- Lena (8/5): - It was a pleasant stay at the hotel. Nothing to complain. Good location

- Jasvy (10/5): - I had a great stay, the host was very welcoming and the location was great! Would definitely recommend!
- Andrew (10/5): great stay with a great host - our stay was good Paul was a great host and very helpful the hostel is in a good location for the subway and places to go eat its a quiet area around the hostel but a 5 min walk from a busy area with lots to do and eat . only downside from the stay was the mattress was a bit too hard so was a bit hard to sleep on for us.
- Gina (10/5): - Great!
- suhyun (10/5): - 위치가 너무 좋은 곳에 있네요 사장님도 친절하시고 숙소도 깔끔하니 괜찮았어요... 앞으로도 자주 이용할 생각입니다
- JOOHAN (10/5): - 근처 숙소중에 가장 조용히 수면을 취할 수 있습니다.
- Myoung Joon (10/5): - ヨンデの語学堂に通うために3週間滞在しました。 1人での滞在ということもあったのか、オーナーの方が色々と気にかけてくださって、ありがたかったです。 一度水道系のトラブルがあったのですが、夜にもかかわらず直ぐに駆けつけてくださり、助かりました。 また、立地の割にリーズナブルで、駅近ですが周辺は静かで外の音は気になりませんでした。 徒歩圏内に食べるところがたくさんあるので、それも良かったです。 また機会があれば、よろしくお願いします！
- Kazuma (10/5): - The owner is so friendly!!
- Abdiel (10/5): - Richard was super helpful and super friendly, room is small but that’s to be expected. Only complaint is the toilet location. You have to sit at an angle because of how close it is to the wall. But other than that, this place is by far the best travel hostel I’ve been to.
- Ervin (8/5): - Richard was a very approachable and sincere host. Always checks up on you and makes sure your stay is comfortable and convenient.
- johnathon (10/5): - Richard is very friendly and helpful
- YAO-CHING (10/5): - This hostel is located in an excellent downtown position. Convenient for transportation, shopping or just wandering. Although the space is not luxurious, the cost value is superior. The owner can speak several languages, and kindly to provide required help to travelers.
- Amanda (10/5): - The owner was very nice.
- Yuichiro (10/5): - 日本語対応可能。 オーナーのオッパは大変気さくで親切な人です。 都心へのアクセスもよく、建物は古いですが部屋も綺麗でした。 簡易シャワーですが、バストイレ付になります。 コスパは良いと思います。
- Ernest (10/5): Clean and comfortable stay for the price - Nice host. Clean room. Convenient area. Wet bathroom made it slightly inconvenient, but overall good stay.
- MENG-JEN (10/5): - The housekeeper was very friendly and provided a lot of transportation and dietary suggestions, saving more time to explore Seoul. When entering for the first time with luggage, please enter through the side door~
- Chiharu (10/5): - 女性の一人旅で何度かこちらを利用しています。 とても親切で気さくなオーナーさんのお陰で、毎回安心して宿泊しています。 今まで私が泊まった部屋は毎回清潔で、テレビ、ドライヤー、冷蔵庫、シャワー、トイレ、全部問題なく使えてとても快適でした。 ホステルは新村駅のすぐそばにあり、駅前にe-martや周囲にお店も沢山あるので地理的にも便利でおすすめです。
- Ho Cheung (10/5): - Richard依然有好服務，精通多國語言，加上房間整潔，是一間非常優秀的hostel
- 희주 (10/5): - The host was really kind. Clean and quiet. Reasonable price

- Huang (10/5): - 地點良好，價格實惠，房間乾淨，歐巴人很好又會中文，可以安心的入住，在一個小山丘上但在新村的中心，交通很方便。
- Anna (10/5): - It was our first big trip overseas and Richard made our accommodations easy and painless! We stayed just over two weeks, and though the room was small it was great for our budget. Richard treated us like family, always made sure we had eaten good food, and gave us lots of recommendations. We could always rely on him to help us in a pinch, and he was ready to offer accommodations for items that didn’t come with the room (such as ordering us large towels). The location was excellent; very quiet and close to tons of shops, restaurants, bus routes and the subway. Thank you so much for your kindness and friendship, we’ll be sure to stay again next time!
