This place was good for our short stay. The piping in the washroom was a mess and anything that went down the sink went on the floor. The staff were really nice.

I love this place! I slept in a mixed 8 dormitory. It was a pleasant stay. I had to share the bathroom with many people, but it wasn’t a hassle at all. It was pretty clean to me. I love the staffs and the manager, Pablo, even hanging out with Karen and Tim! They were all pretty amazing and friendly. My stay was super great because of them. I love that is super close to Hongdae and Sangsu station. Thank you so much, Chingu! Great price and super nice location!

무난한 방이었습니다. 외국인이 일하고 있었는데 친절함을 기대하긴 어렵고, 그렇다고 불친절하진 않은.. 말 그대로 무난하다는 평가를 드립니다.

Good stay for a low price!
They delivered what they promised! It’s cheap, it’s comfortable, it’s easy. You can stay out however long you want at night (only don’t come home drunk or loud). It’s close to Sangsu subway station. About 50 min by subway to Gangnam. Free rice, free WiFi. Every bed has one designated plug to charge your phone, and there is a table outside the room with 5-6 plugs for common use!
