8.4/10 Very Good! (165 reviews)
There are two Star Hostel nearby. One is real hostel with shared bathroom and toilet, another one is suite that comes with individual toilet and bathroom.
Location is good which is just few mins walk from metro. Just be careful that if you are a female, you should walk together with a friend because there are few karaoke lounges out there. Also, it is located near Gwangjang Market, if you go to shopping area at dongdamen, you still need to walk by 15 mins.
Room is basic, little bit dated but still clean and tidy. I believe no tidy up service but not sure if it is by request. Extra towel and tissue paper are provided on a shelf in common area, you may get extra in need.
Simple continental breakfast is provided everyday. Good enough if you are not demanding.
Staff are nice and helpful, and provided suggestions for attraction in Seoul. It is very good for first time Traveller to Seoul. Seem they can also book local tour for a guest.
Overall it is good for budget Traveller who needs a room.
