The place is dirty, AC doesn't work, wifi doesn't work, there's no breakfast obviously, floors/walls of soft plastic, dirty toilet, AC rain outside, the locks don't work, there's bugs and there's no reception. This hostel should be closed down by the city government, Seoul would be better without it and there are legal grounds to do so ##### Max Emil Kjaersgaard Snekloth Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lea May 2, 2024 New furnitures and an update of the bathroom would be necessary. ##### Lea Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Asahi Sep 22, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Dirty, smelly, loud annoying roommates that didn’t let me sleep ##### Asahi Stayed 17 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### NAOKI Jun 28, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I stayed private room. I stayed for 3 nights and found 3 roaches and 1 bug. My body was itchy all the time because of dirty bed. Sound deadening does not exist in this facility. No towel and body soap(just shampoo) No amenities. I will not recommend to stay here. ##### NAOKI Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ella May 2, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities No reception, I went to the wrong hostel (there’s the same one down the street) and wasn’t told there were two different ones! Only way to contact someone was via WhatsApp Wasn’t communicated what room I was in Bed sheets aren’t washed properly, mine were stained and also the towels smelt really bad ##### Ella Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Timmy Sep 10, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The lock to our room didn’t work, so you could just pull the door open even when it was locked. The locks to the bathrooms didn’t work either. The wifi we were supposed to be using did’nt even exist, so we had to use another one from one of the other rooms (every room had its own). There was mould in the aircondition. There were cockroaches in some of the rooms. Sometimes there weren’t any staff at the reception even when there was supposed to be. Information at the hostel told us there would be breakfast, but there was none. Only good thing was a relatively low price and quite centrally placed. ##### Timmy Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### EIHI Jun 24, 2025 ##### EIHI Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### yin yee Mar 27, 2025 ##### yin yee Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Atsuko Dec 31, 2024 ##### Atsuko Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mathilde Nov 3, 2024 Auberge qui fait l’affaire pour quelques jours seulement. Seulement deux wc/salles d’eau pour une dizaine ou quinzaine de chambres…. Dans une ruelle au calme proche de la station Jongno 5 ga (ligne1 du métro de Séoul). Proche du marché avec pas mal de street food et commerçants en tout genre.

Stayed for several days (out of which we stayed two in the hostel the entire day due to having online classes to attend) and didn't see anyone clean any part of the hostel even once, and the bathroom and hallways seemed permanently stained with mud. It also smelled liked cup-ramen in the whole place and me (natural blonde) and my friend (pink haired latina) found black, asian looking hair in one of the beds. Now the place was CHEAP so I wasn't exactly expecting a five star experience, but given that my friend prefered using the public subway bathrooms over the ones in the hostel I think it's fair to be a bit critical. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Sunbee Insadong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Sunbee-Hotel.h5302216.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Seoul.h59029424.Hotel-Information) > > [Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Fraser-Place-Namdaemun.h7090628.Hotel-Information) > > [AMID HOTEL SEOUL](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Center-Mark-Hotel.h5490599.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Josun.h10554498.Hotel-Information) > > [NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONDONG 2](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Nine-Tree-Premier-Hotel-Myeongdong-2.h17447885.Hotel-Information) > > [L7 MYEONGDONG by LOTTE HOTELS](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-L7-Myeongdong-By-LOTTE.h12511672.Hotel-Information) > > [Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Solaria-Nishitetsu-Hotel-Seoul-Myeongdong.h9761216.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Ambassador-Seoul-Myeongdong.h9415452.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Méridien Seoul, Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Seoul.h89303596.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Mercure-Ambassador-Seoul-Hongdae.h50919016.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloft Seoul Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Aloft-Seoul-Myeongdong.h16606220.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Myeongdong Euljiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Travelodge-Myeongdong-Euljiro.h10957081.Hotel-Information) > > [RYSE, Autograph Collection Seoul by Marriott](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-RYSE.h2455064.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Novotel-Ambassador-Seoul-Dongdaemun-Hotels-Residences.h23489421.Hotel-Information) > > [Amanti Hotel Seoul Hongdae](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Amanti-Hotel-Seoul.h15285451.Hotel-Information) > > [G2 Hotel Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-G2-Hotel-Myeongdong.h17918478.Hotel-Information) > > [Orakai Insadong Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Orakai-Insadong-Suites.h9780752.Hotel-Information) > > [Lotte Hotel Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Lotte-Hotel-Seoul.h445260.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Ibis-Ambassador-Seoul-Myeongdong.h1501011.Hotel-Information) > > [Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Shilla-Stay-Seodaemun-Seoul-Station.h9616679.Hotel-Information) > > [NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONDONG 1](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Nine-Tree-Hotel-Myeongdong.h6084370.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cappuccino](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Hotel-Cappuccino.h12385513.Hotel-Information) > > [Josun Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Gangnam](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Josun-Palace.h4871.Hotel-Information) > > [Signiel Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Signiel-Seoul.h18060379.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Seoul.h21727.Hotel-Information) > > [ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-ENA-Suite-Hotel-Namdaemun.h21518483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Josun Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-The-Westin-Josun-Seoul.h24908.Hotel-Information) > > [Glad Mapo](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-GLAD-MAPO.h23043990.Hotel-Information) > > [UH Suite The Jongno](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-UHSuite-Apartment-Myeongdong.h43358413.Hotel-Information)
