    The location is really the only good thing about this place.

    I felt a little unsafe as a woman alone here and always quickly locked my door. You get what you paid for. The staff member does the best she can with her limited English. People who are staying here longer term as well, so I saw some older men walking around without much clothing. Maybe solo male travelers wouldn't feel so uneasy :)

    Really cheap and messy in common areas, bed was with noisy, not comfy springs and has no locks for when you leave the pl

    I like this place. No frills. nothing fancy. Firstly, it tells you before you book that this hotel is cheap and humble and not to expect 5 star luxury. With that in mind I expected worse. It wasn't too bad at all. Good location if you want to be near Gangnam. It is very close to the metro station. The host was very nice and showed me around. The room was small but would have been smaller if there had been a washroom there. The upside to having a shared bathroom in a goshiwan.

    The rooms could have a little more attention paid to them with a lick of paint. Or even have a good wipe down.

    Great location, close to a subway station

    Quite dated, could be cleaner

    Nothing this was the only place available on the national holiday. I know why ? shower was ok.

    No clear signage, unclean entrance, dirty dingy kitchen, no female facilities, two toilets used by male & female guests, unsure if bedlined was clean sleep in my dirty clothes used my sleeping bag insert and pillow case, no toilet in room only a shower. No aircon and the window appeared to be fixed. I left the bathroom exhaust on all night (&light) just to help keep the air clean. Room doors are swollen so they all need to be banged, all night, neighbours bed squeaked ?, I did not see any other females. I am not a 70 year old princess I have travelled the worked backpacking, lived in many Asian countries but this is my bottom.

    I only needed a bed for the night, E Livingtel was perfect for this. I wouldn’t recommend it if you needed anything more than that.

    It was dark and therefore difficult to find my room, etc.

    You get what you pay for. If your expectations are not unrealistic it's good for a few nights. I stayed 4 nights as I wanted the privacy for a cheap price after being in hostels for weeks.

    Fabulous owner. Took me to dinner, great conversation. Very nice man.

    9DominikaPosted on: 6-26-2023

    great value for money for those who want to stay alone. basic facilities but why would you need more - you're in Seoul, so go out of the room, haha!

    7AgamPosted on: 6-3-2023

    Nice host, rooms are good for what you pay.

    Not super clean, but not unbearable.

    Cheap price and location

    No window

    Don't stay here !Maybe there are better rooms in the house.I had a room with no window to the outside and no fan. Extremely hot! Everything was dirty, it stunk, everything was old and worn out.I didn't get the deposit for the room key back, because I couldn't find any staff. I had to go to the airport.

    There was no breakfast but location was great

    The room was very cold and provided blanket was not enough and I felt cold.

    New experience, manager speaks in English, close to subway, a lot of bar around to hang

    No sign/name of hostel in English, only "good" luck will help u find it or bad luck, dirt everywhere, rooms are terrible like house of alkoholik or drug addicted, kitchen also, owner or manager take deposit 10000won for creepy key and never give money back, linen do not changes after guests, no shampoo or soap in bathroom. Is that's all, oooo no terrible smell of exotic Asian food in building with no ventilation, window even tiny one would be a luxury. Walls are so thin that one can hear others snore and farts. Very exotic place for South Korea. So my friend if you want to immerse your self in bom atmosphere u a welcome!

    I like how this is a cheap place located close to attractions that are important to me, and you get your own room. The bed was more comfortable to me than the last time, which was good.

    Every room has a window to the hallway, where the lights never turn off. The square of light shining in has always been disruptive to my sleep. I have found that you need to open the window and drape a piece of clothing over it before closing it again, so that you can sleep.

    My room was surprisingly clean and smelled nice thnx to the 10000 air fresheners in the room.

    The beed was horrible, tiny, tough and uncomfortable, the room it self has a bunch of difrent cut outs of wall paper that was poorly installed and it looked so ugly, oh and the toilet is in the kitchen, you will be cooking your noodles while someone is ripping a$$ 3 feet from you.
