The location could not be better, it’s right at the insadong street. The rooms are in good condition. The room I got even had tv and our own washroom. Cleanness was good for hostel standards. The kitchen might look overwhelming but the breakfast was really good. The owner is a really nice guy and was always making sure people had what they needed

하룻밤 자기에 큰 문제는 없었지만... 다음에 또 이용하지는 않을 것 같습니다. 주차가능이라는 표시가 주차비를 내야하는 건지는 몰랐어요. 그렇게 비싸지는 않았지만... 숙박비가 저렴하니 감수해야 하는 거라고 생각하다가도...비슷한 가격에 다른 좋은 곳에 머물렀던 경험이 있어... 몇 자 적습니다.

Alles sehr zu frieden. Hostel ist in der Stadt. Fast alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß zu erreichen. Kakao Mapp, und Google Mapps helfen einen sehr gut durch die ganze Stadt. Taxi sind hier finde ich sehr günstig. Hostel Einzelzimmer für Solo perfekt aussreichend. Grüße an den Besitzer der immer freundlich und hilfsbereit war, grüße an die Katze.

Comfortable, clean and very well situated. The rooms have little extras, like a bedside lamp and multi plug access by the bed, hangers and rail, and it's quite spacious. The surrounding area is charming with a wide selection of restaurants and it's on the doorstep of the city center. I will definitely stay again when in Seoul.
