What people say
We had a good stay at Jongnowon Hostel. Not easy to locate as it was quite hidden. The staff are very friendly and speak very good English. They will be able to provide a lot of info.The rooms are very clean and they provide DIY breakfast. The hostel is very close to Insadong Street Market, good place to get souvenirs and walk to palaces and subways - Anguk and Jongno Stations.

The Location & friendly staff.
Walkable distance to two subway stations and airport shuttle terminal. You have to walk inside the narrow lane to find its front door. Turn your GPS on finding your way.
Location good, clean and efficent.
Can't think of any.
very bad wi-fi connection on each floors, please fix it.
The room is very small. We stayed in a twin room and could not open a 24-inch suitcase totally.
About the breakfast it seemed like you need to fry the egg yourself and cook with the ingredients provided. Anyway we didnt bother after looking at the kitchen and just had breakfast out.
its a small room for the price, very simple and tight but clean, i guess thats just Seoul prices.
