10.0 Valuable hostel with warm & supportive staffs - Gia 12-04-2025

Review: This hostel is located in the heart of Insadong that you can walk to the Insadong street or Bukchon Hanok Village. The train station or bus stop is just 5 minutes walking. nnThe owner (Tommy) and his staffs are helpful and nice. My little girl got sick and she vomitted to the bed cover but they were willing to change the new onr without any additional fee. I am very approciated this. nnThe kitchen area is small but warm as my home and it provides everything that you need for simple cooking (oven, pot, frying pan, oil…). nnThank you so much for welcoming us those days.

10.0 Great location, easy access to trains! - Emily 06-03-2025

Positive points: Hostel Tommy was the perfect stay as I wrapped up living two and a half years in Seoul. I needed somewhere to live after moving out of my apartment and I knew I wanted to stay in Ikseon-dong. The location was perfect for getting around Seoul, and I loved being so close to the cafes across the street. The room was comfortable, wi-fi fast and staff were helpful and friendly. I highly recommend staying here!

Negative points: Nothing - my expectations were met, and everything was great for me. My only disappointment was not using the massage chair in the lobby area which I didn't see until my last day! :)
