Good: -The building is only 1-2min away from Noryangjin Subway. -Warming system works in the winter. -individual shower and toilet. -Noryangjin is at the central of Seoul. -have shared washing machine and kitchen. Bad: -Poor wifi connection. -found dusts on the bed and duvet. I suggest you should bring your pillow cover, bed cover and duvet cover with you. -since the room is around 100sqf, if you think you are oversized, try to stay there a night first to see how it goes.

I was looking for a place along Route 9, so the location near the station was very convenient, but the sanitary conditions in the common areas (shower room/toilet, common room) were very poor. There were long hairs all over the place that were left unattended even the next day, and towels that were discolored and tattered had to be used.I was very dissatisfied with the price at this level. Although it's a women-only floor, the male owners come and go, and I even ran into them the moment I stepped out of the shower room. Also, since you can't borrow a room key, you can't lock your room when you go out. Unfortunately, I will never stay there again. However, since it was on the basement floor, there was no street noise and it was quiet at night.

After 6 and a half months traveling around Asia, this is the worst hostel I've ever stayed in and it's expensive. The owner has dozens of restrictions with the schedule, he loves to make people wait. Upon arrival, he gives you hundreds of unnecessary explanations about the operation of the hostel, which is very poorly maintained and dirty inside. The man is very worried about you not wearing shoes in the room, but nevertheless the bed is dirty. The bedroom is small, not even big enough for a single person. In my room there was a chair absolutely covered in dirt, something really disgusting and unpleasant. I booked for 7 nights but finally I only stayed for 2 because I couldn't take it anymore.

Equipped with a desk, bed, bathroom and shower. Because it is a single room, the bathroom is small, but not very inconvenient. The stain remained on the blanket.
