Seoul Hostels

Pros: Nice room, very comfortable bed. Good breakfast with peanut butter, tasty bread, cheese and ham. Prices are very reasonable! Reccomend!

Pros: Good location, friendly staff

Pros: the location is more than perfect and they clean EVERYDAY. it stayed there for 3 weeks and the bathroom was spotless everyday, the change the sheets and get you clean towels everyday. They room never felt stuffy or humid, the A.C. is powerful so I was ok. im for sure coming back.

Cons: the small fridge in the room was not really working and smelt like beer, so we didn't feel like putting the food in there, but it was propably just my room. If you are in a hurry to go some were make sure you make some extra time because the elevator is always busy because there are restaurants and other business in the building.

Pros: Staff really friendly

Pros: Their front desk are very friendly. Speaks good English too.

Cons: The mattresses are too hard and “springy” but we were able to get comfortable by adding blankets on the mattresses.

Pros: The staff was helpful and very kind, they speak really good English. The room was spotless, we could have choosen when we wanted to have our room cleaned, there were unlimited coffee, tea and water. Also, the hotel is located at the one of the best, unique districts of the city, nearest subway stations are about 300 metres on foot. The are numerous shops and street food places just behind the corner, where, especially at the evening, the crowds of both tourists and locals are just wandering around looking for some food/clothes/cosmetics which is really great opportunity to feel the real atmosphere of the capital city.

Cons: Well, the only thing I can mention is the monotonous set of meals for breakfast. We've been staying for two weeks and there was always the same food to eat. The lack of any vegetables or fruits was noticeable.

Pros: I really enjoy at this place that i stayed there for a week. The staff was great and help immediatly if i had a problem in the room. The key is a card and i prefer that one. They bring you big towels and the hotel is in the middle of Myeondong, 5 min walk from line 4

Pros: The location is good

Cons: Very noisy from the next room and kitchen

Pros: Good location, 5 min walking to Eujiro 1 station, located in heart of Myeongdong shopping area and i stayed in room with Namsan tower view.

Pros: Only stayed here for a night but it was perfectly comfortable and in a great location.

Pros: There’s washing machine free to use.

Cons: The toilets always wet.

Pros: Very close to subway

Cons: The staff was good and doing his best but he is only one (I stayed 4 nights and I just saw him all day and night shifts!) Bathroom is too small and not clean and together with toilet so toilet’s floor is always wet I saw a cockroach in my room and there were plenty mosquitoes Bed is not comfortable at all, It is old fashion nosy bed

Pros: 1. Good location. 2. Clean and neat. 3. Staff are nice

Cons: 1. Waterpipe of wash basin runs on the toilet floor. Wet and slippery... 2. Mini refrigerator is not functioning.

Pros: Easy to find location and late check-in

Cons: The sink had no faucet in the room we stayed in and had an urine smell. Not very clean, dust and grime on the floor and appliances. Also, customer service needs to be better. Had to fight for an refund and told us to cancel our booking to receive one, proceeded to mark us as a no-show when we didn’t.

Cons: The staff/male receptionist is not polite & friendly.. very disappointing! The toilet is dirty. and the male and female use the same toilet. the bedsheet seems dirty as well.

Pros: Nice staff and hotel

Pros: The price

Cons: Bathroom doorknob broke and I was locked in for a while.

Pros: Location is good, nearby metro and major attractions. Easy to get to airport ; free laundry. Staff are friendly

Cons: Some small things can improve such as decoration. However the money you spend for a single room here is great value

Pros: It's close to the subway station Honguk Univ. exit 6 and close to downtown Hongdae.

Cons: Kitchen and utensils were not that clean. There were lockers without a lock, so you had either bring your own lock & key or buy one at the reception.

Pros: No

Cons: It was dirty.

Pros: Kimchee Guesthouse was amazing. Great place to meet people and go out. Delon from the staff was awesome. He bummed me up to a single room when everything was full. Rating 10/10

Pros: Strategic location

Cons: No lift

Pros: Good stuff, comfortable check in . Good place on map.

Cons: All ok

Pros: Amazing place to make new friends and have some fun! People are nice and it’s super well located, in a good part of town and near a huge station.

Cons: Multiple times there was no toilet paper at night, but it was right before the staff cleaning time.

Pros: Location

Cons: Staffs are rude and not helpful, rather cocky. End of the story.

Pros: Its position is the best. Easily reachable from the airport, and it is easy to go to anywhere in Seoul from this guesthouse.

Cons: The only real problem was that the mosquito net was in terrible shape, despite having patches it still has big holes in it.

