Great Hostel

Great hostel for my week in Seoul. The location was very central to many tourist spots and very walkable. The host was kind and provided a nice breakfast each morning consisting of eggs, bread, fruit and juices at no additional cost. The room was a bit small and older, but well within expectations for the price point. I felt safe and would stay again!

하룻밤 자기에 큰 문제는 없었지만... 다음에 또 이용하지는 않을 것 같습니다. 주차가능이라는 표시가 주차비를 내야하는 건지는 몰랐어요. 그렇게 비싸지는 않았지만... 숙박비가 저렴하니 감수해야 하는 거라고 생각하다가도...비슷한 가격에 다른 좋은 곳에 머물렀던 경험이 있어... 몇 자 적습니다.

Great service, great location for a good price

The location could not be better, it’s right at the insadong street. The rooms are in good condition. The room I got even had tv and our own washroom. Cleanness was good for hostel standards. The kitchen might look overwhelming but the breakfast was really good. The owner is a really nice guy and was always making sure people had what they needed

Comfortable, clean and very well situated. The rooms have little extras, like a bedside lamp and multi plug access by the bed, hangers and rail, and it's quite spacious. The surrounding area is charming with a wide selection of restaurants and it's on the doorstep of the city center. I will definitely stay again when in Seoul.

위치가 좋았습니다. 3호선 안국역에서 가까워 대중교통으로 다니기 좋고 경복궁, 운현궁, 북촌은 걸어서 다닐 수 있었습니다 인사동 골목 자락인 것도 좋고요. 호스트께서도 친절하셔서 편히 지냈습니다. 아침도 좋았는데 테이블이 조금 작아 아쉬웠습니다. 다음에도 머물 의향 있습니다.

5泊滞在しました。朝食はサラダがあり、好きなだけ食べれたのでとても良かったです。部屋は4人部屋でしたが、とても狭いです。そして自分だけ良ければいいという人と一緒になり本当に困りました。協調性のない人は個室に宿泊してください。スタッフはとても親切に対応してくれましたが、こういうゲストハウスに泊まる以上、協調性はとても大事です。最も今回のようなトラブルメーカーは初めて出会ったので、アンラッキーでした。その人以外の宿泊客は皆フレンドリーで、ホステルに問題はありませんでした。
