Hostel Korea Original

Cheap. No hassles.

Room could?ve been cleaner. One of the bathroom door handles nearly fell off. Needs some basic maintenance.

they offer free bread and coffee for breakfast, water for daily drink, basic need were provided and that's important for me

i have nothing to say , 8 days stay was such a great experience for me and my family. location is great as well very near to public transport. very safe place.

The location was very central. About 7mins walk to the nearest train station.

The room was very small you can barely open a medium sized luggage on the floor.

I like that the accommodation is complete for all the basic necessities like slippers, blankets, towel. There are showers with heater, that really helped. Thank you

However I just noticed that the accommodation was not that clean. Used mattresses and towels are outside the cabinets and in the lobby, slippers are everywhere. Luggage are so many. Thank you

Amazing location

Linen and towel were dirty. Also also the shower in the bathroom is on top of the toilet. Insane, everything gets wet.

The area doesn’t offer much but is still pretty central and you can access most important locations within 15~30min.

It was extremely dirty. Dead cockroaches in the room (when we arrived), no ac (only a dirty fan), the fridge wasn’t working, the bathroom was covered in mold top to bottom with small cockroaches running all over the door and walls and the smell was horrible. The accommodation was relatively cheap but there should still be a minimum standard. A cockroach infested room and a shower curtain covered in mold is unacceptable even for this price. We informed the accommodation about how dirty it is and nothing was done. Someone removed some of the dead cockroaches inside the room on day 3 but the trash hadn’t been taken out and the bathroom and room were left dirty.

I got get a room at least!there's a grocery nearby

the approach was a bit suspicious and fraudulent in a way since I didn't get exactly the room that I booked. once I arrived, a foreigner staff took me to another location (nearby hostel), however I felt the person wasn't genuine about their identity and the setup. the room was misrely shabby, poorly maintained. bed sheet and mattress were almost not clean, smell of moist was so strong, broken items in the room and unclean common area for the most. location is far from attractions

READ THIS FIRST BEFORE YOU!!! I booked an airconditioned private room for 1 person with refrigerator and private bathroo

Cleanliness ? Big boss ? Staff ? Privacy ? False Advertisement: No airconditioner & refrigerator not working. Room stank of sweat even with the windows open I can still smell it even on the 6th day. I requested room to be cleaned. They just changed the beddings. They didn’t sweep the floor. Glad they emptied the trash.

Location!! You can go anywhere within CBD by Subway and Bus.

Cleanness...

Price, location

It started with the fact that we arrived at the hostel at 13:00, we were told to wait until 16:00 to check in. But we couldn't check in at 16:00 because the staff came up with incomprehensible reasons for this. First they said they had lost the room card, then they said they needed to fix the toilet. We waited for an hour and a half, the staff at the counter changed several times, and most of the time there was no one at the counter at all. As a result, we were told that we would be checked into another hotel and told to wait. We didn't sleep for two days, they didn't give us any information, they gave us some kind of contact on Whatsapp, we sat and waited. As a result, when I started threatening the police, an employee came and settled us in one single and one double room instead of a triple room. The cleanliness leaves much to be desired: dirty bed linen and cockroaches. One of the advantages is the good location: not the center, but close to the metro, there are many shops and cafes nearby, and the cost is the cheapest in the city that we could find.

It's a no frills hostel that gives you a private room in a great location. The bed and room as a solo traveller wasn't uncomfortable. The showers are nice and powerful with instant hot water, but as the showers are also the toilets, it's a little cramped in there. No social interaction going on or partying happening, so great for some peace.

Ask yourself, are you really going to be spending your time in the hostel or mainly out and about?

Booked for 7 nights but ended up staying only for 2. The walls are dirty. There are mold on the windows and in the bathroom. The drain smell of sewage. I had to leave the window open to remove the smell. I do not recommend this place regardless of the price.

The room was not that clean. The toilet has a funky smell. One point the room heating was not working and the other time it was way too hot.

Cheap and near to Tungdaemun

Too dirty and no air-conditioner

location and breakfast

on our first day we are relocated to a different hostel due to defective door and we didn't get the room with private bathroom as booked but we are given refund though

Good location. Laundry, kitchen area are nice. Nice room and big for solo travelers. Staff are nice and they replying in kakao talk if you have concern. No hassle laundry too

Location near station

The room is so crampy and hot like no air circulation

Staff are so supportive and kind

Staff are not available at all time. I had wait 25 min for check in

Very poor

It was February, I was in lobby it was cold at I waiting my car in lobby with a heater, but director of hostel ( or someone-Korean person) came and told me that I can't use heater. Not only this he told me I should go out because I already check out my room!!! So he told me I should take my bag and wait out, and I can't use heater because whether is good!But ! In lobby so cold, I wearing my warm clothes but it is really still cold!Don't recommend this hostel best of bad service for host?

Excellent - with the price that I paid, I absolutely recommend this place for a backpackers or someone who want to travel for self-discovery. The place are quiet and very safe even in the middle night. For my booking, I didn't have a breakfast included but don't worry, there's nearest CU mart at there. Just 5 min walking. The room are nice, with the price that I paid, I didn't expect too much. Just wanna go back to the room and rest after a long journey do sightseeing,

The bed are comfortable but please fix some issues for the double decker. The beds of my room a bit of shaking when I move. And the toilet, please do some deep cleaning sometimes cause I had found 1 small tiny cockroach.
