"Very easy checkin and checkout in the centre of a great location in Jongno - accessible to great public transport, restaurants and places to see and visit. I highly recommend this place for its location. Our room was a good size for 5 night stay. Unfortunately we were only given hand towels for most of our stay for showers and bath mats - which we could get more of if we needed to. We got bath towels for 2 of our 5 nights but didn’t know why we didn’t get these the whole stay"

There is a 7-eleven right next to the hostel which is such a plus. The vibe was so homey and cozy, I felt incredibly safe and taken care of as a female solo traveller. The room was so comfortable too, I almost did not want to leave my room, haha! A huge shoutout to the...
