Perfect for a short trip as a budget traveler.

We're quite positive about the place, it's good for budget travelers. The owner Soo and the husband Ilir are very friendly and they gave us good advice around Seoul. Nice welcome even though we were early but they tried to do their best to prepare our room. Good location near the subway and markets.

The room was rather small, there was no real closet for the clothes.

great value and friendly staff

the location was a little confusing to find at the beginning. But after locating it, the location is great, close to metro station and food stalls. Rooms are small but great for short or medium length stay. But room details definitely reflect the attention staff paid while decorating and cleaning the rooms. Staff are wonderful and helpful. definitely exceed my expectation.

the maps showed on the website were not updated which made it a little difficult to find upon arrival.

1. The location was awesome!

1. The location was awesome! Less than 5 minutes walking from Dongdaemun. You can also find the City Wall starting in Heunginjimun Gate, a food market and a shopping area nearby. 2. The room was clean and spacious and the bed comfortable. 3. The area was quiet with not much noise at night.

I would suggest to improve a little bit the breakfast including some fresh fruit. Everything else was perfect!

Location was awesome! Good value for money. Great hosts.

Noise from the outside - can’t really be helped. Other guests were noisy coming back into the building late at night, and then proceeding to make food.

Wonderful

Actually I stayed at the vanilla suite 3 this time and the experience was wonderful. The suite 3 was newly opened and the host offered us to have a free upgrade. It is a traditional Korean building but with brand new furnishing. It is really special and the location is also nice.

The bathroom is a little bit small than I expected. When we took a shower the water would usually leak out a bit from the shower.

Good. Loved that it was clean and the room size was just eights

It was very clean and everything smelled fresh. There were a lot of choices for breakfast (eggs, spam, toast, cup noodles, cereal, juice, coffee, milk and more).

The walls were a little thin so we had to be extremely quiet and careful after the curfew . The location is just a few mins walk to the subway but you do need to walk into a quiet small alley.

staff there were very nice provide us good tips for travelling and eating around. If u like midnight Shopping I would recommend this place to you, as the location is quite near to nice shopping mall, we enjoy our shopping during the stay

The room is quite old to us and there is a musty odour caused by the dampness that couldn't dry up and the space was too small for big luggage. This was our second stay, we paid lesser for a few night stay at hong dae yet we got better deals.

Pretty much everything.

Pretty much everything. The owners Ylia and Soo are very kind and supportive, helped me a lot with recommendations and tips. Little touches of kindness are seen all around, since the first contacts by WhatsApp to know if I have arrived safely in Seoul until the goodbye message. The facilities are new and clean, bed are very comfortable, kitchen well equipped and the breakfast amazing. The locations is pretty good, very close to subway line 1 and 4. Highly recommended for sure.

The location is really nice, near dongdamen and also there is a bus stop, so you can easily take bus to airport nearby the hostel. We booked the room on the day we arrived and we arrived late, but they were waiting for us and introduced about their hostel in every detail. The breakfast was also great for travelers.

Excellent location, hosts, food and room.

This property is excellent basic, clean accommodation. It is a very pleasant friendly home from home in a good location. The owners (Ilia and Soo) are very pleasant, caring, helpful hosts. Their English is excellent and translation is readily available. The help yourself breakfast is tasty, varied and good.

The Korean beds are a bit firm for my liking.
