Hause Itaewon

I’d say the value and location were ok.

The bathroom. During winter it was way too cold and not quite comfortable.

Hot consistent showers Adequate kitchen facilities

Mattress was a little thin Bed frames were metallic that clang during the night

Price is very low and location Is good, it's close to a metro station so it allows you to reach all the tourist spots very easily. They leave the doors always open so that you can enter and exit anytime. The staff is ok, at the beginning it wasn't very clear who the staff was, because some of them sleep in the shared rooms and some of them have private rooms but they act like tourists, but anyway if you need something you can ask them and they will help you.

The place looks a bit old so some things don't work very well. For example the showers might not have the showerhead, or maybe they do but they miss the holder on the wall so you need to shower keeping the shower head in your hands. I think maybe English is not their first language, sometimes it happened that the information they gave was not very clear, but anyway you can ask them directly to be sure.

Standard amenities for the price. The beds are comfortable, and the room has air conditioning and fairly large lockers (bring your own padlock). The kitchen has enough utensils, plus a microwave and refrigerator. Very safe place. I stayed 7 nights and had no problems. So safe, in fact, that they leave all the doors unlocked 24 hours a day (they don't give you keys or codes, nothing). Late check-in is available if needed. It's an acceptable hostel, considering the cost

It needs a bit more cleaning. The beds were very dirty underneath, and I didn't see them cleaned during my week-long stay, in addition to a lot of hair on the floor in general. There's only one bathroom upstairs with everything in one space (toilet, sink, and shower), which can be difficult to use when there are many people. There are more bathrooms downstairs, but they're in the women's rooms, and some of the women don't like men using them. The first few days ended with an argument with a very rude woman about this, so be warned.
