Great location in Itaewon. Staff was friendly and kept the bathrooms and bed sheets rotated and clean. I felt safe during my 3 week stay. The hostel location is close to the Itaewon subway station, Yongsan, and Namsam areas. I would definitely come back to stay.

After party place on the hill
I've stayed a few times. It's always a good, cheap place to rest after partying in Itaewon or Hongdae.

Great location! Stay was a little rough but not to terrible. Bathroom is super tiny. Wished there was a fan as the room was very hot at night. Great view from balcony.

Exact location as we wanted, in the middle of Itaewon, near bars and easy to get food.

I stayed in the dorm. It smelled because there were six guys in a small area. There was one knob to toggle between the sink and shower taps and one knob to adjust the temperature. Because this was a little confusing I got wet while trying to wash my hands. The room was clean as was the bathroom. The blanket was nice and warm. Check-in was easy. The bar I like most is only a 2 minute walk from the dorm so that is nice. I'd stay here again given cleanliness, service, cost, and convenience.

Location is good. Check-in smooth, small bathroom, walls are on the thin side if you are a light sleeper... I was happy with the price and location.

Great place and Iksu speaks great English with lots of good info. Only problems are the location is on a hill and difficult to find, and a local woman lives in one female room. She doesn’t like a/c and is a bit of a bully. If you fancy cool air, avoid room 201.

Hard to sleep but middle of the party
These were the worst beds I've ever had at a hostel, I could barely sleep. The area around it is heavy with nightlife so it is loud outside the window until very late. This is great if you want to be in the middle of an active area, but don't expect to sleep much if you get to bed before 3am. The bathrooms are also oddly proportioned. I hesitate to say small because they are a fairly decent in length but not at all wide. You can't sit forward on the toilet because it is so close to the wall. It does have that nice Philstay aesthetic that I love, but this is one branch I'd not return to.
