    A pretty standard hostel that will give you what you need (not bad but not great). The bar area is a nice place to chill with cheap drinks. The location is great within a quiet neighbourhood which is only about 10 minutes walk from the main Hongdae area. The beds were comfortable enough with enough room to sit up and a small cabinet to store your things. The doors are secured with pin entry locks so you'll be safe. The soundproofing is pretty good considering they play music downstairs.

    Super lovely, clean and quiet guest house in such a great area, it’s down a side street so it’s quiet but just a short walk you’re in the hub of restaurants, shops, cafes and more. The room it’s self was clean, spacious, bright and really comfy. Each floor has a mini kitchen and showers / toilet which we’re all clean with everything you need. The hosts were super responsive and kindly let me store my bags before I moved to my next location. Thank you so much ~
