Guest Reviews

• Beatrice (9/5): Very good option in Seoul for affordable comfort - Location, very clean and organised Breakfast
• Trevin (7/5): -
• Kate (9/5): -
• 주연 (10/5): - 내집 같은 편안함... 특히 D룸은 다른 사람 침대와 마주보는 구조가 아니라서 더 좋음... 이대로만 유지해주길
• 은채 (10/5): -
• SetyANING YPL (9/5): -
• MARK (7/5): - “It was a surprisingly pleasant experience sharing a room with others. The atmosphere was friendly, comfortable, and ideal for meeting new people. Overall, the place is excellent for groups of friends or students on youth trips — a practical, welcoming, and memorable stay. Truly a good experience from start to finish.” On
• Daejong (9/5): 청결, 좋은 위치. - 위치가 좋고 시설이 매우 깨끗함. 수건도 제공. 가성비 좋음
• Benedetta (6/5): Comodo per una notte -
• HyunJung (7/5): -
• 주연 (10/5): 서울에 이 가격! - 내국인도 받아준다는 점이 좋고, 성별이 분리 되어서 좋아요! 매너 좋은 직원분들 뭐든 물으면 잘 대답해주십니다! 내집처럼 편해서 떠나는게 아쉬워질 정도랍니당 ㅋㅋ 이대로만 평생 유지해줘요
• Jung (8/5): - self-serve, toast with butter, a banana, boiled eggs, and a coffee lockers could have been a bit more spacious
• Tessa (7/5): - Frühstück war im Preis inbegriffen, es gab zwei Sorten von Müsli, Milch, Orangensaft, Toast und Eier. Wobei die Eier nicht sonderlich gut waren.... Personal war nett und hilfsbereit. Handtücher konnte man sich im Badezimmer einfach nehmen und na h Benutzung in einen bereitstehenden Wäschekorb werfen Die Lage direkt an der City Hall UBahn Station und super nah am Herzen von Myeondong ist kaum zu übertreffen Platz war sehr beengt, kein Platz im Zimmer für all die Koffer und Sachen. Daher waren viele Sachen im Flur und Aufenthaltsraum geparkt. Auch war es teilweise sehr laut in der Unterkunft
• Nilam (10/5): absolut empfehlenswert! - Ich hatte alles, was man für eine angenehme Übernachtung braucht: Komfort, Sauberkeit, Ruhe und eine zentrale Lage. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, vor allem die jungen Mitarbeiterinnen. Die getrennten Kabinen für Männer und Frauen sind ein Pluspunkt, ebenso wie der gemütliche Chill-Raum. Mir hat der Aufenthalt insgesamt sehr gut gefallen. Nicht
• Kristina Mit (8/5): -
• Hong Bin (8/5): -
• Myah (7/5): Super - Très bon emplacement, pas loin du métro, et du bus vers l’aéroport. C’était très bien équipé. J’ai beaucoup apprécié le séjour. Peut d’emplacement pour les valises qui encombrent les couloirs.
• Dinesh (1/5): Racist and rude! - Nothing. When I entered, the receptionist gave me a disgusted look. I had selected, booked, and paid for the hostel for a female friend so I had all the check-in details on my phone. I had carried her heavy bags up to reception and intended to help her check in before leaving, but when I told the receptionist I'd booked one bed for my friend but not for me (I stay at nicer places than that) she loudly said "get out". I explained that I had all the details to check-in but she said they don't want "random people like you on the women's floor"... even though the reception is the same for both men and women. It was clearly racially motivated, and after that she continued to be rude to my friend. Overall, the feedback I got is the place is noisy and unclean. Avoid these people.
• Philip (4/5): - This place is the definition of overcrowded. The rooms smells really bad. The bathrooms you are not suppose to flush the toilet paper. So you can just imagine the smell. The lockers were so small you can barely fit a travel size backpack. I would definitely pay a little bit more for something a little nicer next time.
• 주연 (10/5): - 깨끗하고 방음도 잘 되고 방도 많아서 좋아요! 샤워실도 깨끗하고 수건도 관리가 잘 되더라구용 넘 괜찮아서 1박 연장해서 서울 더 즐겼어요 지금처럼만 유지해주길!
