This is an affordable hostel in Yeoksam, Gangnam.There are single rooms and 6-person dormitories.Towels and bathroom shampoo are provided, which is an advantage compared to overseas hostels.However, there is noise in the early morning, and there can be a smell depending on who is sharing the room.Earplugs are provided to protect against noise.

I wasn't used to it at first, and I didn't take enough showers. After living here for a few days, I got used to it, and it was easy for the girls to get to know each other.

The room size is okay, the 29-inch suitcase can be fully opened, and there are subways and airport buses when you go out. …

It was a good stay. The surrounding environment is very quiet, just a short walk from the bus stop and metro. The facilities are well kept and clean. They offer converters which was great. Only complain is that we booked a room for three persons thinking there would be a private bathroom but there wasn’t.

The location is okay, but it's a bit of a walk from ICN. The space is quite small, compared to the N backpacker hostels I have stayed in before. …
