Had a really nice stay at this hostel, all of the staff were so lovely and friendly, always willing to help, the beds were comfortable, the showers and toilets always clean, the only thing it lacked was any atmosphere to socialise, otherwise a really great location and extremely central in Hongdae.

The place is well run with friendly staff, and very clean. But you do not get a room. You get a pod. Or rather a bed with a curtain. The description says 129 or 109 sqft. I have no idea were that came from since you get maybe 20 sqft. For this, it is too expensive.

The staff are amazingly helpful. ‘Panda’ is an amazing guy, so welcoming and helpful, the staff can’t do enough for you. The cafe serves fantastic coffee and has free breakfast in the morning . For those of you from NYC , things start late here , Starbucks doesn’t ope until 8.30am. The beds are super comfortable. One thing that will Surprise you if you are familiar with European hostels is that this one has no where to lock your things away . I think if they can improve anything it’s to have some lockers .

Kozayo is a hostel located above their cafe of the same name. Despite being RIGHT next to the hot party area of the legendary Hongdae district, the rooms were exceptionally quiet besides the occasional shuffling of my roommates. Be forewarned that there is a security deposit for the capsule remote (at the time 100K won). There is a small towel provided, roughly about 5~6 shower stalls per floor, and 4 toilets if i remember right. The bathroom with a toilet is a bit small, so if you're very tall or wide you may find it a bit awkward to scooch in. These are minor nitpicks however and if youre looking to be right next to the party action i can think of few better options. No major complaints.

The staff were great, especially when my flight got cancelled and needed to book 2 more nights. The rooms are small and separated by curtains, but it is very quiet, clean, and cozy. The breakfast is simple but good! The hostel is right in the center of Hongdae so you can step out the front door and go wherever you like! I had an amazing time here. Thank you KAZAYO for making my first trip to Korea memorable <3.
