located outside the toilet. It would be great if is in the same place. A little inconvenient but all good. Towel provided has a strong chlorine smell hence requested for a change.

    Location is good, check-in was easy. Instructions were clear - no issues with locating and checking-in. Everything was self service. Common area can be found on Level 5 that is shared.

    • there is no room service which is not ideal for longer stays • you message the hotel to get new towels and toiletries • twice the hotel was unable to provided toiletries i asked for so i had to buy my own shower gel • i don’t understand when there is someone at reception as hours seem to be irregular

    • really clean and comfortable stay • located close to restaurants, cafes, convenience stores and public transport but not in touristy area itself either • communal kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment • laundry room free to use

    The hotel is located in a wonderful area near the metro station. There are many shops and cafes around. The room was very nice and clean, the staff was very friendly. On the 5th floor there is a kitchen with a terrace. I spent a very comfortable time here and I want to come back here again next time.

    check-in needs to be with receptionist and they weren’t always there. So wait time is needed.

    self-service, able to get hot water refilled during cold weathers. Entry to the building at night has keypad locked so it’s safe for me (female) at night. everything in the room is sufficient.

    I like the roof top and the shared kitchen. They have filter water there and you can cook your own food. They have all the equipment. I also loved that there was an elevator. The beds and pillows was comfy.

    The floor wasn't the cleanest, some people making too much noise when entering their rooms at 3am, but it was just a moment

    The kindness of the personal and the possibility to be in a "espace with others (5th floor), also that the room had a tv and the proximity to the metro!! Great!!

    A bit dark room due to buildings surrounding the hostel. This is however very common in Seoul.

    Great location next to Gyode station (line 3 and 2), lots of restaurants and cafes nearby, staff were super helpful and the kitchen area was also nice and clean. Room was very clean and can be cleaned upon request. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was clean, too. There is a laundry room on the second floor which was convenient. Highly recommended

    the staff weren’t around most of the time and didn’t reply to the messages after checkin too. I only saw them once and managed to get more toilet rolls then

    there were no desk staff on weekends so it was quite hard to navigate things that we needed during our check-out time. however, this can be fixed by intentionally coordinating your weekend needs in advance during their office hours :)

    love how quiet the place is and how it’s just a few steps away from the train station. i also appreciate the interior design of the place 💖

    Adding toothpaste and extra soap to the bathroom would be nice.

    I really like this place. It is clean and stylish with comfortable beds. The kitchen was spacious and equipped with everything you need. I also really like the terrace and spent several evenings there. The place is close to the metro station which is convenient. Unfortunately, this area is a little far from the most famous areas of Seoul, but if you need to stay somewhere here, I will recommend it.
