Hostel Seoul

They denied my booking

i choose room with a bathroom..so more comfortable

1.internet cannot connect to the upper level...only at the front desk.. 2.the stairs too narrow who brought luggage upstairs 3.please give guest a clean n fresh towel

Walkable distance to nearest subway and bus stop.

We checked in around 5pm, no staff on sight. Have to call different number/contact through Booking.com a few time. Toilet was smelly, the water taste weird. A/C not functioning well, lowest was 18 degree but still not helping during the summer. Stains in bedsheet and towel looks like it never washed properly. Will not repeat.

真的很髒

駅から近くて、周りに飲食店も多い

①清掃が行き届いていないため、清潔感は感じられなかった②枕に黄色い染みが付いているし、匂いも臭かったので、使う気になれなかった

The room was well-ventilated with air-conditioning and it felt less sweltering unlike the single rooms in Hostel Korea, run by the same management. The check-in process was a simple self-check-in process but could be earlier in the extreme heat of Korea.

The laundry facilities were not decent enough.

员工还算亲切 有露天阳台 卫生间也还算干净

设施 冰箱坏的也不太干净 里面也没有备上饮用水 一进屋一股臭味 发现是被子的味道 不知道是没洗还是只是简单过了一下水 很艰难的在里面睡了一晚

Ok

Cheap

It can be better if they do some maintenance

Nulla

La camere vecchia e con odore sgradevole . La biancheria da letto aveva un odore strano come se non fosse stata lavata e pareti con la muffa per l'umiditá . La Notte non ho dormito perché c'era un rumore continuo e meccanico proveniente dalle pareti , e sono stato morso dalle zanzare che non si sa come continuavano a moltiplicarsi . Gli spazi comuni/cucina sono praticamente inesistenti

좋았던 점 없습니다.

우선, 체크인 하러 갔는데 연락 자체가 되질 않아서 체크인 하지 못하고, 예약 취소했습니다. 돈 아끼려고 해당 숙소 가지 마시고, 몇 만원 더 투자하셔서 다른 숙소 알아보세요. 유럽, 북미, 심지어 남미까지 여행을 했지만 이런 최악의 숙소 경험을 한국에서 하게 될 지 상상도 못했네요. 여기 부킹닷컴 고객 서비스팀 직원분이 대신 제게 사과하셨을 정도로 비상식적인 숙소입니다. 꼭 참고하세요 (좋은 글만 리뷰 남기는 사람이 도저히 용납되지 않아 작성하는 비추천 후기입니다).

タオルと歯ブラシがあった

シャワーの水圧低い 浴室汚い トイレ流れ悪い 虫がいる シーツが汚い 夕方（17時過ぎ）に行ったがカウンターにスタッフがおらずチェックインがわかりにくい スタッフいないのはあり得ない！！

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.

The property needs massive maintenance and repairs snd recondition.

Location is good (metro station near)

員工友善，位置四通八達去哪裡都算方便，但不在鬧區晚上很無聊

被子超悶半夜會悶出汗 不蓋又會冷 開冷氣電熱毯都無法平衡這種極端溫度差

服務不錯

太老舊

駅もコンビニも近いし、毎回利用させてもらってます！ アクセスが良くて、スタッフさんも感じ良かったですお

Each room has its own bathroom with a shower which was very nice and it also came with a fridge and 2 seated desks.

There was a pretty decent mosquito issue and I am unsure when the rooms are cleaned between visitors as I had a large spider’s web and spider next to my bed and there was a dark hair under the comforter.

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.

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.

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

The room environment is very poor, and the landlord's front desk service is not timely, which is very bad and affects the trip.

We knew that we were booking a CHEAP room, so we managed our expectations based on that (we paid $23/night for the stay). It was awesome to have a private bathroom (toilet, sink, and shower) in our room. The floor was heated, so that was cozy. There was an a/c unit, but we did not turn it on, so cannot speak to that. It is close to a major train station, so it worked well as a home base for our trip to Seoul. You get what you pay for; expect a cheap stay and you'll be alright.

A couple of things were disappointing with our stay. First, on arrival, the sheets on the bed were dirty (hair and sticky spots in the sheets). They did change our sheets halfway through our stay and they were clean after that. Second, our room had less than half a roll of toilet paper when we arrived. We asked for more on the second day (messaged the hosts and they said they would bring more), but it never arrived; we ended up buying some. Third, there were some bugs (not bedbugs) in the room. This was not a huge concern for us as we knew it was a budget hostel, but I know some people would be bothered by this.

Nothing.

everything.

Nothing

Everything.

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.

Bathroom mouldy and smelly, very disgusting they left rubbish in the bin and used soap from previous guest. Long wait time for the key at 1 am in a very cold night.

Struttura come da descrizione e posizione comoda. Reception disponibile e cortese.

Stanza un po’ piccola ma conforme alla descrizione. Rapporto qualità/prezzo giusto

位置方便，設施齊全。

晚上有點亮，要是有窗簾就好了。

Mould , lots of it , in the badroom , bathroom and toilets . The Tap is heaily leaking . The room smells horrible due to the mould

Nothing

Choose another place. This place needs urgent renovation. The room is damaged, holes in walls, not clean, you can see hair on the floor and a lot of mosquitos inside. No staff inside, you talk on phone with several different persons and nobody knows anything. Not worth it.

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

MOLD EVERYWHERE

없음

결제만하고 15분만에 퇴실..

