Only good for overnight stays, not for long travel stays
Pros:

The location of this hostel is very convenient, and the price here is really cheap. It's good only for overnight stays. This place is decent considering its cheap price.

Cons:

I've checked in this hostel multiple times, but the experience is different every time depending on the room I am assigned to. This time, the sink in the bathroom of my room was very clogged (again), and the showerhead was so bad the water pressure coming out was so low and weak, it was really upsetting. I'd rather not shower everytime I'm checking in this hostel. Also the girl that helped me checked in was not that friendly compared to the lady last time.

Varios puntos por mejorar
Pros:

It's in a great location. Two different subway lines are just a few blocks away.

Cons:

The cleaning of the common room was very poor. It was always dirty during the three days I was there. There's only one cup for the entire hostel and not a single kitchen utensil. It's the first hostel I've been to that doesn't have curtains over the beds. The automatic light in the room would turn on as soon as I moved.

Good location for Seoul but the room itself was terrible. There was mold all over the walls and we felt super uncomforta
Pros:

Good location and close to 2 metro stations

Cons:

There was huge patches of mold on our walls, it was a terrible surprise to discover and also we just were scared of getting intoxicated by it. Have never wanted to leave a hotel room this bad for my health.

Pros:

Most affordable place in Seoul, but that comes at a cost, staff cleans the room everyday.

Cons:

not the most comfortable stay, no curtains and not so sturdy beds. You get what you pay for

Pros:

To sleep a night you can stand it… but only if you’re out of options or small budget… i wouldn’t recommend

Cons:

Smell, hard beds, not clean, small room, no security, weirdly positioned … anyways complicated

Very good for cheap and decent overnight stay
Pros:

I think this is already my fourth time checking in this hostel, because it's very decent and cheap. This time, I got to meet the reception staff for the first time because I checked in early in the morning, and the lady named Ana was really nice and helpful. She assisted me in my check in very warmly. I also like this hostel because it's near to the bus terminal.

Cons:

I think this place is only best for overnight stay, because the dorm room can get so cramped cos it's actually small and the ceiling can smell moldy.

Worst hostel I ever stayed in. Please don't book it.
Pros:

Location was alright as it was near the metro station.

Cons:

Cleanliness was very very poor, bedsheets was torn, kitchen was extremely dirty with only microwave in it. There was mold in the bathroom vent and AC. Very poor ventilation in the room. I have in many hostels, this was the worst hostel I ever stayed in. Payed almost 170 Euros for 3 nights. This hostel is not managed by not Koreans. Please don't book this hostel...please. your trip will get ruin. Seoul cube was much better.
