The One Hostel Hongdae in Seoul - Foreigner Only

Good location and cozy. Great directions from staff.

simple breakfast with some toasts not bad, that was enough overall great, pretty cost-efficient guests and staffs are really nice and this hostel was full of french people, which was very interesting

nothing

Location was great. The blonde staff member who checked me in was nice.

This place IS NOT AS PICTURED. It is completely cluttered and a mess those photos do not match. The staff made me very uncomfortable. They all spoke French and just stared at you when you walked in the room. Only 2 bathrooms which were dirty and consistently occupied by staff on their phones not caring about how fast they were. Hard to sleep with squeaky beds and thumping from upstairs. There was a pint of beer sitting on the table in common area with staff all around it for 24 hours without getting rid of it. You couldn’t enjoy common area if you tried bc it was all the staff sitting around. Their clothes and hair products and luggage also all over the common room. I thought the “foreigner only” in name was strange but I think what the really meant was French.

The location of the hostel was very good and central. The hostel is in the middle of the party district, so it can be very loud at night, but the location is unbeatable. The price is very reasonable. Breakfast quite ok

Unfortunately, pictures do not correspond to reality. In the bathroom and also in the dormitory, there is mold on the walls and the air is very stuffy. The bed was also very uncomfortable and the mattress extremely worn out.

Good value for the price

The bathroom shower lacked the hanging thing. You had to hold the shower head
