Great Hostel

Great hostel for my week in Seoul. The location was very central to many tourist spots and very walkable. The host was kind and provided a nice breakfast each morning consisting of eggs, bread, fruit and juices at no additional cost. The room was a bit small and older, but well within expectations for the price point. I felt safe and would stay again!

Great service, great location for a good price

The location could not be better, itโ€™s right at the insadong street. The rooms are in good condition. The room I got even had tv and our own washroom. Cleanness was good for hostel standards. The kitchen might look overwhelming but the breakfast was really good. The owner is a really nice guy and was always making sure people had what they needed

Excellent

Comfortable, clean and very well situated. The rooms have little extras, like a bedside lamp and multi plug access by the bed, hangers and rail, and it's quite spacious. The surrounding area is charming with a wide selection of restaurants and it's on the doorstep of the city center. I will definitely stay again when in Seoul.
