Guest Reviews

• Yong Fung (7/5): -
• Emily (10/5): Clean, convenient, and comfortable. - Everything was very clean and comfortable. The location is super convenient. The staff were very accommodating to my various needs and requests, which I really appreciated!
• Mohammad (10/5): -
• Aslı (10/5): - Tesisin konumu çok güzel 2 dakika mesafede metro var . Havalimanından geliş çok rahat kesinlikle tavsiye ederim. Tekrar geldiğimde gene bu tesiste kalacağım
• Chia Hsien (8/5): 離明洞站很近，機場巴士也能直接到，雖然要爬一點坡，但是附近有很多可愛的景點。 - 民宿出來就有7-11，走下去有ISSAC吐司店，不用排很久。 隔音不太好，第三晚外面有外國女生和朋友吵架，門摔的很大聲，有點可怕。
• Marcin (8/5): Overall, it was fine, and for the price I paid for the stay, I wouldn’t really expect more than what - I really liked the location. It was close to Myeongdong Street Food Alley and not far from N Seoul Tower. The place had everything I needed to comfortably manage the entire stay, so it was very practical and convenient. The bed was definitely too soft for me. I also missed having a small bedside lamp near the bed. Another thing that would have helped a lot was an adjustable holder for the shower head. Since there was no separate shower cabin — just a shower head in the bathroom area with the sink and toilet — having a proper adjustable holder would have made showering much more comfortable.
• Quynh (8/5): -
• Kate (9/5): -
• Ayozet (4/5): - La ubicación Durante mi estancia experimenté serios problemas de descanso debido al fuerte ruido constante del frigorífico, que me impidió dormir adecuadamente durante las 4 noches. Adicionalmente, la zona detrás del microondas presentaba un estado de suciedad evidente. Lejos de ofrecerme una solución viable, el personal me propuso que yo mismo desmontara el microondas y desconectara el frigorífico por las noches —con mis alimentos dentro—, algo que considero absolutamente inaceptable.
• Dilbara (7/5): Overall is OK - Location is 10/10. Facilities are OK, we had private bathroom. Need to wait a few minutes for the hot water but not a big issue. Don’t expect freshly renovated rooms. Some things look worn but the stay was comfortable overall.
• AKIKO (2/5): もう利用しないと思います。 - 立地 洗濯機が使いたくて選んだのに故障していた。言ったら「洗濯します」と言われたけれど、他人にしてもらうわけにもいかず・・下着は手洗いして服は買いました。選んだ意味がなかったです。 洗面所は排水されず、詰まったままで、キッチンで手を洗ったり歯磨きしました。部屋に入ったら臭いがひどかった。 1番辛かったのは布団と枕の臭いでした。 交換されないようでした。虫除けスプレーかけてから寝ましたが、起きたら3カ所虫に刺されていました。 最初のフロントに座っていた韓国の女の子は優しく親切でしたが 翌日の西洋人の女の子は挨拶しても返事もなく座っているだけでした。
• Oleksiy (7/5): -
• Manasa (9/5): - No lift
• Serena (8/5): - La posizione è fantastica in zona centralissima e la nostra finestra dava direttamente sulla tower. La camera piccola e essenziale ma con tutto il necessario. Comoda la bilancia fuori dalle camere per lo shopping sfrenato Abbiamo avuto problemi di perdita d acqua dal lavandino, segnalato ma purtroppo non è stato riparato nelle 4 notti che abbiamo passato. La doccia è veramente piccola e il letto molto duro
• ZHENYI (8/5): -
• RhimasModese (9/5): -
• Debra (7/5): -
• Kaori (9/5): - 明洞からもすぐで、サウナもすぐ近くにあり、とても快適でした。 ラインはすぐ返信がありましたが、電話は折り返しもなかったです。
• Yoshi (8/5): - 部屋に冷蔵庫、冷凍庫、洗濯機もあり大変助かりました。 明洞からも近く観光客向けのホテルです。 入口近くの部屋だったせいかスーツケースの早朝から移動音、ドアの開閉音で目覚めてしまいました。 防音は余り良くなかったです。
• Miguy (10/5): Hôtel petit budget - Le rooftop avec vue sur Namsam Tower et la proximité du Métro, des conveniences , des restaurants, cafés et un bureau de change. Il est vraiment bien situé. Aucun commentaire !
