Review: I had a good time staying here especially because of the location, just few steps away from subway & bus station, convenience stores and restos nearby. The only issue for me is the cigarette smell, I hope that problem can be resolved. The building also needs a little upgrade but all in all, it was a great stay! Thank you so much!
Positive points: Nothing
Negative points: The first room we got was dirty — the floor was messy and the fridge had old, rotten food. It was so bad I nearly vomited. After complaining, a cleaner was sent, but she spoke rudely, saying, “What do you expect for this price?” — very unprofessional.nnThankfully, the lady at the front desk was kind and offered us another room. It was better than the first one, but still not great overall. Disappointed with the cleanliness and staff attitude, except for the receptionist.
Review: The Hostel Metro is near to subway station, I recommend this hostel to my friendl, I like the free simple breakfast. I enjoyed staying with my partner. Thank you Hostel Metro 🫶
Positive points: The heating bed! And it was really comfortable. Very small space but pretty cozy. The staff was really nice. It has a washing machine and a dryer in the common area as well as a microwave and ironer.
Negative points: It's a little run down and needs a little renovation. Nothing out of the ordinary though.
Review: If you’re looking for a cheap stay within the city then this place is a good idea. Saved the contact for no one is around the reception and you need to help yourself checking in the room
Positive points: Just the location is very close to a subway.
Negative points: Very dirty. All the molds on the bathroom door. nNot 24 hours Front desk as they mention on the web. Very VERY DISAPPOINTED
Review: I know I'm spending the minimum but one can at least expect livable conditions I think. The location is great but that's it. I think the bathroom hasn't been cleaned in years and because the drain is blocked you're standing in a puddle of the filth.
Positive points: Proximity to the metro
Negative points: A horror. We were assigned a room in which the toilet was clogged with excrement and with sheets that had a persistent smell of urine not to mention the hair in the bed. So the staff changed us to another room.nIn the other room, mold covered the wallpaper. Everything was moldy, without exception, as shown in the photos: the walls, the sink, not to mention the shower, etc ... Again, there was hair everywhere. The temperature of the shower is also very difficult to adjust. nThe air conditioning, very old, combined with the mold gave us sore throats. nThis establishment is a disgrace and we ask you, who are reading this comment, not to book, even if the price is good. Having traveled all over the world, I have never seen an establishment like this. nDo not book this hotel, for anything in the world.
Review: I have arrived late but no one there even I have contacted with them by WhatsApp wechat etc they didn’t even reply. Even I have ordered two people room but I stayed single room coz of broken air condition, horrible dirty room, no light rooms they didn’t even pay back my money for staying in single room
Positive points: The gentleman gave us a free room when we checked in. He is so nice. Its also in front of exit 2 and 3 of Sinseoldong Station and has a lot of restaurants and shops just beside it.
Negative points: Its not really clean. I hope they clean the hostel up since it has a potential.
Review: Great location! Very accessible to public transpo. Room is spacious enough. Just have an issue with the sink plumbing. I had a very good stay. Will book here again on my next visit.
Positive points: Nothing.
Negative points: The room was full of insects, the elevator to the room felt unsave. Mold everywhere, found an used condom on the ground. I got out of there as soon as possible. Insane!!nHonestly I have been to many hostels before. And it was so bad it made me laugh. Though I doubt many people would be laughing in my situation. I'm 19 and my room is cleaner.
Review: Affordable and near subway, yes, but the smell of the room and cigarette smoke enters the room makes it worst, disgusting, I got an allergy. Whether the caretaker/owner/staff or guests are smoking, it should not be on the aisle or rooftop as it is easily smell in rooms. smoke detector and tv not functioning. Noisy other guests, there were shouting and fighting on my first night and there is no staff on duty to intervene. Not safe to stay.
Positive points: Nothing
Negative points: Aircondition is damaged- very bad Shower - bed is bad smell also - and there is a very bad smell that anyone cannot accepte it. I have many pictures to show them to people about what I describe
Review: For the price, it's okay. Just don't expect that the room is all good. The bathroom has molds and dark tiles even on bedsheets.
Negative points: As I know I already paid in advance.nBut it didn’t push thru.nOnce I arrived the stuff asked me the money,nAfter I paid she told me that the bathroom is under renovation and have to move to other hotelnWhich mean was bad.nWhy she didn’t tell me before I pay.nSo I can choose my own place.nnAnyway.nI saw the comment before nShe had the same thing,nBut I just didn’t listen to her.
Review: The Location was very good! Just near Sinseoldong station either exit 2 or 3 but near to exit 2 elevator exit 🤣🤣.. stated at room 605 and the bathroom was very spacious. .
Positive points: The best thing about the property is that it is very near the subway station. The staff were also responsive and helpful.
Negative points: The rooms were smelly. We were given three rooms and all rooms had foul smell. I cannot describe the smell but maybe because of the CR or the bedsheets? There were leaks from the sink in the CR and the aircon. The bedsheets also smelled bad. The airconditioning units do not function well. But our biggest complaint really were the foul smell of all the rooms that we had.
Review: It would have been if they will clean the place often and fix the broken appliances and elevator.
Positive points: clean, nice staff and nice lication
Negative points: none