• Ammy (10/5): - It was a great experience!! Very cleaned and made lots of friends while my stay there. Definitely going back
• Marie-Gabrielle (10/5): - Very good place to stay, close to Myeongdong market. Everyone i met there was super nice and friendly
• Charlotte (9/5): -
• Aaron (5/5): Overall okay, decent to sleep at for one night. - Simple, pod hotel layout. Bed was comfortable and sheets, blanket, and pillow were clean and smelled good. The bathroom was run down, flooring was a tripping hazard and coming up in many places. Bathrooms weren’t maintained very well and smelled.
• Lisa Wool-Rim (9/5): - Great location, very comfortable, easy access, clean and convenient. The sleeping spaces were perfect for their purpose, and I will definitely stay here again. It's great if you just need a place to sleep in the city centre for a night or two, but don't want to spend too much money on accommodation.
• KyoWon (10/5): -
• Daniel (8/5): -
• Hangwoo (8/5): -
• Laurène (7/5): Établissement pour passage très rapide - Je suis restée une nuit dans l’établissement, assez facile à trouver. Il y avait un casier à verrou par lit, de quoi brancher ses appareils dans la grande salle commune, un petit déjeuner qui correspond à la description, quelques équipements de cuisine à disposition, deux salles de douches & toilettes communes propres. L’accueil par la réceptionniste n’a pas été très charmant. Il y avait des cheveux sur mes draps. Les murs sont très très fins : j’entendais tout ce qu’il se passait dans la salle d’à côté et toute la nuit il y avait un bruit de moteur de machine que j’entendais malgré mes bouchons d’oreilles et dont je ressentais les vibrations (j’étais sur le lit du bas). Pas vraiment de place appropriée pour laisser ma valise soute ni pour l’ouvrir sans déranger. En résumé, il y a de meilleurs établissements mieux isolés et mieux placés pour passer une nuit à Séoul mais celui-ci fait le travail si vous pouvez vous contenter du minimum.
• Diyana (10/5): - I enjoyed my staying there.definitely recommend for solo travelers
• Alessandro (7/5): -
• Tracey (10/5): -
• Harsh (7/5): Clean Comfort-Great Location - Great location, clean bathrooms and toilets. The beds were tidy, and the rooms had good lighting. It may sound trivial, but management should address this. The Level 3 common room is reserved for girls, which is fine. However, the Level 6 common room, designated for boys, is also being used by many of the same girls. This feels unfair to the male guests. Some male travelers would like a quiet space or the chance to socialize with other men. Either the Level 6 common room should be kept strictly for boys, or both levels should be made gender-neutral.
• Dieter (7/5): -
• MANATO (10/5): - よかった！
• Hernan (8/5): -
• Priska (10/5): - Ich habe meine Schuhe vergessen, sie wurden mir nach Deutschland geschickt. Super Service!
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Maya (9/5): Superb -
• Angelo (8/5): Very good -
• Cocom (4/5): Well below what I’d expect in Korea - The rooms are clean and the mattress is fairly comfortable. The location is also very central. The Wi-Fi works well, and clean towels are provided in the bathroom. In short: the location might be convenient, but the service and amenities fall far short of what you’d expect for the price. If it’s just for one night, maybe. But don’t expect anything more than a bed. Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing overall. The hostel offers only the bare minimum, with little effort made to ensure a pleasant stay. From the moment I arrived, there was no sense of welcome — I didn’t see a single staff member during my entire stay. Everything is handled via automated messages, which feels impersonal and cold. The biggest issue was the bathroom: it was dirty, and toilet paper cannot be flushed — instead, it must be thrown into a bin next to the toilet. This setup is unhygienic and quickly leads to unpleasant smells. Breakfast was also very basic: a few low-quality items stored in a fridge, again with no staff around. Instant coffee was the only option, and the food itself had very little taste. Lastly, although it’s not entirely the hostel’s fault, the atmosphere was noisy and quite inconsiderate. Many guests didn’t remove their shoes despite slippers being provided, and loud conversations went on late into the night in the common area. The lack of staff clearly contributes to the absence of basic rules being followed.