- Tony (10/5): - Location very convenient. Hostel is very close to Sinchon station, main street and university areas. Lots of great food options even at night. Richard is a very great and helpful host. I will come again. Thanks
- Parman (10/5): - The owner, Richard is very kind and speaks many languages, and is always willing to help you out
- Rana Incze (10/5): - Richard is a great host! He is always helpful and makes sure that everything goes smoothly. The room was very clean and had everything I needed. Sinchon area is the best, very lively, with many cafes, restaurants and shops around. Will definitely go back in my next stay in Seoul! Super recommended
- DAE WOO (6/5): - Good
- Noémie (10/5): - Très bien localiser proche des boutiques et de restaurants! Le propriétaire étais tres gentil et il donnais des recommandations dendroit a aller et comment sy rendre! Je reccommande!!

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good location and nice service, will choose to stay next time!!
- WEI TING (10/5): - 住宿地點交通十分便利，步行距離便可以抵達商圈。感謝親切風趣的老闆Richard在我們短暫停留期間給予的協助！
- Verified traveler (10/5): OPPA Hostel Rated High for Good Reason - If you are looking for a reasonably priced hotel, I recommend OPPA Hostel. Richard is a wonderful host and he goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable as much as possible. The room was clean and I had enough space to reorganize my luggage before I checked out. The washroom is a shower, toilet and sink combined, not ideal but you get used to it. The location is convenient and pretty quiet at night (4 min walk to Sinchon station). Would definitely return when I come back to Seoul.
- Fabio (10/5): - The Train station is nearby, very good service and the room was clean!
- Vivian (10/5): - The owner is very nice and helpful. Location is very near station and bus stop. The room is same as the picture shown, clean and proper size. Communication is not a problem since the owner knows a few languages. I'll definitely book this place again for my next visit.
- Shi Wen (10/5): - Very convenient location to Hongdae and subway line 2/4/5, lots of restaurants on the street below, but be aware there are slopes and the hostel has stairs. Could be hard for large luggage. The owner Richard is really friendly and responsible. Basic communication in English/Chinese are both fine. Room itself is small but clean. Bathroom is separated from where you sleep but shower head is just above the toilet. Also only saw some small towels. Overall had a nice stay there.
- Michaela (10/5): - Easy to navigate and close to the train station - just a 5 minute walk. Hostel owner is helpful with directions and information regarding the area.
- Samantha (10/5): - Loved our stay here! Host (Richard) is great and the area has lots to explore! Accommodations are excellent.
- Malinda (10/5): - The property is clean and just a five minute walk to Sinchon Station. The owner is very friendly and checked in on my friend and I every day to make sure we could find everything we needed.
- Mike (10/5): - Last patron of 2023. Easy check in, convenient location. Highly recommend!
- Fanny (10/5): - location is very near sinchon station exit 4 and airport bus 6002 stop. just walk 4min. The room inside has everything. The floor heater and hot water was very warm in room. next time wanna see snowing. Thanks
- Vivian (10/5): - location is very convenient. room inside has hair dryer, sleepers, big screen tv, hangers, refrigerator same as hotel. Price is reasonable.
- Seet Mun (6/5): - not well maintained.
- Sun Mi (10/5): - 가격대비 훌륭합니다. 다음에도 이용할 의향 있습니다.
- Lounès (10/5): Enchanté - L'hôte, Richard est aux petits soins et très sympathique.
- Vivian (10/5): - 位置很好. 房間乾淨還有新的牀很舒服. 服務員很親密. 他會說很多語言.
- Crystal (10/5): - The stay is valuable, Hotel is located exit 4 in Sinchon station, where are lots places to go. Price is very good in downtown Seoul. Staff is friendly, willing to satisfy your need and provide help.
- Kevin (10/5): - Comfortable and good location with private bathroom and good accessibility to a lot of things such as hairdryer, washing machine and microwave. staff can speak lots of languages so we didn't have any communication problems
- Tony (10/5): - We enjoyed staying at Oppa hostel. The location is good and near the subway and groceries. staff is very friendly and passion.
