• Mathilde (9/5): -
• chiara (5/5): - La posizione La camera e il bagno erano sporche. Portatevi un lucchetto dietro sennò non potete chiudere la porta della stanza
• Muriel (10/5): -
• GUKIL (6/5): -
• 黃 (3/5): - 離弘大地點算滿近的 真的很髒亂 評論都是真的 本來因為比較便宜所以就訂了這間 但看到check in 櫃檯就嚇到了…很陰暗又髒亂 硬著頭皮入住 塑膠的室內拖鞋看起來也都沒洗 幸好有帶自己的拖鞋 再來我每次浴室出來都快跌死 只要有一點點水就會超滑

• Dorian (10/5): -
• Daksh (2/5): - The wifi is never working. Staff is not concerned at all. The rooms are very small and crampy. There are no locks to any of the room doors. Location is not good at all.
• Leilane (1/5): Dirty, uncomfortable, dirty - So so dirty, the beds have no curtains so 0 privacy, the mattress so thin and uncomfortable, the toilets wouldn’t flush so I had to pee on someone else’s shit… (also the toilets are not separated by gender). Also there’s no blinders so the room gets pretty bright in the morning. It was my worst hostel experience ever

• Wai Ling (6/5): -
• maisie jin dao (6/5): -
• MYO MIN (1/5): - Basically none Cramped, poorly ventilated rooms Clogged toilets No water, shower gel Pay a little more and you can stay at better places!
• Tae Yeon (1/5): - 위치만 좋음 고객 맞이할 준비가 안되어 있다
• Fecky (10/5): -
• Preeyanut (1/5): จะไม่กลับไปพักอีกแน่นอน เข็ดแล้ว - ที่พัก เสียงดังมาก ลูกค้าคนอื่นเปิดประตูห้องคุยกันเสียงดัง เปิดเพลงเสียงดังไม่เกรงใจคนอื่นเลย ไม่มีความเป็นส่วนตัว ห้องน้ำ สกปรกมาก โสโครกเลยก็ว่าได้
• Daniel (5/5): Okayish. Like its a Hostel so its not suppose to be a hotel quality but no wifi and bathroom was bad - The Staff was kind and friendly, there was adequate space for luggage Wifi was non existent and bathroom were gross, the sink was clogged for example
• Mike (4/5): Big clean - Staff is good, good location for party Is little bit dirty, the bed was not cumfy, little disappointed
• 주영 (1/5): 내가 어디까지 긍정적인 사람 일 수 있을지 궁금하다면 이곳에서 시험해보세요!(부제: 불란서 안가봤는데, 안가도 괜찮을 것 같아요) - 칠레출신 스태프는 굉장히 예의바르고 친절했으나 곧 떠난다고 합니다. 골목초입이 굉장히 가파른 급경사라는 점을 제외하면 역에서 굉장히 가까운 편입니다. 경사집인 전 투썸옆에 슈퍼가 있고, 갈림길에는 편의점도 있기때문에 물, 음식 등 필요한 것을 구매하기에 용이합니다. 오로지 동선의 효율성+돈을 절약하는 면만 생각한다면 위치만큼은 좋은편입니다. 일정이 출발 8시간 전 급하게 정해진 상태에서 원래 가던 호스텔의 도미토리가 만실이라 예약을 했는데 주말인데도 빈 침대가 넉넉했습니다. 바닥 난방은 굉장히 잘 해줍니다. -내국인 보다는 외국인을 타겟으로 한 숙소 인 것 같습니다.- 다른 내국인 후기들을 살펴보면 코로나 이전에는 사장님이 관리를 하셨던 것 같은데 지금은 그 후기들의 사진과 상태가 많이 다릅니다. 여럿이 지내는 곳과 개인실은 비교대상이 될 수 없기에 제가 지내보았던 비슷한 가격대의(1박 2만원대 중반~ 3만원 후반사이) 다른 도미토리들을 기준으로 평균 이하인 점, 불편했던 점들을 적었습니다. 화장실 세면대가 매우 작습니다. 일반적인 세면대의 절반 대지는 1/3 정도의 크기인 것 같습니다. 욕실 환경이 전체적으로 굉장히 열악합니다. 따뜻한 바닥+굉장한 흙먼지의 환장의 콜라보입니다. 청소기를 돌리는지조차 모르겠습니다. 침구가 굉장히 축축하고 끈적했습니다. 이불이 닿는 감촉이 소름끼쳐서 저는 그냥 제 외투를 덮고 잤습니다. 바닥이 따뜻한 것과 별개로 전면창(커튼으로 가려져있음)으로인해 외풍이 있어, 침대위는 좀 춥습니다.(같은 날 남자방에 묵은 분은 상의를 탈의하고 지내시는 것으로보아 이점은 개인차가 있을 것 같습니다.) 방에 도어락이 별도로 달려있는 것에는 이유가 있는 겁니다. 새벽에 자는데 누가 누르길래 룸메인줄 알았는데 문이 열리지 않더라구요, 등골이 서늘했습니다. *굉장히 시끄럽습니다. 11시경 편의점 다녀오는 길, 경찰분이 오시길래 문앞에서 잠시 기다렸다가 여쭈어보니 음악소리와 크게 소리지는 문제로 주변에서 민원이 자주 들어온다고 하셨습니다. 개인적 경험을 바탕으로, 베를린에서 제일 잘 나간다는 클럽 앞보다 여기가 더 시끄러웠습니다. 이 주변은 주거지라 매우 고요합니다. 소리지르면서 입성해 복도를 소리지르며 뛰어가는 소리, 밖에서 소리지는 소리(게하 이용하는 사람 혹은 직원이), 내가 머무는 방의 도어락을 열려고 시도하는 이 소리, 이 중 하나가 한시간에 한번 꼴로 일어나는 곳에서 깨지 않고 잘 수 있는 사람이 얼마나 될지 모르겠으나 그런거 신경안쓰고 오로지 '저렴하게 역세권에서 하룻밤 묵는것'이 목표인 사람에게는 나쁜선택지가 아닐지도 모르겠네요.
