"Staff, location and value for money. As long as you know what you book this is a perfect place to stay in Seoul. It’s more like an upgrade hostel than a hotel without the young party stuff. The rooms are small but nice. The staffs are really helpful and nice people. We had been on a long summer holiday around Asia and this was our last stay and hotel.

"I had a great stay at Loft13 Hostel! It was an excellent value for the price. The hostel was very clean, and everything was well maintained. The highlight of my stay was definitely the staff—they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything I needed. I also really appreciated having access to the washer and dryer, which was so convenient during my trip. As a bonus, the city views from the windows were beautiful, especially at night. I would definitely stay here...

K-Grand Hostel Sinchon

Amanti Hotel Seoul Hongdae

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms and great staff. Breakfast had nice options. The staff help us to recover some loss item from one place we visited out of town. The hotel is very quiet and beds are very comfortable."

SR Compact Hotel Sinchon

8/10 Good

"It was hard to find with google maps (of course this isn't the hotel's fault it's just how it is in Korea), so make sure you have naver installed when you arrive to make navigation easier. The lack of a physical front desk was inconvenient at times, such as when I first arrived and the room wifi, tv, etc weren't working; but overall the staff were helpful and hardworking so in the end it wasn't too much of an issue. There was only one washer and one drier for laundry so sometimes had to wait, but they worked well and were free. The location is very close to the metro station which was convenient. All necessities (groceries, pharmacy, convenience stores, cafes/restaurants, etc) are plentiful within walking distance."

KOZAYO Hongdae Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were great, especially when my flight got cancelled and needed to book 2 more nights. The rooms are small and separated by curtains, but it is very quiet, clean, and cozy. The breakfast is simple but good! The hostel is right in the center of Hongdae so you can step out the front door and go wherever you like! I had an amazing time here. Thank you KAZAYO for making my first trip to Korea memorable <3."
