3.7/5Good! (475 reviews)

It had one of the best bathrooms I've stayed in while in South Korea. But the cleanliness left a bit to be desired — mirrors and glass had marks from previous users, bathroom and kettle trays weren't wiped, under the beds was loads of dust (I dropped something under the bed and that's when I noticed). Perhaps as the desk clerk pointed out, I only booked a "standard" room so the cleaning was only standard as well. But even the hallways to the elevator were not vacuumed during my three day stay.

Hostel is right at the centre of Myeongdong, perfect location to stay in. There's a korean restaurant right below of the hostel, also a convenient store. Also many others eateries surrounding the hostel. Staff were friendly, the specky guy (Didn't get his name). The only downside is the room is quite small, also the toilet in my room is filled with Mold smell. Waters were dripping from the ceiling (Don't know where it came from), my room number was 402. Other than that, all is good. Great place to stay in with an affordable price!
