6/10 Good

Location is 10/10. A few steps away from the metro station and bus stops. 3 minutes to the airport bus stop. Staff is very friendly! always happy to help. Complimentary breakfast is very convenient. Bread, hard boiled eggs, cheese slices, cereal and delicious coffee. The only thing is that the overall condition of the building is not so great. Rooms look old. Furniture is also very worn out.

2/10 Poor

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.

8/10 Very good

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.

Good for the price.
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.
