stayed here for a week in june and found it reasonably good value, albeit with some quite major cons. but first, the pros: • the location — honestly great, it's a 5 minutes' walk from coex/airport bus stop. the nearest train station is a little further away, maybe 10-15 minutes, but i didn't find it a hassle. there's a gs25 right around the corner and some nice diners. • the hostel is new and quite beautifully decorated. i found the capsule to be quite clean and conveniently outfitted, and wifi was great too. • staff were all friendly and helpful. cons: • i booked the capsule suite because i wanted the desk for work purposes. the fact that the rooms are inaccessible for "cleaning" from 11am-4pm is a pretty major con in my opinion, especially since there isn't even daily housekeeping. i don't see why i couldn't have stayed in there during the time. • there are only curtains, not doors, which means you can hear pretty much everything — luggage being zipped, the main door being opened etc. they do provide earplugs which i was very thankful for. • the fixtures in the showers weren't very good quality. a few times i entered and the tap handles were missing etc. think this needs major work. bath mats would be great as well. all in all, i think the hostel is a nice basic option for a night or two. but some improvements would elevate the experience significantly!

깨끗하고 인테리어도 예뻐서 좋은데 화장실이 라운지(?) 안에 있는게 아쉬워요.. 다른 사람들 멀쩡한 차림으로 작업하는데 그 공간을 쌩얼에 후줄근하게 왔다갔다하니까 창피하더라구요..

강남에서 이 가격이 가능한가 싶을 정도로 가성비가 좋은 숙소입니다. 편리한 체크인/체크아웃 시스템, 어메니리도 다 구비되어 있고 새로 오픈해서 그런지 객실 및 시설도 깔끔하고 예뻐서 좋았어요. 잠만 딱 자고 나오기 아주 좋은 숙소라 다음에 또 강남 올 일 있을 때 재방문할 생각입니다. 강추입니다!
