Guest Reviews

• Yuhan (8/5): -
• XING (6/5): - You can adjust the bed angle. The bed is very comfy. The staff are nice. The location is good. The shower/bathroom and the sleeping area are at the same level and there are no doors to separate them out. During the night, you can keep hearing people walking, packing and going to the bathrooms or shower place. It would be nicer if they separate the shower/bathroom area and the sleeping area. Also, it would be nicer if the sleeping area have less than 8 people. There is one night that I couldn't sleep because people are doing the packing and talking at night till 1-2 am....
• Isabella (10/5): - I liked how solo travel friendly it is especially for women as it has separate floors. i didn’t feel uncomfortable at all and the bed was super comfortable. the staff were also very nice and friendly. it’s also a very convenient place as it’s just a block away from hongdae shopping street.
• PEI YU (8/5): 位置不錯、員工都很友善、英文沒問題👍，廁所比較狹小、淋浴間排水不好會淹到浴室外面不太方便 - 床比較大、很舒服 淋浴排水不佳導致走道積水
• Madison (10/5): Better than expected and is easily the cleanest hostel I’ve stayed in. - The bed was private, and the facilities were very clean.
• YIROU (7/5): -
• Anna (9/5): Would stay again! - Amazing location! Loved the area. Quiet and private too. No windows so you won’t wake to natural light. Staff will try to charge you to hold bag past 2 pm after check out.
• Philomène (8/5): Très bien - Localisation top, bâtiment calme et bien insonorisé. Literie confortable, douches/toilettes propres. Seulement 2 toilettes à mon étage pour une quarantaine de lits, pas de coffre-fort ou autre espace pour sécuriser certaines de nos affaires, bruit redondant à côté du lit 424 qui devient agaçant à la longue comme une espèce de sonnerie qui se déclenche régulièrement.
• İrem (8/5): Great for sleeping! - Location was perfect. It was very central, yet very quiet. My bed was queen size, it wasn’t claustrophobic at all, it was very comfortable and clean. If you are just looking for a place to sleep, I definitely recommend here. Breakfast was very simple, it could be better.
• Li Yuan (6/5): pleasant for short term stay. - appreciate the thoughtful front desk staff for helping me with my luggage and allowing me to store luggage there on the day i checked out! Some showerheads were not working well and the drainage in one of the showers was not working. Insufficient toilets on the floor as well, as I was in a hurry one day and other occupants were just changing/taking their time in the toilet.
• Mathilde (7/5): - Location is ideal and the bed was comfortable. I could hear (and smell) everything coming from the bathroom all night. I also think no coffee at breakfast is a little stingy.
• 蕙瑄 (7/5): - 離弘大步行街有一點點距離但不是太遠,要逛街也蠻適合,整體環境也蠻乾淨,床睡起來也很舒服. 床有點高(可能是為了要放行李),長的不高的話會蠻辛苦的.只有用簾子遮著,如果對聲音敏感的話要考慮一下.
• Chiu-Line (10/5): 感謝櫃檯的耐心講解😊願意為隔日要早起趕飛機的我準備早餐。宿舍一樓是傳統韓式料理餐廳，讓晚歸的我能享有一份熱食當宵夜（好吃）。隔壁是整棟的Olive young，離弘大主街道極近，離地鐵也不遠。 - 櫃檯人員的耐心和親切🥰 浴室地板的頭髮量。 廁所較窄，但算乾淨。
• IMIAO (5/5): -
• Jessica (10/5): Staff, breakfast and location was all ideal for a solo traveler!! Highly recommend! - location was awesome Nothing
• Katherine (8/5): - Love the style of the dorms, felt private. No lockers for luggage
• Elif Pınar (10/5): Temiz, uygun fiyatlı, harika - Çok temiz, çok düzenli, kuralları belli ve resepsiyon çok yardımcı. Hersey mükemmeldi.
• pei shan (10/5): -
• Cristina (10/5): -
• Janneke (10/5): -
• Hon Man (10/5): Everything is great, the beds are comfortable, the reception staffs are really really really nice! - Everything is great The bathrooms and toilets are a little bit small?
• Izela (10/5): 10/10 - I loved the location and cleanliness. First time ever staying in hostel and it was capsule style , near the clubs in hongdae and staff was very nice. Not a social hostel at all which was fine by me. Very quiet as there is a no talking on phone policy. Showers were nice and there was no wait for restroom. Terrace is nice as well. Stayed in a queen size bed and it felt like a private room. Full sized mirror by bed. Laundry available . Beautiful lounge to relax and unwind. Near convenience store. 10 min walk away from the arex station but 3 mins away from bus stop. At times there was noise due to neighbors moving around but that’s expected for a hostel Nothing 10 min walk from arex station !