• Buje (7/5): The staffs were nice, location is perfect. Maybe focus on cleansiness - The atmosphere and the opportunity to meet new people Little bit uncomfortable
• YiMing (3/5): -
• Chotika (1/5): -
• Jaavuo (7/5): - Le lit et l emplacement Les toilettes qui se bouchent tout le temps, il n y a pas de Pq , douche mixée avec toilettes sans séparation, chasse d eau qui ne marche pas , paraît vétusté
• Jaejeong (10/5): -
• Daniel (9/5): - In the bathroom, It was very inconvenient to take a shower because there was nothing to secure the shower head.
• Ali (10/5): -
• Maryse Laurent (6/5): - Good location, friendly travellers and staff Unsatisfactory cleanliness, there was still trash in the room from previous occupants, clogged toilets, bugs in the reception area.
• Ali (10/5): -
• Hugo (8/5): Hostel - Is in best part of seoul Well it's a hostel so it's crowded but that's what you expect
• 劭威 (8/5): -
• Yihsuan (2/5): -
• Jamie (7/5): -
• Sean (8/5): Basic hostel but good if you're looking for a sociable stay and to go out in Hongdae. - Really sociable hostel - good if you want to go out in Hongdae. If you're there on Friday, they organise a hostel bbq trip which is great to meet people. Very friendly staff who are mostly volunteers. Rooms are very basic - no curtains on beds. Not many bathrooms so you might have to wait a bit in the morning for one. Be prepared for people coming back late in the night/very early morning into dorm rooms.
• Paradise Traveller (1/5): Prison with Pay Very Bad Place - If you want to experience prison out of prison so can stay here i have visited more than 20 countries and stayed in many hostels and this one is my life's worst bad dirty ugly hostel i will never recommend to my enemy this hostel i have nothing to like i just don't like everything dirty ugly place bad beds bad room bad toilet bad place bad doors bad windows bad ac bad charging plugs bad handles bad place to keep shoo no drinking water no blanket
• Narina (10/5): Decent hostel in good location. - The reviews for this place are a bit harsh in my opinion. We arrived shortly after everyone got back from BBQ and it was a good time to have a drink and socialise in the bar area, drinks are well priced. The actual hostel is quiet enough and the facilities are fine. Really it's the location that's great and I think that's a good enough reason to stay. Shout out to Glenn/Glyn for helping us get out of bed 🫠
• Shehzad (1/5): -
• Gabriela (8/5): Decent stay - • very good location • nice staff • not the cleanest place • very small room (the one with 4 beds) • very bad internet
• Paul (6/5): - The location was great. The WiFi didn't work and there was nobody around to help.
