    The rooms are very cold depending on the weather. The room is only heated from the floor but it is not enough to heat the room in winter. Room floor and bathroom are clean but windows and sides are full of dust.

    Staff were really helpfull with everything. They gave us really good advise about where to visit, transportation and the timetables. Location is really convenient and nearby lots of cafe, restaurants, bars and metro.

    The most annoying part for me was that although this is a PARTY hostel, they don’t allow you to bring your own drinks even though they don’t have a common area? So you’d have to hang out at their reception bar in order to drink with the people you meet.. But onto the quality of life things: - Bathroom had a lot of mildew, I had to hold my breath to get ready. - There’s only 3 bathrooms for about like 7 rooms so busy times you’d have to queue/wait. - Bunk placement was very awkward so everybody’s suitcases were on the floor, and bunks didn’t have curtains. - You can’t use your own lock you have to rent the key and locker from the reception. - Outlets were very old and kept falling off (it took me about 5-10mins before bed every night to adjust my plugs intricately so that they won’t fall out as I slept). - No common area for people to socialize in.

    - Central location, very close to lots of cafes, party spots, multiple Olive Young’s..etc! - Staff were nice, they watched over my Nintendo Switch as I left it to charge before leaving to the airport. - Met a lot of cool travelers!

    The building seems a bit old so for example bathroom facilities are not the most comfortable. The biggest minus is I was staying in the female dorm and unfortunately the locking system would beep very loudly every time somebody left and entered the room so I woke up a few times because of this. Other dorms are probably a better choice as they didn't have this locking mechanism (they don't have locks at all)

    My stay at the hostel was good, the location is perfect, in one of the main party districts with lots of nice bars and restaurants around the corner. The hostel is clean and the staff friendly.

    Bed sheets not really clean, Bathroom okay if you are used to camping-like standards. Can be a bit noisy at night, but okay, it is literally a party hostel (it says so in the name) so you know what to expect :)

    Good location, affordable price, surely great to meet people.

    Unfortunately I found this hostel to be quite unorganised, there were no curtains on the beds so you have no privacy and you can’t use the lockers for free so people just left their stuff everywhere in the room. The bunk beds were also creaky and poor quality. Also there are no locks on the door and you don’t get a key card, so anyone who knows the code, or can otherwise open the main door, can also enter the hostel rooms which makes people feel unsafe about their belongings. Other people I talked to at the hostel said they were surprised this place had such good reviews. The hostel bar was dark and small. I am sure you could find a better hostel in Seoul with a great location and people who are just as nice - just my personal opinion!

    Great location! The staff and people staying here were all super friendly and really helpful. They offer towels for free for your stay too which is awesome.

    Felt very unwelcomed when we arrived and each night we were there the staff were taking up most the common room and not being inclusive with the guests. Sink kept blocking and toilets/shower room pretty unclean and not enough for the number of guests.

    Location was good. Price was good for Seoul.

    I gave this hostel a 'pleasant' score because it was a lot of fun but the property itself was fairly dirty and seemed unkempt. Also, I was not given a bed in a bunk-bed but a cot in the middle of the room.

    the location was great and the social atmosphere was the best I've experienced across 6 weeks of travel in Japan and Korea

    The vibes were great, the fellow time travellers knew whats up and were super fun to be with. Hostel nurtures good vibes and friendliness. I had no real issue with the bed, the room, the showers or restroom, but it's not well suited for the pampered.

    On the top bunk of the bed, it moved and made noise when I turned over. The ladders are narrow. The room was very bright. Shower is in the toilet so floor can be quite wet.

    There was a Korean BBQ organised on the Friday. Walking distance from clubs in Hongdae and near a metro station. No key required just codes.
