Find Top Hostels in Seoul

Oh my goodness! I was so lucky to choose this hostel. I originally booked a room with two single beds and a private bathroom, but the front desk upgraded me directly to a triple room with one queen bed and one single bed – it was fantastic! It was also very close to the elevator, and there's a luggage scale available in the hallway. Downstairs, there's a huge Olive Young (pharmacy/beauty store), right in the heart of Myeongdong. Across the street, there's a convenience store and the delicious Sinseon Seolleongtang, so everything you need is super convenient. The hostel offers a simple breakfast; personally, I didn't find it particularly delicious, but it was acceptable. You have to wash your own dishes after eating, and the hygiene conditions are excellent. The front desk service was also very enthusiastic and spoke English. I recommend booking two months in advance for more choices and better prices.

This time, I decided to try a new area and chose this motel based on recommendations, and it was absolutely the right decision! It has great access to Mangwon Market, The Hyundai Seoul, and Mullae-dong, allowing me to enjoy a different kind of trip to Korea than usual. The bed was very comfortable. The shower worked perfectly. You can watch Netflix on a large screen. There was some street noise late at night, but it was tolerable. For less than 10,000 yen for two nights, it was excellent value for money. I'd love to stay here again.

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].

The location is very good and it is near lots of food place. The room is very clean and the staffs are very friendly helping us get taxi and showing us the directions. 10/10 honestly!! Don’t have an actual pic of the room but the picture is the food literally opposite on the other side of the road 🤤

It was nice that they let us take one drink per person, and the room was spacious and clean, which was nice😍 The staff were all very friendly! It was such a great experience that my Japanese friend said he wanted to stay here again when he comes to Korea❤️ I'm glad you made good memories.

Checkin starts at 3, I ended up there at 2:30, asked to wait very sternly, I said ya no worries I will and I sat on the sofa. But the guy who was supposed to check in, he was late and suddenly the women was now polite. The guy eventually came at 3:30. And was apologetic. Funny how people can be apologetic if its their mistake , but ask them 1 more question hours later they become rude. He spoke broken English which was hard to grasp as he was going really quickly on the do’s and dont’s but he was irritated at me for that. Next day I saw him all in smiles and laughter to a westerner. And calmly explaining everything. Rest, liked the location because its away from Myeongdang main street, so its calm while close enough to walk for stroll.

Clean and hygienic, quiet and tidy. Clean and hygienic, quiet and tidy. Clean and hygienic, quiet and tidy. Clean and hygienic, quiet and tidy. Clean and hygienic, quiet and tidy. Clean and hygienic, quiet and tidy. Clean and hygienic, quiet and tidy.

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.

+ Good location 👍🏻 + Compared to shared rooms I stayed at other places, this single room was peaceful for me.  + There is an elevator which is also good because lots of guesthouses don't have elevators. - Shower room is uncomfortable for me. (Though I know that type of showers are very common in Korea and maybe a part of the culture, I just wanted to mention it for other foreign people which may feel uncomfortable.) Showers are next to each other in the same room, seperated by the curtains. - Kitchen and the room was a bit dirty. The chair in the room had stains on it. It would be a better accomodation experience if the property were cleaner.

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.
