I backpack here for a week, I am alone since I am solo traveler. Overall, two thumbs up (even four) for birdsnest hostel. Every single aspect is really fantastic. The staff, the room, the location, everything. The staff cleans the whole room every single morning, they provide free rice, the staff speaks english well so I can communicate well. The room I stayed is really warm and comfortable and I had well slept here. They also provide hot water,, the location is near with hongdae shopping street and hongik university station and there is direct train to the airport. The most crucial one their front desk is 24 hour so we don't have to be worry if we arrive in Seoul even at the midnight. The staff appreciate me as a moslem, then I feel like I am at my own home. We had a party last night which was very interesting. I wish I could stay here longer, but I can't since I need to go back to Indonesia. I am pretty sure, birdsnest hostel spoil me very well. You should come here even for backpacking, family or business. Next year I will be coming here again, and I will stay here again. Thank you for every single hospitality you provide, gracias
