There is plenty of coffee but breakfast is just bread and a lot of choices of spread. Clean facility and available fridge and microwave. Available laundry facilities too. Everything is accessible like convenient store, bus, and subway is close by.

If you are there just to sleep than its perfect, some tenants are really noisy and the walls are too thin, the subway station was really close so that was nice. Overall decent place to stay for the price
Yes Feels like home Super CLean Great Location 7/11 Outside the street Washroom at Kitcken Free washinng Machine Complimentary BreakFast Everthing is perfect Im Planning to Go back again Autumn Season I will Book New Vacation Again 1000/10 Must be recomended ๐จ๐ฆ
A no-frills property, in a great location, that is well run by friendly and accommodating staff. Shared areas are being cleaned regularly and I had no problem spending a few nights there in a solo room and would consider it again for a budget stay.
Aroha is a classic hostel close to Seoul Station. I had a room rather than a dormitory and found it small but quite good. The neighborhood seemed safe. It was quiet and the simple breakfast was adequate for a traveler. The facility is older but well maintained. Internet was excellent. The proprietor, Jay, really cares about his guests and is very hard working. Aroha is located off of a side street and at the end of a short alley. You can see the green Aroha sign from the street. Tip: If you are arriving at Seoul Station, use station exit #12. It will put you on the sidewalk close to a brick walkway which goes up to the street where Aroha is.
Best place to stay in Seoul! The host is very nice, room is very clean and location is the best just few minutes walk to Seoul station. Many cute coffee shops in just few blocks away.
The host was the friendliest and most helpful person I have ever known. He responded quickly to messages, he was always available. He is the best!
The room was quite nice, I had enough space in it. The guesthouse is really close to Seoul Station so it is easy to get anywhere.
Stayed 5 nights. Owner communicates well when you have a question. My room was tiny. There was a table, chair, lamp and a single bed. There was a rack to hang clothes by the foot of the bed, and whats left of the floor space was just enough to open a small-medium suitcase. Location is a
2-3 minute walk to Seoul subway station (Line 4) and 2 stations away and youโre in Myeondong. Maybe 3-4 minutes when going back to the house as its slightly up a slope. 7-eleven is a few steps away.
Cleanliness is okay. Steep and low-ceiling steps to go up and down to the kitchen and common room (located in basement). Breakfast was brewed coffee, juice, teas, toasted bread butter and jam. Water dispenser on all floors. Fresh towels available everyday. Overall for the price i paid , its okay- just remember its a guesthouse not a hotel. But verything you need is there. Iโm happy with it.

Buen lugar, el desayuno un poco simple. El personal muy amable.
Personal super amable, habla muy bien Inglรฉs.
Lo malo son los baรฑos compartidos, pero todo lo demรกs, excelente, ya que tiene espacio compartido para lavar y secar ropa, para comer, ver televisiรณn, usar computadora.
Accueil et service excellents, cuisine pratique, accรจs facile ร la gare et au mรฉtro. Chambre un peu exigue ร 4 et un peu trop chaud pour bien dormir.