- Lynette (8/5): - Friendly Well located Clean and comfy
- Wendy (10/5): - It's not a luxury hotel, it's a hostel. Our stay was like crashing at a welcoming friend's house. The location is convenient to the subway, and also has a lot of shopping and places to eat in the area. Very walkable. Room was a good size (we had a bunk bed and a large bed), bed was comfy (we slept on the large bed, spread our luggage contents out on the bunk beds), and the blankets were great; my teen wanted to buy a set. It might be snug if 4 people were staying and had a lot of luggage. The bathroom was also a generous size and fully stocked. It's an Asian style bathroom, a wetroom, there is no shower curtain or shower stall so things get wet. Good water pressure and large bathtub. Room had a small bar fridge, and there is a larger fridge in the common area that could be used as well, as well as dishes and cutlery - like staying at a friend's house. He checked in on us via text when we were out and about to make sure we were ok, offered suggestions and assistance to make our visit easy. And he speaks English. Yes, when traveling to foreign countries, we should make an effort to learn the language, but sometimes we don't have time, sometimes we try and still suck at it, so having a host who speaks English was reassuring and made the trip less intimidating and more relaxing when we were "home." Save the stressful attempts to communicate in Korean and bad sign language for when you're navigating the subway and your t-card won't work. 他也会说中文。
- Crystal (10/5): - location is very well. Room is clean and enough size . staff could speak many launguges.
- TZUHAN (10/5): - 老闆：親切會中文，溝通上很順利，遇到問題也快速解決～ 旅館：公共區域有餐具、休息區、飲水機可使用，這次入住的家庭房位於B1，房間乾淨無異味，不悶熱，有冰箱、吹風機、毛巾、拖鞋等備品(無牙刷)，很齊全！冷氣很強，門鎖是電子鎖，很安全！ 位置：離新村站不用五分鐘！附近有超商、24hr餐館等，很便利！旅館很安靜不會吵！ ———————— 第一次到首爾旅遊，住宿上選擇這間旅館體驗非常好👍有機會會再入住OPPA HOSTEL❤️
- Ho Cheung (10/5): - 服務員精通多國語言，除了韓文，還能用英文、國語、日文等等同其他客戶溝通，雖然旅店要走樓梯，但他也會幫客人拿行李，服務一流，基本上由朝到晚都見到他，房間乾淨企理
- Karin (10/5): - オーナーさんが優しくて色々気にかけてくれました！また機会があれば泊まりたいですo(^_^)o
- Paul (10/5): - 場所が便利でした。 周りに現代デパートやイーマートがあります。 スタッフは常にラインで親切に教えてくれます。
- Paul (10/5): - 場所が良かったです。 スタッフがいつも尋ねたらラインで親切に案内をしてくれました。 外デッキで食べ物が食べられてとてもよかったです。
- saka (10/5): - スタッフが親切で新村駅4番出口から徒歩5分です。 ホステルから新村中心までは2分です。 シングルルームを予約しましたが、荷物が多くてダブルルームに変更してくれました。 タオルも要請したら新しいタオルに交換してくれました。 ありがとうございます。 部屋に窓も良くてよかったです。 次にまた予約します。
- RUMIKO (4/5): - ・半ば強制的にLINE交換 （韓国人の圧に負けてしまう所もありますが.） （滞在中日本語で聞きたい事を聞けるのは○） ・キングサイズのベッドが硬い （2段ベッドの方は普通） ・ミニサイズの冷蔵庫がある （しかし部屋内で飲食禁止、ホテルの外にテーブルと椅子が用意されておりそこで飲食） ・ホテルの近くに仁川空港まで直行バスあり （1,700円かかる 電車だと約500円） メリット ・2号線が走ってる駅だからアクセスは便利 ・シャンプー・リンス・ボディウォッシュ・手を洗う固形石鹸は完備 （シャンプーとリンスはいい匂い） ・YouTubeが見れる ・Wi-Fiは十分に繋がる ・ウォーターサーバー有り ・シャワーの水圧や温度調節は問題ない デメリット ・ホテルに行くまでに坂や階段が多い ・ホテル内エレベーターなし ・部屋着の用意なし ・予約時は朝食有りだったが、確認するとコロナ以降はやっていないらしい ・カードキーが1つしか貰えない （ドアが何回も通報音みたいな音がなり、1人で外出できない） ・床暖房（オンドル）はないので寒い （あまり綺麗ではないスリッパはある） ・タオル1人あたり、1日フェイスタオル1枚・生乾きの匂いがして臭い （お願いしないと用意してくれない） ・浴槽がある部屋をお願いしたら用意してくれたが、栓がなくてお湯は溜めれない（他の部屋の方の分の水が無くなるという理由で栓も貰えない） ・トイレと浴室が一緒でカーテンの仕切りは無いため、便座は濡れやすいので注意 ・ドライヤーの風圧は弱め（冷風なし）
- Leo (10/5): Brilliant stay and amazing host - Had a brilliant stay at OPPA hostel! The manager Richard was amazing and became our friend on our stay there (even played football with him and his team!) The area is great to get around the city and has loads of restaurants outside the door!