• George (8/5): -
• stefan (3/5): Old and dirty place - Central Location, Not too expensive Very dirty, you wouldnt want to use the bathroom, in my Case there was in top a non Stop coughing Guy in the 4 bed room. Worst night in my entire stay in Seoul. Even for the price: dont Go there!
• seouljake (10/5): Still my go-to hostel in Seoul! - I have written positive reviews on this hostel before. It's my go-to hostel in Seoul since 2024.
• seouljake (10/5): My go-to hostel in Seoul! - I always stay here when visiting Seoul! Conveniently located near Hongdae and Shinchon. The beds and facilities are clear. A great vibe. A good mix of backpackers, digital nomads and tourists. Also, storing luggage is very convenient. And management is very chill.
• Alice (7/5): Auberge très bien située et avec un bon rapport qualité / prix. - Auberge très bien située et avec un bon rapport qualité / prix. Le personnel est aussi très sympa. Je pense que c'est un bon endroit pour faire des rencontres si on voyage seul. Les équipements sont un peu vétustes et la propreté n'est pas parfaite, mais pour le prix, la localisation etc. c'est tout à fait ok.
• Tom (8/5): -
• Sairakhmon (1/5): This is not a hostel, but some kind of madhouse. Guests are noisy until late, drinking, shouting... And the bed linen is - This is not a hostel, but some kind of madhouse. Guests are noisy until late, drinking, shouting... And the bed linen is so dirty it stinks. I do not recommend it! This is not a hostel, but some kind of madhouse.

• Alexander (6/5): Pleasant -
• Abbes (7/5): Good -
• Cameron (4/5): Not a party, barely social. No activities - Close to the metro, I did meet people in my dorm luckily Nothing Party about it. Literally the least social hostel I’ve been too. The reception is the ‘common area’ which plays elevator music and no one goes down there. I also think 10% fee for card payments is a bit of a joke. It is advertised but with 10% added there are better places for the same price.
• James (1/5): Don’t stay here - Not too much tbh The room was small didn’t have a proper lock on it. I had to ask for a lock no towel got woken up to a machinery next door .People slamming doors all night the shared bathroom was next to my room and people were having showers every 5 mins all night slamming the door. People yelling and talking at 4 am in the hall way . The staff felt to me uninviting. I tried to talk they didn’t say anything to me.
• Kangrui (1/5): It sucks - This hostel is so bad that I have to book a hotel after my first night here. Dirty and noisy
• Tracy (10/5): This a my chosen family now and forever❤️ - DREAM TEAM AT THE TTP✨️✨️✨️ From the very first moment I met Maka, Flo, Manon, Lenia, and Maria, I knew I was in the hands of something truly special. Their warmth is not just surface-level friendliness—it’s the kind of genuine, vibrant energy that immediately makes you feel at ease and right at home. Each of them radiates a kindness and sociability that is rare to come by, yet what truly sets them apart is how seamlessly they combine that with sheer professionalism. Maka has a calming presence and an intuitive sense of how to make people feel heard and valued. She exudes grace and carries out her role with a quiet confidence that instantly inspires trust. Flo brings a spark of fun to every interaction—bright, witty, and full of life. Yet behind that joyful energy lies someone who takes their responsibilities seriously and never misses a detail. Manon is a true gem—approachable, always ready to lend a hand, and full of positivity. Her ability to connect with people is unmatched, and she does it all while maintaining a high level of professionalism that never wavers. Lenia is the definition of poise and purpose. She has an eye for excellence and a heart full of compassion. Whether it’s handling a challenge or simply greeting you with her warm smile, Lenia does it with intention and care. Maria ties it all together with a natural charisma and unwavering dedication. She has an exceptional ability to make everyone feel welcome, yet she leads with strength, clarity, and a deep sense of responsibility for her work. Together, they are not just a team—they are a family who uplift everyone around them. They create an atmosphere that is simultaneously inviting and efficient, where you can laugh, relax, and know you're in excellent hands. Their ability to balance friendliness with diligence is truly remarkable. Whether you're a guest, a colleague, or a passerby, interacting with Maka, Flo, Manon, Lenia, and Maria is a five-star experience in itself. None!