• Sandrine (8/5): -
• grazia (6/5): -
• Andrea (7/5): Camas de piedra por desgracia - La verdad es que la ubicación es genial, la habitación para 4 personas también lo es, con lavadora, nevera. Todo limpio! El problema (y grande) son las camas. Como digo, todo está genial menos las camas, que son duras como el suelo (sin exagerar, os lo dice alguien que viaja mucho y está acostumbrada a adaptarse). Si eres asiático y estas acostumbrado a suelo/futón, quizás te vale. Yo tuve que dormir en la cama supletoria porque era la única que no era una piedra. Por muy bien que esté todo, al final lo más importante en un hotel es poder descansar y que haya una buena cama, que aquí no pudo ser. Por otro lado, la chica de recepción es bastante seca, podria ser un poco mas simpatica.
• josefa (10/5): Ótima localização, simpatia dos funcionários definem o local - A simpatia dos funcionários, a localização Não teve nada….
• sergio (7/5): - Realmente lo que pagas es la ubicación. La habitación es pequeña y viene equipada con nevera, microondas y lavadora, lo que le resta más espacio. No tiene sabanas. La ducha está sobre el WC por lo que se moja todo. El baño es realmente pequeño. No tiene ascensor pero la azotea si compras unas yonkilatas la disfrutas.
• 楓瑜 (4/5): - 距離地鐵站不遠 入住第一天就發現洗衣機、吹風機、延長線都無法正常使用，反應後隔天吹風機以及延長線都有更換，但洗衣機到了第三天尚未處理，跟客服進行溝通之後店家才主動詢問是否需要換房或是退款給我們另找住宿，並且換房前的水流量挺小的，男生還可以應付，但女生洗起來應該挺辛苦的，只能說要不是因為當時真的沒住宿了，不然真的很想直接換一家旅館
• Dharma (9/5): - Location, only 6 min walk to Airport Bus & Myeongdong Station. 7-eleven & Isaac Toast nearby. No elevator. My room was on the 4th floor & I have a medium suitcase. Also, it will be quite inconvenient if you have a knee problem.
• Emily (9/5): - Excellent location, great value for money for area
• Dominique (8/5): -
• JVCupcake (8/5): - The place is classified as a hostel however I stayed in a private room that came with a fridge microwave and washermachine. The place is ideally located and clean. I would definitely return. There was nothing I die not like .
• Ethan (8/5): - Easily access to station Aircon didn't work
• Yau (10/5): - 好好的體驗 零晨機到 店主早上八點已給予check in 激讚
• Hanna (9/5): -
• Dominique (8/5): -
• Mateusz (10/5): -
• Sydney (9/5): -
• Aleksei (10/5): - Отличное местоположение. Рядом парк Намсан, для пробежек идеален. Чисто, тихо. Было немного холодно в номере. Обогреватель справился в итоге.
• Robert (6/5): Good location helps make up for shortcomings - The location was very convenient, and it was quiet, so we slept well. Small room, no elevator to 4th floor, and no service whatsoever even to replace towels or empty garbage.
• Anito (10/5): -
• serena (7/5): -
• Ekaterina (10/5): -
• Ashleigh (9/5): - Location was great. Room was bigger than I thought. Liked the washing machine and full sized fridge. Just the stairs. I have a little bit of a bad knee and the stairs killed me. I also thought the bed was slightly too firm for my taste.
• Stefania (8/5): Absolute top Lage - Die Lage war echt super! Die Unterkunft ist richtig zentral gelegen und wir haben nie lang zu verschiedenen Orten gebraucht. Die Straße, in der die Unterkunft liegt, ist total süß mit einigen Restaurants und Cafés und genau gegenüber war auch ein kleiner 7-Eleven. Wenn man die Hauptstraße überquert ist man sofort bei den berühmten Essenständen von Myongdong und an jeder Ecke ist ein Laden oder ein Restaurant. Die Metro ist auch gleich am Ende der Straße und der Hauptbahnhof ist nur zwei Stops mit der Metro entfernt. Bisschen gestört hat tatsächlich die Dusche, weil die Duschwand nicht bis zum Boden ging und man deshalb sehr aufpassen musste, dass man nicht das gesamte Bad unter Wasser setzt. Das Zimmer war auch etwas sehr klein, da war’s bisschen schwer, die Koffer richtig zu öffnen und unterzubringen. Und die Zimmer waren sehr hellhörig. Man hat sehr viel aus den Nachbarzimmern oder vom Gang hören können.
• ANA (8/5): - El trato del personal y la ubicación. Todo estuvo muy bien.
• SAIFON (9/5): -
• Oleksiy (8/5): - Grear location, friendly employees, everything you need inside the room, very quiet the mattress was too hard for me
• NikArtVi (8/5): Aceptable - Ubicación Nada
• Акбергенов (10/5): - Все понравилось .
