“Nice one/two days stay with a possibility to pick a single room”
Location and stuff. I’ve got fast check-in into my room, which was ready for me earlier Not a lot of place, but it’s a hostel, so everything is fine. Especially, when you get full double bed for that price

The staff were extremely hospitable, and even helped us store one of our bags for almost a week after checking out while we travelled outside Korea for a while. Very nice staff and clear communication. Big thank you!

“Affordable stay for convenient location near Hongdae”
Location was a short walk away from Hongdae Station (Exit 3). It was also closer to the AREX entrance hence very convenient to arrive or depart to the airport. The stay was comfortable as I booked the room to stay alone. The bed was a double bed, spacious enough for me to sleep and put my things around. The room also has clothes rack, TV, mirror, mini fridge, and hairdryer for use. The showering facilities was good with sufficient water pressure and warm water. Body soap/Shampoo/Conditioner and hand towels were provided. If you need bath towels, you can purchase one at 2000won from the reception. The staff at the reception was friendly and helpful. They were able to converse in English. During my stay, they also helped me to order Korean Fried Chicken to my room. Every morning, simple breakfast with cereals and milk, juice packets, white bread and jam (with toaster), and some snacks were provided. There are two exits to the Hotel- Level 1 to the main street and Level B1 into Yeonnam dong alleys. One can easily access convenience stores within 5 min of walk (like GS25 and EMart24). Additionally, the alleys have restaurants opening till 10 or 11pm at night hence it is safe to walk around the area. Just right outside the hotel exit at level B1, there is a coin laundry. Standard wash is available from 5000won while dryer operates with 500won/4min. It is very convenient for anyone who is looking to do their laundry during their stay.

Its location is perfect, easy access to train station and centrally located in Hongdae. The beds are comfortable and the 24/7 coin laundry located right next door is ideal.
