The location is fantastic, especially for the food markets and the Korean cosmetic shops. Walking distance to buses and train.
The room was a family one and it was plenty big enough with everything you need.

For this price range, it's really hard to find a better place in Korea—especially in Seoul. The facilities were spotless, and I mean truly clean. The staff was also very kind and helpful. Overall, an excellent value for money with great location.

Dream House is located just behind the main road in Hongdae, about a 10-minute walk from the nearest subway station, Hongik University Station, Exit 1.
The building has 4 floors with an elevator.
I stayed in the twin room for two nights. The check-in process was quick and easy. The bathroom had a large bathtub. The bed was comfortable, and the air conditioner worked well. Two bottles of water were provided in the fridge. Each bed had one pillow.
The neighborhood is quiet. I felt safe walking back to the guesthouse at night. This might be one of the best guesthouses in Hongdae with such an affordable price.

Location: Great as near lots of eateries, night market and Myeongdong Subway Station.
Staff: I must commend the part-time/temporary staff at the reception, William, who is friendly and speaks good English (note: He told me he would be there temporary and would return to his home country next month (i.e. June 2025 so when you visit, he might not be working there anymore). The staff who cleaned our room on 23 May 2025 was nice and thorough. Besides passing us the towels (we requested them later), she checked there were tissue and toilet paper in the room.
Building ground floor elderly man: friendly and helpful as when he saw my mum had difficulties moving outside the building to the taxi (after mum hurt her knee and we were going to the hospital), he offered to help support my mum. Thank you very much as uncle is elderly too.
Facilities: Provided cute and small washing machine with detergent for free use which was surprising and a plus point.
Room and toilet were clean, and they do provide cleaning service if you stay a number of nights.
Breakfast: There were bread, salad, cereal, dumplings etc with coffee/tea/milk/juice, which was a good variety for a hostel setting. I see that the staff replenished the items at 930am (although breakfast ends at 10am ; breakfast timing from 7am to 10am), which was a nice gesture.
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Great location with a comfortable bed. Room is tiny, but has everything you need (tv even has a Netflix account you can use). The balcony is a really nice to sit and relax and there’s free food and drinks all day long, including bread, noodles and ice cream. It’s also very cheap for Seoul standards. Would definitely recommend if you’re on a budget but do want a private room.
One of the best hostels I've stayed in, more of a pod hotel than a hostel. Super comfortable too.
Great location a short straight walk from the metro. Itaewon was a wonderful neighbourhood with plentiful availaility of vegetarian food (very hard to find in Korea)
Me and my friends came for exchange semester a few days before our dormitory check-in so we stayed at kimstay9 hostel. The owner is so nice, she even gave us sheet masks in the end. The room is small but has everything you need, and the price is so cheap compared to other hostels. The bed even had heated bedsheet, so it was warm and cozy through the night. We really loved it here.
The best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. clean, great location, comfy beds and the friendliest staff you’ll ever meet with lots of knowledge to share. So so glad I stayed here and will definitely come back.
It is the best hostel in Seoul. Small but perfectly formed. Each room has exactly what you need and it is super clean and safe: I stayed here twice and will always come back: the staff are lovely and the facilities are great. 10/10
Very nice and polite staff. Willing to help with recommendations and everything. A lot of travellers and backpackers coming to this hostel, so nice opportunity to meet new people and other cultures. Great night life location.
Fantastic hostel for meeting people. Some of the best beds I have stayed in for a hostel and great location. Close to the party area without being swamped by it. HIGHLY recommend this place. <3 you Inno
