Sinchon Gaon Hostel

First of all, it's not the hotel fault but the building just next door is under construction and work started at 7am so so early. Room had lots of stains and holes everywhere so a little expensive. Looks like they remodeled a motel into a hotel so thanks to the paint it looked clean but there was lots of stains in the bathroom. Easy to use the amenities as you can get whatever you want from downstairs

The location was really good! A short walk from Sinchon station or Seogang-dae station. The hostel sent an email a few days before my stay and the directions were very helpful. For this price, I think it was a very good value! It was very cold when I was in Seoul (-4°C to 1°C) but the room was always warm with heated floor and heated bed. The room size was just nice for a solo traveller, with a window for natural light. There is no daily cleaning but it's okay as we can collect towels and other amentities freely at the common area.

It seems like it has been under recontructed or something but the lobby was a bit smelly when i did the check-in. I have to use the door on the side. My room type is supposed to have a window but it is just a woodeb board been put up to cover where the window should be. However, it is not fully covered so I could feel the wind at night. The location is great for the price.
