The owner, Mr. Young, is the very best component of SeoulWise. He is always hard working there even though he has a new born child at home. He has worked for Korean Air, traveled quite extensively, and speaks English and Japanese. Therefore he is a wealth of info on the attractions of Seoul including calling for a last minute slot on the DMZ JSA tour via USO. Mr. Young is very good even for just morning coffee chit chat with the included breakfast of toast and cereal during my ten night stay. Each room has its own shower/toilet and even a cooking area counter plus washing service is available. Mr. Young (and CCTV) ensures his visitors are secure just like the rest of this mega city.

I&'ve stayed at this location a couple of times now, and it&'s extremely nice. The guy who runs it is extremely helpful, the location is super clean and comfortable. The region around Hongik University station is also an excellent location to stay.

I stayed in 6-bd dorm. Good public space makes it effortless to meet other guests. Owner was really friendly, helpful and cool. Of 4 hostels I&'ve stayed at in Korea so far this has been my favourite. Good mixture of nationalities means this is a great place for English speakers to create friends, but also for native Koreans. Thanks for a wonderful stay, wish I could have stayed longer!

Young was extremely helpful and hospitable. It was really clean and central to a lot of Seoul&'s sights. The free breakfast was the icing on the cake.

Everything is new and clean. They maintain the place really well. Young was really helpful and friendly. It was obvious that he wanted us to have a exceptional time in Seoul. My favorite parts of the room were drying room and 2 sinks inside the room (1 inside the bathroom and a separate one inside the bedroom/living) They have an interesting key lock system that made it really feel secure.

The hotel is situated in a extremely lively neighborhood. The employees is really friendly and helpful. Their laundry service is superb.

  Customer Review 

The proprietor is often there and he knows all the guests. And he treats them like they are actually his guests, and not just customers. He goes the extra mile to help everyone out and make sure everyone is able to do what they need to do In Seoul. This leads to a really warm and friendly environment inside the common areas, since he acts as glue and bonds everyone together through his friendliness and engagement with everyone. Personally, I was worried about the location of the hostel, since Hongik University is a notorious party place. Despite this, the hostel didn&'t have a party-all-night environment (which I appreciated. getting woken up at 3am by drunken revelers is no fun). Possibly a factor in this is that the proprietor doesn&'t let non-guests into the hostel rooms, and since he knows everyone it&'s basic for him to enforce.

Location is great, the property owner is amazingly friendly and helpful, cooking area has a stove and fridge, common location has tv, lockers for stuff (bring a lock), free borrowing of subway card, nice A/C and great wireless signal everywhere. Oh, free breakfast and computers you can use for free as well.
