It is on of the best hostel where I’ve ever been before. The volunteers guys are so friendly. They look like friends more than staff. The atmosphere is super. There are a lot of activities at the hostel. It feels like one big family.

This hostel is brand new and the most luxurious place I've stayed in my 2 years of travelling. For the price, it really doesn't get any better than this. The place is exceptionally clean, has all the facilities you need, and the owner is an absolute legend. On 2 occasions, I had dinner and drinks with the owner, and he even took me out with his friends to a local Korean restaurant! Definitely the best hospitality of my time in Korea!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The dorm sizes were quite large, and I liked that the floors are gender-separated. The bathrooms and showers were always clean. The common area is great for meeting people, the wifi works throughout the hostel, and it is overall in a great location!
