YaKorea Hostel Dongdaemun

The place was well located, 3 minutes from the closest train station, 1 minute from the closest bus stop and have numerous local restaurants and cafes within a 500 meter radius. The breakfast served was same everyday but makes a good staple if you like toast and soup.

The host was very kind and the place is comfortable. I just dislike the people that stayed in the same room with me because they act like that place are theirs. I think they were in the same group. But I won't mention their nationality. Once the girls finished shower, they just don't clean their hair that fell on the shower room floor and it's just disgusting. But despite the "impolite" roommates, the place is really recommended :) It's really near the subway and has easy access. Not hard to find the place. I think I will stay there again next time :)

Everything was nice. I love the location

So terrible, most of the socket can not work. The air conditioner is wet and then the water is ruining the guest room is basement...! No light...!

The kitchen is always dirty. The bedroom and bathroom are not cleaned properly. The blanket looks like it has not been changed. The room is near to the dirty kitchen and there are cockroaches.

It lived up to the price that I had to pay, it was very cheap and it's exactly what I got for the cheap price. The lobby was kind of messy since they don't have the locker room to storage for luggage. But the room is okay, and bathroom in the dorm is also clean eventho a lil bit small. But I had a nice stay and the location is very easy from public transportation.

Highly not recommended. First, rather poor hygiene. Dorm bedroom itself was messy and smelly. People were let (regardless of rules) to eat on the huge table provided in the bedroom. Kitchen and living area were messier and smellier, plus oily. The utensil and cutlery were oily after washed. The fridge was over occupied and certainly stink too. Second, inadequate facility, particularly, restroom. 7 bunk beds, meaning 14 beds, were only equipped with one single restroom (some more with shower and toilet combined). And it’s the only single restroom for dorm in the whole building. Pee, shower, brush teeth, change clothes, all in one. And it’s a mixed dorm with women. Third, inconsistent service. I said inconsistent, because not all receptionists weren’t friendly and helpful. Apparently, some of them could go missing and leave me hanging for hours while promising to find me a locker. And I suspected the Chinese guy receptionist had his friends around in the kitchen; often a huge gang would come in to cook complex meals (not simple food but huge portions of meat etc), not very typical of backpackers’ style. That said, point 1&2 were important for backpackers who get a dorm. For standalone room, I don’t know. And the only great thing of it was that it’s ultra close to cheonggu station.

The hotel is near station. Good location. But there is no elevator and I got the room on the 4th floor so I had to up and down the long stairs. And the air is not good too because there is no ventilation and just have 1 window. The good point is the hotel have a cheap price.

Nothing good. Bad staff and service!

The staff does not support everything. This hotel can't not be good all.
