Hanjin Hostel Reviews on Other Websites
The owner spoke really good English and had his own maps. He is quite knowledgeable on which sights we should see first depending on how much time we have. The place is really near a lot of places as well as transport.

Extremely helpful staff, very friendly with local info and travel tips, they also spoke english very well. This place was a much more pleasant stay than a couple of 3 star hotels we stayed at on the same trip, so it was great value for money.

The hostel was located in a convenient location, really close to the bus terminal. It was really dated and the room may have been clean, but it was certainly in rough shape. There weren't a lot of "freebies" and internet did cost 1000 won for 20 minutes. The owners were very friendly, though.

We gave it one night and decided to stay because we thought we wouldn't do much better for the money. Nothing bit us and we slept OK

Mr Kwon is no longer running the hostel, but it remains within the family who after living overseas for decades can speak English/French fluently. They are very helpful and friendly and provide a great map of the area, with bus no's and directions. The hostel is a bit dated, but that adds to the character of the place. His family made us feel very welcome even though they are still learning the hostel trade.

The owner is so helpful and friendly, he helped us with local information and even leant his coat to my friend when it was colder than we expected. The location was excellent and the rooms were clean. I'd stay again.
