The hostel is well taken care of, the managers are great, location is great. Mr. Jong is super nice and always willing to help. Before my arrival, he emailed me directions to the hotel and a hand drawn map for further clarification. He also gave his contact info in case I got lost or couldn't find the hostel. After arriving I needed to find the bank. I asked Mr. Jong where the bank was, he told me to wait while he got his things so he could walk me to the bank. While walking, he offered to teach me some Korean during my stay. I couldn’t open my window, but the air conditioning worked fine, so I was able to sleep comfortably. The room was a comfortable size with a desk, shelves, closet, tv, and refrigerator. Men stay on onside of the hostel, women on the other. I struggled with the bathroom- I almost slipped several times (I'm from the US, still getting used to the entire bathroom being the shower). Bring really good shower shoes! Those are the worst things I experienced at the Dongdaemun Wellbeing Hostel. There is free food, but you have to cook it yourself. I prefer cooking my own food. Upon checking out, the lady that was making sure the place was tidy (not sure if she is Mrs. Jong or not), offered me some delicious curry and rice that she prepared. There was a lot, so maybe it was for all the guests? There’s a bulletin covered in notes from past guests praising Mr. Jong and his great customer service. I will definitely be staying here again.
