Yeah, first time hostel and they have set the bar really high for me. I loved the owners so much, they are really nice people so the place really made me feel at home. You’re being put into a Whatsapp group chat with the other residents, and someone is always in the mood for sightseeing, dinner etc. So you can always join someone! The staff will also text you (privately or in the group) for recommendations nearby, but you can always ask for it if it’s not on the list. The location was perfect. Not too crowded but still close to Hongdae (walking distance). I’ve met so many people from all over the world and I had a blast! Thank you for everything!

Jina and Bryan were so helpful, particularly when they shared local information and setting up a SK SIM card at a really good rate

The location was excellent - close to all restaurants and nightlife/train station. The facilities and free breakfast were good. But what really sets this hostel apart from the rest that I have stayed with is the involvement of the hosts - very chilled, friendly and helpful. Offered recommendations in person and in the group chat on WhatsApp. The atmosphere was very family like and the common room and group chat was very sociable. Easy to meet new people and make dinner plans or activities during the day. Overall, I would highly recommend for solo travellers. Thanks Jina, Bryan and Jay and the rest of the ZZZIP guesthouse team. Your efforts are appreciated!

This hostel is one of my favourites from my trip in Asia. The staff are absolutely amazing. Plus free coffee, close to the metro, and laundry! The vibe and atmosphere of this hostel feels like home away from home, it’s a small hostel with a community vibe, everyone is helpful and it’s immediately comfortable. Also it’s right near the bars and university area, so people are going out together. An awesome place to meet people and enjoy the city

The dorm rooms don’t have curtains or much privacy but I’d give that up to stay here again because of how great the atmosphere is

Lovely communal vibe. There's a group chat where people post what they're up to in case others want to join. Most nights there's a dinner group going out. It's still easy to do your own thing, if you prefer that. Run by a professional and friendly small group of staff. They took me through the popular attractions and maps when I checked in. Comfortable, compact rooms with modern bathrooms. Not a party hostel. They don't mind guests having a good time but they're firm that social guests should take themselves closer to the shops after 11pm. Met lots of returning guests there. They loved it so much before that they made sure to come back.

Seriously can't think of anything to improve.

The awesome hosts Bryan and Jina, with their WhatsApp group chat for all the travelers is the best part of the hostel and is also what you’re paying for. They will help you with everything, talk with people in the common room and constantly hand out suggestions for what to do and where to eat. The people there are very nice as well, average age probably 25-27 who are very outgoing and always partying, but I guess that’s what most people come to Seoul for. Be aware that the restaurants the other tenants go to are a bit pricey if you’re the budget backpacker type that me and my friend were. Each 6-man dorm also has their own toilet and shower room which is nice. It’s located in Hongdae which is a great place for eating out and parting, as it’s where all the university students and alike live, but you will have to take 30 minutes by bus/subway to get to the sightseeing locations of central Seoul, luckily transport is incredibly cheap in South Korea :)

For the high price (around 35.000 won a day) for a hostel, the facilities aren’t super high end. It gets very hot in the dorms, and you can’t open the window since it’s right beside one of the tenants so they would basically be sleeping outside, and the same goes for the air con as that would blast one of the tenants. The door lock mechanism on each dorm is super loud and will definitely wake you up when someone enters or leaves the room, and sometimes goes into an alarm mode seemingly by random, but that can quickly be disabled. Curtains on each bed would also be nice but not necessary

The staff, especially Jina and Bryan were super helpful with recommendations in Seoul and South Korea overall. This was super helpful as I didnt have to do all the planning myself but could rely on the proven knowledge the hosts. The guesthouse had a great atmosphere to get to know other travellers and do activities together Location was great for going out and food as Hongdae is a very vibrant and young part of town. Facilities were nice and clean, the showerhead was the best Ive ever experienced.

Its not cheap for a guesthouse but you do get a lot for your money.

The hostel owners (Bryan and Jina) as well as Savannah and Becca were absolutely amazing! They were very friendly when I arrived at the hostel, and they helped me settle in! Also, I was given information on cool places to go and good restaurants to eat at. Furthermore, the rooms were sizable and the facilities were well-maintained and clean. Additionally, the other people in the rooms were nice and the vibe of the hostel was social, as there was a WhatsApp group and people often went to activities together. When I lost my phone, the hostel owners/staff allowed me to use their laptop to contact home and my bank, and gave me recommendations on where to buy a new phone. I can't thank them enough for this, and I would recommend others going on solo vacations to stay at ZZZIP Guesthouse! I will definitely be back.

Nothing.

We had a great time here! Jina and Bryan (the owners) were incredibly welcoming, kind and friendly. The hostel is extremely social and when we arrived we were immediately added to a Whatsapp group chat with all of the other guests, making it unbelievably easy to make friends. The location was exceptional for going out in the evenings, and there was also a metro station very close by which was convenient for exploring during the day. I could not recommend it enough!

The best hostel you could wish for, made me feel right at home. It's very close to the main street of Hongdae as well as Han river. The group chat for everyone staying there is a great feature, always quite active, not to mention everyday recommendations on what to see and where to go. Jina and Bryan are amazing at paying individual attention to each of the guests and helping them with whatever they need. I'm going to miss them and can't wait to be back, hopefully very soon. ^^