• chiu yen (8/5): -
• PAO-LUN (10/5): - 住宿地點離一號出口不遠，跨過馬路就是明洞夜市，相較起來周邊安靜很多；因為晚上才抵達，房東很貼心的訊息提醒現場會有標示，到現場就馬上看到明顯的MEMO一路從大門指引到房間 :)，周邊用餐方便，從地鐵站出來後轉進巷子到住宿點過程會經過超商、超市(離開前可以趁機買零食塞行李箱)，甚至餐廳，相當方便。
• Carlos (9/5): Hostel muy cuidado en el centro de Seul - Zaza backpakers es un hostel muy agradable. Está bien ubicado. Tiene lavadora en la habitación. Todo está muy limpio y cuidado. Es muy tranquilo La habitación es un poco pequeña
• Sumire (8/5): - 家族４人、うち子どもは小中学生でした。 子どもにとって初めての海外旅行です。 費用と経験目的でこちらのバックパッカー向けの宿に泊まりました。 夜遅く到着でスタッフはいませんでしたが、名前付きの説明書を玄関に貼り付けてくれていました（プライバシーの観点からは問題があるかもしれませんが、それは私にとって助かりました）。 近くにセブンイレブンがあり夜食を食べられたこと、明洞の駅や街から近く、キッチンや無料の水やコーヒー、お茶を備えていることが良かったです。 歯ブラシ、シャンプー、ソープが無料提供されており、通常のホテルでは有料なので嬉しかったです。朝会ったスタッフはフレンドリーでした。 これはどうにもならないですが、施設が古く、トイレとシャワーがついたてだけで仕切られていて、家族は不慣れなのでシャワーを浴びませんでした（私は慣れていたので使いました）。 そういった点が気になる方は難しいかもしれません。
• Kulbekova (10/5): -
• Antoine (10/5): -
• Feriel (10/5): Très bon séjour à prix raisonnable - La proximité avec les lieux d’intérêt et les transports Chambre un peu petite pour deux
• Gamze (10/5): Zaza is very central and we felt like we were staying at our home during our stay at Seoul - Hospitality
• Indhira (9/5): - The room smells nice. There's a 7-Eleven nearby. Great Location. Near Bus Station and Train.
• Tuan Anh (9/5): Tuyệt -
• Lea-Jeanne (7/5): - The location and the staff were really kind. There was some mold in the shower.

• Keyla (10/5): -
• May Anne (8/5): Overall, it was a nice stay, and convenient location when going around Seoul. - Its near the train station. The mattress were not that comfy, a bit hard.
• RYUSEI (8/5): -
• Nihan (10/5): Ideal location And also quiet - Good location, very convenient for sightseeing And also to go to the railway station, we had a very kind welcome, the room was clean and big and quiet at night to sleep. The umbrellas provided for the rainy days were very useful. Somehow none of our cards worked for the payment ( visa/mastercard from 3 different countries) and we had to pay in cash which was not very convenient for us. And also there was no hot water in the morning.
• Arguedas (9/5): Muy recomendado - La habitación era cómoda para las 4 personas, limpia y la cama confortable, su ubicación fue muy buena, cerca de la estación del tren y de las principales calles por lo que desplazarnos caminando y en bus fue muy fácil. Nada.
• David (8/5): -
• oliveros hincapié (8/5): - La ubicación es excelente, cerca de una de las zonas comerciales de Seoul. Todo ok
• Onur (10/5): tekrar gelsem yine burada kalırım. - konumu harikaydı Kore’deki diğer evlere göre gayet geniş ve yeterliydi içinde dolap var çamaşır makinası iyiydi yatak rahat ama nevresim sistemini begenemedim kolay çıkıyor yerinden duşa kötü demeyeceğim ama yeterliydi.
• Zing Ying (9/5): -
• Nugroho (10/5): - Strategic location, helpful staffs None
• Jaewoo (7/5): - Location Facilities
• saliha (10/5): - Merkeze çok yakın
• Vince (8/5): Excellent location. Staff were very friendly. Highly recommend this place - Great location
• 純純 (10/5): -
• Mark (4/5): Schade… - Das Zimmer hatte eine Waschmaschine und die Lage ist sehr gut um die Stadt zu erkunden. Schimmel. Dadurch ein unangenehmer Geruch im Zimmer. Das Bad gehört sehr dringend saniert! Das Bett hatte obenauf einen Topper aber keinen Bezug. Die Kissen empfand ich als unbequem. Einen Lichtschalter gab es nur an der Eingangstür des Zimmers. Der Fön wurde nicht warm.
• Anya (7/5): Lovely and affordable stay nice & close to the Myeongdong markets! - Very convenient and close to Myeongdong markets! Had great amenities like a microwave, washing machine, fridge! A lot of locker space too! Shower was small, no elevator!
• Sevcan, Elif, Aleyna (9/5): - Kesinlikle konumu mükemmeldi. Ve harika bir resepsiyon vardı.