- John (10/5): - Our first time visiting Seoul and could not have picked a better place to stay. Richard was amazing. He was so kind and welcoming. He went way above and beyond with anything we needed help with. We will be going back and will be staying at the Oppa Hostel again!Thank you Richard!Highly recommend.
- Hyonwook (10/5): - Kind staffs and a neat and clean room
- Catherine (10/5): - Richard, the owner was an excellent host during my first hostel stay. He went over and beyond to be accommodating and make sure I got what I needed. I got sick so had to spend more days in the hostel than expected and it was quiet where I was able to rest and recover. Very grateful for that!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Not locate far away from subway Sinchon. Gave us a room for 3 persons although stay only 2 persons. Cleanliness room
- Sylvia (10/5): - The host is very kind and always ask if we needed any help. Perfect location with several convenient stores and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay there.
- PanchaleeA (10/5): - Nice staff feel like home, near Sinchon station and easy to find restaurant around hostel
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great location for a good price - Great location with a subway station less than a block away and a 24-hour dumpling restaurant about 2 blocks away. The place was affordable and clean with great service. Wifi was strong in the lobby but it was spotty in our room. Sometimes it worked and other times it didn't.
- Peter (10/5): - Really good location, near a subway station. Also, surrounded by lots other similar accommodations.
- Meghan Rae (6/5): If you aren't looking for much, it's fine. - The stay was not ideal, we were not first time visitors to South Korea, and we know what to expect in terms of hospitality. Perhaps the host is accustomed to inexperienced backpackers, who don't mind all of the conventions of the hostel experience. However, we booked a private room, and the Hotels.com page listed a number of amenities that simply were not provided. Our host was helpful arranging airport transport and tours, however would schedule things without confirmation or consent, and then that was the plan we were stuck with. The hotel's space and rooms were clean and quiet. Not a terrible stay, just not up to the expectation set by the listing.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel near to the subway Sinchon stn exit 5 or 7.Also,near Sinchon shopping street.Airport bus transfer Station also nearby. Room wise more suitable to budget conscious and backpacker style travellers. That person is not me as I prefer hotels with full room facilities.
- John (10/5): - Fantastic hostel that’s in a great area with plenty of food options. Right next to the Sinchon subway stop. The room I stayed in felt like a hotel room since it was so well maintained, and had everything I needed to enjoy a comfortable stay. Richard, the host, was extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for hotel quality but at a hostel price. Amazing place.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Brand new Korean & Western style - We can get everything around there, The founder always be nice and also his motto: We speak ur language Let's do this
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - good location, big rooms, staff speaks many language
- M (10/5): Best location - Near the subway station (Sogang U. and Sinchon) Very comfortable, The room is clean and warm. Easy to connect the host.
- Amit (2/5): Boarding school - BEWARE !!! - Room did not have a table and chair. The wall papers were torn out and tv sound was not working. The fridge was not plugged in. Towels are not provided and when I requested a small face towel was given. There is no kitchen in the place and breakfast consists of a toast and jam and butter only. The room felt cold since the owner tries to save money by switching off the heating when you are not in the room. You cannot carry your room key either and are forced to leave at reception. The owner does not allow any food, drinks in the room and threatens of fines if you do so. You are also not allowed to invite any friend /s in the room and if you do so then there will be a fine. The place is run like a boarding school and there is too much of heavy handedness as mentioned above. Avoid !!!
