Amazing Stay, Amazing Friends

My girlfriend and I stayed at the YaKorea hostel in Hongdae during our first visit to Seoul in June 2018. We found out when we got there that the amenities are shared with the nearby Kimchee Sinchon Guesthouse, which was also where we checked in. The staff were very professional, friendly and even showed us around Hongdae. Akira and Dan were very accommodating and friendly. I would definitely come again and recommend both YaKorea and Kimchee to friends and family. Thank you everyone for showing us such a good time! We made memories we will never forget.

Not so recommended

A very worn out hostel. The room is big but bit smelly. Noisy at night when neighbour talked and laughed loudly after midnight. Not so clean, found hair on the bed. Towels and bed sheets are old. Around 10 mins walk from hongdae exit 4, quite quiet and dark nearby at night.

nice and spacious

Conveniently located near Hongik University station exit 4. Room was spacious and comfortable. There were also a supermarket and a couple of cafes which serve great breakfasts. However, there were a couple of cockroaches in my room (maybe due to construction next door?)

Room can get a bit stuffy unless you open the window But when you open the window is open, cold air comes in Reception staff don't speak English well Able to change towels every day Heating can only be adjusted for the water or floor one at a time ( you either have warm water or a warm floor, but not both at once)

Review

The room was okay and I did enjoy my stay there. However, there wasn't a consistent hot water supply for showers and there isn't a lift, which made getting to my room at the top level a bit troublesome. But overall, not a terrible place to stay. Staff could definitely be a bit friendlier and helpful though.

불친절하고 숙소 그릇에서 머리카락 나옴, 더럽다.. 太脏了，而且服务最差。 这个宿舍真不好， 比如态度， 清洁 还有等等。 不推荐!!! 宁可去朋友的很小家，也不去这个宿舍。 외국사람이니 모른다고 나에게 이해는 요구하면서 불친절하고 비아냥대는 태도에 대해서 전혀 사과는 안함 . 그리고 김치게스트하우스 최악이라는 후기에 여기 호스텔 예약한건데 김치랑 여기랑 같은 것임.
