“I wouldn’t know from where to start. First of all I stayed here because it was the only and single option I had for this”

I didn’t like. It was the only option I found in this period and I had no idea is so busy in this specific week in Seoul.

Staff were very helpful, great place for the price

Some rooms are not well-kept and dirty. I had to ask to be moved. The manager takes time to respond to inquiries.

“never again”

At check-in, there was a huge confusion. There was no one at the reception, and no one was answering the phone. They only responded to messages in the end. When the receptionist arrived, she didn’t even greet us, just gave us the key card and left. During the next 5 days of our stay, we never saw anyone at the reception. After check-in, two more people knocked on our room door to make sure it was really us, even though the receptionist had already checked us in based on our passports. At 1 AM, it doesn't seem normal to be fixing baseboards in the hallway and making noise. The room was very dirty and showed repeated neglect in cleaning. The bathroom light didn’t work. The shared kitchen was quite disgusting. Despite the low price, this accommodation is definitely not worth it.

“terrible”

The geographical location can also be close to the subway station.

Nothing.

“Good location/ dirty bathroom”

Location is convenient. 5 mins walk to train and bus station. Restaurants and 7/11 nearby. Bed was very comfortable and room was always warm.

“For this kind of money it's passable”

Location is good, near subway and bus stops. Price is cheap.

Nothing makes me comfortable

After reading the hostel reviews, I thought the experience would be worse. It's true that the rooms aren't very clean and there's humidity, but it's bearable for the price. The hostel offers free coffee and hot and cold water. There's also a kitchen and laundry facilities. The location is very close to the metro, and we were given early check-in. At the front desk, Mett was very kind and attentive to our needs. We'll be back when we return to Seoul.

It was not bad, the place is quite and very safe.

“I wouldn't stay again”

Basically unmanned, super humid, and unfortunately a little too dirty. There were hairs on the bed linens and earrings. There was mold on the walls of the bathroom. The kitchen was super dirty as well Our room didn't have heater and our request was neglected and ignored. When we arrived we were transferred to a twin room with the promise of giving us a double(as we paid for in advance) the next day. That didn't happen. Only two nights later with our insistence. And the room that was given to us was also dirty and humid

“You get what you pay for”

I am not going to lie, before landing in Seoul, I was biting my nails for several weeks after having read some of the reviews here, and I will not be sugar coating -- the reviews are all more or less true. However, after staying 5 nights in Hostel Seoul, I remind myself that you cannot get anything for this price or even double the price in Seoul. So, you really get what you pay for, and all things considered, if you have set yourself low expectations (again, think about the price), the place is really not that bad. Yes, it could be cleaner. True, the floor and the carpet could be neater. However, it is a place that offers you shelter and offers you some perks, such as a washing machine and a drier, which are both free to use. And the location could not be much better either. If I were to go purely by the tidiness of the place and the quality of the facilities, I'd probably rate it a 2, but definitely no more than 3. However, if you look at the context and the price, I would have to rate it higher than that.
