Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Limited common areas — This is a no-frills hostel with no mention of lounges, kitchens, or social spaces, so don't expect a big common room.
  • No parking — There's no on-site parking listed, which could be a challenge if you plan to drive in Seoul.
  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this isn't the place—the policy is clearly no pets.
