Disliked: Amenities
A/C was too small, didn’t cool the room enough. Woke up sweating, sheets had stains
My girlfriend and I stayed at the YaKorea hostel in Hongdae during our first visit to Seoul in June 2018. We found out when we got there that the amenities are shared with the nearby Kimchee Sinchon Guesthouse, which was also where we checked in. The staff were very professional, friendly and even showed us around Hongdae. Akira and Dan were very accommodating and friendly.
I would definitely come again and recommend both YaKorea and Kimchee to friends and family. Thank you everyone for showing us such a good time! We made memories we will never forget.

Nice and quite
Clean and quiet. Walking distance from a Hongik Uni subway station. Five storey hotel but without lift.
A very worn out hostel. The room is big but bit smelly. Noisy at night when neighbour talked and laughed loudly after midnight. Not so clean, found hair on the bed. Towels and bed sheets are old. Around 10 mins walk from hongdae exit 4, quite quiet and dark nearby at night.

Went to South Korea with my sister. It was good location close to Subway, shopping area, good place for short stay
I stayed in this hostel/guesthouse for 3 nights. The room was on the 5th floor. No elevator. The bathroom was small. It was a basic room and much smaller than the other rooms in the guesthouse. The reason I know this is because on the first night i befriended a fellow traveler and we spent time together talking and drinking. Well the reason I am writing this negative review mainly was because of the way I was treated on my 3rd night. I was out all day sightseeing and I came back to the hotel around 12am at night. As I was walking up the stairs I was rudely yelled at and told to come into the office. I found out later the worker was the manager at Yakorea and Kimchee guesthouse hostel nearby. He told me to stop talking to the guest I met on the first night because she complained about me. Well he didn't even bother to ask me the whole story. This girl was very flirty and hanging out with me on the first night with her and her friend. But apparently when her boyfriend found out that I was in her room and hanging out with them then she had to "justify" it by making an excuse that i was bothering her to management. I really didn't know the reason why she didn't hang out with me on day 2 or 3 but now i know why. I didn't appreciate being yelled at and ridiculed by a manager that didn't even know the story. I really wished he would of been more on my side because he lost my business for the rest of the week. I planned on staying at Yakorea until Friday! So he's the loser not me!
