Rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. Nice community room and rooftop to hangout. Free laundry, fridges and microwaves etc. The location is perfect, many bars and restaurants around. I had a good time staying there.
WiFi could be a bit better. But no big problem

+ Cold and hot drinking water
+ Hot water for shower
+ Self check-in option if you arrive after 6pm
I expected more based on the high ratings of the property, but the facilities were really not set up for the number of people and for comfort. The two nights I spent there were among the worst sleep I got in a year of travel.
- no small lights by the bedside, only bright ceiling lights which meant people kept turning them on even late or middle of the night
- no privacy curtains - related to the above, you have no way to block out the light
- bathroom door didn't lock in a dorm of 8 people...
- the bathroom was attached, no soundproofing, you can hear every little sound
- very limited room for the luggage of all people
- lack of good common area. There was one downstairs but it seemed to have very limited hours based on a sign
- last: this is not the fault of the hostel, but some of my roommates were very inconsiderate, coming and going with noise very late and in the middle of the night, and having alarm clocks at 4.30am or 5am (snoozing 3 times!?!). The hostel could have at least tried to encourage some quiet hours

Close to the tube station, surrounding by shops in any king and most important foodsssss.
Easy to do the check in. Bed comfy, in the bathroom provide toothpaste, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, this i super convenient when traveling. You do have a switch for hot water if needed. You do have a rooftop, super cool to admire the moon at night with a cold beer. Common Area where you do have water dispenser ( hot / cold water) instant coffee and tea, free washing machine to use. super secure, good wifi. lovely hostel to stay in Daegu.

Nice staff, room was very spacious. Rooms felt decently clean. Loved how they had multiple areas to eat and relax outside your dorm room. Great location aswell!! Next to everything and 1 min walk to a nearby market plus you’re surrounded by 1000s of food options

Breakfast was good and typical of S. Korean Guesthouses/Hostels. Cereal, milk, juice, toast Peanut Butter, Jam. I had a problem getting your app to confirm my reservation with my cc. The manager on duty was gracious enough to take me in for the night and I paid in Korean won. They seemed to have a full class of schoolkids that were going through! The company of guests in the common room were a diverse, enjoyable group of travelers.
I'm nit picking here, lol! It was quite tight using a slightly renovated, modified vertical building and had to bring my bicycle up a flight of stairs. Still VERY thankful for the hot shower and the nights quiet rest with other caring travelers.

Bed was comfortable.
Great location, very central.
Staff is very nice and kind.
Good temperature in the room, warm enough.
On my reservation made on Booking, i booked a 6 bed dorm but I got a 8 bed dorm.
In my room with 8 beds there was a group of 7 people who were living there so it felt like staying someone else's home, but this is not the hostel's fault.

Vert nice location near restaurants for diner (closed for lunch time). Nice staff and room big enough.
Bathroom would need an update and a nicer common area would be appreciated.

Loved how big the room and bathroom were. The night views is also amazing. They were so helpful and told us about a free tour that we got to participate in which included a free dinner! Check-in and check-out went smoothly and we were very happy about our stay here.

Each room has its own bathroom, as well as windows that open. There is a community room with a refrigerator, microwave, and water machine. For those traveling to Daegu Airport or Daegu Station, it is an ideal location. It is a very short walk to the nearest subway exit/entrance Jungangno Station exit 1. Across the road is the downtown, with a flourishing nightlife, numerous retaurants, coffee shops, and shopping. Next to Empathy Guest House is a cafe called "Mansion 5", which has one of the best western style brunches and all of the baked goods are freshly made on-site. The staff is very warm, friendly, and helpful. I stayed there 29 nights (newly retired from teaching and going home) and I didn't get Covid!!