• Izzy (6/5): Pleasant - Good location, get what you pay for, social, great staff No lockers, not the cleanest, no privacy and not enough space or toilets for the amount of guests
• Ido (10/5): Exceptional - The staff was the best staff ever!
• Nozomi (1/5): Bad - None everything durty. Entrance, floor, room,
• Symeon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jacob (3/5): Look, $20 is $20 you get what you pay for but deadass stay somewhere else - Nothing lol The bedroom in the 8(?) person dorm sucked so bad I left early
• Chantelle (10/5): AMAZING STAY! Highly recommend! - Good sociable vibes and friendly helpful staff. Location is a little far out from the main attractions of Seoul but easily connected to good transport links so it’s all good
• Sam (1/5): Not good - Run down Not cleaned regularly No bedroom locks No bunk curtains Bathroom taps loose Not social Bathroom floor always wet Loose toilet seats
• Cillian (10/5): Exceptional - Had an amazing time here. So many good vibes. I felt so welcome during my stay. The manager was so kind when we went for Korean bbq. Flo and Maka were the best
• Brock (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elliott (4/5): Disappointing -
• Benjamin (3/5): NO PARTY Hostel - Nothing factually It is not a party hostel at all. Once you are inside the facilities its just rooms where you sleep. The common room is at the basement where you have to go outside for that. And there you find the reception/bar/laundry table at one (1 meter) and the common room has bar table in the middle for 4 persons and maybe a few chairs around that table but thats it
• Louis-dardaye (6/5): Pleasant - Well located but facilities are strict minimum. Very hot water in the shower so that’s good in winter. Main problem: smell mold (common problem everywhere in Séoul) and not the most cleaned hostel. Otherwise it’s decent if you’re on a low budget. Location again is very convinient
• Dr. (8/5): Very good -
• Gary (10/5): Good hostel in Hongdae. - Warm, comfortable place to stay. I had strong wifi and hot water for shower. The owner was so kind to me. He showed me several good restaurants near this hostel. I really like local Korean one with Bibimbab and other fried chicken restaurant. Reception is closed after midnight and open again from 9am.
• Cathy (10/5): Good place to meet people. - It is a good place to meet people . Their staff were all kind and helpful. It has perfect location in Hongdae. Well, okay for me.
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Αγγελική (4/5): I think you can find party hostels that are cleaner and better value. - The only good thing was that its a very social place. Staff was polite Dirty room, dirty bathroom. There is not even a shower in tne bathroom
• Frances (8/5): Very good -
• Heather (3/5): Convenient location but not worth the price - Location was good The room and shared bathroom were not very clean at all. The bedding was ripped. There wasn't very many bathroom facilities considering the number of people that were staying there, so the bathroom was often full.
• Ritter (3/5): Poor -
• Yousef (1/5): Bad -
• Kherchouche (10/5): Exceptional - Very well positioned, the staff is very nice and funny
• Yehonatan (1/5): Awful place—avoid at all costs! - Nothing, terrible place The place was awful! It smelled terrible, and there was dust everywhere. The staff was rude and dismissive when I mentioned I was allergic to dust—they just said it was my problem and insisted they “clean” the room every day, which was clearly not true. I had to leave, and they refused to refund me. The sheets were dirty, the bed was incredibly uncomfortable, and there wasn’t even a spot to hang a towel in the shower. Terrible experience overall!
• Yehonatan (1/5): Terrible, dont go there!! Better to sleep in the street. - Nothing, it was terrible Everything, it smells terrible!! There’s dust everywhere.The staff is not nice. I’m allergic to dust and I told them that, and they just told me it’s my problem and they “clean” the room everyday, which is obviously not right. I couldn’t stay there of course and they didn’t refund me. The sheets are not clean, the bed is not comfortable at all. There’s no place to put your towel in the shower.
