Even though most rooms are shared, it is very private. When I used the bathroom or kitchen there were rarely people, so it was really relaxed. Richard is also very friendly and always ready to help! If I ever come back to Seoul I would stay here again :)

Great start to my solo trip in Korea!

Room/overall place was clean when I arrived and the location of the place was very convenient! There are lots of food/cafe establishments just a short walk away, and the nearby stations make it very easy to get around. There is no elevator, but that wasn’t an issue for me!

It was a wonderful experience been here. Richard was very friendly and always kept the space clean, it was a pleasant stay and I would definitely return! The bathrooms were always clean and he provided us with shampoo and all that stuff. Just as he provided us with personal cleaning products.

This hostel is 2 mins walk from metro station, surrounded with many restaurants, coffee shops and a big Seoul Forest Park, the ambience is cozy and chill which you can feel another side of Seoul. We rented a private room with a private bathroom which was nice, clean and quiet though not very big. They also have a common kitchen for cooking and eating, provided with free water and tea which is a credit. Their rooftop is spacious and good for reading and chatting. Their host is super nice and polite, he makes the hostel very tidy and neat.

屋上がとても素敵でした！シャワールームに鍵が無い点と、ドミトリーのベッドカーテンが短い点が少し気になりましたが、オーナーの方が優しく、居心地良く過ごせました。ソウルの森や聖水エリアを散策するのに良い立地です！

地點挺方便，離地鐵站只需步行大约3分鐘。旁邊就是Subway。三人房的房間空間細了些，但作睡覺用已足夠。小厨房還供應不同的水果味茶包，冬天早晚喝一杯真的是舒服。浴室熱水非常熱，水力又充足。CP值蠻高的。推介单身背包客入住。

Le séjour s'est très bien passé. L'hôtel est de type auberge de jeunesse. Vous trouverez à votre disposition une cuisine équipée et la chambre était confortable (chambre individuelle). L'accueil est super et chaleureux. Vous pouvez contacter la personne via le téléphone à l'accueil en cas d'absence et la personne arrive très rapidement.
