8.4 Great accommodation! - MC 24-06-2025

Review: I did not expect much as it's a dorm type accommodation. However, I liked my stay here and would definitely go back again very soon! The area was surrounded with cafes, convenience stores and other places to eat. I was happy to find 60계치킨 (60 Gye Chicken) very near the building. The location was also accessible to train and bus stations.

7.0 Very good - Magdalena 22-03-2025

Positive points: It’s located in Sinchon, a very lively neighborhood which offers plenty opportunities for food and shopping. The bathrooms were being cleaned everyday which was good. There was free breakfast included.

Negative points: There is no elevator and the hostel is on the third floor. That’s a lot of stairs when you have to carry multiple heavy suitcases. Also there was not enough space in the rooms to keep the suitcases in there so I had to leave it in the hallway which made me feel a bit uncomfortable…

8.8 Best accommodation for a shared space! - MC 24-06-2025

Review: If only Philstay Ehwa had an elevator, it would had been perfect already. However, expectation was set that there was none so I came somehow prepared. Walking up & down the stairs added to my daily routine & physical wellness so it was fine. I was able to do my laundry, some cooking and the whole stay felt like I was just home, though really away from home. I just hoped that some of the other guests would be more respectful of each other's space. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. When I checked out, while waiting outside for a cab to Seoul station, an old man suddenly helped me with my luggages. I kept telling him it was ok (not to assist me) but he introduced himself as the building manager. He helped me get a cab, gave me candy and even put umbrella over my head as it was raining while we were waiting. He was very kind. I'd like to meet him again when I go back next month. 고맙습니다 Philstay Ehwa and see you again soon!

10.0 5 minutes walk from subway/bus stop, comfy bed with nice staff - Poonnakarn 04-03-2025

Positive points: Just 5 minutes walk from Ewha station, you can come here by subway or airport bus no. 6002. 7-11 and plenty of restaurants nearby, Olive Young right under the property with not too crowded but not too quiet neighborhood. Free self-cook easy breakfast, eggs, bread, cereal, milk and juice. Comfy bed with blinder as shown in the photo so you can have your own personal space.

Negative points: I think 8 beds room might be too crowded comparing the room size and can be a little bit noisy, 4 or 6 beds would be better (6 is the best, I tried every room here already and 6 is the biggest).

8.8 好但是也有缺点 - MAOYUAN 21-06-2025

Review: 各方面都挺好,交通很方便,厕所打扫得很干净,提供免费的早餐。但是房间没有窗户,光线很暗,通风不是很好,尤其是碰到舍友有脚臭以及打呼(耳塞都不管用)真的很倒霉了。而且房间不是很大,箱子要放在房间外面,拿取东西很不方便

8.0 I would say it's positive way and I love it! - Apinya 03-03-2025

Positive points: Full of facilities! I love this place. The price per nice is good. Moreover, they included breakfast such as bread, egg, milk, orange juice, con-flake. They have the laundry! And they have like 5 toilets so it's enough for all guests. I do not have to wait for using the toilet. And the toilets are clean. The location is good also. I could walk straight from Ewha uni. Station. The staffs are super nice! And this place is safe for woman who travel alone like me. I would recommend everyone for staying here.

Negative points: I got the 2nd bed. So, it's a little bid hard to clim there. And for my 2nd day, there was the construction at another floor and It's loud since morning.

9.6 Best for solo traveller - Ashidah 17-06-2025

Review: The hostel have everything in needs for a comfortable stay. Location is very conveniently near subway & bus station. Also its located just in front of ehwa university.nn

9.0 This hostel helped me enjoy and maximize my stay in South Korea, Cost effective and warm atmosphere - Leslie 30-12-2024

Positive points: The hostel is ideally located close to a subway station that allows you easy access to all the sites in the city. The staff are friendly and welcoming, always willing to assist. The facilities are also kept clean by the team who work hard daily to clean the rooms and other facilities.

7.0 Very good - Mengni 10-12-2024

Positive points: The location is quite good, and facilities are fine.

Negative points: In general was good but the room got no windows and the staffs always keep the door open during the daytime for the air circulation, which is fine. However on my last day, there was a male staff came to my room two times without knocking or asking for permission. It’s not proper for a female only hostel and I felt so uncomfortable.

10.0 适合solo追星! - Jun 17-06-2025

Review: 下次有机会试试看住人少一点的房间 应该体验感会更好 这家店的社长人超级好 入住的女孩们也都很好 大家在走廊排队上厕所和洗澡也能聊上几句哈哈

7.0 Very good - Yuka 02-12-2024

Positive points: The location is really good! Close to the subway and the bus station. There are convenience stores, drugstores, cafes and a Daiso close by. The staff always respond to the messages, which is helpful but I haven't encountered them on any occasion. It was pretty much self check-in and self check-out. I stayed in a room with four and you can keep your privacy with the curtains.

Negative points: I didn't like the bathroom because there wasn't a proper divisor on the shower area, meaning the entire bathroom would get wet, including the shared slippers you're supposed to use inside the bathroom.

7.2 Worth the price - Wai 06-06-2025

Review: Definitely worth the price with a simple bed and breakfast! If you are a solo traveller that just needs a budget place to sleep then highly recommend. No lift and located on 3rd floor so if you have a heavy luggage or you have bad knees then you might wanna reconsider but otherwise is totally fine.

7.0 Very good - Paratee 29-11-2024

Positive points: Good location,Safety,Value money

Negative points: Sometime some people don’t follow the rules

9.0 I will stay again in this property. 😊 - HONORATA 27-11-2024

Positive points: The property is very near Ehwa University and Idae station line 2. It has fresh and clean towel everyday - shampoo and bodywash, too. You can cook egg for breakfast aside from bread, jam and cereals. Juice and milk are on the fridge. The staff was helpful and check-in procedure can be messaged to you.

Negative points: It’s on the 3rd floor and no lift. Don’t bring big and heavy luggage.

10.0 Exceptional - etha 01-06-2025

Review: Good location, good staff, bunk bed but still private. Gonna stay here again for another solo trip

10.0 Exceptional - Kerttu 18-10-2024

Positive points: I liked that we could wash our clothes with the washing machine with existing laundry detergent and have free breakfast as well!

10.0 Everything was amazing! - Дарья 26-05-2025

Review: Starting from location, hostel located in university area which make it a very good and safe place for solo female travelers. Also there is a lot of places to eat. And everything is pretty much nerby. There 5 bathroom (there were few days when only 3 was working) but even tho it was only girls, there was no line into the bathroom. Staff is also really kind and helpful. nOnly 1 no so good point that it located on 3 floor without elevator. So if u book it prepare to lift your lugged with your own power
