If you have limit budget it’s good place to go ~
It’s close with tourist area so you can find a lot of restaurants

Well, it's ok for one night. But there's a very unpleasant sewer smell. The sink is full of water, it's impossible to wash. But there is a kitchen, coffee, and water.

This hostel is really good location wise. You’re a 5 minute walk from bus stops and trains. We booked a double room, but got a twin room, which we didn’t mind about. It’s not the cleanest hostel, but it’s a cheaper stay so wouldn’t expect much more. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

I booked private room for two weeks - first of all, they didn’t have my room ready when I arrived to I was asked to move to another room the next day.
Room I got for first night was not bad except bathroom - very dirty and has mold everywhere.
Private room I got later was without a window (it was saying city view in my booking details) and smelled really bad.
They also didn’t gave me money back for earlier checkout.
Not recommended

Near bus stops, subway Dongmyo, restaurants, convenient stores, flea market. The hostel in general is not as clean compared to other hostels in South Korea. The bed was itchy. But it was cheap. That's it.
