I'm not sensitive to accommodation and mostly stay in shared rooms in hostels. But this hostel was really just enough. The location is really great, but unfortunately that's where it ends. The room doesn't look like the pictures, it was really extremely dirty, as if the room hadn't been cleaned or bed linen washed since the room was set up. It is also very loud and the mattress feels like you are about to be impaled by the mattress spring. You share a small bathroom with all other guests. So if you're unlucky you have to wait 2 hours until everyone has finished showering one after the other and the bathroom is free.

The aircon in my room was not working and the staff didn't care too much about it. In 2 nights there i managed to sleep 6 hours (in total).
The only staff member who tried to help was a girl with dark and straight hair.

I was worried because it was too cheap, about 20,000 won per night, but it was worth worrying about.I was so shocked that I checked in at 11pm and came out at 4am without showering.

Beds completely sagging so your back hurts. Smell of rat urine in staircase area. Don't know how often the place is cleaned. It's in desperate need of refurbishment.

I was here for 4 nights. Never once I saw the staffs clean the bathrooms. Neither did they sweep the floor. The place was managed by a group of French whom I presumed are foreign students at nearby Universities. The fridge was stocked with expired food filled with mold & fungus, again nobody bothered to check & clear. The cleaned bedlinen inside the washine machine, all too busy, nobody free to take them out to dry. Note the check-in time is 4pm, if you’re early, there may not be anyone in premise to open the door for you. However the location is truly great.

It was okay, the location is the best of the hostel. The beds are hard and curtains have arrived even on the last days of their lives. Room smells a bit. But you couldn't ventilate. But you could use the kitchen, free water and a rooftop terrace.

The hostel is run by a group of french people that doesn't care at all about the place or guests, pictures are not accurate, everything is a mess, the staff is the laziest I ever seen, they don't even bother cleaning the floor even when there is dead cockroaches on it. Staff are coughing all the time, specially one of the guys, coughing every ten seconds, never wearing a mask. That same guy was brushing his teeth and spit out everything on the kitchen sink with plates and cutlery. They made you wear this disgusting sandals to use in the bathroom that are never washed, you have to share them with all the staff and others guests, they are full of mold, same with everything in the bathroom all covered with mold. This is the most disgusting place I ever been and the most irresponsible staff ever, incredible really, I can't believe there is people that can live in those conditions. Don't come to this horrible place, you will not have a good time, or even sleep well, they don't put covers on the pillows or change the sheets, this place is worst than a jail.
