This Place

First, it was hard to find this place. There should be a sign outside of the building telling visitors the name. Second, the twin room was filthy. Hairs all on the floor and beds and the room seems to be falling apart. The guy at the desk was nice though.

Great management, great location.

The management was so helpful! We had a late check in, so the manager helped us check in over the phone. I also left my cell phone, and they kept it safe until I could return for it, even after checkout. I highly recommend this hostile for the kind staff and location. Will definitely stay again.

Would not stay again.

Staff are doing the best they can and I appreciate that, but the room condition and the bathrooms really need more work. Lounge was fine, heat was good, but the room I stayed in was quite in bad conditions, and the bathrooms had showers that are not handy to use at all. Would not stay again.

早い時間だがチェックインができるとエクスペディアの方に電話で確認を取ったのに人はおらず鍵も閉まっていないのでだれて入れるセキュリティでした。バスルームもトイレにシャワーノズルがついたようなものでした。チェックインもできないし、清潔感もなかったため別のホテルを取り直しました。

홍대 중심거리에 있고 아늑한분위기

다 좋은데 투숙객 3명이서 4층라운지에서 술마시며 떠드는것을 제지하지 않으시더군요. 덕분에 소음이 조금 심하였습니다.

Cheap and only recommended for short stays

It's a cheap hostel and near to a subway line. Getting there from the Incheon airport is easy. It has WiFi and free water. The personal speak English and are nice. But these are the only good things they have. It's rather unclean, with no intimacy at all in the shared rooms. If you're bagpacking, staying for a night or two, go for it. If not, you're probably going to be disappointed.

주인분도 친절하시고 홍대 핫한 곳에 있는데 하나도 안시끄러워 좋았어요. 통금이 없는것도 좋았는데 아쉬운 점이라면 제가 받은 침구류가 먼지가 좀 있었다는 것과 화장실 문 열기가 어렵다는점?ㅎㅎ 그리고 큰 개도 한마리 있어요! 전체적으로 저렴한 가격에 만족합니다~^^
