Amazing Stay, Amazing Friends
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.

Not so recommended
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.

Won't ever stay here again!
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!

nice and spacious
Conveniently located near Hongik University station exit 4. Room was spacious and comfortable. There were also a supermarket and a couple of cafes which serve great breakfasts. However, there were a couple of cockroaches in my room (maybe due to construction next door?)

Room can get a bit stuffy unless you open the window But when you open the window is open, cold air comes in Reception staff don't speak English well Able to change towels every day Heating can only be adjusted for the water or floor one at a time ( you either have warm water or a warm floor, but not both at once)

The room was okay and I did enjoy my stay there. However, there wasn't a consistent hot water supply for showers and there isn't a lift, which made getting to my room at the top level a bit troublesome. But overall, not a terrible place to stay. Staff could definitely be a bit friendlier and helpful though.

So far from the station. They have no elevator and i stayed at 4th floor. Their pillows are so thin and small. I can't sleep with it. But can go to the convenience shop at the corner. The bathroom looks too old ,and the room's smell was so bad. And the last one the room is not soundproof. So I can hear the room next to me talked and laughed all night.

침구 상태 지저분, 수건 상태 좋지 않음, 화장실에 곰팡이도 있고 하룻밤 자는데 정말 별로였어요 숙박업을 하면 침구랑 수건은 깨끗하게 세탁해야 하지 않나요. 저녁에 후덥지근했는데 에어컨상태도 좋지 않았고요. 정말 후회 많이 했습니다

친구와 함께 이용했는데 저희방에 전용화장실과 전용 씽크대가 있어서 너무 편했습니다. 화장실에는 샴프와 바디워시 화장지가 구비되어 있습니다. 수건은 1층 출입구 쪽에 얼마든지 사용가능하도록 비치해 두었습니다. 방안에 침대도 두개, 티비, 드라이기도 구비되어 있습니다. 주방에 음식 요리도 가능하도록 조리도구와 냄비와 그릇들도 구비되어 있어서 혹시나 친구들과 요리해 드시기 편리합니다. 저희는 사용하지 않았지만요. 방도 온도조절 가능하도록 되어 있어 따뜻하게 잘수 있어요. 날씨가 더워 보일러는 틀지 않았습니다.

친절한 안내 덕분에 만족스러운 숙박이었습니다. 침대도 편안하고 공간도 넓어서 매우 편안했어요. 제일 좋았던 건 위치가 정말정말 좋아서 관광하기가 편했다는 것이었습니다! 하지만 청결을 중요하게 생각하는 분들은 신중하셨음 좋겠습니다. 창틀에 낀 먼지와 방충망 없는 창은 좀 당황스러웠어요ㅠㅠ

駅から数分
近くの別のゲストハウスで、早く到着してしまいましたが、チェックインさせていただきました。 お部屋は4Fだったのですが、スタッフの方がキャリーを持ってくださいました。 タオルはゲストハウスの入り口に1日ごとに置かれて、自分達で持っていく仕組みになっていました。バスタオルより小さい大きさですが、バスタオルとして使用できる大きさだと思います。 シャワーとトイレは決して綺麗とは言えないです。シャワーとトイレの仕切りはなく、トイレと床は濡れます。タオルをかけるところに着替えを置くことをお勧めします。 シャワーは少し待たないとお湯が出てこないです。 トイレは詰まりやすく、ラバーカップが常備されていました。私達も一度詰まらせました。 キッチンは広く、清潔感があり、お皿とグラスは人数分ありました。鍋やフライパン、IH、電子レンジもあったので、料理もできるかと思います。 イスは4つしかないので、私達は一人キャリーに座って生活していました。友達同士だったので、それもまた面白かったです。 全身鏡はなく、不便に感じました。 コンセントは多くあったと思います。 ティッシュペーパーが無かったので、買うか、持って行った方がいいかと思います。 深夜は別の部屋の宿泊者の声が響く日もありました。 外出時も常に自分で鍵を管理する形で、時間が決められているわけではないので、良かったです。 近くにマートとコンビニがあってとても便利でした。 友人とワイワイ泊まるには安くてとても良かったですが、私達にはお風呂がかなり引っかかる点でした。でも自由に過ごさせていただけたので、後悔はないです。

Staff was really nice and helpful. BUT the bed was disgustingly dirty, so much so that I literally slept on the floor. The flush on the toilet was broken. If it wasn't for those issues the hotel would be super lovely, but I just can't with the bedding.
