You get what you pay for! Tiny room without AC, but clean and cheap. This is probably as good as a hostel gets and I learned that they are not for me. A private bathroom and AC are worth the extra money for me, but if you're okay without then this would be incredible. 😊

I thought the place looks okay, the room is very small, the man working in the front desk was Not very kind when you ask him for help, especially when you interrupt him while he is in front of a computer. I asked him for an eye solution because my eye was irritated and red, he was like slamming things around looking for the solution. When I told him, "it's okay never mind", he rudely slides the window door closed that almost pinch my arm. My first time here in S. Korea and in this hostel, I am very disappointed!!!

Rooms very small. Toilet dirty and smelly. For those going for budget trip I think there is better place than this.

A quite promising budget hostel (opened in 2016). At its price you get a private modest size room with 2 beds (not bunkbeds) a mini ref tv wifi fan aircon in a quiet portion of the neighborhood and 300 meters away from Sinseol-Dong train station. And free basic breakfast. And cheap pocket wifi rental.
There are a few temporary kinks but nothing that can't be remedied: (1) aircon occasionally gets warm middle of the night (something about the self-regulating thermostat) good thing an electric fan is on standby. (2) common-shared toilet cum shower (3 cubicles) can get untidy depending on the user habits. As it turns out, the cleaning staff is on sick leave. The OWNER JAMES and assistant CINDY just have their hands full (start-up business).
All said, the benefits outweigh the little temporary discomforts and this is one place we have high hopes for and will come back to. COMPLIMENTS TO HOSTEL KOREA!response / report this review -

Hostel Korea was a neat find for me. I needed a place for a night in Seoul and came across the hostel via airbnb. It was about $20 for a single bed room not shared. However, when I got there they had run out of single beds and offered to bump me up to a double free of charge! Awesome gesture. I ended up needing to wait about an hour for the double bed room to be cleaned so they offered me a bunk room while I waited. I ended up just going up the street and eating for an hour and came back to a bigger bed. The rooms are small and quite basic, but I'm used to it traveling around Asia. I would have given the place five stars for the upgrade and private room for the same price as a dorm bed, but I docked them a star due to privacy issues. The staff should really knock and wait a bit before opening the door. This happened on multiple occasions, and the staff was just opening doors checking for an empty room for me without really waiting after the knock. In the morning, again, I heard a knock and answered, but the staff member opened the door before really waiting. I was shaving before leaving so nothing came about, but I could see how this is a total intrusion of privacy. What if it was a girl changing? Anyway, I only docked one star instead of two due to the front desk guy being helpful. Overall, a decent find! Just need to retrain staff on privacy. Thanks for reading!

A clean and decent place to stay in Seoul when you're working on a budget. The room we booked was small good for 2 persons generally, but we added a bed. It has a bunk bed, blower, small TV, own bathroom, and towels that can be requested from the reception. They also have free internet access in all rooms and the connection was fast. There's just no free toiletries, and if you want to avail, they offer it in the reception for a minimal fee. The booking comes with a breakfast consists of bread, cookies, coffee or tea, milk or juice, which was served in the common kitchen area. Just manage your expectation cause this is a budget hostel. All in all, the experience was good.

État insalubre. Douche à l'intérieur des WC, du jamais vu. Je demande à être remboursé et le réceptionniste me sort les conditions générales de ventes imprimé sur A4 que j'ai jamais signé ni vu ni approuvé avant de prendre le séjour, pour me dire que c'est pas possible d'être remboursé. À éviter de tout urgence.

Near local attractions. Bus stop and subway station at a walking distance making it easy to commute using public transportations.

I stayed here for 5 weeks, and I really enjoyed it. The staff is really friendly and ready to assist you when needed. They also made a party one of the nights for guests. the single room was the big enough. however the star of the hostel I would say that it is the kitchen. IcookeIt was well equipped and by cooking there I save lot of money

Pretty ok. Three floors, no elevator. In a residential area. If you can, go to the 창덕궁 venue instead- they have much more amenities and is much newer.
