Great hostel with Netflix TV in the lobby, a rooftop with tables and chairs where everyone sits and socialise. Cheap beers. But the biggest pro is the amazing manger himself - Jin. Fun guy, social and outgoing. Clearly doing it out of love and not for the money.

Amazing place to stay in the heart of Hongdae. Hostel has a cozy vibe with a comfortable common space with couches to chill and meet other guests while watching/listening to K-pop. Big kitchen where you can make your own food and Jin sells drinks directly from his fridge which is convenient. And always offering coffee or tea which is nice.I've stayed on multiple occasions and got to stay in the dorm rooms as well as the bigger private room that can sleep 4. Was nice to have the big room with private bathroom, if you are 3 or 4 I would recommend this room if it's available.The real thing that makes this stay exceptional is the host himself Jin. He's a super fun, outgoing host who is always ready to help guests with any needs. He puts in a lot of effort to create a social and comfortable space for all guests, and even organizes plans with the guests like walks, dinners, and hangouts. If you are looking for a fun place to stay in Seoul where you will meet others and share experiences with other travellers this is definitely the place to stay.Highly recommend! 10/10
