Kimchee Hongdae Guesthouse - Hostel

bed hard like rock , cheap but damn

The hostel was really dirty and smells really bad. The sheets were old and smelly and had holes in them. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom. The there was no bath towel provided. The “towel” provided was a hand towel and there was only 3 hand towels given to us when we had 4 in our party. The shared bathroom was very dirty and old. On our first night, a drink young girl climb into our top bunk bed while one of our team went to the bathroom. Her boyfriend came to get her after she made a lot of noise in trying to chase us out of the room. The door lock was not secure and made the place unsafe. We checked out with only one night stay. The hostel did not refund our money for the 5 remaining nights. This hotel is really crappy and not livable.

Staff were friendly, but the pictures are very misleading. Blanket was scratchy, window made some banging noise I had to fix, wifi didn't work in the room. Generally pretty unpleasant place to spend the night.

This hostel is good value for money! Near Hhongik university station exit 2, there are 2 convenience store nearby like only around 100m. When you ho inside the hostel, go down to the lobby which also serves as dining room. When you I was checked in, the receptionits asked whether I need towel or not. I was on single room 403 and there was total 5 floor. The room is small as expected from the cheap price, but surprisingly there was ac in my room! On 4th floor, there is 1 toilet combined with shower for man, 1 toilet combined with shower for woman and 1 toilet for both, so there is total 3 toilet. Well, overall I am satisfied with this hostel!

Great! Location near by subway.

Everyone in Kimchee is very welcoming especially the Korean guy receptionist. He's the coolest! It's a good place for backpackers and with great value. Will definitely book again soon!

I had a hard time looking for the exact location of the guesthouse. Also, I availed a single room but some travelers are very noisy and I can still hear it even after 11PM.

It's near the station and very easy to access the transportation.

Great hostel for backpacker.
