Très central
Pros:

Très bon emplacement (attention grosse montée pour y accéder), chambre très fonctionnelle. A 400 m du départ du téléphérique pour la Namsan tower.

Cons:

Zéro insonorisation, nous entendons distinctement les voisins, sans parler des portes qui claquent très fort.
Chambre propre par contre les femmes de ménage ne doivent pas nettoyer sour les lits, c'est une horreur !

I took a video but I can not load it. If I had known it was a hostel—i saw several that were at leadt $100 less expensiv
Pros:

The location.

Cons:

It was a bait and Switch. I did not stay at The November. I was moved to The December. It was run down, not as advertised when I made the booking, there was no staff—and my toiled did not flush for 3 days. I had to smell feces in my room during my stay. There was no staff to report it to. I sent an e-mail but it bounced because it was a @noreply. The building was honestly very run down. I wade a reservation for what I was led to believe was a hotel but it was a hostel located on the 3rd floor of a dilapidated building. My real issue was no one was there to take care of the plumbing issue with the toilet.

Above and beyond value.
Pros:

Easy access with passcode locks, no fiddly keys, washing machine, big bathroom, air-conditioning and some bonus umbrellas in case you need one. Perfect.

Cons:

If you are tired, elderly or have mobility issues I can see the climb being tiresome and there was no elevator as far as I can tell. Wasn't an issue for us.
