Dongdaemun Hwashin Hostel Reviews

I had a fantastic stay in Seoul. The host was wonderful, helping with luggage and even trash disposal. The room also came with a TV and Wi-Fi.

I had a good time during my stay. The hostel is near the subway, very convenient to reach from Gimpo airport. They have a kitchen with shared fridge water dispenser and microwave. The room is very small but it is enough for a short stay. I would avoid coming here with huge luggage since there is no elevator and no place to store it. The room and bathroom are spotless, extremely clean but there is a heavy smell of either cleaning products or something else coming from the paint of the wall or air-conditioning. The man at the reception is friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend this hostel, especially for 2-3 days stay.

Enjoyed our stay here. Room was small but the service was exceptional. Staff were very helpful.

Great hostel right in a central area of Seoul, close to the Metro and to many convenience stores and markets. We loved our small double room, it had all we needed for 2 nights: heating, hot water, wood, small towels. The hostel is very quiet at night, we could sleep really well. The receptionist is friendly, helpful and speaks English really well. They also held our bags for few hours after the checkout. We wanted to rebook here but it’s fully booked. We will strongly recommend it.

It’s a decent place if you just need somewhere to rest. There’s no lift if you get a room upstairs, the location is a bit hidden inside the market area, and there’s still some noise that can be heard from the room. Thank you

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, explaining everything about the hotel clearly when I checked in. There are also instructions printed in multiple languages in the room and the shared spaces, which is very helpful. I was able to do laundry and hang it up to dry in the courtyard. It's in a great neighborhood with lots to do, but very peaceful at night so i slept well

Had a great stay at this guesthouse considering that the price is affordable and easy access of public transportation. 1. Location: If you’re from the airport, would recommend to ride the airport bus instead of taking the train as it’s much more convenient. Airport bus would stop at Baiton Hotel. Do note that the nearest subway station does not have elevator or lift. 2. Room: Quite small which actually a standard if you visit Korea. Bathroom is clean and even have curtains to ensure it won’t get well all over. 3. Amenities: Free water bottles provided in the room but there’s also water dispenser at the kitchen. There’s also microwave but there’s a certain time that you can use. I’m the kind of person who cannot live without iron and this guesthouse does provide one upon request. Thank you for the warm hospitality!

Me and my partner stayed there for a few days and it was perfect for us since we didn't plan on staying in the actual room the whole time. Very close to the subway and other bus options, like the airport bus. Although it is about 1hr and 30min transit from the airport. I recommend this place to people who like to explore.

It is suitable and nice to who travel sololy with fair price. Clear explanation and nice staff! I must give a praise to the strong air con in summer! Room is spacious for one person, one biggest drawback is there were few bugs(3-4) inside the room, but acceptable, understand there will be some insects in summer. Overall, recommend this to solo traveler due to its price and cleanliness!

Great place. Definitely I would stay again if I went back to Seoul👌🏻

this hostel is convenient and located with accessible transportations, appreciate the friendly owner greetings every morning. good place and owner

Nice location and convenince

Location is quite good. Near subway station & airport bus. Hostel provided towel but is very small. Overall is value of the money

Hwashin hostel administration, thank you so much for the warm welcome and always positive treatment 💗 sorry didn't manage to say goodbye in person.. I was staying for 4 days (25-29/08/2024). Everything was clean, tidy. The bathroom had a curtain, and also soap, shampoo and stuff. The drinking water was provided, the ac worked well and there was an opportunity to open the window 💗 It has great location, it's super close to Dondaemun history and culture park, getting almost everywhere is convenient and there's a lot to see nearby as well:) The only inconvenience I had was bringing my luggage down the stairs when checking out but that's okay anyway) Thank you so so much for such welcoming atmosphere and help❤️ i have already recommended this hostel to my friends and i do recommend it to everybody visiting:)
