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!

Pros: location, cost, rooftop, rooms have ac cons: rooms are tiny for 4 people. bathrooms had visible mold

6/10 Good

하룻밤 자기에 큰 문제는 없었지만... 다음에 또 이용하지는 않을 것 같습니다. 주차가능이라는 표시가 주차비를 내야하는 건지는 몰랐어요. 그렇게 비싸지는 않았지만... 숙박비가 저렴하니 감수해야 하는 거라고 생각하다가도...비슷한 가격에 다른 좋은 곳에 머물렀던 경험이 있어... 몇 자 적습니다.

It's a small hostel but very welcoming. Mr Kim, the owner, is the best host! Keep it up Ajussi!

Great service, great location for a good price

The location could not be better, it’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

Einzelzimmer, Solo, Lage, sehr zu EMPFEHLEN.

Alles sehr zu frieden. Hostel ist in der Stadt. Fast alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß zu erreichen. Kakao Mapp, und Google Mapps helfen einen sehr gut durch die ganze Stadt. Taxi sind hier finde ich sehr günstig. Hostel Einzelzimmer für Solo perfekt aussreichend. Grüße an den Besitzer der immer freundlich und hilfsbereit war, grüße an die Katze.

당일치기여행으로 ok

당일예약으로, 도착해서 주인분이 예약을 아셔서 방 청소가 안되었어요 다행히 전체적으로 깨끗한 느낌이어서 괜찮았어요 조식은 내가 토스트랑 계랕후라이를 해서 먹었어요 전체적으로는 마음에 들어요

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.

Hostal muy cerca de la parada de metro y del bus del aeropuerto. También tiene algunos palacios cerca donde se puede llagar andando. Restaurantes con comida tradicional en la misma zona.

위치가 좋아요~

위치가 좋았습니다. 3호선 안국역에서 가까워 대중교통으로 다니기 좋고 경복궁, 운현궁, 북촌은 걸어서 다닐 수 있었습니다 인사동 골목 자락인 것도 좋고요. 호스트께서도 친절하셔서 편히 지냈습니다. 아침도 좋았는데 테이블이 조금 작아 아쉬웠습니다. 다음에도 머물 의향 있습니다.

場所はアングク駅6番出口から二分です。設備は古いですが必要なものはそろっています。正式な名前はINSA HOSTELです。価格から考えて納得していますので、次回も利用します。
ひろひろ, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

5泊滞在しました。朝食はサラダがあり、好きなだけ食べれたのでとても良かったです。部屋は4人部屋でしたが、とても狭いです。そして自分だけ良ければいいという人と一緒になり本当に困りました。協調性のない人は個室に宿泊してください。スタッフはとても親切に対応してくれましたが、こういうゲストハウスに泊まる以上、協調性はとても大事です。最も今回のようなトラブルメーカーは初めて出会ったので、アンラッキーでした。その人以外の宿泊客は皆フレンドリーで、ホステルに問題はありませんでした。
