Ocean's Guesthouse - foreigners only

Great staff, very sociable, good location and price.

Bathrooms a little small

Ostello molto valido. Rapporto qualità prezzo giusto. La ragazza al check in è stata molto disponibile e mi ha spiegato tutto nel dettaglio. Letti comodi e in generale abbastanza pulito. Comodo vicino la fermata della linea 2 e 6 e a pochi passi da Hongdae

I letti non sono forniti di mensole per appoggiare i propri effetti personali. Le stanze non hanno nulla oltre i letti, neanche un armadietto dove riporre le cose. Fuori in corridoio ci sono ma sono molto piccoli. Più pulizia degli spazi comuni.

הצוות בהוסטל ממש טוב וכולם חמודים וחברותיים החדרים גדולים ונוחים וגם השירותים והמקלחת ההוסטל ממוקם במיקום טוב ממש אני ממש ממליצה להגיע

One of the more social hostels in Seoul and quite affordable. It’s in a nice leafy district close to Hongdae.

Very unclean. Very bad smell from the urinals on the 3rd floor. The entire 3rd floor had an awful smell to it. No curtains on the bed (not uncommon for Korea, in fairness). The worst part though is the policy of being told to make your own bed and strip it in the morning. Having stayed in hostels in over 32 countries I have never experienced this (normally I make/strip my bed out of courtesy but not through policy). Much like we all have our jobs at home, we also pay for a service to be provided at a hostel - that service being the provision of a bed. Making this bed should be the role of the hostel and not of the guest who might have just come off a 13 hour flight, or leaving at 5am for a flight, for example. This policy needs changing and is reflected in my review.

I honestly don’t even know how to describe this place properly 🤍 This guesthouse felt more like a home than just a place to stay. Thank you for everything 🫶

Nice staff, clean and nice beds

No bed curtains, small douching spaces with only curtains and only small sinks for the toilets but not really a place for brushing teeth or lenses and that kind of stuf
