Seoul Hostels

Pros: the location is more than perfect and they clean EVERYDAY. it stayed there for 3 weeks and the bathroom was spotless everyday, the change the sheets and get you clean towels everyday. They room never felt stuffy or humid, the A.C. is powerful so I was ok. im for sure coming back.

Cons: the small fridge in the room was not really working and smelt like beer, so we didn't feel like putting the food in there, but it was propably just my room. If you are in a hurry to go some were make sure you make some extra time because the elevator is always busy because there are restaurants and other business in the building.

Pros: I was welcomed with accommodating staff. I really appreciate that they can speak english.

Cons: I forgot to not trust Google maps when in the city. Location was indeed good. Easy access for transport and establishments and especially the market.

Pros: The staff was helpful and very kind, they speak really good English. The room was spotless, we could have choosen when we wanted to have our room cleaned, there were unlimited coffee, tea and water. Also, the hotel is located at the one of the best, unique districts of the city, nearest subway stations are about 300 metres on foot. The are numerous shops and street food places just behind the corner, where, especially at the evening, the crowds of both tourists and locals are just wandering around looking for some food/clothes/cosmetics which is really great opportunity to feel the real atmosphere of the capital city.

Cons: Well, the only thing I can mention is the monotonous set of meals for breakfast. We've been staying for two weeks and there was always the same food to eat. The lack of any vegetables or fruits was noticeable.

Pros: I really enjoy at this place that i stayed there for a week. The staff was great and help immediatly if i had a problem in the room. The key is a card and i prefer that one. They bring you big towels and the hotel is in the middle of Myeondong, 5 min walk from line 4

Overall I had a truly wonderful experience in the short time I was in Seoul and having a nice hostel to stay really contributed to that.

Cons: One of the sinks was broken in the bathroom and all the water in the drain came out at the bottom. There was another shower drain where the water could then seep in to but it was still unpleasant if you just brushed your teeth to have it run between your feet. Also it is obviously not a hotel but a hostel, so sometimes there are other guests in your room that snore but that is not something the hostel can do anything about

Cons: so many female bathrooms and only 2 male one's

Pros: Less than 1 min walk from Chungjeongno exit 3. Right when you exit look to your left, when you see Can Do Business center walk toward that way. Guesthouse will be right there if you walk to the other side, if you follow map it will be about 3mins walk. If you're coming from Incheon Airport, there will be 1 metro transfer and a lot of walking up the stairs. There are locker in your room, water and hang out spot in the basement. Safe for solo female traveler.

Pros: For the price, you cannot complain. It's not the most luxurious place in the world but, for that price, it is absolutely fine. Good location to explore the city, metro stop very close by and metro is super cheap.

Cons: Two improvements for me. 1 - toilets are very cramped and I didn't like the showers being together, you didn't get much privacy. 2 - the electronic locks on the dorm doors are very noisy. You dont get woken up by people, you get woken up by the beeping of the locks

Pros: The place was clean, friendly staff a few minutes walk to train station. Overall a good location. Also, the room layout was interesting and awesome.

Pros: As mentioned above.

Cons: i didnt like d female receptionist i met on June 9 to be exact. She was a stone cold and rude person. She showed much inflexibility and poor customer service by not at least making me feel comfortable despite my early check in. i paid in advance and d least she could do was to try to let me in 15mins earlier as i was really exhausted otherwise she could politely tell me not possible. She was not even smiling and the tone of her voice was really authoritative. Bathroom stinks big time and there are mosquitoes. Breakfast was all about cheap bread and cereals that didnt even have a single spoon. No proper towels. No proper instructions which juice or milk we can touch so no one is touching either of the joice ir milk. The reception is often unattended on late night hours in d last two nights i stayed. There was this korean guy and korean lady with the long hair that i liked the most - very polite and accommodating... i wish that girl seated on that 9th of June be disciplined.
