Near bus stops, subway Dongmyo, restaurants, convenient stores, flea market. The hostel in general is not as clean compared to other hostels in South Korea. The bed was itchy. But it was cheap. That's it.

This is a good haul so if you need a cheap place to stay, and I don’t mind living outside of the city center. Recommend getting your own room, for a few extra more dollars, however, both the shared bathroom in the private bathroom or wet rooms, meaning that the shower is not separated from the toilet, which makes it very strange to operate using the bathroom.  rooms are very small, as shown in the pictures, however, if you are just trying to see the city, I don’t care about quality. This is a good place. Also, strange thing, besides the day I checked in, I did not ever see anybody at the front desk. You use a phone number to call them if you have questions or checking out early/ late

The hostel host is nice xd. The location is quite good. The only thing I suggest for improvement is the shared bathroom, sometimes it is too wet and runs out of tissue.