- Wils (10/5): - Location accessible, the area is a food haven for us..... you can find almost everything you need . Richard, the delightful owner, you can count on him for help.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hotel not bad. Transport convenient tks. - Easy to travel. Mrt n Buses easy accessible tks. Airport Bus nearby.
- Janet (10/5): Nice hotel near to station - Nice location, it's near to the station and shopping area where we could go shopping easily. Nice staff, he is friendly and helpful who can speak multi language! The room is comfortable and tidy, and the toilet is big and clean. Overall speaking, we had a great experience.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect location when doing things in the Sinchon area. It was super easy to find and the owner was so nice.
- Khanh (8/5): - It was very good hospitality. The staff there is great! And if you're bored of the city, the owner has pets there, which I got to say very friendly. Overall very good guesthouse. Recommended.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - stayed there for a short period of time, good location, close to a lot of places including subway station
- Joan (10/5): Well-Equipped, Good Location, Prompt and Staff - Amazing location and really peaceful lodging. The scale for luggages is very helpful, and checking in and out is a breeze. Tip- The restaurant pictured below is at the entrance of the lane you need to go up in order to get to the hostel. It is in the same neighborhood as the Vogue Hotel.
- NN (8/5): Good location, Friendly staff - I am impressed with the staff who is friendly and very helpful. WiFi internet connection is quite good.
- Sam (10/5): Value for money - Keep in mind that this is hostel and not hotel, do not expect too much. The building is clean and nice and comes with lift and weighing scale. The hostel was on a slight up hill, and walk distance about 10min to Sinchon Station Line 2. The hostel supply light breakfast - bread, jam, milk, water, corn flakes etc.. The host was good, overall was ok except that the room was pretty small. But then the bathroom was huge ratio to the room.
- Abigail Karen (10/5): Short stay but it's worth it - We only stayed there over night before going to my bf home town but location, price and amenities are all good. It's very accessible with subway and bus station nearby. Just a little walk you can also find a lot of place to eat. Richard who welcome us is very hospitable and friendly. I was surprised he can also speak a lot of language. Will make sure this place will be on my list again next time when I visit Seoul.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Very value for money - I stayed at Oppa Hostel for 12Ns with a friend. The hostel owner, Richard, was kind enough to upgrade our room from the twin room to deluxe double room, which actually comes with a bathtub in the toilet. Richard can speak many languages, so communication definitely isn't a problem. He helped us with ordering food in, and also recommended places of interest to visit. Wifi speed in the room is fast and steady, and there is a fridge, hairdryer, aircon, and TV. Washing of clothes can be done from 12pm-8pm, and hung in the room to dry (not a problem for short-term travellers). Although the Hostel is located in an area with many motels (plus a temple), it feels very safe since we hardly ever see anybody. There is a slight hill up, which is only problematic for the old, young, or people with very heavy luggages. The hostel has a lift, and I cannot stress how important this is, since I had to drag my 30KG luggage down a long flight of stairs during my previous stay elsewhere. Location is good, Sinchon itself has many eating options, and Hongdae and Ewha are within walking distance - so shopping and drinks/food are all available in excess. I have definitely stayed at better hostels before with nicer room deco/common area, but Oppa Hostel is excellent if you are on a tight budget, but still want private facilities (i.e. toilet).
- Betty (10/5): Nice hostel for short stay - As a foreigner, it was very difficult to find the place after we got off the airport shuttle in Sinchon station, so make sure to do your homework before going! The owner, Richard, was friendly to my friend and I when we arrived and helped us call a cab when we were leaving. We got one of the bigger rooms (a room with 2 bunk beds) but space was still a bit cramped but it was doable and what we expected. There is AC, hairdryer and TV. I was surprised that there was no shampoo and body wash but we have our own so it was no problem. Overall, experience was good. We stayed for one night.
- Meg (10/5): - This is my first stay in guest house. There are private rooms, and my room had also shower and toilet. It is convenient to access to Hongde, with 15 minutes walk. Breakfast service helped too. The owner was kind for me, he can Japanese, Chinese and Englise. I'll use here again when I come to Seoul next time.
