    Good enough for a short stay.

    Liked : Nice Location. You can find all the shops you need in this area.

    Disliked : After checking in, I found a previously opened water bottle, a slightly damp floor towel, and hair on the pillow, the shelf, and the floor. It made the room feel not very clean.

    Nice place and location

  • JkHong Kong SAR China · Aug 26, 2024 8Very good

    Great value with no frills

    Liked : Convenient location and great value for a clean place to stay for a few days without any hotel quality service. The room is decently sized with enough room for luggage and storage via the wardrobe. Also a proper desk to use for work.

    Disliked : Lack of soundproof - I was able to hear a very loud blow of the hairdryer from next door.

    Clean and Comfortable Accommodation Near the Train Station

    Liked : - The location was near the train station (Lines 2 and 3).
    - The hostel has a shared kitchen.
    - The rooms were clean.

  • KaiUnited Kingdom · Nov 3, 2025 10Exceptional

    Great for value

    Liked : Single room was spacious, although there’s no staff onsite they are responsive to messages on booking.com, close to metro station and airport bus 6020 makes it easier to take the bus directly to/from Incheon airport

    Disliked : There’s a sensor light at the room entrance that can’t be turned off, staff said it’s due to security reasons? Can be slightly annoying if you move around a lot in bed as it triggers the light sometimes

  • KrongtongThailand · Jul 19, 2025 10Exceptional

    Liked : Convenient room and smelling is so nice .The facilitating is the best.

    Disliked : Room is quite thin so the noise outside can be heard but we also keep quiet too

  • NadieUnited Kingdom · Oct 30, 2024 8Very good

    Liked : The hostel is close to the university station. The 6020 airport bus stops nearby. For 2 nights it was fine - clean facilities and a comfy bed. Lots of plug points, two inside the bed.

    Disliked : The sink was in the room, outside the bathroom. A little strange. The lack of onsite staff means I probably wouldn't stay longer than 2 nights.
