Da am Hotel was exceptional! Location was just perfect, quiet but very close to the bus stop and to the 2 metro stops. Also very close by the Jongno area which is great for going out. Best part about the location was that the airport shuttle has its stop just 5 mins walks from the hotel. Ticket must be purchased from the airport when coming to Seoul and bought directly from the driver when leaving Seoul. Bus number 6011. In terms of the hotel itself, I have just good words. Very clean, amazing breakfast, amazing staff, very helpful and very polite. There’s a washing machine and a thumble dryer which are feee of charge. Just a very small amount for the washing liquid. It is very quiet, hence I don’t recommend it for people who are looking for parties. Towels are changed every day along with a free bottle of water. There’s also a robe which is provided on the first day. There’s also a rooftop terrace with an amazing view and with a smoking corner. Also, there is a CU store just 1 min walks from the hotel where you can get the Climate Card which is much better than the T Money card.

Hostel with perfect value for money. Very nice hostel in a great location for visiting the city.Clean room with a bathroom with shower inside. Sinchon Metro really close to the property where you can go everywhere. Easy to get to from the airport by train, take the airport railroad which stops at all stations, exit at Hongik University Station and then change to the metro line 2 for one stop and you arrive at Sinchon. Staff of the hostel is very friendly, he wants to know if everything is going well. There is also a television that has the ability to watch YouTube, PrimeVideo etc. Free water dispenser at reception much appreciated where there are also many maps of Seoul and guidebooks. Exceptional value for money.

One of the most beautiful and tranquil hostels I've ever stayed in! The hanok has been completely renovated and was brand new and immaculate when I stayed, if you are into interior design it is heaven! Everything is so chic with beautiful details down to soft lighting, filtered water, bathroom amenities and welcome treats. It felt so much more luxurious than a hostel - surely the best value in Seoul. Highly recommend, especially for women, with great bathrooms and such a welcoming feeling from the hosts in the lovely shared spaces. I would move in here!

It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.

This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
