The room to small I have to leave my luggage in the hallway

The location was pretty convenient

Unfortunately I had a guy snoring in my room. Basically had no sleep at all. I think the two other guys in my room also had a bad sleep because of him.

Breakfast was great! And the staff is super nice.

The only downfall was the small room, it wasn’t a big issue as I got along with my roommates but getting ready in the morning was a bit of a challenge in the space. It wouldn’t put me off staying here again though.

Fantastic location and a great base to explore Insadong and Myeong-dong by foot, with super easy access to metro/bus links for other parts of the city. Lovely staff, clean and pretty good breakfast.

Nothing really.

This is a great option right in the middle of Insadong. There were plenty of restaurants, convenient stores, and local attractions within walking distance. The train station and airport bus stop are a 3 minute walk away. The area also felt really safe. I stayed in a private bedroom, and everything was as pictured. The room wasn't big but would be enough space for a solo traveler, couple, or parent with a child. It had a small fridge, ac, and tv. Note I didn't use the ac or TV. The bathroom had a wc, sink, and shower (no separate shower space). Basic toiletries and towels were provided. Breakfast is included and is self-serve eggs, bread, juice, tea, coffee, fruit, and assorted veggies. The host is really nice and is usually available to answer questions. Great value and great location.

It is a bit small for 3 persons and old fashioned but for the price very good.

The location is really good close to the palace and restaurants and shopping. The welcome is nice and very flexible for the schedules. There is a breakfast with a lot of things, tomatos, bread, eggs, yogourt etc.

The room was smaller than I thought. There was a AC but the remote was not there. Breakfast is free but you have to make it by yourself. Overall it was a good stay. The location was perfect. Close to the bus station and the metro. Lots of attractions within walking distance. One bus away from the Airport

The furnishings and overall interior are a bit dated, so you should be aware of that. The rooms are also on the smaller side. However, considering the very affordable price, I think it’s a fair trade-off.

The hostel has a really warm and welcoming atmosphere. I especially appreciated the generous breakfast – there were eggs, toast, muesli, and even sweet potatoes during my stay, plus juice and coffee. Mr. Kim, the owner, is incredibly kind and hospitable, which made a big difference. The rooftop terrace is absolutely lovely, a great place to relax. And the location is truly unbeatable – it doesn’t get better than this!

The place is not a hostel per se. It's more like a super big house with lots of rooms. There's no common room or any space you can hang out with others. The only thing you can use outside of your bed is the kitchen table which is also the table that the owner stays all day and when he goes to sleep (around 23:00) he just closes everything and turn off all the lights. So you either stay out of the hostel or go to your bed to sleep.

Free good breakfast. Location is superb with close transport, lots of amenities and quiet neighborhood.

The price, the convenience and the friendliness was great!

Not a big social hub

Sanitairy facilities

The rooms could do with updating and the position of the shower wasn't ideal as it turned the bathroom into a wet room. The key lock system was temperamental at times and it would be helpful if the hostel contact number was on whatsapp given that many international guests can't ring phone numbers but can call numbers on whatsapp.

The hostel was extremely good value for such a fantastic location close to key tourist attractions. The owner was helpful and friendly and the free breakfast was a bonus.

bathroom was really bad. broken toilet seat and shower pressure was bad. no hot water. room was smelly and not that clean

location is really good 2 mins walk from anguk station. market nearby. indian restaurant is also nearby. very close distance to palace and market. breakfast was good.

It's not a proper shower. If you're really trying to go cheap it's doable. My friend and I were fine not having a proper shower for a week.

Cheap, good location, locals were good with english, could leave bags there at any time. The rooftop area was fun but it was winter when I went so it was too cold.

Stayed in December 2024

The room smelt really, really strongly of what I hope was cleaning products, particularly the mattresses. It didn't go away even with me airing out the room as best as possible. Very headache inducing and I ended up sleeping with a mask on to try and reduce the smell.

Great location, it was convenient and nice to have breakfast and coffee provided, and the room had all the necessities.

Bathroom was a bit dated/run down (But still clean and functional!)

Great Location, close to metro station and plenty of local bars, restaurants, and shopping. Host was super friendly with good communication before and during the stay. Room was very cheap and clean. Fresh towel provided each day.

It’s a small property so rooms & common spaces might be a bit cramped; but for this location, price and overall quality, you can’t beat it

Incredible location- walking distance to all the main sights, in a cute traditional neighborhood, right off a major bus stop and metro station (whose line connects direct to the Express Bus Terminal); the owner is really nice & there is a cute cat! Also, a nice rooftop to chill on & free use of the washing machine. Plus, it was the only hostel dorm I ever stayed in that had its own mini-fridge.
