Hi Kenneth,I just wanted to express my gratitude for the incredible experience at your hostel. You and your team are truly doing an outstanding job. It's not often that I feel at home in a new place, especially in a new city, country, and even continent. But at Inno, I felt right at home from the moment I arrived, and I met so many wonderful people during my stay. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!Wishing you all the best and see you again soon! ❤️Emily

The staffs were friendly and so were guests, welcoming vibe overall. Their bar/lounge area and events really set the tone for, well, socializing. Also their draft beer is TASTY. mhm. I was on a solo trip which wasn't going bad because I like traveling alone, but you never know how much better it can get through the people that you meet. The accommodation itself wasn't obviously as fancy as luxury hotels but was good enough for its price. Will definitely come back if I pay another visit to Korea. IF there still are rooms available lol

Great location, comfortable beds, but everything could be a lot cleaner; the rooms are ok, but the bathrooms & showers are all very grimy.Also it’s a shame the social area is closed late at night too as there’s no where to hang out late in the evening, & the social area itself - although good for meeting people - is a bit dingy to hang out in.Ultimately, it’s an ok place to stay for a few days, but it’s nothing special. I do have to say that the staff working there are really lovely though, especially Yoonkyung! She’s amazing.

A good place.It is not the most luxurious one but it works if you are ok with sharing place with other people.Location is great.The only thing which was a bit tricky is as others mentioned the ventilation in the room - there are many people and not much fresh air.

Didn’t like this hostel.The good thing about this hostel is the lobby area and that you can meat people easily.And the bed area is big and good.Besides that, it’s not so good.The 14 people room is very stinky.The curtains are a bit small and lights coming through it in the morning.The shower for men has no place to put phone - no place for dry staff. And also feels dirty.The hostel does not feel clean.And I got illness from the stinky room😅
