숙소 위치가 지하철역/버스정류장 근처라 이동이 정말 편리했어요! 1층 주변의 활기찬 소리와 최상층 계단, 컴팩트한 공간감이 조금 특별한 매력(?)으로 기억에 남았습니다.
Pros:

지하철역/버스정류장 근처라 이동이 아주 편리해요.

Cons:

숙소는 전체적으로 아늑했지만 몇 가지 아쉬운 점이 있었습니다.
1층 주변 시설에서 가끔 소음이 들려 휴식이 조금 어려웠고, 최상층으로 올라갈 때 엘리베이터가 없어 불편함이 있었습니다.
또한 실내 공간이 다소 협소하게 느껴져 개방감이 부족한 인상이었어요.
그럼에도 불구하고 위치와 서비스는 만족스러웠습니다. 향후 개선 기대하겠습니다!

Pros:

2段ベッドのお部屋に1人で泊まる感じでした。建物自体は古そうですがお部屋の中はとてもキレイで快適でした。フロントの男性は日本語がお上手で丁寧に対応して下さり助かりました。立地は広蔵市場に近く、地下鉄の1番に加えて4番が使えて明洞へのアクセスも良いですよ！

Ok stay
Pros:

Spent the weekend in Seoul and found the hotel/hostel in a cool location, next to the subway and a number of useful bus lines, including the limousine airport bus. The rooms themselves are comfortable, although quite small at times.

Cons:

There is a lot of noise at times - not really in the common areas (although the kitchen area can be a bit crowded), but from the guest rooms, and it is a nuisance. Also, the cleaning of the top bunks is not great. It ends up being a bit pricey for what you get.

Nice place and great location
Pros:

Great location, easy to walk around and get to the main temples. The room is small but the space is well used and has all the commodities. Common kitchen, water, tea and coffee available as well. Instructions were clear and easy to understand. Recommend this place if you're staying for a couple nights in Seul.

Cons:

The room is too hot and can be cramped for 3 people. The bathroom has a weird smell.

Perfect hostel with great location
Pros:

I really appreciated the friendly staff—they were welcoming and helpful throughout my stay, which made the experience much more enjoyable. The location was also a big plus, as it was convenient and easy to get around from there. Another nice touch was the complimentary coffee and ramen, which added extra value and made the stay feel more comfortable and thoughtful.

Cons:

The room was quite small, which made it feel a bit cramped, especially for longer stays. I also noticed that the partition walls were too thin, so noise from neighboring rooms could be heard easily, affecting privacy and rest. Additionally, the bathroom did not have a bidet, which was a bit inconvenient.
