DREAM SINGLE HOUSE

There are mixed reviews by other travelers for this place. Personally I would say my 3 nights here have been pleasant and enjoyable. The staff went out of the way to clean my room first to enable check-in upon my unannounced super early arrival. There was a large window in my room giving a panoramic view of the vicinity. The air-conditioner functioned well. The room was clean and I didn’t have any issues with the provided bedding. My room did not come with a private bathroom so no molding concerns and the shared bathroom/toilet was clean and not piled with garbage as one might experience in other hostels. I did not have to line up for my turn for the bathroom at all during my stay, probably because the people here stay for a longer term and thus did not all hit the bathroom at times day travelers would. I noticed the members of staff washing/hang-drying the used towels and the comforters of guests who have checked out every day. There was a water dispenser for hot and cold water in the kitchen, which was convenient. The fridge was stuffed with food but that wasn’t a concern for me as I put beverages and snacks in the mini fridge in my room. I did some simple cooking (instant noodles) and found the cooking utensils, stove and sink to be well maintained.

Mixed experience from this place. We had 2 rooms booked and one included a small shower room which I did not use because it was gross, there was lots of mould and it smelt like a public bathroom, so I kept the door shut. The rooms themselves were fine and clean and great that they come with a fridge and plenty of shelves etc to put your things as there isn’t too much floor space. The bathroom was ok and kept clean and there were always clean towels available if needed. There is also a washing machine that can be used for a fair charge. The kitchen was well equipped with a stove top, microwave, hot and cold water and a large fridge and freezer. Unfortunately it was a bit dirty and needed a proper sort out, the fridge was rammed full of things and I’m sure the stuff at the back had been there for months! The desk is only manned a few hours a day and even then you have to search as the staff will be busy doing things. The encounters we had were mostly great, one staff member let us check in early which was much needed after travelling all night! Another helped us find information for a doctor after one of us had some pretty nasty bites (received while staying in one of the rooms 😬). He really couldn’t do enough to help us and sent the address for us to find etc. We did have an issue in the evening once as there was a flood in the corridor right outside my room, as there was nobody about we sent a message which was answered immediately but with ‘we will sort it first thing in the morning’. This has obviously happened before as he didn’t seem worried and the floor in my room was all warped from getting wet. It was dangerous to leave as I didn’t want anyone to slip so we ended up cleaning it up as there was no staff about! Overall it was a good place to stay for the price and the bus stop is just a couple of minutes away. Just needs a good deep clean and more staff presence!

I stayed as a backpacker and for me it had everything it needed, however the Showers look worse than prison showers and by the feel of it you have to shower next to the open window otherwise the Fire alarm will go off. The toilets are clean and modern. The kitchen has everything you really need even if most of the Teflon pans are scratched up. The rooms have AC as well as a little Heater they give you. Sound isolation is good except for the door, you will hear a faint snoring at best. I didn’t use the Washing machine/ Dryer but they were available and were 2k/3k W. Only the outside of the Hotel is a downside since there’s nothing except a gs25 and a bus station. All in all if you just wanna crash there and reorganize your things it’s perfect, I would book again

Overall good place, everything you need without sharing a bunk. Approx 45min to main areas in Seoul. Unfortunately my Aircon didn't work in my room 413 so it was hot and I was constantly sweating and waking up. Other rooms had working Aircon. Did not see any staff during my 4 night stay; I guess it's quite casual in that sense. Price was good, location is decent, amenities are good; washing machine and dryer available for 5000.

The only downside of this is that you are somehow far from tourist spots like hongdae and myeongdong. I came from hongdae one night and i almost didn’t get home in the airbnb because it’s too late (no night busses for me to go home) so I rode kakaotaxi (around 12k won). Still, if you’re a solo traveler that wants some personal space (solo room) and a budget accommodation then this is the place for you! Don’t expect the aircon to be so cold, it’s just enough to beat the heat (tho it gets really cold during the night because it’s windy, went here during July summer time). Takes around 30-50 mins to go here from other tourist spots. I suggest take the climate card with unli rides for busses and subways because you’ll need it. It’s accessible to transportation so no worries! There’s also Daiso nearby and a lot of restaurants/cafes, pharmacy, salon, convenience store outside :) It’s safe for solo travelers because most tenants really are just females.

It was fine for traveling alone. The hotel is very bus stop, just take 2 minutes for walking