• Thomas (9/5): Superb - It's actually a really good hostel, comfortable and clean, with a great location and breakfast. I'd definitely come again! Minor things include no space for a suitcase or backpack in the dorm. Also the many cameras, which monitor every corner of the hostel, give a weird feeling. Somehow strange is also the strong segregation of women and man on the different floors. Hence man can only use 1/2 kitchens and only have 1 bathroom, whereas women have 2 and can access both areas. The mixed floor might become quite packed.
• Samantha Sunnah (10/5): - Clean, quiet, spacious enough
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
• Harris (9/5): Superb -
• Jana (9/5): Superb - Really great location with noticeable attractions in walking distance! Very clean hostel and comfortable bed. The beds far away from the AC can get quite warm and the air isn’t great.
• Maria (8/5): - I liked this place. Nice, clean, good location, friendly stuff, they do laundry service. There’s also breakfast (not my kinda breakfast though, but it’s included in the price). Very little space to open your suitcase, but everyone managed somehow. You can get there by bus from the airport (beware there are two seoulcubes).
• Louis (8/5): Very good -
• Louis (8/5): Very good -
• Ana Karen (10/5): - Ubicación accesible, conveniente Personal amable Limpio
• Shinae (8/5): Very good -
• Jonathan (7/5): Nice but nothing special -
• Mark (6/5): Community living - This is a hostel style capsule hotel. Shared accommodation so it gets noisy. Storage of larger bag is haphazard but you can find a space and trust it should be fine. Instructions are clear and location is good.
• Lucas Medrado de (10/5): - Melhor escolha, podem ir, se você quer apenas um lugar confortável para dormir após um dia de passeio e comprar pela cidade, é ótimo.
• Chieko (1/5): Bad -
• Bella (10/5): Exceptional - The property was clean, close to everything and had a good vibe!!!
• Arturo J (6/5): Muy básico - Sinceramente muy básica, el personal de recepción la verdad con trabajos y te dirige la palabra... Como si te estuviera haciendo un gran favor.
• Nicole (8/5): Fine for the money - This place has self check-in, which is fine, but you miss out a bit on the welcoming experience of getting tour ideas and restaurant recommendations. You're also left to figure everything out by yourself, which again, we all did, but is always nice to have someone who knows what they're doing at your fingertips. I digress...the cube itself was fine, bed, clean sheets, a mirror, outlet and hangers. My issue with the hostels I stayed at in SK, including this one, is that there is nowhere to store luggage. the lockers are too small and there is no floor space. This means people are leaving their larger luggage unattended in the reception area. It felt safe and they say there is cctv, but as someone who has had things stolen before it was very uncomfortable. Location was good, close to transit and shopping, as long as you're ok staying in Myeongdong, to me it's a bit like Times Square in NYC. Showers and toilets were clean and available, small towels provided.
• Kloe (7/5): Good -
• MIOK (8/5): - very comfortable!
• stephanie (2/5): - The room was slightly smelly and hot so we had to air out the window. The way they gave room codes was not efficient as people with forget their codes and have to knock. The staff wasn’t super friendly or approachable. They kinda did their own thing. Laundry was a bit overpriced compared to other places. Only location was good.
• Carlos (8/5): - The Seoul cube is a really good place to stay, as it is near numerous attractions and shops.
• Brandi (7/5): Pleasant stay. Great location. - The location is fantastic! There was not a lot of space to store your stuff and luggage is always blocking the doorways. Shelves/hooks in the cube or lockers would be helpful. The rooms would get very hot at night, so fans would be a nice touch in the rooms.
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Hostel is recommendable. Very clean all over the place, the showers, toilets, kitchen, bedrooms and beds. Free towels, coffee, tea, and a good breakfast are included. Very friendly staff, well equipped common room. They provide lockers. The space in the capsule is sufficient with light and charging plugs. Close to the Metro station.
• Aliz (10/5): Exceptional -
• Syazwan (7/5): Good -
• Koki (4/5): OK - Not so far from station. My room was very cold.
• Allan (8/5): Very good -
• Myungjae (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kevin (10/5): - Perfect for students with a low budget. The location is perfect !
• David John (10/5): - i stayed 5 days and it was wonderful with the free breakfast if you are a solo budget traveller then this the place for you in seoul. The location is perfect for tourists.