• HUNG CHIEN (4/5): 出於安全考量，下次不會再考慮這間住宿 - 工作人員很友善 1. 我的床位斜對面是緊急逃生門，外面直接通到馬路上，有好幾次早上起床發現門被開著（地板上還有東西防止門關上，感覺是員工可以打開的）我的床就這樣直直通到馬路上，但那時候也不是打掃時間，整個覺得超級危險⚠️ 2. 廁所水壓不穩且沒有垃圾桶，很多人把垃圾丟在洗手台上，環境髒亂
• Cheng Hsien (10/5): 位置非常優越，1分鐘抵達弘大逛街鬧區。工作人員英文溝通非常流暢，講解也非常仔細。雖然只是類似膠囊的房型，但個人空間非常足夠，床也非常舒適。 - 地點，工作人員，環境與照片相符 沒有

• Ariana (9/5): -
• Sebastian (9/5): - Simple but sufficient breakfast. Nice stay in small capsula like beds. Basically directly at Hondae street, so very lively neighborhood, but rooms are very quiet.
• jieun (5/5): - 객실에서 출구랑 화장실 찾기가 어렵더라고요 안내도가 있는지 모르겠지만 벽면에 위치나 방향 표시가 있었음 좋겠고 세면대하고 샤워실이 붙어있으니 통로에 물이 고여있으니 몇 번 넘어질 뻔 했고, 샤워실에 배수구가 너무 작아서 물이 잘 안내려 가요드라이기 통이 세면대 밑에 있으니 가끔 콘센트에 물이 있는 경우도 있고요 이어캡 구비해주셨는데 비닐이 안찢어져요 차라리 OPP봉투에 넣어주시는게 나을듯 수건은 여유분 두장이였음 좋겠습니다.

• Angie (7/5): Would come back for just a night at a time. - Flexibility and caring for the customers at check in. Great and fast communication. Good pricing too for 10/10 location. I like the fact that there's a mirror. The shades (door) a little loud, and doesn’t cover privacy at 100%. Velvet curtains and would be so much better. Lighting is poor, doesn't dim. Sheets feel cheap and are noisy.
• Angie (5/5): Good place for one night only if you are partying in Hongdae - Location was excellent, breakfast included, friendly staff, under bed storage. Im ok with paying a few extra dollars if you can provide a larger towel than a face towel for my shower. I had stayed in another Millenial/Kozayo version where the sheets were far superior in quality for the same price. The sheets here are the noisy cheap kind, and not much air circulation, the sheets made it even warmer inside the cube. The privacy shade was about an inch gap on each side, which made me want to keep the lights off for the lack of privacy. I didn’t like that there’s not a dimming option for the lighting.
• Michiel (8/5): -
• Peter (10/5): -
• Romane (10/5): -
• Chu (10/5): Awesome place for traveling alone - Staff are kind and friendly, they'll offer some amenities in the first day, common room is bright and spacious, 5 mins walk to Hongik university, 10mins walk to Hongik university station, 1 mins walk to Olive Young, there's a CU beside OY, which has wowpass machine, prices is really cheap None
• LOK YIU (7/5): -
• Juan (8/5): Super Personal Super Lage - Das Personal war super freundlich und hat mit allem geholfen. Auch die Lage ist sehr gut man kann eigentlich überall hin wo man hin will. Uber kommt auch direkt vor die Haustür. Die duschen und das Klo könnten ein bisschen bessere Qualität sein.
• Salem (10/5): -
• QinAi (6/5): -
• An Yi (9/5): -
• Marcio (8/5): - Boa localização, atendimento e cama Pior banheiro que já conheci. Sujo, frio e desconfortável.
• Ricardo (10/5): -
• 쿠수 (10/5): - 직원이 친절하고 시설도 좋아요 위치도 관광객이라면 근처에 올리브영 편의점 홍대 중심가여서 접근성이 정말 좋습니다
• Chunkai (7/5): - 床很舒服 週邊環境酒吧較多晚上回住宿地比較擔心 還有廁所太擠
• Omri (5/5): -
• SHAO MIN (8/5): 整體而言8/10，真的是除了地點以外沒有什麼其他的缺點。 - 有提供耳塞，還有超級舒服的床！ 床的角度還可以自己調整，非常舒服好睡！ 地點很不方便，相較其他鄰近於地鐵站口的住宿來說，此住宿太遠了，路上還會遇到階梯，對扛著大行李的旅客來說會是一大挑戰
• Jeppe (9/5): Solorejsende, rent, tilpas placering, roligt - De gode senge, den gode placering Manglende skabe til at låse sine ting inde
• Hoon (8/5): 잘 지냈습니다. - 생각보다 깔끔했어요. 가성비는 좋아요. 새벽에도 많이 움직이는 분들이 있어서 10번은 깻어요.;;; 앞에 문이 있으면 좋겠다는 생각을 했네요. 화장실에서 냄새가 좀 많이 납니다. 조금 더 신경 써 주세요.
• Amy (10/5): -
• Kyung Heui (10/5): 서울에 온다면 강추합니다. - 정말 좋은 위치에 있습니다. 시설은 아주 청결하고 직원은 친절합니다. 놀라운 가격입니다. 주변에 맛있고 유명한 식당이 너무 많아요. 아침에 알람 맞춰두고 못 일어나는 사람이 있어 일찍 일어난 것 외에는 모두 만족합니다. 부킹닷컴엔 사물함이 있다고 했는데 사물함은 없었지만 선반이 있어 전혀 불편하지 않았어요. 가장 좋은 점은 리클라이너 침대의 질이 너무 좋아서 꿀잠 잤어요. 카페에는 투숙객 할인이 있어요. 화장실이 좁아요. 문이 밖으로 열리면 좋겠어요.

