    City of Seoul is huge. This was a great location, it felt very center to everything but also very calm. Room was really clean, I really liked how they came in to clean the room daily and provided clean towels and water bottles daily. The room itself was pretty small, but if you are looking for a place to literally just sleep in, this was a nice hostel. The building also made you feel very safe

    The size of the bed is a little small for me, it's a little hard to turn around without hitting the bed-saver iron pole, besides I get the upper bed which is a little hard for me to climb up. Besides those two, this hostel is very nice.

    Clean and Silent. Many Resto around hostel. Wifi fast, and very big lounge also have microwave and refill water. The owner of Haru so kind that helped me to order taxi.

    All good. No breakfast

    The hostel is operated by e-mail/code passes so you won’t see any staff. The hostel operates efficiently though. Rooms are clean, beds comfy and towels are provided. Showers are clean and hot, toiletries are nice. The hostel is Located close to the 7/11 by the stream. The hostel is well located for Jonggak Subway 2mins walk away. Main tourist sights are close by foot - palaces, stream and Avenue of Youth. I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Seoul.

    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 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.

    Love this accommodation. I have stayed here twice now, and both times have been great. The rooms are spacious for 2 people the beds are comfortable. The views from the rooms are stunning. Great location, a few minutes walk to the closest bus or train station. Common area has hot water, a toaster, and an area you can sit and enjoy the area. There is a convenience store on the ground floor and lots of great restaurants to eat at.

    My charger kept falling out because the holes for the pins are diagonal. I made it work with some creative thinking. Some days the salad bar was closed except for coffee and Juice.

    The location is great! The rooms are small but comfortabel and it is easy to check in and out. It was not too noisy and the bed was good. Would go back

    Rooms could have been more spacious

    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 😊

    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.

    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.

    Throughout my entire stay, i did not see one staff to greet or assist. Every entrance was digital and as long as you have the code, you can access the floor/room.

    The facilities are gorgeous and everything is digital; the room is clean and organized, feel a bit small with all 4 beds occupied but not too crowded. The little lounge area on my floor is exactly as pictured and it was great at night to sit there and read

    It would be better if there was stuff on site. I had to wait one day until they unlocked my safe. Unfortunately the curtains are thin and just decoration. My roommate kept her light on every night and the curtains didn’t block any of the light. As mentioned in other reviews, the hostel is not social.

    Great location to explore the city. Very modern, clean and comfortable hostel.