• Karakaş (10/5): -
• Nor ilfa (7/5): Worth the money. - About 200m to Myeongdong station exit 3. Very convenient Room is small for group of 3 It would be better if the washing machine comes with English instructions . We cannot use it because it’s in Korean
• Teo (10/5): Nice and sweet stay - Everything is perfect for the price it offers. The only cons is that there is no lift.
• Valentina Ops (7/5): Ottimo per un soggiorno pratico a Seoul, se si è disposti ad adattarsi - La disponibilità del personale e la praticità dell' alloggio La camera è molto più piccola delle dimensioni indicate in mtq sul sito, l'assenza di un servizio di pulizia della camera durante il soggiorno
• juan (9/5): Si quieres acertar con el sitio este es el sitio . - Limpieza , ubicación , zona de cocina , staff. En general todo muy bien
• wan nur azila (8/5): Okk - Ok Ok
• sufen (9/5): - 位置適中 空間太小
• yuko (8/5): 親切 - 快適に過ごせました チェックアウト後の時間でもスーツケースを置かせてくださりとても助かりました。スタッフの方がとても親切でした なし
• Manfred (8/5): - Bunk beds Unable to organize airport taxi
• JANESSA (7/5): Its good - The location and staff are nice Too small but good for the price
• Prabhakar (1/5): - I suffered a mild head injury the day before and wrote to Zaza to say I would be arriving a day late. There was no reply. To my surprise, on my day of travel when I contacted them they said they had cancelled the entire stay. When I tried to make a new booking for the remaining three nights they said they were full. So a simple request to say I would be arriving a day late made tthem cancel and resell my room. This is unethical to say the least and I hope Booking will discipline them and ask for a refund.
• Carole (9/5): - Petit hostel très sympa dans un quartier très pratique. Self check in simple. Les machines à laver dans les chambres sont un plus ! La salle commune est bien équipée pour ceux qui souhaitent y manger. Les salles de bain devraient être rénovées un peu.
• Liana (8/5): - L’emplacement est super. Le personnel est adorable. Lendroit est calme et dispose de tous les équipements nécessaire. Bus et métro à côté. Les lits sont très dures. Depuis la chambre on voit tout dans la salle de bain et WC
• Kim (8/5): 편안한 숙소 - 좀 늦게 도착했는데 프린트물로 잘 설명이 되있어서 불편함없이 들어갔고요. 청결하고 생각보다 편안했어요. 아쉽다기 보단 4층이라 캐리어를 들고 올라가기 힘들었습니다ㅜ
• Soosan (10/5): -
• Khamsiah (8/5): -
• Elena (6/5): Senza ascensore, obsoleto; ottima posizione. - La posizione della struttura, che è ottima per due motivi: innanzitutto è vicinissima ad una delle fermate del bus che, dall'aeroporto di Incheon, ti porta in città (stazione di Myeongdong) . Secondo, trovandosi a Myeongdong, a qualsiasi ora si decida di uscire si trovano negozi e ristoranti aperti perché è situato in una zona molto centrale. Nonostante la posizione in zona molto frequentata, la struttura è leggermente defilata e questo permette di poter risposare senza rumori molesti. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile e se non presente, come quando abbiamo fatto il check-in, lascia istruzioni chiarissime per potersi muovere in autonomia. La struttura è obsoleta: le foto pubblicate, benché diano un'idea dell'alloggio piccolo, che mi andava benissimo, non rispecchiano per niente la stanza che ci è stata data. Il letto era "ballerino", la doccia presentava una tenda vecchia e non un vetro come in tutte le foto, il soffitto e le pareti erano sporchine e non splendenti come nelle foto, gli arredi vecchi con sportelli quasi pericolanti e, pecca enorme, da nessuna parte in descrizione c'è scritto che la struttura NON HA un ascensore. Con nostro grande disappunto e sorpresa, abbiamo dovuto salire a piedi due valigie da 23 chili al terzo piano. Non l'avrei mai scelto se avessi letto che non c'era l'ascensore: ho trovato questa informazione soltanto DOPO essere arrivata in struttura leggendo i commenti degli ospiti ma dovrebbe essere un'informazione importante riportata chiaramente tra le cose da sapere!! Purtroppo non lo sceglierò di nuovo!
• Bick Yuk (7/5): -
• betul (9/5): Very great value for what you receive. - The location is amazing. Only 2 minutes away from Myeongdong station and yet very quiet! There was a microwave, washing mashine and fridge in our room. Altough we did not use the washing mashine, it’s very convenient if you’re staying for long. The wardrobe is very big with more than enough hangers. Also we had the chance to heat leftovers for breakfast without leaving our room! Altogether it was such a great value for what you receive. Sheets could be cleaned more thoroughly