• 子綾 (7/5): - 床鋪很舒服 整潔乾淨 飯店地理位置非常好 喜歡洗熱水澡的要注意！熱水蠻忽冷忽熱的 熱水相當不穩定 全部淋浴間都有這個問題

• 余 (9/5): -
• Tanisha (10/5): - Had a really nice stay at this hostel, all of the staff were so lovely and friendly, always willing to help, the beds were comfortable, the showers and toilets always clean, the only thing it lacked was any atmosphere to socialise, otherwise a really great location and extremely central in Hongdae.
• Hunter (10/5): - Kozayo is a hostel located above their cafe of the same name. Despite being RIGHT next to the hot party area of the legendary Hongdae district, the rooms were exceptionally quiet besides the occasional shuffling of my roommates. Be forewarned that there is a security deposit for the capsule remote (at the time 100K won). There is a small towel provided, roughly about 5~6 shower stalls per floor, and 4 toilets if i remember right. The bathroom with a toilet is a bit small, so if you're very tall or wide you may find it a bit awkward to scooch in. These are minor nitpicks however and if youre looking to be right next to the party action i can think of few better options. No major complaints.
• Li (10/5): - 这是我住过最舒适的青旅了，空间很宽敞，床很舒服，可以升降。前台工作人员非常热情友善，英语流利，有一位会讲中文。下次来首尔还会选择住在这里。
• Enming (8/5): -
• Mathis (10/5): - La gentillesse du personnel, qui s'efforce à fournir le meilleur pour les clients L'hôtel est tout équipé, avec le petit déjeuner de 8 h 30 à 10 h 30. Le personnel est vraiment super gentil et attentionné. On peut y faire son linge, machine + sèche linge à 10000 wons: on a juste à donner son sac de linge sale et on a en retour après 4 h notre sac de linge propre et sec !
• YI-MIN (9/5): 有制度的青年旅館，入住時需付保證金10萬韓幣押金，退房時歸還。離弘大站走8分鐘，2樓是咖啡廳可以使用 - 旁邊就是三層樓的Olive young，採買很方便。 進出電梯與住宿都需要掃描QR code具有安全性。 附早餐有吐司、牛奶、麥片、雞蛋，自行取用 床可調整高度，可取代枕頭的高度 Check-in跟Check out的櫃檯在2樓（沒電梯到這層），需拿行李箱，但員工人很好，看到會幫忙提。 床架較高，如果小個子可能不方便爬上去。 廁所的空間很小，進出開關門很卡。 房間的開關燈位置比較裡面，需要爬上床才按得到。
• Tsitsi (10/5): -
• Chia Ying (10/5): -
• Shaun (10/5): - The staff are amazingly helpful. ‘Panda’ is an amazing guy, so welcoming and helpful, the staff can’t do enough for you. The cafe serves fantastic coffee and has free breakfast in the morning . For those of you from NYC , things start late here , Starbucks doesn’t ope until 8.30am. The beds are super comfortable. One thing that will Surprise you if you are familiar with European hostels is that this one has no where to lock your things away . I think if they can improve anything it’s to have some lockers .
• FUJIWARA (8/5): -
• Enzo (6/5): Plus hotel que hostel, je ne recommande pas - les + = extrêmement bien placé, petit déjeuner inclus, rooftop agréable, bon wifi, shampoing et gel douche fournis ainsi qu'une serviette. Personnel sympathique. Chambre avec lumière, rideau et prise pour charger. les - = grosse caution demandée (100 000Wons), prix de la nuit assez élevé, aucune ambiance hostel, j'ai été déçu car je pensais que vu la position géographique dans la ville cela serait parfait mais très calme, impossible de sociabiliser, manque de papier toilette dans les WC, pression de la douche à revoir.
• JUNG YU (10/5): 此趟去韓國遇到最棒的服務人員，真的非常友善，體驗很好！！ - 員工服務
• Miguel (10/5): -
• CHIA SHAN (7/5): - The location is excellent — just about a 10-minute walk from Exit 9 of Hongik Univ. Station, and it’s right in a lively neighborhood with an Olive Young and a CU next door. The curtains around each bed have noticeable gaps, so there isn’t much privacy. The bathrooms and showers can’t be used after 11 a.m., which is inconvenient for guests who leave later and want to shower before heading out. In the female dorm, the cleaning staff were male, which felt a bit inappropriate. On top of that, the shower area had poor drainage, so water often pooled on the floor, leaving the space damp. Considering the room rates aren’t particularly cheap, these drawbacks were disappointing.
