K-Grand Hostel Gangnam 1 in Seoul

🌍
South Korea, Seoul, 11, Gangnamdae-ro 112-gil, KR
● Center: 7 km

Highly praised for its excellent location near Sinnonhyeon subway station and airport buses. Staff are described as very kind and multilingual, providing helpful service in English, Japanese, and Chinese. Family rooms are noted for being spacious and suitable for two people. Amenities such as a shared kitchen and water dispenser add convenience for guests. Considered good value for money, especially for travelers on a budget or those with early appointments. No elevator in the six-story building, which can be inconvenient for guests with heavy luggage. Cleanliness issues were mentioned, including dirty spots on towels and bedding. Bathroom design causes the shower to soak the entire toilet area, which some guests found uncomfortable. Noise from the surrounding market and nightlife can be disruptive, especially around 3 AM. Lighting issues reported, including a broken room light during one stay.

Description

K-Grand Hostel Gangnam 1 is a budget-friendly 2-star accommodation located in Seoul's bustling Gangnam district. With a rating of 7.3/10, it offers a variety of room types ranging from dorm beds to deluxe and privilege rooms, including family and economy options. The property is housed in a six-story building without an elevator, so guests with heavy luggage should plan accordingly. Amenities include air conditioning, heating, free WiFi, a shared kitchen, laundry services, and a terrace. The hostel operates a 24-hour concierge service and provides free parking. Towels and toothbrushes are available upon request. While the rooms are generally clean, some guests noted occasional issues with towel cleanliness and bathroom layout, where the shower and toilet share the same space. The staff are praised for their kindness and multilingual skills, speaking English, Japanese, and Chinese. Children and pets are not allowed, and quiet hours are enforced from 11 PM to 8 AM.

The location scores highly in reviews for easy access to public transportation and late-night dining. The hostel is also close to a beauty clinic area and a popular local chicken restaurant. Despite its central position in a lively market district, guests should note potential noise late at night due to nearby nightlife activity.

I really loved my stay there. The staff is really kind and are here whenever you need help.

I highly recommend this guesthouse because there's literally everything around: 24h open bars, Cafes and restaurants, convenience stores and even the Sinnonhyeon subway station.

I'll definitely come back here when I'll have money.

너무 감사합니다!

There were some dirty spots on the towels and room decor, but for the price, and if you just need a place to sleep, it's perfectly fine. The access is good. The shower and toilet were in the same space, which was a bit confusing at first, but I managed to shower without any issues.

Pro: Location is great with good access to airport bus subways and buses.

A lot of great restaurants nearby and even open till late

The family room is quite spacious for 2 people.

Con:
as dirty as other Seoul hotels, the bedding as well!
Only stairs available!
12.09.2025 Guest
The location is great and it's very affordable, making it ideal for those with early morning medical appointments or anyone on a budget. However, be warned that the shower tends to drench the entire bathroom, soaking the toilet area. Because of this, you might consider showering elsewhere if possible. Also, when I placed the towel provided by the front desk on the floor, it quickly picked up water stains and became dirty. Finally, there's no elevator, which could be quite inconvenient for guests with heavy luggage.
08.09.2025 Guest
The location is super convenient. However, climbing the stairs was a bit tiring. The staff were great, patiently explaining all the hotel details, and the cleanliness was also good. I would definitely stay here again if I get the chance.
07.08.2025 Guest
The location was absolutely perfect, being very close to the beauty clinic area. There's also a famous chicken restaurant nearby! Highly recommended.
17.07.2025 Guest
I frequently use this place because of its great location and affordability. While cleanliness is a bit debatable, its location and price are simply unbeatable. On a side note, I noticed a photo in a review from June 15th that displays the entrance access code. For security reasons, I believe it should be removed.
17.07.2025 Guest
Excellent value for money, conveniently located in the lively Gangnam district. Highly recommended.
06.07.2025 Guest
Toothbrushes and towels are available upon request. I often stay here because of its convenient location.

Breakfast was very basic, just bread and cereal, so manage your expectations. The surroundings were decent, and it was relatively quiet for a Gangnam location. However, on our last night, a light in the room was broken.

Highly recommend this lovely tacos!
So tasty and their nice services!!
(Also you can order vegan style if you request!)
19.09.2016 Natalie
Took the vegetable burrito, vegan style. The beans were undercooked and dry but otherwise it was a good burrito. But would probably not go back for that item. However my friend took the chimichangas and they looked great:)
16.09.2016 Jose
I was craving tacos and found this place. Glad I did. The al pastor tacos reminded me home! And I am from Southern California and Mexican.
07.07.2016 Anchit
Small place with good food though a little overpriced for such a small joint
04.07.2015 Tela
Small restaurant with great food. I ordered the regular beef taco and cheese quesadillas, not only was it super delicious but different from what I was use to. Service was quick. I also appreciated they had Sam Adams as well. I give it 4 stars, I had wish I was told beforehand what all comes in the quesadillas. Spent some time removing unwanted ingredients. Still good though.
