Of all the hostels I've stayed in Seoul in my eleven visits, I must say that this is one of my favorites so far. Aside from the high ratings I've provided, this hostel gave me a lot of happy memories which I will really remember :) Special mention to the hardworking and friendly staff, Hye, for the exceptional services she extended during my stay :) Location - it is located a stone's throw away from Ehwa Women's University, and few blocks away from the subway station so this place is somehow strategic (lots of shops, cafe, restaurants around, although they close a bit early -- beginning 7:30 pm). Taxis also pass by the area regularly so it is also easy to get a ride when you need one. Bed - the room for the eight dorm beds is quite small, with a little space for everyone to walk in to so if you have big luggage, you need to store it in the common area outside the room (but it's safe, don't worry! There are CCTV cameras all over common areas). The dorm bed itself is quite spacious, though. If you have a small luggage, it can also fit beside the mattress. I don't like super soft mattress so the one that's provided is good enough for me. The only issue that I have is that I move a lot in sleep, and the mattress creates a sound like crumpling paper or plastic even in small movements haha! Breakfast - basic breakfast is offered, but is enough to fill you up for the morning grind (bread for toasting, eggs, cereals, milk, juice, coffee, tea). There are also basic cooking utensils in the dorm so if you feel like cooking basic meals, you can also do so. WIFI connection is also not an issue because common areas and even the rooms (and bathrooms!) have fast internet connection.
It's not that I didn't like, but just a comment so others would also have an idea to also set their expectations :) The facility is situated at the third floor of the building WITHOUT an elevator. So if you have a heavy luggage, it can get quite hard to bring it up in flights of staircases. Rooms are not 100% sound proof so some outside noise tend to seep in the doors/small open spaces under the door.

This is probably the best hostel that I've ever stayed! The toilets, bed and eating area were reasonably clean. The security was great as there're passcodes both for accessing the hostel and your room. There're enough toilets for everyone to use. There were some noise at night but it's acceptable and bringing a pair of earbud would help. The staff was very nice and responsive. The hostel is located near subway station - very convenient and you don't have to worry about safety too much when you go back to hostel at late night. Would definitely recommend this place to girls coming to Seoul on their own!
Nothing really.

This hostel is in a very ideal location, not too touristy, perfect during autumn, close to everything! They provide breakfast (cereal, eggs, tea, coffee, juice, milk, bread), towels, adaptor, shampoo, liquid soap. They also have hairdryers and the capsules are so spacey compared to the other ones I’ve stayed in. The first room I stayed has a bit narrow common middle space but I was transferred to another room since I requested a bottom bunk for the next half of my stay there and that room has a lot more space. The owner is very nice too, she let me leave my luggage there while I go to places outside Seoul, such a huge help to me, I’m very grateful~ My previous go-to accommodation closed down due to pandemic so I’m glad I found this new one! Will probably always stay here during my visits in Seoul from now onwards

All beds had dividers so there was privacy, staff also was very particular about guidelines that all had to observe which made things smooth as most of the people obeyed. There were laundry, hair dryer facilities available, breakfast was also good. Staff was super polite and helpful. Location is also decent, very accessible through subway and bus.
The place can get cluttered, particularly the bathrooms towards the end of the night and the morning as there are quite a number of people staying. Same with the kitchen sink and common room dust bins. Cleaning staff came around noon - 1 pm and the place was cleaned every day, but just tends to get quite cluttered at these times.

I recommend this location. The hostel could be found easily, Check-In was quick and without any difficulties. The curtains on the bunk beds provided great privacy! The beds were also very cozy. I felt especially relaxed as it was a women-only hostel. There were also enough bathrooms, hair-dryers and even towels provided. The breakfast was to my satisfication as well (toast, eggs, cereal, jam). The breakfast area is also a good spot to find new friends! I would book this hostel again.
Unfortunately, this time I had to share my room with a lady who started roaming around in the room at 4 am, slaming doors and creating much noice which woke me and my fellow roommates up various times a night. In addition, hostel staff sometimes started vaccuuming even before CO time, while leaving the door to my room open. This might be unfortune especially when you are still jetlagged BUT something that I always expect when booking a shared room instead of a hotel. So I am not too mad about it.

