Find Top Hostels in Seoul

This is my fourth time staying here. The location is fantastic! It's just a 100-meter walk straight from Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station, Exit 2. There are tons of food options nearby, many of which are open until late at night. Check-in is also very convenient. If you arrive late, they'll leave your room card at the front desk on the third floor. For check-out, you just drop the room card into the key box in the elevator.

Don’t let the old building intimidate you! When you arrive in the actual hostel which is multiple floors 14-16, it is not outdated at all. Location is top notch, I have no words for this. When you go out of the bldg, you are already in Myeongdong night market. For budget travelers, the breakfast is also significant/enough which helped a lot in this trip. I also got upgraded from 6 to 4 ppl room which was a bonus. One thing to note though is that the bathroom is shared for the whole floor and centralized near the elevator. it’s clean and have ample showers. the only concern is when you need to pee at the wee hours of the morning, your room might be a bit far from it. Will definitely stay again!

Excellent hotel! The room was clean, even in hard-to-reach spots (which was fine for me, despite my dust allergy). The bedding was clean and nice, the pillows and mattress were comfortable, and the towels were spotless. The shower was convenient, and the toiletries were pleasant, even including toner and facial lotion. However, the dental kit or extended amenity kit cost extra (1500 KRW and 2000 KRW). Even for a tall person, the bed was comfortable. There's a kettle and cups, a hairdryer, bathrobes, hangers, and slippers. Overall, the room is small, but there's enough space for two people to spread out their belongings and repack suitcases comfortably. There's also a good gym with dumbbells, a couple of machines, cardio equipment, and mats with rollers – perfect for stretching your back and legs after a long walk. The gym also has a shower, toilet, and towels. Breakfast was pretty cool! It seemed a bit simple, but it was so convenient to have breakfast right at the hotel. There were sandwiches with processed cheese, cereal with milk, coffee, and ramen (for those who wanted it). You could also buy an egg or sausage from 7/11 to supplement it, making it a decent breakfast that would last for about 4 hours. There's a bathtub for rent, which is part of the 'spa' in the name, but we didn't try it. The airport bus stop is just a 5-minute walk away, and there are many restaurants with delicious food nearby.

This is an excellent hotel, and I would definitely stay here again if I have the chance. They offer luggage storage, the facilities are very well-maintained, and the room size is just right. The location is superb, very close to both the subway and bus stations, and there are plenty of great restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and even Olive Young nearby – everything you could need! The cleanliness is outstanding! Out of all the hotels I've stayed at in Korea, this is the only one where I couldn't find a single speck of dust on the tabletops. I'd especially like to thank the front desk and housekeeping staff; everyone's attitude was exceptionally good, and their wonderful service added extra comfort to my stay. I will definitely book here again if I get the opportunity!

We stayed at this hotel from August 10th to 17th. Location-wise, it's a 50-minute commute to the city center. Check-in is done via a machine, so don't expect a smiling face or a warm welcome wishing you a pleasant stay. Not a huge deal, though. The room isn't cleaned during your stay, as the owner (an elderly gentleman) informed us. However, towels were changed twice, and toiletries were replenished. The bed was quite firm, which wasn't ideal after long walks until midnight, but it only bothered us for the first 15 minutes before we'd drift into a deep sleep. The air conditioning works well, and so does the extractor fan. The panoramic windows really add to the hotel's appeal. Overall, I'd give it 2 stars, which is what it's rated.

The location is very convenient, about a 5-minute walk from the subway and bus stations. The room isn't huge but is well-laid out, clean, and the bedding is comfortable. The front desk staff were very friendly and check-in was quick. Overall, it offers great value for money, and I would consider staying here again next time I visit [city].

Read all the way. When we first arrived, we were not prepared for the location. We came on the night trash goes out the next day. There was trash everywhere on the street and we stayed in a back alley hotel that (at night) looked sketchy as heck. When we got into the lobby, Lee greeted us with the biggest smile and warmth and brought my concern level down. When we asked for universal adapters, he gladly gave us a few. When we asked for more blankets, they hand delivered to the room. Every day they gave us free bottled water, and the hotel has 2 different floors with public bathrooms, so families traveling together can always have a place to 💩. The hotel has an attached bar that serves food, we enjoyed this as well. Drinks were cheap and good. The location was less than a 1 minute walk to the bus and train station. The best pizza place in the city is around the corner ”Records Pizza”. A must go too, we stuck to plain and pepperoni pizza, their specials are an acquired taste. The hotel is full of unique touches everywhere and exploring it was fun. You can people watch from the balcony on the 2nd floor and soak in the night life on nights you don't feel like going back out. After that first night arriving, we felt safe and at home. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This hotel is just right for a 2-3 night stay. My check-in was scheduled for 5 PM, but when I asked if I could store my luggage, they actually let me check in at 3 PM. The nearest major station is Gangnam, so getting around by bus is quite convenient. If you have a lot of luggage, I'd recommend taking a taxi. Given the hilly area, a combination of bus and taxi would be ideal. I chose a standard double room, which is perfect for those who prefer showers. The only minor issue was a slight cigarette smell.

Stayed here again. It's close to Gangnam, and this time, this place was the cheapest. **Facilities:** They provide a free water dispenser with both hot and cold water, and a kitchen where you can cook. The hot water and air conditioning both work great. However, the bed rails felt a bit flimsy and wobbly. **Cleanliness:** Clean. **Environment:** It's comfortable when there aren't many people, but it gets very crowded when full... the space is just too small. **Service:** Average.

Great location, with several good restaurants nearby. The room was good value for the price. Myeongdong isn't much cleaner, and this place was a really good deal. They even provided disposable toiletries. Overall, I think it's a good place, especially considering how cheap it was.
