Very helpful and friendly staff. The bar in the basement is superb. The breakfast is great for the price. The rooms, the conditions of the floors could need a re-touch, the windows need cleaning, and the rooftop could be better organized and bigger towels. If these things were taken care of it could be even better!/ Swedish gym owner

This is an excellent place to stay in Seogwipo as a backpacker. The location is awesome, surrounded by the food street, local restaurants and the major sightseeing places around the southern coast.The hostel is pretty big, with a separate building for private rooms. There's a breakfast café, a pub and 2 outdoor seating areas. The common areas are supercool, with multiple games. The staff were super helpful with everything, ranging from phone chargers to medical issues.The rooms were great, with a pin code locking mechanism and bathrooms with all the basic toiletries.Definitely recommend this place if you're looking to socialize with a budget.
