I really enjoyed my stay!
I especially appreciated:
The cleanliness, quietness, and pleasant aroma of the place
Your attentive service, complimentary quality coffee, and delicious breakfast
The free laundry service and ramen cups
The organized system for labeling food in the fridge with names and checkout dates
One small suggestion: it would be even more convenient if hand tissues were available in the shower room :)
Other than that, I can't think of anything else to improve—it's a wonderful place.
I will definitely stay here again if I visit Seoul next time. I will introduce to my friends and families too.
Thank you so much!

Very nice and warm host!
The hostal is newly renovated.
The facilities are new and clean.
I love the room with window.
The shower pressure is strong and hair dryer is friendly to long hair👍🏻👍🏻
Be careful that no elevator in the building.
A few stair is a must but it is fine to me haha.
Cereal, milk, bread and egg are served every morning.
You can have chill and relax time in the rooftop and have a small drink there.
The most important thing is it is very close the Dongdaemun station with very competitive price.

Highly recommended as the best hostel both in terms of facilities and hospitality. Everything was so so comfortable and clean and the quality of everything is really good. The owners are super nice and truly want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible and they give excellent recommendations for nice and local Korean food. Excellent breakfast and free laundry is a plus plus. It was such a pleasure staying in original backpackers and would definitely come back again soon. Thanks a lot for your kindness and hospitality.

The accommodation is very close to Dongdaemun subway station and there are convenience stores and restaurants nearby. The accommodation environment is clean and tidy, and the counter staff is friendly. I would like to choose this accommodation next time I go to Korea.

The rooms and public spaces were clean and well-maintained, so I was able to stay comfortably. The bedding was clean, and the shower and toilet were hygienically maintained. The price was quite reasonable for a place located in the center of Seoul, and the facilities and service were excellent for the price of the accommodation. A simple breakfast was also included, so I would like to recommend it to those looking for a cost-effective accommodation.

The boss is very kind and treats tourists very well. Extroverted people can chat with the boss, who is very talkative.
The room is clean and all equipment is very new. Laundry and drying, free breakfast, and instant noodles are also provided. Overall, the CP value is very high!

I was able to go shopping in the Dongdaemun area in the middle of the night and walk home, and subway lines 1 and 4 are also located here, so it was extremely convenient!
They kindly contacted me in advance about how to check in, and although I had trouble unlocking the door when I actually entered the room, the receptionist kindly explained it to me, which I am very grateful for.
The facilities were clean, and they also provided toothbrushes and shampoo, which was great.
The hotel had a really luxurious, pleasant scent that was very soothing.
I would like to use it again the next time I visit Korea!
Thank you very much😊
