YaKorea Hostel Dongdaemun

Review: Unfortunately, the place has all the potential to be great. But unfortunately, they don't clean. My room was full of Chinese women, super dirty and super noisy. It is self check-in, and no one is there. I love the idea of the machine, but you still need people there otherwise, the guests do whatever they want. The smell is horrible, and breakfast consists of bread and some noodles. I paid 18 euros for a night in a 4-female room. It's a pity they don't keep this place as it should be.

Positive points: The hostel is located right next to a subway station, so you can conveniently get to many attractions. The breakfast included in the price is good (toasts, ramen, coffee, tea). The lockers in the room are spacious.

Review: Pretty grim hostel overall. Was in the basement room which smells like mould and sewage, with only 1 bathroom/WC for 10 people. The place is quite dirty and staff are cold. Location is good.

Positive points: Clean and comfortable stay in a nice neighborhood. Close access to all major attractions. Friendly staff will do your laundry for only 5000 won which is cheap in an expensive city like Seoul. I like the breakfast with ramen and egg provided.

Review: the staff is not friendly or accommodating though it was a self service you'll encounter them unless you have some favors to ask, you will got what you pay for (its cheap)but the convenience and relaxation oops your on the wrong guest house, its not that clean to complain but atleast the ambience is welcoming, hope the picture says it all but not

Positive points: Good location. Quiet at night. Good value for money.

Review: Not really 10 beds, it’s 14 beds only 1 bedroom for everyone

Positive points: For the money we payed we got a good deal, the breakfast was good, although butter for the toasts would have been nice.

Review: I stayed two nights there. The second day one girl left, i woke up a bit late, so when i was doing makeup, the staff came in to do house keeping. They just looked, checked the bed and left. Didn't change sheets! nThe girl folded the quilt before she left, so the bed looked fine.nThe filter of Air con is super dirty.nthe drain in the shower room is always blocked, water is difficult to get down every time I shower

Positive points: Very close to Cheonggu station exit 1, which makes it very convenient to get around Seoul. The place is well-kept and tidy, aside from things like scuffs on the wall, which aren't important. I stayed in a private room, and it was very comfortable and had everything I needed. The private bathroom was great, the shower was super-clean. It felt amazing to come back to a cozy place to stretch out and put my feet up after a long day of walking around. Really appreciated the water purifier in the kitchen, was great to fill up my bottle with cold water before heading out into the sweltering heat for the day.

Review: Pretty bad hostel. I have never seen a hostel does not have hostel toilets outside the rooms. 12 bedroom dorm has 1 toilet and no common hostel toilets in public area. Big issue. Also the room was in the basement. The location is not good. Breakfast is a boiled eggs and noddles. Pretty bad

Positive points: There's a lot of clutter and trash at the hallway

Review: Price is great, certainly considering that a simple breakfast is included and how close you are to DDP, but that comes with some inconveniences, f.e there were 14 people in the dormitory in stead of 10, which made it feel quite crowded. The power socket next to my bed was not fixed in the wall and electric wires were visible. From there a few extension cords were daisy chained… not ideal for fire safety, certainly seen that the bunk room is in the basement… When entering the guesthouse the air didn’t smell fresh and also the floors felt quite dirty. Did not see any staff, so can’t comment on that

Positive points: Location

Positive points: The breakfast is ready breakfast.. very good..

Review: This is not a place for those who want to visit seoul and stay for long time like 1 week.nWhy?nNumber 1 reason is because of their demanding, not fiendly staffs.nHow?nScenario is this:nWhen you where in your room (10 bed room) you cannot turn on the lights at night and even during day time.nWhy?nBecause their staffs are also sleeping in your room and they don't want to be disturbed when they are sleeping.nIf you turn on the light they will immediately turn it off even you are doing something with your things. (You better use your phone flashlight to see your things around)nAnd if you make a noise like unpacking or packing something from your luggage, they will angrily go to your bed and tell you to be quite.n(Wtf why are they sleeping in guest rooms if they don't want to be disturbed?!)nAnd when their staffs are awakened, they will turned on the lights regardless if theres some guests that still sleeping.nnThe room was quite small and smelly.nnThe bed sheet, pillow case and blanket are not usually replaced with new one after guests checked out, they just fixing the beds using the same bedsheet, pillow case and blanket (disgusting).

Positive points: It's in a good location, and the free breakfast was great when available (although on the first morning, there wasn't any when I ate around 9 a.m.). The privacy curtains in the room are good, and the free earplugs, toothbrushes, etc, are a nice touch. Baggage storage is especially handy if moving out / checking in early.

Review: I killed four centipede-like bugs during my two nights of stay, it creeps me out. I don’t even have hot water in my room and the female staff downstairs is kinda mean. Not a good experience. The location is convenient though.

Positive points: The location is amazing, staff is super friendly and always available for help. They also give you everything that you need including towels, shampoo and soap
