The placement of the hostel is the best. Everyone is respectful and quiet. Also as a woman it made me feel very safe because there is a QR code required to go in the elevator and in the sleeping area.

The staff are amazingly helpful. ‘Panda’ is an amazing guy, so welcoming and helpful, the staff can’t do enough for you. The cafe serves fantastic coffee and has free breakfast in the morning . For those of you from NYC , things start late here , Starbucks doesn’t ope until 8.30am. The beds are super comfortable. One thing that will Surprise you if you are familiar with European hostels is that this one has no where to lock your things away . I think if they can improve anything it’s to have some lockers .

Kozayo is a hostel located above their cafe of the same name. Despite being RIGHT next to the hot party area of the legendary Hongdae district, the rooms were exceptionally quiet besides the occasional shuffling of my roommates. Be forewarned that there is a security deposit for the capsule remote (at the time 100K won). There is a small towel provided, roughly about 5~6 shower stalls per floor, and 4 toilets if i remember right. The bathroom with a toilet is a bit small, so if you're very tall or wide you may find it a bit awkward to scooch in. These are minor nitpicks however and if youre looking to be right next to the party action i can think of few better options. No major complaints.

單人背包客韓國之旅

離弘大地鐵站走路大概10分鐘以內，附近有超商，商圈，美妝店，離酒吧很近，但我覺得不會太吵，有提供小條毛巾，一次性紙拖鞋，衛浴設備有提供吹風機，沐浴洗髮乳，然後床是可以控制高低自行控制的，應該是類似醫院那種電動床？ 進出飯店是使用QRCODE進出，所以安全性應該還可以的，缺點就是似乎沒有可以上鎖的那種小櫃子、置物櫃。 但是床舖下面空間很夠，放大型行李箱都是可以的。 床鋪裡面有提供USB插座，以及韓國插座，所以可能必須自備轉接頭。
