Everything was wonderful here! The food was amazing, and the facilities were tidy and clean. The room is a bit small, but you quickly get used to it. If you want to make the most of your stay at the hostel, be sure to carefully follow the imonim's instructions when it comes to helping out. Overall, this place was awesome, and the staff is incredibly kind!

I had a really cool experience and I totally recommend this place for those who want to explore Seoul and live the South Korean culture! The work as pretty simple and you actually work less than they tell you if you're a quick person! You have 4 days off which is incredible and you'll have plenty of time to explore the city and the surroundings! The location is amazing, really close to hongdae, only 15min walking and there's a bunch of restaurants, supermarkets, cafe shops around and the bus station is right in front of the place. Next time I'm in Seoul I will definitely go back there!
