One of the Dirty hostels ( I've stayed in a few hostels around the world),no staff on duty, self check in, some random card on table , no alication, pick up a card and pick any room, all are just as filthy dirty, claiming over rubbish to get up stairs, contact staff over what'app, they didn't care about any concerns, no staff on checking or any time it appears, well more like they didn't just a f, mold in all the room, not air con, no kitchen just a broken microwave and kettle, tap water flooded bath, next room toilet block and poo over flowing, again staff didn't care, another guessed had been bagging for some clean sheets after a week and no clean towels no cleaning takes place in this building, oh so sorry the list could be endless, other places are just the same price look around,

Don’t visit this hostel. Terrible hostel. Extremely small crammed rooms. No sense of cleanliness. Bad smell. No windows. Pathetic. Had to come out as soon as I saw my room.

We stayed in a twin room for three nights.👍- safe lock and latches on door- convenient location, close to airport bus stop (take 6002 bus from ICN)- air conditioning worked fairly well- close to sinseol-dong subway station- good markets nearby- hostel staff fairly responsive when called on telephone- hot water in bathroom worked fine- communal washing machines + dryers and water cooler- other guests seemed pleasant and not too noisy- fridge and hairdryer provided👎- very dirty room -> sheets were not fully washed, mould everywhere, lots of dust and stains.- mattresses were on the floor without bed frames- bathroom very mouldy and dirty- sink water runs onto floor, gets gross after a few days- we saw a dead cockroach on the first night and heard squeaking noises (there is a can of cockroach spray next to reception)- beds had hair on it from previous guests- towels provided but were very stained- small window, quite stuffy in roomOverall I would not recommend this hostel unless you really want to find cheap accommodation. It was very dirty and it felt gross being in the room. There were many other hotels nearby that seemed to be similar prices but much nicer. Use KakaoMap to find hotels rather than Google Maps!!
