So far so good
Two things I didn't like the hostel. 1. It was located at a back street full of eateries. It was very loud at night when we opened the window. If you close the window and have the ac on, it would be fine. However, we went in May, it's too cold to use AC but too stuffy with the window closed. 2. The bathroom was very moldy and stinked really bad. There was no fan, no window in the bathroom. I asked the owner for an air refresher. He was nice enough to provide one. Other than that, the hostel was located very conveniently​ for travelers. It's just a couple minutes walk from the subway. It was close to a few attractions and there were many good restaurants to choose from. I won't go back though because of the bathroom condition. If you are not sensitive to smell, it is a good place overall.

See yah next winter
We started off badly because the taxi driver cannot find the address in his GPS, then he tried calling the no. in my printed confirmation form but no one's answering then he asked me to call and the answer i got is "it's not listed in the directory".. whaaatttttttt?!?! 9,600 Won later, we finally arrived.. hallelujah! the staff that greeted us speaks english, very friendly and accomodating. the room is just right for me and my 2 friends, i especially love the spacious bathroom. then there's free wi-fi, unlimited tea and coffee and you can use as many towels and soap as you like. there's no shortage of hot water since it's the start of winter there during our stay. Now, for accessibility, it's walking distance from subway station and airport bus pick-up point. it's also near tourists spots if you don't mind walking around and specialty shops where you can buy some unique souvenirs. So I'd say "SEE YAH NEXT WINTER APPLE BACKPACKERS"

Great hostel
Affordable hostel that is near to the metro subway, around 5 minutes walk. The surroundings has got lots of food to eat during the evening time, street food and BBQ alley which is just behind the hostel and they open till quite late on weekends and this could get noisy till midnight. There is also a convenient mart (Lemon mart) nearby, it sells a good variety of stuffs and quite affordable price. There is no lift in the building but you can ask the staffs to help you carry your luggage up to your room if it's too heavy. The staffs are friendly and helpful and they are able to communicate in good English. They don't provide bottled water or kettle in room but you can go over to the common area/lounge to get the hot water, tea or coffee. If you need bottled water, you can buy it over the counter. There is free WiFi in the lounge and even in rooms!

I had a great experience with this hostel. It is clean, the staff are friendly, and it's in a great location, right among some of the most beautiful spots in Seoul. Very close to subway and bus stations, and a collection of great restaurants.

Good price and location but has major issues
The sheets/pillow cases were not clean, obviously it has not been changed before I checked in, made my skin irritating/itchy... The walls are not soundproof at all, you can clearly hear people coming in downstairs and noise from business next door (someone was cutting meat or something 24x7), if you don't have earplus, good luck falling asleep. Internet was slow, can't really stream youtube. Front desk was very friendly and speaks English well.

Not too bad for a hostel
I booked 3 nights of single room and 2 nights of dormitory but i was staying thru out in the dorm room. Becos I checked in for both at the same time though the booking was made in 2 different channels. I was told that i could stayed in the same room for all 5 nights. Initially i thought that even the single room was bunk bed hence i did not question the arrangement but later i realize that the hotel staff actually rearranged my booking to let me stayed 5 nights in the dorm room but i could stayed alone without sharing with another stranger. If i realize it early would ask for the change of room so that i can experience both, the staff did not explain the situation clearly for the new arrangement to me. The hostel staffs are efficient in basic English and very friendly. Room conditions was run down but relatively clean. For someone who are used to a hotel, might find the place relatively inconvenient as there's no kettle and fridge in room and friend is not allowed to enter your room to chat, there are allowed in the common area. Something unbearable for me is the room is not sound proof at all as there is a family staying near my room hence when thr kid scream or the parents speak at night or early in the morning will wake me up from sleep. The location are indeed within walking distance to some of the popular attractions. I would recommend to someone who is adventurous and easy on hostel expectation. It is a cheap and good choice.

Very great location! It’s is near to the train station and this train station is very convenient with 3 lines(No. 1, 3 and 5.) Around the guest house are many restaurants and convenience stores. The staffs are friendly and really helpful. Will come back, if i have a chance to visit Korea :)

対応言語に英語、日本語も書いてありましたが、入国手続きに時間がかかり、チェックインに遅れそうだったため電話したところ、韓国語しかわからないと言われ、非常に困りました。ホテルにいるスタッフも韓国語しか話していないようでした。（たまたまなのかもしれませんが） エアコンのリモコンも韓国語で書かれていたため、使い方が判りませんでした。 窓が浴室にしかないため部屋の臭いがなかなか抜けません。

방음이 안되고 화장실 좁고 바디샴푸및 린스가 방 밖의 공용책장에서 가지고 와서 써야한다는 약간의 불편함을 감수해야하지만 주인분들 매우 친절하셔서 저로선 매우 편안하게 지내다 왔습니다. 종로3가역 7번출구와 매우 가깝고 어디 다녀와도 편도 30분 안팎이라 편리합니다.

少し不愉快なホテル
ホテルの立地条件はとてもいいのですがオンドルがあまり聞いてなくとても寒いし部屋には窓もなく暗い部屋でした ダブルの部屋に泊まったのですが金額の割には全然良くないです 冷蔵庫はもともとないと記載されていたけど窓ぐらいはあるかと思っていたので飲み物を少しぐらい冷やすのならば窓の所に置いておけばいいかなと考えてましたが窓もなくベットの頭の所にシャワーとトイレ室があるのではとても快適には過ごしましたとは言えません

ロケーション良し！
一人女性でシングルに宿泊。鍾路３街７番出口すぐにあり（細い路地に入るので最初わからなくて、通りすがりのおばさんに教えてもらいましたが。）スーパーもコンビニも近くに有り便利。少し歩いて５番出口ならエスカレーターが有り、金浦行の地下鉄にすぐ乗れます。キッチンや冷蔵庫も利用できます。東大門まで徒歩30分位で通えるところが本当に良かった！一応耳栓はしていましたが、夜は少しカラオケとかの声が聞こえる事がありました。寒くて冬はお勧めしない、とのレビューが有り、防寒着を持参。夜10時帰宅時にはオンドルで暖かかったのですが、夜中オンドルが切れている時があり寒くて防寒着を着て寝ました。次の日その事を伝えるとそのあとはしっかりオンドルが入り、布団をもう1枚貸してもらったので暖かったです。布団とシーツで毛布系が無いので、ちょっと心配で念のため防寒着を下に敷いて寝ましたが。。。1Fでネットも使えますし、宿のスタッフもとても親切です。私は好きなもの食べたいので朝食なしの方が有りがたかったです。アメニティーは石鹸だけですが、タオルは置いてあるのでいつでも使えて便利でした。冬に行かれる方は100均の便座カバー持って行くと良いですよ。お尻が超ー冷たいので。又リビしたいと思います＝！

水回りに関しては少し不十分な点がありますが、その他は言うことありません。 共用ですが冷凍庫も利用できて生ものを冷凍してお土産に持って行くのに便利です。 ホテルの人も好くいつも快適に滞在させていただいてます。今後も利用することが多いと思います。
