It’s one of best hostels I have stayed in. Close enough to Myeongdong but not in Myeongdong, spotlessly clean and free water offered daily. The only issue for some is that the beds are rock hard and pillows super soft/flat. If that’s ok with you then it’s a fantastic hostel

I stayed at hostel haru for my solo trip for 7 nights. I felt safe as a lone girl. The amenities were clean, water pressure was great. I could even do my laundry before heading home. The best thing about this hostel is that it is super convenient to places like Anguk, ikseon dong and insadong. I found myself walking to these places instead of taking the train. There are at least two train lines within 10 minutes walk as well. My favourite activity was walking at the cheongyecheong stream at night to digest my dinner. Would totally stay here again!

The location was excellent and one of the main reasons I chose this hostel. It was within a 20-minute walk of Myeongdong, which made getting around very convenient. The hostel was reasonably clean and housekeeping came every day. However, cleanliness was not always at a high standard. The tables often looked like they had not been wiped down, and the floors were not as clean as they appeared at first glance. The bathrooms and shower rooms seemed to be cleaned regularly, though. I was also disappointed that there was only one washing machine available for all guests. During my stay, it was constantly in use, so I was unable to do any laundry. For a hostel that attracts many long-term travelers, additional washing machines or a booking system would be a significant improvement. Another issue was the bed mattress. It squeaked loudly whenever I moved or turned over, sometimes enough to wake me up during the night. Finally, after checking out, I received a follow-up email written only in Korean. Since the hostel caters to international travelers, providing emails in English as well would create a better guest experience. Overall, the location was great and the stay was comfortable enough, but there are several areas where the hostel could improve.

It was a nice hostel and the room has great aircon, mine had a nice view and it’s pretty close to the river. The only draw back is they’re mostly staff-less so you have to do your own check in and email them your passport. They also don’t have secure luggage storage. You just leave it behind an unmanned desk which everyone has access to. There’s also stairs of you’re staying up on the 12th floor with no lift option.

Property was in a great location, very close to jong bak station. It was also fairly close to the major tourist attractions of seoul. Unfortunately, i wasnt a fan of the self check in process. You need to enter sets of codes to get into the building, then the floor then the room. This meant having to remember the codes or pull them out everytime. Because of the format of the stay, i actually didn't meant any hotel staff besides the cleaner therefore that whole hospitality feeling went missing for me over here. I also stayed solo here and got a private room(single room.) I found it difficult to speak to other travellers, the social room could have been better, staggering across 2 floors i don't think works well, more social things at the stay would have been nicer. Looking back, i would've tried to find a more socialable hostel instead with actual people.

Das Zimmer ist klein und leider sehr hellhörig. Man hört sogar, wenn im Nebenzimmer der Toilettensitz heruntergeklappt wird. Das Bett ist sehr hart. In meinem Zimmer war ein Mini-Fenster unter der Decke, dass sich leider nicht verdunkeln ließ. Auch außerhalb des Hotels ist es oft sehr laut. Hierfür fand ich den Preis pro Nacht zu hoch.

Amei e recomendo.

Uma das melhores experiências em hostel que já tive. Muito seguro, limpo, bonito. Pedi cama inferior e consegui. O colchão era meio fino, não foi muito confortável pra mim, mas foi só isso. Os banheiros são limpos, 2 chuveiros e 1 vaso para 8 camas. O lounge é legal, tem um espaço bom pra trabalhar, mas os bancos cansam muito as costas e a temperatura é um pouco fria demais - passei horas lá trabalhando sozinha, tava congelando, e a gente não tem acesso ao controle da temperatura. Tem agua fria e quente à vontade. Tudo é automatizado, o prédio, a porta de entrada, a porta do quarto. É bom, mas também é bastante impessoal, você nunca encontra ninguém, só a menina da limpeza à tarde. A localização é muito boa, fácil de ir pra qualquer lugar.

快適でした

8人部屋に泊まりました。 部屋にシャワー室は2つ、トイレが1つ、洗面台が2つありました。清潔感がありとても良かったです。シャワーのタイミングが重ならないように私は夕方早めの時間にシャワーしていました。シャワーはずっと出しっぱなしだと冷たくなってしまったので、こまめに止めていました。トイレはホステル入り口の外にもビルのトイレがありましたので、誰かが使用中はそちらに行ったりしました。 共用スペースには電子レンジ、トースター、お湯も出るウォーターサーバー、自由に飲めるお茶などありました。お湯の出し方の説明を見ても分からなかったのでメールで問い合わせたらすぐに見にきてくれました。 8人部屋だと物音など気にされる人には向かないと思いますが、私は快適に過ごすことができました。 明洞や安国までは歩いて行けました。 駅は1号線にも2号線にも近かったです。バス停も近くにあったので助かりました。
