Five stars given to this hotel due to its location. The hostel is close to Hongik University Station. The room was nice but the toilet was small. The facilities are complete and you can add water freely in the lobby. This hostel is definitely a great value choice for any travelers.

It's very close to the subway. The store manager speaks English and Japanese very fluently. Whenever I meet him, he will say hello with a smile. He is really a tall and handsome European dad!The power supply is also very sufficient and comes with a charging cable. There are also reading lights that are not always available in many hotels, and a toothbrush is also included.The Hongdae business district is nearby, and you can also see large-scale protests from inside the hotel. You can feel the real pulse of the city, which is really great.