La posizione

Sporcizia scarafaggi mille piedi sui muri, cattivo odore

駅から近く、24時間営業のコンビニもあるので、本当に助かりました！施設は木造の階段や、懐かしい感じで、部屋も広くはないけど、必要な物は揃ってたので、全然困りませんでした

掛け布団のニオイが気になりました！

👍👌

It was fine. Tiny rooftop room. Great location

Nothing

Spokojna okolica, czajnik, obecność pralni

Czystość pozostawia bardzo wiele do życzenia, w pokoju zaduch i pleśń. Prześcieradło brudne, pokój wygląda na nie dokładnie wysprzątany. Poza tym brak nawet okna. Zasięg wifi nie sięga pokojom na dachu. W pokojach na dachu było słychać każde słowo osób które siedziały przy stolikach. Obsługa nie mówi nawet dzień dobry, pojawia się na hulajnogach i za chwilę odjeżdża. W 2022 hostel spełnił moje oczekiwania, więc i tym razem się do niego wybrałam. Nie wiem co poszło nie tak przez ostatnie 3 lata, ale nigdy więcej. Jedyny plus to cena. Przydałby się remont i odświeżenie.

Nothing makes me comfortable

There were so many cockroaches, and the place was extremely dirty and uncomfortable. Never again! If you’re reading this, please don’t choose this hostel. I booked it for 6 days but could only stay 3 — those three days were a nightmare. It smelled disgusting, and even after I complained, they still haven’t given me a refund

Nothing

It was horrible, we booked one place and they overbooked so we went to a different hostel down the road. Much much worse conditions. Mould everywhere

Sauf le monsieur qu'il a la réception il et gentil ، l'hôtel en mavaise situation ( côté chambre) non commente par rapport le prix ,on dirait on et pas a Séoul...même il y a pas de l'eau au réfrigérateur comme les autres hostel , vraiment catastrophique quel mauvaise odeur a la chambre on peut pas dormir la nuit on et mal a la tête, on a check out a 8:55 a cause de l'oudeur 2/10 juste pour la gentillesse de la reseptioniste

Côté hygiène c'est catastrophique

Tiene habitaciones individuales

Mucha humedad, baño muy pequeño y con mala ventilación para la humedad, moo en la puerta que lo separa de la habitación.

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

Nobody shows you around the facility.

It was a cheap room. So glad I was able to secure a private room, which did have access to private bathroom, hot water, and mini fridge. Washing machine to use for very reasonable price. Also, staff was able to help me change my room from ground level to rooftop.

First off - I communicated through the Booking portal to inform Hostel Seoul of my arrival time, but no one was at reception when I arrived. I messaged the hostel multiple times letting them know I was there, waiting to check-in; no response. I waited 2 hours until another guest was able to contact the manager - immediate response was complaint that I did not pay for room yet (*this tells me they don't care about service, manager just wants money*). I told them I would like to see my room first, then I would pay. First room had a hole in the ceiling bigger that my fist that I sort of plugged with cardboard and tape, just to keep anything out. The second room had very low ceiling throughout (*I kept hitting my head on light fixtures*), and bathroom had black mold EVERYWHERE (*ceiling, sink, and even around bottom of toilet🤢*); a little bit of mold even inside mini fridge. I asked for cleaning supplies so I could clean myself, but a staff member just advised I leave the bathroom door open. She said management has been told about this problem but refuses to do anything about it. And finally, bed not comfortable in either room; like hundreds of guests had already slept right in middle of bed, creating a sinking feeling. I removed the pillow cases just to check condition of pillows -- disgusting!!! I ended up sleeping on top of blankets, using bath towels to cover up and rolled up as a pillow (*I figured - at least these get washed*). I just decided to "tough it out" for just a few days because it was a cheap room. I feel bad for anyone who had to share rooms.

Location was good to access big attractions and public transportation.

Very loud at night time as it was located next to a main road. Staff was not there all the time, which was not convenient and they were not friendly.

Good enough for budget traveller, you can stay in seoul with low price, it has private bathroom too with water heater, and also tv, small refrigrator and free water to drink, you can also use washing machine there,

I got room in front of kitchen or laundry room, and its so noisy, dont expect anything from cleaness, for advise.. its better to bring your own towel and bed cover, also slipper

👎

Service so bad

Cleanliness needs to be improved. The staff were kind and helpful

My check in date is march 31 and staff reply on the morning around 10am. I'm was there around 6am and they reply 10am. So i waited for almost 4hrs before i check in.

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

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.

Facilities need improvement (walls, ceilings, floors - pretty much everything, haha). Whilst I did not mind not having reception available, others may have different requirements, so this is something to be considered.

The location was near the subway, and the station was close to downtown

The room really needs maintenance. The bathroom was also very dirty, and the towels… oh wow. They had a piss smell we just couldn’t use them, and again they were dirty. We had to buy a new towel at Daiso to dry after the showers. The bed had hairs and a yellowish color, seemed they didnt washed the sheets. It was really uncomfortable and disgusting staying there

Complete

The rook quite messy & the carpet is not clean enough maybe can change into the new one next time

Private room at the rooftop. Washing and drying machine available

No instructions to check in. Waited for more than an hour for the key.

This was a horrible experience. The room was filled with black mold. There is no staff on site at all and their response time is abysmal. I ended up leaving within minutes and booking another hostel. I am currently trying to get a refund and they are being horrible in this process as well.

Very good

Nothing

They were helpful and answered any questions i had.

I believe the pictures posted are a bit outdated... It was not very clean and the mouldiness was quite concerning...
