A stylish budget hotel
New budget hotel close to airport train station and happening areas. Our basic small room is 12 square meters with a full-size double bed from wall to wall which leaves very little working space. Staff was friendly and helpful. Place was clean with *style* which fully matches the name of the hostel. The free continental breakfast was offered at the annexed coffee shop (different owner) which comprised of one cup of black coffee and one sugared cheese sandwich. Of course, one can pay for more food or drink. .

Cheap and Clean Hostel
First time ever visiting Korea and staying in a hostel, and pleased with the experience. Stayed in the 8 person dorm, booked for one night and it was really clean. There were 3 or 4 bathrooms to share in the dorm room, they were very clean and nice. The place felt new and un-grimy/run down. Everyone was quite respectful of the 10pm silence curfew. The beds had curtains on them for privacy. Perfect place to stay for one night - just a clean bed, clean bathroom, enough privacy, and a lounge area outside with computers, and a kitchenette with hot water, fridge etc. If I stayed here again I'd choose a private room to myself because with 8 people in a dorm it was still a little noisy with people coming back at different times and packing late at night despite not talking. The curtains on the bed also made it a little hot during the night and people would turn their lights off at different times - I ended up staying in Seoul for longer than anticipated so had to find new accomodation for 3 nights and I made sure to book my own room at the new place because I would not be well rested if I stayed in the 8 person dorm for more than one night. Overall it was quite fun staying here because it the location was excellent and it was very easy to check in, everything was very practical.

Awesome budget friendly hostel wawesome location
It's a hostel . So I didn't expect a 5 star hotel. The room was tiny, but because I was staying alone I was perfect. It was my first time in Seoul, and the location was awesome. So close to everything in hongdae. They had rooftop access, wasn't much up there but I went to just check the view. The counter was nice but they minded their own business unless you needed them, which is what I like. I would stay here again. I recommend this hotel to people that won't be staying in much .

We stayed in a double bedroom, and although it was small, it was a good size for 2 people who just need to rest. It reminded me of the petite hotel rooms in Tokyo. The drawback to our stay was the lack of hot water for the sink and shower. We had called the front desk at a late hour, so the hotel clerk was not able to get someone to fix the problem. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hostel.

Nice hostel, very close to Hongdae & Metro
I stayed in the Econ Double Room with my boyfriend. The room is very clean and quiet though a bit small. The location of the hostel is very convenient. It just took me around 5-7 mins to Metro and around 10 mins to Hongdae shopping area from the hostel. The hostel is also in the vicinity of many pubs and cafes. There's a park near the hostel, where you can have drinks on the grassland. The cafe of the hostel is also nice. The free breakfast is good. I like the two doggies in the cafe most. The staff are nice and helpful. Overall good and will come back to this hostel if I go to Seoul again. Look forward to my next journey in Seoul and with this hostel and the grow-up doggies. P.S. I left a red shopper's bag in the pantry. Grateful if you could do a check and return to me by email. Million thanks!!

A very affordable and conveniently located hostel.
Not many reviews for what seems to be a recently established hostel, and I decided to take a chance on it anyway. And boy am I glad that I did! A lovely hostel, situated right alongside the youthful environment in Seoul that is Hongdae; Hongik University station is easily accessed by a direct train from Incheon International, and all the shops, restaurants, bars, clubs and cinemas are a very short walking distance away. I only stayed one night, but had I stayed in Seoul a little longer than 2 days, I definitely would not have had any complaints about remaining at this hostel. I can't speak for the dormitory rooms, but my own en-suite room was fantastic; comfortable and affordable, with all the stuff I'd expect to find in a hotel. While I didn't really converse with the hostel staff (I was out most of the time), they seemed like an enthusiastic and helpful bunch; and when I come back to Seoul in the future, I intend to spend a few nights at this hostel again.

Facility is good, but management?
Facility is new and good. However, we told the hostel in advance that we will arrive late around 23:00~00:00. But we ended up staying outside frozen for 30 minutes, then the staff finally answered the door.

It is my 3rd time to be here. As comfort and clean as usual. Although G/F turned into a bar and it is a bit noisy in Saturday night- but acceptable I'm still having a good sleep there. Breakfast is simple but good enough.

Nicely staff, clean room, Nearby Hongdae stn Exit 2-3 easy to walk about 10 mins But the wall a bit thin, I got a little bit interrupted from the next room (and heard they talking for a while) ㅠㅠ BY THE WAY, I don’t mind about that! It’s okay to be private.

Poor experience
There is a bar below the hostel which have live band every night until latenight( 2-3 Am) ... it creat a lot of noise and you can still here the band sound even you have ear plug ! Which make you difficult to sleep until the bar close !! Also the hostel have poor breakfast and fair pantry facility. I asked the reception for a spoon to make a coffee, and she told me “there are no spoon and the guest usually bring their own spoon.” It was quite an unfriendly respond ... Apart from that, the room is very hot with poor air circulation, I asked the reception can they open the air conditioning, they told me to open the window instead.... yet it is a eight people dorm room with a small window...I don’t see any different after I open the window, it even bring more noise from the street ...:( There are two things I appreciate about this hostel are clean bathroom and good location.

Nice little hotel in a nice place. Many bars and restaurants nearby. A few blocks from the subway. The room is comfortable, with floor heating, air conditioner (although the controller for it was not there), hair dryer and etc. Amenities like toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and shampoo provided. Breakfast is simple, but ok. The staff is nice, speak good english and most of time very helpful. The only cons are the shower (in the middle of the bathroom without curtain or glass, what makes the entire bathroom completely wet after you use - something quite normal in Korea but still very weird and uncomfortable for me) and the check in/check out times (15h/11h).

土地柄、深夜までわりと賑やかしいですが私は特に気になりませんでした。フロントの対応も愛想も良く、いろいろ問題を抱えたチェックインでしたが問題なく泊まることができました。ドミトリーに宿泊しましたが、部屋にシャワー1、トイレ2が付いていてシャワーの水圧も問題なし！また一人で泊まる際は利用します。