• Benjamin (6/5): Pleasant -
• Tony (9/5): Felt at home along way from home. - The hostel was exactly what you want as a solo traveler, Good vibes, good spot, and not too crowded. N/a
• Andrea (7/5): Great location but a little bit shabby - Location is great, close to restaurants, cafes, bars and public transport! The Friday night BBQ is a great way to meet others in the hostel. Staff were helpful with questions, and the man I think was the owner is lovely! The place is pretty run down. A bit of a freshen up would go a long way with some fresh paint and a deep clean of the bathrooms. The pillows and mattresses seem quite old and thin.
• Dominic (6/5): Pleasant - Even on the first floor you can't really hear the people downstairs in the lobby. Still would recommend earplugs so you don't wake up when someone enters the room. There are lockers for 1000 won which is a fair price I think. The staff was pretty helpful and nice and the people staying there too. The street around it has a certain smell. There should be at least some type of curtain or something for a bit more privacy in the beds. Could be a bit more modern, getting the power outlets to work isn't easy since they barely hold the plug. I think only the female rooms had their own door lock.
• Will (4/5): Not a party hostel. Misleading. - Location was okay. Was relatively cheap compared to others. M25, 4-bed dorm. 3 night stay. For a "party hostel" it was totally dead. And the volunteers did not help to engage in fun times. Instead, they were doing the laundry in the common area. No music. Bad chairs. Basically one usable table. It was just bad because it was not as advertised. Bathrooms were pretty bad. No storage in the rooms for clothes/bags.
• Rory (3/5): If I could travel back in time and book at Zzzip guesthouse I would… - The beds were quite comfy and the ac in the rooms was very good as always was cold. - advertised as a party hostel but the entire time I stayed there I hardly encountered any other guests. - the only communal area is at the reception desk and is not that inviting. The seats are quite uncomfortable and the vibe was also not very social. Often there would be nobody at the bar area and people would not come to join as it was always very empty. - there was no locks on the doors so nothing to stop people coming in and out of the room. - toilets and showers were also quite cramped and you needed to duck a bit.
• Jeremy (10/5): Good location, very good place to meet people! - Perfect location so close from the airport train. Also there a lot of restaurants and bars near from this hostel. I don't wanna complain!
• Cathy (10/5): Awesome! - Perfect location, only 5 min walking distance from airport metro and city metro. Their Saturday BBQ was great. Very good place to meet people from all around the world. Staff really do their best to keep this hostel well maintained but sometimes the toilets are dirty. When I asked to clean it again, they did it immediately by the way.
• Tomás (10/5): Great party hostel - Amazing party hostel. Good beds, good atmosphere. Good location Nothing
• Stacy (10/5): Cozy and perfect location - This hostel has the right location to roam around , party or shopping. Also there are lovely staffs who helped me out. It was good to go out for Friday dinner night together as I could get to know more people even I don't stay there on Friday. I need heaps of time to think about it.lol
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Raymond (5/5): Passable - The bed was firm, which is what I like. There isn't really much keeping your door closed and secured while you are in the room, which was unsettling since you're pretty vulnerable while sleeping or utilizing the bathroom
• Trần (2/5): Very poor - Cheap The toilet was out of order with full of you-know-what so we have to change hostel immediately.
• Alessa (3/5): Poor - Good location, mattresses not too uncomfortable for South Korea. Room was a mess, air con didn’t work, toilet was broken, only 3 toilets for 30+ people, bathrooms always gross and completely wet. Walls were paper thin and could hear everything all night.
• Emre (5/5): Passable - staff was kimd cleaning and the bathrooms are really bad
• Mikael (7/5): Good -
• Desmond (2/5): Just stay somewhere else, I live with 4 other college guys in a messy house and this was rediculous. Spend the extera 10 - Good location It was nasty, ac didn’t work, there’s filth in every corner. On the bed frame corners there was a large pile of filth and dust, and in my room there was an outlet next to my pillow that had a used bandage on it. Soap ran out and was not replaced.
• Alberto (9/5): Superb -
• Alberto (9/5): Superb -
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Top. Great.
• Lucas (10/5): Exceptional - The location was very good and the staff were very friendly and very helpful. The place was always very clean and organized. The bed was not very comfortable but for the price it was very good.
