Seoul Hostels

"Fantastic stay! The room was spotless and well-arranged, with all the amenities you could need. The bedding was so soft and comfortable, I slept wonderfully. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful, making check-in and check-out a breeze. Their service was truly friendly. The hotel's location is super convenient for getting around and finding places to eat. Overall, it's great value for money. I'll definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip, highly recommended!"

"Everything is fine but quiet hour is absolutely optional/non-existent for the local ladies I had the misfortune of sharing the dorm with🙄 ... However it's not the hostel's fault. Receptionists can't play police or be there 24/7. But just... If you want to really sleep during the night and explore during the day, it's a bit of a jungle in the room."

"Two women stayed here, and the area around the hotel was bustling with restaurants like chicken places and insa-nekko (likely referring to a lively street or area), so even though we arrived late, we felt safe. However, one thing to note is that the hotel is on the 6th and 7th floors of a building, but there's a karaoke bar on the 5th floor. An old man from the karaoke bar was handing out flyers by the elevator and would approach us quite a bit. That was the only thing I disliked, but if you just tell him you're going to the hotel, he doesn't persistently follow you, so it's fine! It might have just been our room, but while it was very clean, there was a sewage smell, which was tough because we had to open the window to air it out even though it was cold, haha. Other than that, it was truly a fantastic hotel!"

"I traveled to Korea alone this time. The accommodation is located in the first building down the alley between Oly and Butter in Myeongdong. I stayed on the 16th floor and booked a six-person room. Everyone was very quiet and considerate – luggage was kept in the hallway, and the room was for sleeping. The front desk is on the 15th floor. The staff member I met spoke English, and communication was easy; just say 'check-in' or 'check-out,' and they'll help you out. They also provide free WiFi and towels, which was great. The restaurant on the 15th floor closes its lights after 10 PM, but they allowed me to sit and eat there on my first night. The bathrooms are separate for men and women, with separate wet and dry areas. Free drinking water is also available, which was a nice touch. The hostel staff were genuinely wonderful and made me feel very secure. The transportation is super convenient, very close to the subway station. Oly is right downstairs, and there's a CU convenience store across the street. I would definitely choose this place again for my next trip. Thank you!"

"The location is truly excellent. The subway station right next to it is a major hub, making it super convenient to get anywhere. Taxis are also easy to hail, and it's not as crowded as Myeongdong. Plus, the 6001 airport bus stop is just a few steps away. There are tons of food options in Dongdaemun nearby, with plenty to choose from, and the shopping malls are great for browsing. Having an elevator is a big plus. However, the room is quite small; I couldn't even fully open my 24-inch suitcase. The blackout curtains and soundproofing aren't great, especially the soundproofing. If you need a quiet sleeping environment, definitely bring earplugs. Overall, I'd still recommend it, especially for those on a solo trip for business (like sourcing goods) or for K-pop fans."

"Every time I come to Seoul, I always stay at this hotel. Not only is it affordable, but it’s also just a 5-minute walk to the subway, and there are plenty of great places to eat nearby. The best part? It has an elevator! This branch has an elevator, so you don’t have to carry your luggage up and down the stairs yourself."

"My first impression was that it was very clean, but a bit small! The bathroom had everything you needed. The location couldn't be better! It's just 100 meters in a straight line to the Shinsegae Duty-Free Shop and 450 meters to Lotte Duty-Free Shop! This place is a godsend for international shoppers, saving a lot of travel hassle. We booked late and didn't get a room with a window, which was a bit of a shame! If you care about your living environment, try to get a windowed room, though they are a bit more expensive. The downside is that the soundproofing isn't great, which isn't ideal for light sleepers. The upside: the breakfast is also very rich! Different kinds of porridge every day! Staple foods include bread, eggs, and cabbage and corn salad! You wash your own dishes. Disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste are provided! Just bring your own toothbrush cup and slippers!"

"This hotel really exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I experienced thoughtful service. The front desk attendant was not only very friendly but also proactively upgraded our room. The room was super clean, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the view outside the window was absolutely stunning. The biggest surprise was coming back in the evening to find sleep-aid milk and a handwritten note by the bedside – the attention to detail was perfect! The breakfast had a wide variety, and the local specialty snacks were very authentic. They even gave us a small souvenir when we checked out. There wasn't a single unpleasant moment during our entire stay. Next time I visit this city, I will definitely stay here again. I highly recommend it to my friends!"

"This is a very charming hotel near Myeongdong, very quiet, and close to the subway. You can take a short ride or even walk to Namsan Tower. There's no one at check-in, which is actually fine; our room was ready when we arrived. It's a small room, but it was the biggest among all the rooms we stayed in Seoul, with plenty of space for luggage. Downstairs, there's a kitchen where you can cook or make tea. Upstairs, there's a fantastic rooftop observation deck. We even managed to have breakfast there one morning, which was very atmospheric. You need to pick up towels downstairs, but it's not inconvenient at all; you also leave used ones there. There are 24/7 convenience stores nearby. I highly recommend this hotel; it's very cozy and comfortable, perfect for a few days' stay."

"New, clean facilities. A small space but enough for one person. Everything it new so it’s well maintained so far. Bathroom is wet-room style. It seems well managed, though I had no need to contact management but all their after-hours contact information was provided in case you needed it. All the necessary information was provided for check in and check out. Additional tips for travelling to and from the airport were also provided. A small communal kitchen it also available for use with hot and cold water, tea and coffee. Basic cooking facilities are also available. All in all a pleasant stay, thanks."
