Hostel Hostel Korea - Original
20-12, Jong-ro 65-gil, Jongno-gu, Jongno-Gu, 03112 Seoul, South Korea – Great location - show map – Subway Access
I liked the owner who is flexible, (allowed for earlier check in), accommodating (no problem when I wanted to change a room) and speaks English. Simple breakfast, free laundry, WiFi, good location, easy to shop for food, TWorld, bus stop. I'd like to point out that this is a low budget establishment, so if you are looking for a perfection you should keep looking. However if you want a safe, clean, warm place to sleep at and your goal is to save money you have arrived.
South KoreaThe location was strategic - right between two train stations and there was a bus station nearby. Traveling was easy especially to and from airport as the airport bus stops near the hostel. It’s good value for money hostel accommodation :)
MalaysiaThe staffs were friendly. once my room was ready, I could check in. I didn't have to wait until 3pm. the Hostel was so clean and the room was very cosy. The bed sheets smelled really nice and the kitchen was nice where you can have a nice breakfast the next morning.
South KoreaThis hostel is located near Dongmyo bus stop and 2 subway stations (Dongmyo and Sinseoldong). They have everything we need, from hot and cold water, towels, bathroom stuff, kitchen utensils, hair blower, flat iron, even laundry machines. They also serve simple breakfast, coffee, tea, toast and cereals. I really commend the host and staff for being so kind to us, almost every day we encounter problems and they really help us. Thank you so much Mr. James, for being so kind. Jeongmal kamsahamnida!! 💕 From late check in up to our ride going to the airport, Ms. Janna accompanied us to the subway station since we didn't make it to the last bus going to airport. I will definitely book here again once I go back to South Korea. Super worth it! 👍👍👍👍👍
PhilippinesThe facilities are fine, not dirty but not as clean as I expected too. But for this amount of money it’s reasonable. You can use a kitchen to cook or a washing machine. Location is perfect to get to any places in Seoul. A lot of cafes and convenient stores just in a minute away. Staff is nice too. A video tutorial on how to get to a hostel was really useful for me.
