    The check in was early, the staff was very-very nice. We had the twin room and it was a decent size with a bed...

    Some of the staff were very unfriendly.

    I stayed at Hostel Korea - Changdeokgung for 2 times. The location is perfect for exploring nearby tourist spots like palaces and Insadong. The area is quiet, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. Convenience stores, subway stations, and airport bus stops are all within walking distance. The staff, especially the manager Jimin, were extremely helpful. The rooftop offers a great view of the palace. I will definitely choose this hostel again when I visit Seoul.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hostel. The location was perfect, being right next to the beautiful Changdeokgung palace and close to the bus stop for the airport shuttle. The convenience of having plenty of great places to eat nearby and the metro not too far away was a major plus. The showers, toilets, and beds were all verynice and neat. The staff were friendly and informative, going above and beyond to help me with translation and purchasing pocket wifi. I also loved that I could rent a hanbok right in the building, and the rooftop was an awesome addition to the facilities.

    Nothing, all was good.

    We had a great stay at the hostel. the staff at Korea , Changdeokgung were incredibly accommodating and friendly. They helped us with ordering food delivery and their excellent English skills made communication easy. the triple room we stayed in was spacious enough for our family and our luggage. the location of the hostel was fantastic, with two nearby subway stations. Jongno, 3 ga station was closer and more convenient for exploring the city. We also appreciated the convenience of having a 7, 11 right beside the property. Cons: Could not be improved in any way. 😊.

    The beds were incredibly comfortable, giving us a mind-blowing sleep experience throughout our stay. The location was super strategic, just a 5-minute walk from a stunning palace. It only took us 10-15 minutes on foot to get to the subway stations, making it very convenient. The simple breakfast provided was sufficient for a quick bite to eat. Our private room with attached bathroom was just the right size for the both of us. The peacefulness of the area, especially at night and in the morning, was jaw-dropping. The hostel was near all the attractions and shopping places. The room looked exactly as shown in the pictures. The staff were friendly and spoke good English. The hostel itself was clean and spacious. The cafe downstairs offered good-value food, and the rooftop terrace was open until 11pm. The toilet in our room was deluxe, adding to our overall pleasant experience. The value for money was excellent, making it a top choice for our trip.

    I recently stayed at a hotel near many heritage sites and Insadong street in Seoul. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast, considering the price, was decent. The room was spacious compared to another guesthouse we stayed at in Namdaemun. They provided all the necessary amenities like a kettle, TV, mug, shampoo, and shower gel. The best part was the amazing view of Changdeokgung palace from the hotel, with no other people in the pictures!

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    The hostel provided hanbok rentals at an affordable price, allowing guests to experience traditional Korean clothing. the breakfast served was delicious and worth the value paid for. The location of the hostel was superb, within walking distance to popular tourist attractions and close to multiple metro stops.

    The cleanliness of the beds. Sheets were not provided, so the beds were left as the last person had them, which was not very clean.

    We had an amazing stay at this hostel! The location was perfect, with the airport bus stop just a stone's throw away. The cozy "caves" were a unique touch, and we loved that they were equipped with plenty of sockets for all of our devices. Being so close to many tourist spots like Insadong and the palaces was a major advantage. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The breakfast served in the morning was a great way to start the day.

    The only downside was the ongoing road construction in the area.
