I will definitely avoid
When I arrived after a long day travelling, I had to book another hotel right away as this place was not as advertised and shown on hotels.com when I booked. No reception, procedure to check in as described in their email was not followed and caused a lot of confusion. Messy, unorganized, not clean, rundown, not safe or secure, I will definitely avoid

Great hostel! First international trip, couldn’t have found a better spot. Incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff that helped us find places to explore in Seoul. Water and breakfast available. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Good AC for the hot Korean summers.

There are two Star Hostel nearby. One is real hostel with shared bathroom and toilet, another one is suite that comes with individual toilet and bathroom. Location is good which is just few mins walk from metro. Just be careful that if you are a female, you should walk together with a friend because there are few karaoke lounges out there. Also, it is located near Gwangjang Market, if you go to shopping area at dongdamen, you still need to walk by 15 mins. Room is basic, little bit dated but still clean and tidy. I believe no tidy up service but not sure if it is by request. Extra towel and tissue paper are provided on a shelf in common area, you may get extra in need. Simple continental breakfast is provided everyday. Good enough if you are not demanding. Staff are nice and helpful, and provided suggestions for attraction in Seoul. It is very good for first time Traveller to Seoul. Seem they can also book local tour for a guest. Overall it is good for budget Traveller who needs a room.

this place is for young travellers to stay a few days. I am an older person for long stay for that reason I made wrong choice. Mr. Ham is one of the staff who assisted me to make my stay in Seoul possible. Also encountered extremely rude staff who had no respect for older people.

For the price this hostel, private room, was good. Just note room cleaning is every 4 days but you have towels and amenities available nearby. Location is excellent. Breakfast is simple, free and sufficient. Bed was not great but sufficient.

The room itself was quite nice given the price range. Amenities were also quite good. The owner was cold and irratible, particularly if you couldn't speak korean. Also, the hostel itself is in a somewhat shady part of town. I would personally reccomend finding a place somewhere in Hong-dae.

Good location, clean hostel, quiet area
Very clean hostel. Walkable location to a few sights, also good proximity to the subway. The host was very nice and went through all the instructions carefully, even spoke English to me which I really appreciated. Very quiet. It was nice to have access to the kitchen.
