Great for maybe a night or two!

No elevator. Crowded and cluttered common areas. Slow wifi. No AC, only fan in room 209. Tight and absolutely filthy. I put my hand on the bed to get a feel for the bed and I felt gravel/sand. I wanted to plan ahead by asking about breakfast and self check in. I was asked to wait and that made it difficult for me to make others plan or to simply plan ahead. I was kept waiting for self check in at midnight. Old stale smell in common areas, lobby, room, etc. Staff are either absent or unapproachable. Did not receive a guide to navigating the hostel so I had to ask, "Is there breakfast? Where is the first floor kitchen?" Eventually, I just started to figure it out myself. Not a community vibe in this hostel or area. Very cold and standoffish personalities. Most people here are odd. Unable to look up or say hi while in the same kitchen or hallway or staircase, weird. I'll say hello to acknowledge them and they look me dead in the eyes, stay silent, and look away..??? Would not recommend this hostel unless you are desperate.

Clean and tidy place. Its okay for a few days..

Dirty 🙁

We did not check in at this location. The rooms were noticably dirty and smelly. Insects were visible and sheets were stained. An alternative room had similar problems with smells and cleanliness. Hotel management continues to be evasive and has not responded to Expedia requests for a refund. Will be escalating my complaints.

Stayed in small room in property that includes TV & twin bed. Good for solo traveler. Bathrooms have toilets & showers in same room. Good location about 5 minute walk from subway & airport bus.

Please buy a normal hotel room not this

I am appalled that this property remains open and is even an option for anyone to stay in. To begin with, there were no staff to help us check in or out despite assurances to a 24 hour desk. They lost our booking and insisted it did not exist and forced us to wait in the middle the night despite the booking being confirmed and accurate. When we were finally given a room it was so filthy that we left within 20 minutes and were forced to book a more expensive hotel. Bugs crawling over the floor, clearly unwashed sheets that were strained and had hairs on them, mould on the walls and ceiling fan. There’s budget travel and then there’s this. You don’t get what you pay for. You receive a health hazard. When we left, there was no one at the desk to help us check out and the front door was left wide open.

Very nice for the cost! Inexpensive place to sleep and leave my bags in a central area it was easy to see so much of Seoul. The place was quiet and nothing was too dirty. Would absolutely stay here again!

First, this hotel is hard to find even if you have Google Maps. Then, there is often no front desk staff. Then it is DIRTY. I am actually concerned about whether this place meets fire codes. Here was my big problem: the wifi died in my room. I was told by a staff member that I just had to accept that - people in another room had possibly done something to the router. Because I need wifi for work, I rebooked to another hostel. I expected Hostel Korea to return my fees for the days I did not stay there. They promised wifi, I was told I could not have it, and I had to find a place where I could do work. First a guy agreed in writing to refund my fees, then he refused to pay me. It was crazy. Poor moody guy. So I am assuming that if a person has trouble here, the person will not be helped and if he/she leaves to find a more responsible hostel, the person will not receive a refund even if the owner/manager initially agrees. Furthermore, Expedia will do nothing to help you. So this is it for Expedia. I'll use another service. I know this hostel is cheap and many of us are on a budget, but I do not think it would be wise to go into a dirty place where they may just not help you and you will feel forced to move anyway. Tyere is a really nice hostel called Sunrise Inn Dongdaemun very close by. They will treat you with respect there and it is CLEAN.
