Σεούλ Hostels

"Excellent choice for staying in Seoul! The main advantage of this hostel is its location. It's practically in the city center, so it was very convenient to get to the main attractions and explore Seoul without wasting extra time. The hostel was very clean, cozy, and pleasant to stay in. The staff was incredibly friendly: the hostess always answered questions, helped with any requests, and created a comfortable atmosphere. A big plus was the option to leave luggage both before check-in and after check-out prior to the flight. The room was small, but for Seoul and this price, it's totally expected. Overall, everything essential was there, and for travelers who spend most of their time in the city, this is a great option. The only thing is that it can be quite noisy from the street in the evenings, so if you're a light sleeper, it's worth keeping this in mind."

"This was my third time staying here, and the location is still super convenient. Food deliveries come right to your room, and there are plenty of restaurants downstairs, plus coffee shops and convenience stores. The guesthouse is right on the main road, so no navigating alleyways. The area feels safe too, with lots of young people and university students around. There's a washing machine and dryer in the hallway, which is really handy. I switched rooms midway through my stay. The underfloor heating in the smaller room wasn't very warm, but the larger room was excessively hot – as someone from the south, I couldn't handle it and had to use the AC to adjust the temperature. I added the owner on WeChat, and they were always responsive and very helpful. All in all, it's perfect for a solo traveler. I'll definitely come back if I get the chance!"

"Before checking in, I was slightly concerned about previous comments regarding bathroom layout and luggage space, but my experience was 100% positive! There was plenty of designated room to keep our bags secure, and the shower area felt completely private with steady, hot water pressure. The rooms and shared spaces were thoroughly sanitized and clean. It’s brilliant how quickly management updated their amenities!"

"On one of the nights during our stay, the fire alarm went off at 3 AM. We sat on the curb across the street, shivering in the cold for half an hour before the fire truck arrived. During that entire half hour, no staff member came out to explain the situation. Staff from Hotel Skypark II across the street did come out to check, and after the fire trucks arrived, we also saw Skypark staff communicating with the firefighters. About an hour later, other guests started returning to their rooms, and we followed suit. Even at that point, no staff from this hotel had appeared. On our way back to the room, we noticed a large amount of clutter in the stairwell (see photo) — a hazard in itself.  A few minutes after we got back to our room, the fire alarm suddenly went off again, but just for a few seconds, which startled us so much that we immediately went down to the front desk on the 3/F. At that time, there were two foreign female sitting in the common area. We thought they were just guests and chatted with them for a bit, only to find out during the conversation that they were actually staff members here. According to them, they were something like international students or exchange students working here— not trained professionals you would expect to handle an emergency. We also figured out during the conversation that they had actually been standing outside with the guests the whole time while we were all waiting for the fire trucks to arrive — yet even then, neither of them had come forward to say anything or offer any reassurance. We guessed that they were probably working here in exchange for a place to stay, which would explain why no one seemed to be properly in charge when things went wrong. Putting this incident aside, this hostel is actually quite good.  The three of us stayed in a family twin room. We were able to open two large suitcases in the entrance hallway, and there was plenty of space at the foot of the beds and underneath them to temporarily store things we had just bought. The double bed was more than spacious enough for two people, and there was also lots of room on the shelf behind our bed to place personal items. The only minor complaint is that a smell occasionally came from the ventilation system on the bathroom ceiling. Also, there is no shower stall/ bathtub (see photo), so when you shower, the entire floor and toilet bowl gets wet, and there is no place to hang clothes to change into after showering. The room was pretty clean. The common area has a vacuum cleaner, a washer-dryer, and a luggage scale. There is also a microwave, an oven, and a stovetop available for use. For breakfast, bread, eggs, cereal, milk, and Indomie instant noodles are provided for you to cook yourself.   The hotel's location is very convenient — it's right across from Hotel Skypark II. It's a short walk to Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station and Myeongdong, and there are plenty of great restaurants nearby, as well as a convenience store right across the street. If it weren't for this incident, I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel."

"The room was decent. We stayed here because we were going out in Itaewon at night. We arrived very late, but the self-check-in was quite convenient. It's just a few minutes' walk to Itaewon. (On the way here from the subway station, there's a small downhill path with delicious potato pork bone soup and a supermarket – very convenient!) The room size was okay, but the bathroom was a bit small, not big enough for two people at once. The table could even expand, which was nice! Breakfast was a self-serve buffet, and it looked fun to fry your own eggs, but we couldn't get up early enough. The microwave and water dispenser are on different floors."

"The location is in a small street full of busy forklifts, which seems strange at first, but actually the public transport options around are super convenient. The capsule is comfortable and just big enough. Everything feels rather anonymous and there is no staff to greet you most of the time. Bathroom is OK, showers are in the basement and do just what they're supposed to. I'm not sure what the staff is up to in ”The Capsule Research & Development Center” 😜"

"This was a great place for a solo traveler! The location was perfect, right in front of DDP. It's in a multi-use building, so it might take a little searching to find it. Opening the entrance requires a touch panel, which might seem a bit tricky at first, but it's not difficult at all. The shower and toilet are in the same area with no partition, which some might dislike, but it's manageable if you don't mind things getting a little wet (lol). They provided a toothbrush and two bottles of water. The hairdryer was a Dyson. Even with the AC on, the room still felt a bit warm. My room was on a different floor than the check-in, but the lower floor had amenities like a microwave and coffee, and it seemed like the kitchen and other facilities were freely available for use!"

"The place looks exactly like the pictures! While it's small and lacks a view, considering that, the location and service are excellent. It was a bit tricky to find at first, especially with the sudden rain, as there's no clear sign on the ground floor. If it hadn't been raining, I probably would have looked up and found it more easily. I was on a trip to Seoul with my two kids, and they were thrilled with the late-night ramen! Being right in the heart of Myeongdong, we just dropped off our bags and headed straight out to explore. It was great that they even provided chargers, and the outlets by the bunk bed were really convenient. Despite the small size, everything from the hangers to the amenities felt thoughtfully provided, and nothing was lacking. Plus, there were plenty of towels! We had a wonderful stay!"

"I chose this hotel because I was attending a concert at KSPO and it's a direct subway ride back. Even though I was alone, they gave me a twin room! The hotel's location is a bit dimly lit at night, but the room itself was clean. The toilet and sink had a slight sewage-like smell, but it was tolerable. For just sleeping, it was perfectly satisfactory. They provided a set of amenities, which I used. However, the comb was reusable, so I used my own. My room was on the 3rd floor, and the stairs were a bit difficult to climb. On the first floor, there's a shared space with a coffee machine, washing machine, kitchen, and they even provided light snacks. Overall, I was satisfied."

"The location is fantastic! You can easily walk to Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village. The subway station is right next door, and Myeongdong is just a short walk across the street. Being a new hotel, it's incredibly clean. I arrived half an hour early, and after adding them on WeChat, they immediately processed my check-in. Any questions I had were answered super quickly via WeChat, which was a huge contrast to other older hotels I've stayed at that didn't even bother replying. This place offers incredible value for money! My room even had a small bathtub, a makeup mirror on the desk, and a small round table next to the bed. It's small but has everything you need, a really thoughtful guesthouse. The third and sixth floors house other hostels. On the sixth floor, there's even a luggage slide for going up the stairs, which is a clever design. Across the street is the Westin Hotel, where you can catch the airport bus. Highly recommended!"
