Wonderful place to stay in the heart of Seoul.
Pros:

Conveniently located in central of Seoul. Easy to find, literally just across the street once you alight the Airport Limousine Bus. Easy to navigate the area, buzzing yet quiet. It may not be much for some guests, but the complimentary noodle selection is a welcomed treat after a long and exhausting day of exploration Seoul.

Great value for money! Good service. Simple and reliable!
Pros:

The hostel is easy to find, located right next to an airport bus stop and metro station. It’s also easy to navigate around the city since it’s quite central. I was offered a room on the top floor. It was small (but according to the description!), quiet, and functional. Good air conditioner, comfortable big bed!
The hostel offers laundry services, ramen station and easy check-in/check-out.
The stuff was very friendly, and I got help with my luggage!!
Would definitely consider booking again for my next trip to Seoul! Great value for money!

Cons:

Ventilation in the bathroom is connected to the overall electricity system which in turn in connected to the key card. So if you take a shower and leave to hostel, taking away your key card, there will be no ventilation in the bathroom and the floors will stay wet. The reception though offers to get extra key cards, so it wasn’t a problem.

Algo diferente
Pros:

- Buena ubicación, céntrica y cerca de metro y autobús, de fácil acceso, con restaurantes, muchas farmacias y un mercado cerca.
- La habitación es pequeña, normal en este tipo de ubicaciones en Seúl, pero con el espacio muy bien aprovechado.
- El personal es amable y tiene buen nivel de inglés.
- Hay una zona de fumadores en la azotea bien equipada con cenicero, mesa, sillas y una cubierta por si llueve o hace mucho sol.
- Buen acceso a enchufes tanto en la litera de arriba como en la de abajo.
- Nevera grande.
- Plancha vertical para huéspedes.
- La salida del metro más cercana al hotel es la 4, pero para subir con maletas pesadas, mejor toma la 8 (ascensor) y camina un poco más.

Cons:

- En la litera de arriba hacía bastante calor y la cama estaba algo dura, mientras que en la de abajo faltaba luz (una luz de noche en la parte de arriba de esa cama iría muy bien).
- Las luces no se pueden apagar/encender desde la cama.
- Es normal en Corea, pero el baño es húmedo y nos parece menos práctico que los baños occidentales con zonas separadas: es bueno saberlo para manejar expectativas.
- El ramen a disposición de los clientes está bien, pero también implica que en las zonas comunes por la noche el olor es algo desagradable.
- Acceso a la azotea y zona de fumadores solo con escalera.
- Son estrictos con manchas en toallas/sábanas y multan con 10 mil KRW cualquier mancha.

Pros:

I liked the hotel. I loved the receptionist; he helped me with transportation from the hotel to the airport. He took the time to explain how to get there and what to do. He was very kind. I loved the receptionist's service even more than the hotel itself. He was so kind and I really appreciated his attention.

Pros:

立地が良くエレベーターもある。そして清潔感があり、またスタッフのみなさん素晴らしい対応で有難かったです。リーズナブルなお宿なのに、チェックインは日本語がうますぎるスタッフの方、アウトは英語で対応いただけました。韓国語が下手なので助かりました。。私はフロントの目の前の部屋でしたが音なども特に気にならず、むしろ親切そうなスタッフの近くということで安心感を覚えるほどでした。
あと共用コーヒーメーカーがあるのも地味に嬉しかったです。朝ごはんに出かける前にコーヒーが飲めて笑。

これだけ嬉しくてこんなにお安くて良かったのかな…ありがとうございました。
また是非お邪魔したいです。その時は、今回できなかった、テラスでコーヒーかラーメンしてみたいです。ちなみにこの口コミ、帰国後に書いてますので忖度なしです。

Cons:

良くない訳ではないですが、シャワーのすぐ隣がトイレなので外国人には慣れないスタイルかなと
