Good afternoon I stayed at this hostel in June 2017. Located in the very center of Seoul, near Gwanghwamun station, the palace is a 5-minute walk (Gyeongbokgung). …

Great location. Good room, but just a little small for more than one person. Hot water only available during limited times. Excellent value for the privacy. Staff was kind but limited English.

I stayed on March 19th...They said they would give me room 204 as the best family room.The floor of the room was cold and cold all night long.When I called the owner, he said he was in another room.It's warm, it's okay, but that room is the only one like that.I hung up the phone after saying they would raise the temperature, but the room was cold until morning...I was introduced to this place by an acquaintance who said he knew the owner well, but I regretted having spent that money on going to a nearby motel instead.I don't want to give even one star, but I have no choice.Please note this if you are planning to use family room 204.

We stayed at the Wow hostel for three days. The location is center. It's just a 2 minute walk from the metro. The hosts are very hospitable and welcoming. We were met very well. The hostel lives up to its price. …
