The owner was friendly and helpful. The free loaner towel was much appreciated but the furnishings were average. The hostel doesn't have much in the way of ambiance or atmosphere but it's a perfectly decent place to lay your head. It's hard to get to from the station (Hapjeong) if you don't print out the map on their website. It's located in a relatively quiet suburb. "No alcohol, no violence, and absolutely no dead-drunkenness." Two computers with free internet access available although frequently occupied. They had a thoughtful patio. My only complaint is that they had a mosquito problem. I came away with dozens of bites as did everyone else there at the time (late September).