• Simon (9/5): Affordable and efficient accommodation - Great location walking distance to all the shops and train lines, plenty of fresh clean towels that are washed and dried daily you can take as many as needed, bathrooms were clean, breakfast toast ham cheese and cereal available whenever Rooms felt a bit cramped at times for larger suitcases
• Julia (8/5): Very good - It's as pictured. All amenities were included and the bed was comfortable. I found the set up wasn't as good as another location.
• Jessica (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mya (7/5): Good - I like that each cube comes with a curtain for privacy. Location is quite central. The female bathroom was adequately clean, but the floor was constantly wet. There are clean towels provided in the bathroom, but with no indication of whether they're for personal use or cleaning - might've been both, because I saw some people use those towels to dry the floor. Though I understand they are washed after each use, I'm not comfortable with the idea that the towels I'm wiping my face might've been used on the floor before.
• Dercio (10/5): Amazing! - My favorite hostel in Seoul!
• Nicomedez (9/5): Superb -
• Anton (9/5): Recommend - Perfect location Comfy bed Spacious common area Clean Bathroom That’s all you need from a dormi And they have earplugs for those who can’t sleep with humming noise from ac
• ??? (8/5): - 明洞のメイン通りから近く、駅からもアクセスがしやすかったです。共用部分も綺麗にされており、部屋も男女別に別れているので安全でした。ただ、エントランスの扉が終始空いていたため、誰でも出入りできるようになってしまっていたのが少し不安でした。また機会があれば利用します。
• Rocelyn (7/5): Good -
• Marco (8/5): - The two young Asian men from the staff were very friendly and helpful. English was not a problem either, unfortunately it was often very loud and the other guests did not follow the room rules. Despite this, the location is incredibly good, especially for this price. The palace is only a 5-minute walk away, perfect for a safe evening stroll around the palace. City Hall is practically right next to the hotel, so you can always pop over to events. In the end, I would happily stay there again because of the price and the incredibly good location.
• Kristina (10/5): Exceptional - Super comfortable, free breakfast, clean, quiet at night, and nice location walking distance from Myeongdong station and the night market!
• Fenn (9/5): Superb - friendly staff wish the check in time is earlier
• X_sc (5/5): Passable -
• Sandra (9/5): Superb -
• Anne (10/5): Very clean and a lot of privacy. Super comfortable stay with everything you need - Super clean and friendly personnel
• Kiona (8/5): Ok place to stay, good location, clean, comfi beds - Comfi beds, long table for breakfast. Very compact, not a lot of space for stuff. one of the staff when I was there was super unfriendly, but maybe she had a bad night sleep.
• Ramon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ramon (10/5): Exceptional -
• FUMITO (2/5): - lounge people are so noisy.
• Nicomedez (9/5): Superb -
• Neogo (9/5): Superb -
• Çağatay (7/5): Good - Location It's tooooo crowded at such a small place
• Dr.alhafian.traveler (5/5): Passable - Location very close to attacking area Staff not good
• YUKI (6/5): - 人生で初めてカプセルホテルを利用しました。女性フロア　男性フロアに別れているのは安心でした。トイレを利用するのも一旦外に出て暗証番号で入室。面倒ではありますが安く泊まるためと割り切ればいいのかもしれません。
• Jonathan (9/5): Very convenient stay - - Comfy and very clean. - Very spacious common bathrooms, well-equipped. - Breakfast was very good by hostel standards. - Lockers provided. - Good central location, close to some major attractions, in a very central part of Seoul. Metro stations and convenience stores close by. - Noise levels could be a problem, and I was disappointed that a staff member was among the ones drinking and being loudest at like 3-4am. I had to go out and ask a group of people to quieten down. Which they did to be fair, and noise levels were much more reasonable afterwards, but it's never fun to be the 'bad guy' who tells people to stop having fun. - Limited space to put luggage in the rooms when the rooms are close to full.

• Pei (10/5): Comfy - The bed is comfy. The washroom and shower room are cleans. The charging ports beside the bed are useful (no need travel adaptor). The basin in the washroom is quite short, but it was not a big issue since I could just lay a towel to prevent my clothes from getting wet when I washed my face.
• Dąbrowska (10/5): Exceptional -
• Romain (8/5): - Bon compris d’auberge espagnole qui permets d’avoir de l’intimité
