Too many mosquitos
The location is ok and continent but the dorms are paper thin and regardless to the fact that the window was open it felt stuffy
There were tons of mosquitos each night so it was impossible to sleep. (Despite the fact that the windows had nets on them

Great place to meet other fellow travellers but I should have just stayed at my other hostel in Myeongdong for the whole time given the place is far from the main places I wanted to go to, and costs roughly the same.
This place doesn't have an elevator so if you have heavy luggage you'll be dragging it up some stairs. It's quite dirty and there is a gap under the cabin curtains so no complete privacy. There was also a sock left hanging on top of the curtain, presumably from the previous guest that slept in my bed. If you have an upper bed, the wooden stairs are slightly broken on the side so there's risk of getting splinters if you're not careful. Powerpoints are indented so any big bulky travel adapter you have won't fit, and you'll have to buy a small one that can accommodate for your big adapter at reception. There are also no lockers for your belongings.
To get a towel you had to pay a rental fee. The shower facilities weren't that great, with things broken.
Check-in was also quite slow, as I waited 30 minutes in line. Recommend you leave your luggage at the reception area and go do whatever you need to do and come back later when you're free.
Owner was also openly vaping in the building.

Close to transport & relatively clean
About 10minute walking distance to the nearest metro station.
It’s not spotless, but relatively clean.
The Lounge did have a bit of a smell situation going on.
Our stay was quiet as not many guests were occupying anyways.

Good for the price
The hostel was really empty when I stayed there. I was the only one staying in a 6-bed room which was nice but it would have also been nice to meet people. The staff were to themselves so didn't really get to meet them. The bar area is fine but everything was pricey. BATHROOMS WERE GROSS. Mold was growing everywhere and the beds had hair all over them, walls had snot, and there were mosquitos. As said in the title, this was a good price for the place but the location of the hostel was a bit creepy to walk to in the middle of the night.
Not angry just not sure how to feel of it.

Convenient location, walking proximity to Hongdae
Shared the room with with 5 other guests, making it slightly cramped. The breakfast they provide is toast with spread, anything else such as coffee or tea is chargeable. While it is not the cheapest hostel, it is located in a convenient location, walking proximity to Hongdae.

I really enjoyed my stay there! The staff are really nice, friendly and helpful. The pub is good though! Location of the hostel is pretty convenient, it is near hapjeong station and in walking distance to hongdae. But the hostel is a bit difficult to find at first time, anyway, google map will help.
I would probably stay here again if i go Seoul next time!

Great Place to Stay
I stayed for a week and had a great time. The owner was very nice and his staff were great! The location was far from the tourists places but you can easily figure out how to get there by subway. Hongdae is also walking distance from this hostel where you can experience the nightlife. There is a market close by called Mapjeong where you can enjoy local food. Mapo Dumpling is close and it is open 24 hours with $3 ramen soup to cure your hangover. It is across Tous Les Jours which is also a great place to relax with coffee and pastries.

Nice Hostel
The staff were very kind.
The room I stayed in was fairly clean. But it had a little vanity in it and when I opened it, it was filled with dead bugs.
The stairs were fairly steep but thankfully a staff member helped me carry my luggage up to the highest floor where I stayed.
In the morning there was a terribly annoying ringing sound like a cellphone alarm that went on for 3 hours! I can heard the people in the other rooms complaining about it too.
I was unable to have breakfast because the staff couldn't find the food! We just had water. One guest got pretty upset and left the place in an angry state.
I had to check out early but the check out area was locked so I had to leave my key in the room.

Pretty Average
This hostel is located close to Hongdae and convenient to public transport but if you are thinking about the single room your money is better spent elsewhere. Perhaps the dorms are better value as there are plenty of good reviews but the single room is very disappointing.
Although this is a hostel the pricing for a single room is similar to that of many of the local 4 star hotels, however the service and amenities do not come close. There are very steep stairs and if you have more luggage than a backpack getting up to your room is quite a workout. The front desk is closed between 10am and 3pm and I found the staff quite rude even when the desk was open. If you need to speak to the manager he is there only on Fridays so good luck with that too.
We booked for 8 nights but only stayed for 3. They have a very strict cancellation policy so we chalked those extra 5 nights up as a lesson in being more selective for the future. But I hope this review is helpful to anyone else looking to stay here.

Good budget stay in a friendly hostel
My stay was really fine. Staff were friendly and accommodating, service was good, rooms were small, but with a great value for money overall. Recommended for a budget stay in town.

Loud hostel and not clean.
Hard to sleep with people talking in the hallway & going up and down the stairs. Breakfast is just toast & jam. If you want coffee you have to pay. It was not clean. No housekeeping.
