Our stay was very comfortable. The rooms, common areas, and showers are clean, and there are no unpleasant smells either. However, it sometimes smells bad on the staircase, apparently because of the Indian restaurant on the floor below.
The private twin room has enough space to open two suitcases. The beds are comfortable and quite wide. However, the room can be a bit humid, and the window doesn't open. There is an air conditioner.
The kitchen and the terrace are simply amazing. It's very convenient and pleasant to have breakfast there.
There is a washing machine and a dryer, as well as laundry capsules.
The host is very attentive and responsive; it was nice to know we could rely on them if needed.
A note for those who might find this important: the hostel is located on the 3rd and 4th floors, and there is no elevator.
Overall, I recommend it

東大門駅から徒歩2〜3分ですが、繁華街からは少し外れたところにあります。その代わり寝る時は静かでぐっすり眠れます。
何よりもスタッフの方がとても親切です！エレベーターがなかったので、帰り重たいスーツケースをどうしようかと思っていましたが、下まで運んでくれました！
屋上からの景色も最高です！

這次只是快閃韓國剛好看到這家住宿，因為剛好那一天颱風，飛機延誤所以比較晚到韓國老闆還有特別關心情況，很方便可以自助check in，早餐還不錯唷自助式的如果下次還有機會再住，C P值蠻高的可能單人間沒有幾間下次來可以試試看，環境很新很舒適，到哪裡味道都香香的😍

剛開業不久的時候就已經收藏了!! 七月那陣子有機會到訪入住了幾天. 裝潢工業風酷酷的超級新!!整潔!!舒適! 所見即所得!! 地理位置超方便, 地鐵站出來直走一兩分鐘看到71左轉就到了!!
主理人有用心在經營而且人很好!!
頂樓的公共空間有免費泡麵還有咖啡機供大家用~ 露台應該是歡迎大家開始才回來bbq聚餐的!環境真的很不錯!! 總之就是cp值真的蠻高的!!
(早上工作人員打掃的時候會有噪音 因為門不太隔音且門縫比較大 所以提醒淺眠而且很晚才起床的朋友 請自備好一點的耳塞 畢竟這個價格真的還要什麼自行車🚲呢?

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the facilities were modern and well-maintained. You can really feel that the owner puts a lot of heart into running this place — every detail is thoughtful and well-organized.
What stood out the most was the owner’s hospitality. He gave me excellent recommendations for local food and restaurants, and every place he suggested turned out to be amazing. Thanks to him, I got to enjoy not only a comfortable stay, but also some of the best meals I had in Seoul.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I felt at home the whole time. I truly appreciate the kindness and effort that went into making this such a great experience. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m in Seoul.
Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed my stay!
I especially appreciated:
The cleanliness, quietness, and pleasant aroma of the place
Your attentive service, complimentary quality coffee, and delicious breakfast
The free laundry service and ramen cups
The organized system for labeling food in the fridge with names and checkout dates
One small suggestion: it would be even more convenient if hand tissues were available in the shower room :)
Other than that, I can't think of anything else to improve—it's a wonderful place.
I will definitely stay here again if I visit Seoul next time. I will introduce to my friends and families too.
Thank you so much!

Very nice and warm host!
The hostal is newly renovated.
The facilities are new and clean.
I love the room with window.
The shower pressure is strong and hair dryer is friendly to long hair👍🏻👍🏻
Be careful that no elevator in the building.
A few stair is a must but it is fine to me haha.
Cereal, milk, bread and egg are served every morning.
You can have chill and relax time in the rooftop and have a small drink there.
The most important thing is it is very close the Dongdaemun station with very competitive price.
