21 Apr 2012 Octavia, USA
The hostel didn't enforce any quiet hours and it hosts large youth groups. We had a terrible first night with children screaming in the hallways at 3:30 in the morning!! Needless to say, they also trashed the shared bathroom we had to use. We asked and were moved to a private room for our second night at no extra charge. Note you may have to be firm about getting a second key for your room. For some reason, even if there are several parties in a shared room with bunk beds, they only want to give out one key. This hostel was built for the Olympics about 10 years ago. But I don't think it was built with the same level of quality I saw elsewhere in Korea; it needs some maintenance. If you plan to use the kitchen, bring your own everything, there is no equipment in the cupboards and the stove doesn't work well according to another guest. Note there is a late-night restaurant in the hostel; it is very classy but expensive. Not sure there are other options in the area.

Not enough English information available within the building. Most of the notes in the lobby, in the lift, on the floor, in the kitchen,in the rooms are mostly in Korean. For international travellers, there are frustration not being able to move freely within the hostel.