Pros: I enjoyed the location and some of my roommates were great and made the stay welcoming. The rooms were clean and restrooms were neat. I got a Vietnam feeling in the restrooms cause they have setup as well and I enjoyed that. But all in all I would go back.

Cons: The staff was great but the first night was a little standoffish and didn't warm up until the 2nd night there. The dorm I stayed in was nice but felt a little old and not really a dorm feeling to it but a camping cabin style feeling. But I slept great and enjoyed my roommates.

Pros: I had great time with staff members. They were all friendly and we hung out every night. Especially Chio from romania and Andres from sweden welcomed me from my arrival and helped me with location and foods everything!! Great thanks to all and i would highly recommend to stay in this place :))

Pros: The staff, especially Dana and Cedi were great!

Pros: The location was perfect and the hostel had a very cozy and welcoming atmosphere, Dana’s gorgeous artworks on the walls made it all the more beautiful. There’s a bunch of awesome people staying and working in this hostel too, so if you’re looking for a cheap but good value place to stay plus eye opening conversations I would highly recommend :)

Pros: Value for money

Cons: Do not respecting for guesters

Pros: I spent 1 night here, for this price it is a nice hostel, in the heart of the City. The staff is super nice, Marlo was really kind and helped me even with my flight ticket.

Cons: Got a bed in a 4 bed-room, and it was way smaller than expected, only a little space between the beds.

Pros: 친절함 수건 줌 worth the money

Cons: 지저분함 시끄러움

Pros: Nice chillout atmosphere, cheap price, nice shower rooms and toilets, good stuff (especially Seda was so helpful and cheerful) and free coffee ofc :)

Cons: Mattresses are pretty hard

Pros: thank you for the stay, it was short but perfect. A big thanks to Mathias and the manager for the help. See you some day

Pros: I did not like anything about this place. It’s really bad. Cause I have stayed at so many hostels, motels, dorms, etc.. and this is by far the worst place I’ve ever been to. Only thing good is probably because they’re on hongdae accessible to restaurants and fastfood. That’s it!

Cons: This was the worst hostel I’ve ever been to. I emailed them on first night about the complaints and no one even bothered to reply right away even the next day, and it was a weekday! Business day! I’m not sure if they’re also being racists, met some filipinos on our room floor too, and sharing bathroom with them and they have the same complaints and regrets booking this hostel. Why would you put us all together on a floor with dirty rooms and so many mosquitos? We also had to rent an adapter for the plugs which is very stupid considering they should already know foreigners are not usually using that certain plug and that we wouldn’t know. They should know since most of their guests are foreigners, not much koreans. Then lady at the reception would suggest us just buy it at daiso so it’s cheaper, when wtf, why don’t you just let us have it in the rooms? You had us share broken sink and clogged toilet w/ flush broken. Then they would suggest you to use the 4th floor bathroom which is waaaaayyy cleaner than our floor and they can’t maintain our bathroom. Really? We stayed there for 2 nights even if I booked it for 6 cause we didn’t have a choice til I found a better place to stay on the 3rd day and booked it right away and left this disgusting place, I didn’t even care about refunding the money, they can eat it. I can’t even explain all my frustrations about this place, it’s the worst! Close to a pigsty. They would have a sign that said be quiet around this time or something like that. When people at the common area are loud af at night. Another, I noticed that all their staff are also the ones living there maybe thats why they don’t bother cleaning cause “since it’s only them living in it” mentality. I was supposed to post pictures but that would really ruin them and I guess there’s a lot of foreigners working there who needs help, so I guess they still need a job.

Pros: Location in Myeongdong

Cons: Will never stay here again. Very old small rooms, hard bed very uncomfortable, breakfast is bread & coffee only (8am-11am) breakfast area is too small good for 4-5pax only. The towels are too small, no enough outlet, no daily cleaning service you (have to request in the reception) when we requested for room cleaning they just took out the garbage and did not clean the room, toilet and even the beddings no toiletries just one small soap. The location is in a small alley with lots of garbage at night. We are frequent travelers in Seoul and we always stay in Myeongdong, this is the first time to be disappointed in our accommodation we regret choosing this place. You’ll find a better place with a cheaper price and way better facilities. We will not recommend this place.

Pros: The kitchen was clean

Pros: All staff are very friendly and helpful! But the bathroom is bit old but is clean! The room is very simple and comfy!

Cons: The noise from next-door, I can hear other people talking .

Pros: Nothing

Cons: I know it is just a residence room, but you have the toilet in the same room with you and you got all the smell and no window. I had to book a hotel room because of the toilet smell.
