The rooms are clean and ok. There is breakfast. The iron and towels may be a bit small. Close to Cheonggu Station, convenient to the airport.

I have not taken any pictures but I hope this review can help any people on vacation coming here. First of all, great location. 1 minute walk away from both 2 subway lines and a convenience store (CU). Also 10 minute walk from a 3rd subway line which gives great accessibility. The hostel is super lively, and the staff seemed very friendly. You self check-in after 3:00 pm i believe via a tablet and paper that has your name, then you call a number using the phone on the table and get the password to your room. Breakfast is free and you can get toasts, ramen and one egg per person. The kitchen has utilities such at microwave and utensils. I lived on room 404 which is on the side of the building, rooms and their places are straight forward thanks to insignas. If you arrive early you can put your luggage at the lobby there is cctv on it. Once checked in you can change slippers and go to your room. My room was relatively clean, no spotting or bugs. Maybe a bit of mold on the door handle but to me, this isn’t a concern, the sink, shower handle, floor and toilet were clean. To activate the shower, you have to pull the thing connected to the sink mouth. Once you are done, you can push the little button back. The shower hot water was already activated. Bed is super comfortable too. I slept very well. Only down side is no elevator to go up those floors so I have to climb 3 flights of stairs to get to the 4th floor 😂 can be a bit tiring sometimes but overall, for the price, I will overlook it and deal with it

I was beaten...Judging by the color, I think it's probably a mite, but I've noticed some redness on the exposed parts of my body since the day after I stayed there. It's especially bad on the tops of my feet, both thighs, and both arms.But it's not itchy, so it might be bed bugs. . .It's a shame because the staff was very nice. I would like them to take measures such as checking the futon for any abnormalities and cleaning it regularly.I hope it gets better, but maybe it's the price I pay for choosing a hotel that's too cheap? I pray for future improvements and measures.P.S. I thought it was a mite, but the itching appeared a few hours later, and black droppings came from my pajama pants? Unfortunately, it looks like bed bugs.I'm spending the night feeling extremely anxious about whether or not someone has invaded my home. There are no adults so far...
