Saewha Hostel in Seoul

The owner is so kind and good in different languages

I was tired, but overall it was good. Downstairs, there's free 3-in-1 coffee and a machine that stirs it for you! There's a massage chair right facing the entrance, which I personally wouldn't feel comfortable using with strangers walking by. I had a room on the third floor, down a very narrow hallway, but it was secluded from everyone else. This hallway also led to a terrace and rooftop access. My room's windows faced the terrace, which was a bit strange but not bad. However, the bathroom windows faced an indoor space... literally into the hostel corridor. So, it was better to shower and use the toilet with the window closed. The door had a regular key lock, and I couldn't manage to lock it when I left, but my belongings were safe without me, as is usually the case in Korea. Not a bad place! It was quiet at night, and I slept well.

The location was fantastic and the security was excellent!

Perfect for a backpacker, and the prices are quite reasonable... well... I'm 70 years old... but in a way, I wasn't disappointed by the experience. Let's just say it reminded me of my younger days. The room was clean, but the beds are a bit wobbly, and the whole place is... patched up. Excellent location, and the owner is friendly.

The owner was very friendly.
There was always coffee and tea.
There was a microwave, a washing machine, and new towels every day.
Everything was great.
The location was top-notch, right on Insadong.

A wonderful hostel with a great location. Insadong, with its authentic cafes and shops housed in traditional hanok houses, is just a couple of minutes' walk away. Changdeokgung Palace is a 7-minute walk away. The bus stop and subway are also within a 5-minute walk. The hostel offers free use of a washing machine, dryer, microwave, kettle, and even a massage chair! The rooms feature air conditioning, a TV, a hairdryer, soap, shampoo, shower gel, toothbrush, and toothpaste. Both the room and bathroom windows have mosquito nets. Umbrellas are available. Hot and cold water dispensers, as well as tea and coffee, are available near reception. The front door is opened with a key card, and the room door is accessible with a key card.

Friendly staff and comfortable rooms

Very good option for traveling alone. Friendly check-in. The room has everything you need. Left in the morning, came back in the evening. There is coffee, tea, hot and cold water at the reception. Massage chair 😀 there is a place on the roof

Nice and mostly clean, great location and good value for money.
