Guest reviews for SSH LK Hostel
"Location is very good and staff is helpful. We requested a room where my sister could get some fresh air, and they arranged a suitable room for us. Front door has lock that is good for safety."
"The place was exactly as shown in the photos and met my expectations."
"Near Dongdaemun and Jongno 5-ga station. Near Gwangjang market. Near Airport Bus stop 6002. Clean place. Helpful staff."
"Aucun."
"For the price I liked it a lot, you are right next to Jongo 5-ga station and there is a bus stop next to it. It is a bit hard to get here at first by taxi as it will bring you from the other side and the hotel is in a alleyway that is not accesible by car but if you let the taxi drop you off at the metro station it’s only a 1 minute walk. The staff is incredibly nice she even walked with me to the airport bus stop to help bring my luggages because I was alone and had to carry 3 luggages on my own."
"This is something that did not bother me much, but if you are very sensitive to noise please keep in mind that the walls are quite thin and you will be able to hear a lot of noise like people coming in out of their rooms, walking in the hallways, talking etc. It did not bother me that much as I am not much of a light sleeper but on days it did I just put earplugs in that they provided. One thing that bothered me a bit was that the window was facing the other building so it didnt have much of a function and the room had no proper daylight through the ‘window’ so it would be really dark and I couldn’t really tell if it was morning or not because of it lol."
"Very good location. 1min away from the subway station. Useful kitchen."
"Quite dusty and a bit rundown. But considering the value for money, those can be overlooked."
"The room is big. It is also close to the bus stops and train station. The self-service option is pretty convenient too."
"My room is on the 3rd floor (roof deck). There were no elevators. It is raining during the day that I came and I need to have an umbrella just to reach my room. It does smell a sewer outside but thankfully inside the room it is not."
"I’m glad I just made a reservation for 1 night . The place was so dirty and I couldn’t even sleep . Dust , the smell in the room , the bed sheets were just disgusting. I payed the same amount for another place but it was completely different. I talked to the stuff but they were speechless when I showed the pictures I took of the room and under the bed"
"It was full of dust , there was a topper under my bed with something inside and it seems they haven’t even clean for years ."
"I had a cosy room, the hostel is near subway/bus station (1 min), near major turistic attractions, clean, helpful stuff, filtered water (warm and cold), coffee, juice, milk, all the vessels needed to eat comfortable, even a luggage scale (which is of huge importance) and a washing machine. The street nearby were full of restaurants, 2 big markets, many places to eat and shop."
"I loved my room with one exception, it had no window to the light and fresh air. I'm European and a solar person. So I couldn't get up earlier. But I know now that most of the buildings are linked to each other so that's why there is no view from the apartments."
"The staff at this hostel are so nice and really made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Jenny and Eva at reception were very helpful to me regarding all my requests for things for the room as well as information about Seoul and more. I had many questions about staying in the city and they answered my questions quickly with useful links in the messages about local transportation and tourist sites. I appreciated that very much! The location of this hostel is excellent! 10 minutes walk to Gwangjang Market, 35 minutes walk to Insadong. It is close to subway stops as well as just about any shop, restaurant, market or pharmacy nearby. I also liked having the breakfast cereal, juice and coffee every morning to start to the day."
"The size of the room was small and the shower is not separate from rest of bathroom, which I would have preferred, but I got used to it. And there was no view through the window at all, only a view of another building’s wall. But, I knew these things before booking the room, so it was a minor inconvenience."
"Ease of entry and secure door codes. Staff supplied outlet adapters. Wifi was strong. Liked mini fridge."
"No closet and few hangers. Noisy hallway."
"It was a last minute booking for me and I was glad that there was still a room available in this hostel. The price is very affordable and the location is great, close to the bus and subway stations. It was good that I got the room on the first floor because it would have been challenging to go up the stairs since I have heavy luggage."
"Aucun."

"Clean, friendly staff, unique '50s America style"
Steven Yangyang Bookers Beach Motel
"Sparkling clean and was able to use the body board at the beach. There was also a surf board, but missed the spring high tide- so didn’t use it. Fell asleep relaxing on the hammock in the afternoon- was perfect!"

"Ruhige Lage, geräumiges Haus, das Bett in der unteren Etage bequem. Schöne Umgebung. Nicht weit zum Nationalpark."
"깨끗하게 잘 관리하고 있는 것 같아요. 주변 먹거리도 많아 음식점 선택시 의견 다툼도 없고.. 전반적으로 만족 했어요. 조식 이벤트도 좋았어요.."
"무엇보다 정말 친절하셨어요. 그리고 쾌적하고 좋았구요. 아침까지 포함된 가격이라 감사히 잘 먹었습니다. 그런데 이왕이면 1층 로비에 있는 커피 머신이 아침식사제공되는 장소에 있으면 더 좋을 것 같의 고려해봐주세요. 다른 건 모두 대만족입니다. 또 울산 갈일 있으면 호텔 치즈 이용할 겁니다. 아참... 침대에 전기담요를 깔아서 침상만들기를 해두어서 정말 지져가며 푸욱 잘 수 있었는데... 이런 서비스는 여기에서만 받을 수 있는 것 같아요."

"The hotel is located near Taehwagang station (around 10 mins of walking and 13-14 mins if with luggages). All the staffs are very nice with friendly, good manners. I stayed in a Deluxe room which was very broad, full facilities (except for toothbrush and toothpaste, but it was not a big problem with me), and the toilet was separated with the bathroom. I personally like the design structure, although it seems like the deluxe rooms are not decorated in the same manner."
