I loved the location it was a super quick walk to most things and if it wasn't it was super close to the train stations and bus stops so super convenient. I also loved the little hangout areas and the view from that section on the 11th floor was unmatched. Super nice to sit and eat your dinner and look out over the city.

I wish there was more than 1 toilet for the 6 people in the room, it would be good even if there was one in the hallway incase the one in the room is in use. Was kinda weird that its unmanned so that meant leaving your bag behind the desk but no one is actually watching it. Although to get into the area you need a code for the door so I still found it safe.

The location was excellent! Great view of the stream!! The building was neat, and clean and was in a very foody area, even with a 7-11 downstairs and a GS-25 a short walk! The building was quiet from the street (in the room where you sleep) in the common space it was noisy with the window open. The common space was super lovely too, that's what made me book. Overall great experience with the comfortability of my stay

Communication between staff and guests wasn't that good, replies took a long time and the self-check-in was confusing for others as I had to help another guest "check-in". You emailed them a picture of your passport page as "evidence" of checking in which felt very odd to me. The room was nice, however, the few of the females staying there had no concept of quiet time and were blow-drying their hair at midnight, past the quiet time hours, and this happened every single night. Not having breakfast service wasn't an issue for me, it just would have been nice to have a coffee machine! No laundry service either, unless you're a long-stay guest and it was all very hush-hush.

Cleanliness,Location,Safe, Read Below.. Tidiness and cleanliness is superb. We stayed for 2 weeks and they literally cleaned everyday (emptying our bin was a must for us). They change bedsheet every 3days. We arrived at almost 1am and the owner gave very detailed instructions. The hostel smelllssss so good and the owner is very particular with tidiness. Although we had a private triple room, we were still able to use the common area both 10 and 11th floor. On nights were we opted not to dine out, we just bought food at 7/11 downstairs and have it in the quiet shared lounge. It had a great view and were complete of kitchen applicances/utensils. As we stayed on a long term, the owner allowed us to use the laundry (free)and dryer (5k won) which was really helpful for us as we did not want to bring back a luggage just full of dirty clothes and we were able to reuse some of our already worn clothes in the first few days. All doors to each floor has digital locks so very safe. Although the room was a bit small for us to move around since we had at least 3 large suitcasws and 2 medium ones, the room size was considerable. Location was perfect. The area is where long alley of restaurants in Seoul open late so u will never ho hungry for a proper sit down food at 12mn. Closest station is only 2 stops from Seoul Station. Around 10-15mins walk to myeongdong. Also close to so many bus stops. Next to Cheonggyecheon stream- its 11km long and is great for a lovely afternoon or evening walks.

Bed wasnt so comfortable i wish they were better. Guess we were all not used to hard foam bed. Okay for short stay but not for long term as you can feel its not great :) The beddings though were still neat and clean. I asked for 2hrs late checkout as we were really struggling to packup but we were declined immediately bec it needs to cleaned considering new customers (checkout at 10am check in at 2pm) I wish we were at least given even 30mins which would have been appreciated.

If you have never stayed at a hostel before, this is the one. It's my first time at a hostel and I dare say it is much better than a lot of cheap hotels or guesthouses. Given the same budget, sure there are some cheap rooms around Seoul, but Hostel Haru offers a much better alternative. Just be considerate and everyone will be happy! Everything are just like the photos: Clean, well equipped, comfortable. Great location as well, there are 3 convenience shops nearby and lots of restaurants. Also not far away from Gyeongbokgung and Myeong-dong, a quick subway/bus ride will do.

There's nothing to complain about:)

Central location,even though the address guidance showed the wrong “entrance/side of the building”. The bed was nice, with a small flatscreen, however I didn’t use it. The lockers didn’t work, but it felt safe. There came a guide and claimed he was picking up a tourist, and then he wanted to use the bathroom. I of course declined, as it was a room for women… a bit odd and also scary, that you have to think about who you are letting in the door.

The noise from the bathroom was very loud. From the doors, the ventilation, the hairdryer… to general noise, maybe a little “sound work” would help.

The place is super modern and super clean. There is a quiet atmosphere. It's on the 10th floor so little to no outside noise. Self check-in with the door codes works well. The neigborhood is cool, downstairs is the 7 11, and in the neighboring streets there is lots of food places and also bars. Also walking distance from the Myeongdong shopping district. The metro is closeby.

The place was super quiet, which I liked but the last 2 nights I was alone in the 8 bed room. The privacy was nice but sometimes I would have liked some roommates to talk to. There is also very little staff there, I only saw the cleaners. It was no problem for me though.

The design was very pretty, a relaxing space to enjoy after a flight or a city stroll. We stayed 3 nights - and loved it! The location was excellent to discover the city and taking strolls, the room comfortable, the bed very hard. We loved that there was shower gel / shampoo / conditioner - everything smelling so nice! On the 10th floor you could get filtered water and sit in the lounge enjoying the views...

The check in process was a bit "unpersonal" - send us a picture of the passport :D at the same time it is very efficient! Thank you so much, Hostel Haru!

I like everything about Hostel Haru! I stayed here for the 2nd time and definitely would come back again if I’m traveling solo to Korea next time :) The cleanliness is fantastic, there are a lot of convenient stores nearby (and also restaurants)! Transportation is also fantastic as the trains stations are very close by.

Nothing from the Hostel side, but more on the people who shared room with me. They were very noisy in the early mornings (unpacking inside the room etc.)

Rooms are on the small side but cozy all the same, room was very clean and cleaners were very good and efficient and cleaned our room every day to a high standard . Kettle, tea and fridge is really useful in the room. There is a nice shared space where you can make basic food and drinks. Hostel was very quick to reply on messenger and helpful. They also let us check in early one day which was great. Make sure you read the messages before you arrive as alot of passcodes for different doors. Overall a very good stay and we stayed twice during our trip 😊