Location was amazing. Close to major transit lines and direct busses. It’s worth it to stay at this location. Manager and staff are really diligent on cleanliness here. As a female solo traveler, this was a great place to situate myself in Seoul. I actually felt the hostel was very safe and secured.
Noise Control. I didn’t like how some girls insisted on blow drying their hair past midnight or rummaging through their luggages inside the room in the middle of the night (1-3am) upon arrival. Also, putting their luggages on top of the beds. There are lockers underneath the bunkers for additional assurance.

This hostel is so clean! The bathrooms & common areas are cleaned regularly and cleaning supplies are available if you do want to clean them yourself, too. My dormitory was very clean, the bedding was soft and stain-free. Shower gel & shampoo is provided along with other toiletries available which previous guests kindly left behind. There are also shower shoes for each shower (communal) as well as your own personal pair of sliders. A small towel is provided once a day. Each bed has curtains around it for privacy. As with any hostel, I would recommend a sleeping mask & sleeping headphones/ear plugs, but generally the other guests were respectful in terms of light & noise. The location is absolutely fantastic. Close to Seoul Station (KTX) and very well connected so you can get around Seoul easily. 3 minute walk to the subway stop. Close to Hongdae which is known for its nightlife, shopping scene and restaurants. I have already booked my next visit!
Small bit of feedback: There is not enough space for luggage both inside the dormitory & outside in the corridors. There is only a small space in the dormitory to open your suitcase up and it blocks the other guests from walking around so I would advise planning ahead and making sure your case is extremely well organised. You want to be able to quickly grab packing cubes,

It’s very clean! Very close to Ewha University Women’s station which can bring you to lots of the main tourist places in just around 15 minutes! The street around the hostel was safe, clean and has a nice vibe with lots of coffee stores, cafe, accessory shops, convenience stores and even a vintage shop! The bed was comfortable and had lots of room to stay in. The toilets were always clean and stocked with everything needed. There is even a smoking area on the roof so this is nice as most places don’t have this.
The only downside is the steep ladder to the top bunk, which I personally had no problem with but if you are unsteady or find it difficult perhaps request a bottom bunk.

I came for Lee Joon Gi's fan meeting in Spring on 11 May 2024. Stay from May 10-12,checking out 13th. This stay was very close to the venue, Ewha Womans University within 5-10 mins walking distance only. Downstairs has many food and stalls. Rooms and toilets were clean. Many necessity items were being taken care of like adapter, scales, hairdryer, have many toilets and no need to queue. Washing machine is a great help and can hang dry at rooftop. No mosquitoes. Convenient locations to line 2. Breakfast is good enough for me, tea, instant coffee, eggs, milk and cereals. Staying in guests house or hostel has one advantage which is making new friends. I was happy for the stay. If I am attending Joon Gi's future fan meet at the same university, I'll stay here again.
The rooms are a bit dark with dim light. Luckily each bed has good lighting. If you want privacy and pull down the blind, it could be a little stuffy sometimes. Carpet floor was clean but has a bit of smell. Understandable if it's a carpet floor overtime. Staying in dormitory sharing with others could be a little inconvenient if you came back late, you worry to disturb others when you move, on the light or dealing with plastic bags, the sound was loud from plastic bag even I tried so hard to be gentle. To avoid disturbing other guests, you cannot stay out late if you want to use hairdryer and washing machine. Anyhow, the good covers these little imperfection.

I like the location it's near Ehwa University Subway and the school. It's very lively (students) with many coffee/shops. Daiso is also walking distance. Felt very safe walking alone and at night. Free breakfast but I didn't ate because I'm super early everyday. The bed is comfy. Amenities and free towel are provided everyday. Clean bathrooms and blower. All in all, I'll recommend this hostel for solo female travellers.
Some girls are still using hair dryer past the curfew and we can hear them in the room. Probably be strict on this but it's not the hostel's fault.
