their rooms and bathrooms are clean and new. beware- the shower-like thing in the bathroom is an odd style of bedet, an embarassing thing to find out afterward, trust me.

The good things about this hotel is that it is very clean, no smell or anything you would expect out of a hostel. There is free skype to phone home, and free internet and computer at a 24-7 basis.
About the location, it is a easy walk from where airport bus 605--1 (or 6015) drop you (at Eujiro 4 station). It is mainly a woking class district, lots of dealers come here to buy goods (plastic, home supplies), and they tends to drink in the small shops around TA after work. Not a problem becuase they never bother you, but if travelling alone, might feel insecure. TA is very close to the river, in fact, I jog along the riverbank every morning! At weekends, the local would sit by the river, soak their foot in the icy water, and listen to local performances playing on the opposite bank. Quite a uinique experience.
In summary, I would stay at TA again, for its value, the good service, and the cleaniless. Just dont come back too late (but that is not easy, as the depaartment store nearby closed at 5 am!)

Rooms: Stayed at in a double room in this hostel for two nights in Dec 2008. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. TV, fridge, and safe are in the rooms. Room sizes vary, our room was smaller then my friend's even though we both paid the same price of a double room. There are no elevators so we had a bit of a work out carrying the luggage to the 3/F.

Price: Good deal for a place near the city center in Seoul. We paid 50k won per night for a double room.

Location: it is very close to the subway station. It might be a little hard to find initially because it's in a small alley but once you go in it's very easy to find since they have bright lighted yellow sign reading "Travelers A" in English! So it's great if you don't read Korean. It is also within walkable distance to Dongdaemum, in case you get hungry in the middle of the night.

Other Facilities: There are 2 computers in the lounge and you can surf the net for free. There's a common phone at the reception desk to make free international phone calls! Well they limit you to a couple of minutes, but it's a great way to call home or your friends since GSM phone doesn't work in Korea. They have complimentary coffee and tea in the lounge as well as magazine and travel guides. Hair dryer is not in the room, but you can ask for one at the reception. You can borrow electrical adapters too in case left yours a home. They also provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower cap, soap, and cotton pads.

Service: The ladies at the reception are very nice and very helpful and plus they speak English! We needed at taxi early in the morning and they helped us call one.

Overall: The place is newly renovated so it's very clean, the rooms are a bit less nice than the lounge but still very clean. I'll most likely come back again!

Stayed in a diff guesthouse for 2 nights before we chanced upon this gem. The staff here are super friendly ( well the girls are but the guys are a bit snobbish).

The place looks new and the rooms are clean. They dun clean the rooms everyday but that was fine with us. No lifts tho and our rooms were on the fourth floor. Yikes.

We booked a double room and we dragged our friend over when he reached Seoul (he was also staying at a diff guesthouse before joining us). He was glad we pulled him along.

They have 2 PCs for free internet use. Free usage of phone for local calls only. They have a mini 'pantry' with 3 in 1 drink satchets for guests.

Private rooms comes with tv, showers, safe, fridge and ac. They do have dormitories as well.

No curfew for guests but the staff will usually sleep in their dorms which is a room just behind the reception counter. They'll close the main gate/door but you can just press the doorbell if your locked out and they'll come out to open the door for you.

The place definitely made my stay more enjoyable after the my first 2 days in a another guesthouse.
