Hotel Analysis
Based on 5 sites · 502 reviews
A budget hostel right in the heart of Dongdaemun, Seoul. Guests repeatedly mention how convenient it is, just 2 minutes from Dongdaemun Station.
Reviews across sites praise the friendly staff who carry luggage, and free ramen and coffee in the common area. Solo travelers especially love the great value. Rooms are compact but clean with good AC and Wi-Fi.
However, the small shower door lets water leak out, wetting the floor, which is a common complaint. Some find rooms cramped or stairs tough with heavy bags. Noise and odors are occasionally mentioned.
Perfect for solo budget travelers. Great for light stays while shopping and hitting night markets.
