Daegu Midtown Hostel

I stayed for 3 nights in female dormitory on level 3 that for only female. When checked in, the owner gave 1 basket containing 2 towel, access key, 1 botol mineral water & earplug. Available elevator that make easy to go every level. Rooftop at level 7 & at one blow a place to dry laundry. Laundry KRW 3.000. Get free for 3 nights or more. No breakfast but available kitchen with complete tools. Free hot/cold water, coffe & tea sachet.

Start with the positives: It is a nice hostel, lots of facilities, toiletries and towels provided, great location and lovely roof top.
However the hostel etiquette of guests is consistently bad so I had the worst nights sleep I’ve had in any hostel. Setting alarms at 4:30AM then snoozing them for over an hour, turning lights on in the middle of the night, watching videos without headphones when people are trying to sleep, being super loud packing bags super early in the morning, eating smelly food in the rooms when there’s a kitchen downstairs, using hairdryers in the powder room at 2 in the morning (? ), loud phone calls in the hallway at unsociable hours.
General noise is completely fine obviously, I know that this comes with staying in a hostel, but people were very inconsiderate to others. Setting alarms is completely understandable but don’t snooze it for over an hour when other people are trying to sleep? This was multiple different guests, lots of people only stayed one night and then were just replaced by guests who were equally as bad lol so I did get very unlucky clearly.
Please talk to guests about house rules and hostel etiquette when they arrive, at least explain the basic rules, as it was consistently so bad and ruined my sleep 3 nights out of 4. I’ve stayed in many hostels and I’ve not experienced so much disregard for other guests. It ruined an otherwise lovely hostel!

Stayed for 2 nights in Room 503
I arrived early and left my bags with the hotel, while I went out to do some touring. The check-in process was okay. The owner went through the check-in procedure with information about the room, bathroom, keycards etc. The reception is on the ground floor, which is also where there’s a kitchenette with lots of cups, plates, utensils, a fridge, a microwave, water dispenser and washing sink. There’s a common area with cafe style seating, couches and breakfast table. A generally well thought out common area.
The room was on the fifth floor and there’s an elevator to access all the floors including the awesome rooftop with excellent views, especially at sunset. The dorm had 4 beds. Each bed comes with privacy curtains, 2 electrical sockets (hidden behind a foldaway desk) and a private light. There’s a locker assigned to each bed and both were under the bottom bed per bunk. The mattress was medium firm, while the pillows and blanket were thick and comfortable. The A/C was on throughout the day and the A/C controller was in the room anyway in case you needed to change it.
There was a shared bathroom with 3 showers and 2 toilets. The showers were okay. The hot water worked well, while liquid soap and shampoo were supplied. The silicone in the showers and the corners areas needed a refresh. Unsightly mould could be seen, although nothing gross. The hostel also supplies a towel for each night of the stay. The toilets were also just okay.

It has such great location! It's close to the famous starbucks and some of the museums that I was plan to visit! On weekdays it's not busy so even that I stayed in a dormitory room, it was only two of us.

Very neat & clean, but a little cramped dormitories! Helpful owner, good service, nice rooftop! Location was a bit difficult to find both in Naver & Google maps! 5 minutes walk to public transportation & cheaper eateries!

Although we didn't get breakfast due to Covid restrictions, the hostel is super clean, designed for travelers — the free washing machine was an amazing perk — and the seventh floor rooftop area was a nice place to hang out. The staff spoke enough English to make guests like me comfortable and were very helpful. I'll definitely stay there again when I return for another visit. Convenient to subway, eateries, coffee shops.

Highly recommended! The place is really clean, have nice facilities and spacious lounge with nice kitchen. The owners were really kind and able to speak english really well, so it was convinient for foreign tourist. I stayed here for almost 3 weeks and it was really nice! The place is really close with the downtown so it was easy to find place to eat. Perfect place to stay!
