Reviews for Seoul Hotels

Carrot Hostel
4.1/526 Reviews
Sinchon/Hongdae
The single room is very comfortable, a person is very just a space, only five steps from the subway station, the room is also very comfortable, the toilet hot water is also very strong, the washing is super comfortable! However, the toilet door is not sealed, and the water is easy to flow out of the room when taking a bath. Except for this, everything else is excellent.

We sleep there for 5 nights and we met the owner. The owner is so kind and she can speak english and mandarin too! We’re there at seollal( korean ***** new year) and the owner cooked us a korean traditional meal and it’s so good really grateful for that! The kitchen room and bathroom is spacious and clean, it’s also neat and very homey. Really recommend you this hotel because the location is very strategic too! It’s my 2nd visit already and can’t wait to comeback!
Guesthouse K
2/50 Reviews
Sinchon/Hongdae
I always use it when visiting Seoul. The location is a bit confusing, but I think it's good because it's close to the subway station and the surroundings are downtown. It is a good guesthouse considering the price.
Sunnyhill Hostel Hongdae
4/50 Reviews
Sinchon/Hongdae
The location is a little far from the subway station, but I walked a few alleys to find a lot of snacks nearby and the famous cream bread at the front desk. The girls at the front desk speak Chinese very kind and introduce us to shopping. The washing machine and dryer are very good Very easy to operate

The One Hostel Hongdae in Seoul - Foreigner Only
3.9/59 Reviews
Sinchon/Hongdae
After 4 flights of very steep stairs, i was shown old bunkbeds with uncomfortable matresses. My bed had the a/c unit right over my head, buzzing and prepping me for pneumonia. I asked if I could change to the empty bunk, but was told I had to check with a guest who hadn't checked in yet, instead of taking some ownership of actually managing a hostel. Breakfast is only from 9 till 10.30am!! Most of the world already has half a day done by that time. It is run by a young french couple and unfortunately they confirm the stereotype of a being a bit stuck up. I did not feel welcome, nor comfortable here. Do yourself a favour and
