Our usual place to stay in Korea. This is a hostel not a hotel and with the price you pay its consider great accomdation than others I experienced around the world. The luggage storage is the best, the flexibility of check in, the strategic location with plenty of restaurant, shopping, transport (sinseoldong station exit 11 from the metro main line 1) are all adding the charm of this place. Even airport transport bus is very close by. Bonus: The Wi-Fi is fast, each room has fridge n tv, breakfast is free, there also limited parking space, free laundry, free share amenity, kitchen to cook, and accommodating host. The place has no lift. The shower is combo with toilet. Tips: 1. Bring two pairs of own slipper if you don't like to share with others. One for room and one for toilet. 2. In Korea, most toilet paper need to throw on the garbage bin, not flush. 3. The second floor shower that nearest to the laundry is the biggest room, so if you need more space that's the best one to use. 4. Toward Domyo station. There is supermarket 24 hours, there is yummy and cheap Korean family restaurant KingKong with soo many delicious side dishes and English menu recommend the dumpling, bulgogi rice, fried rice and Bimbimbab, a franchise chicken restaurant Kyochan (Kyochan honey original is the crunchiest tasty chicken we ever tried), cheap rice burger restaurant, cheap juice place and it's heaps more. 5.
