Soul Hostellit

"The property is new and very clean, and I would be happy to stay here again in the future. During my stay, the only inconvenience was that the sink drained quite slowly, and after it was repaired by the staff, there was an unpleasant odor in the bathroom for the remainder of my visit. I believe the staff would have been willing to assist further, but due to my very tiring schedule and late arrivals around midnight, I did not have the energy to make another request. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and the staff were extremely kind and accommodating. I rated the facilities 3 out of 5 mainly because the ramen options are not inclusive. All available choices contain meat (pork, beef, or chicken), and considering the diverse range of guests visiting this area—some with dietary restrictions or allergies such as vegans, vegetarians, or Muslim travelers—I believe offering at least one fully vegan ramen option would be a great improvement. That said, I truly appreciate the complimentary ramen provided, as well as the washing machine with free detergent and softener. Even though there is only one machine, it was very convenient and appreciated. Overall, I was very happy with my stay, and congratulations on the grand opening!"

"Pros: Amazing location, rooms are relatively clean. It’s nice they offer free ramen and coffee. There’s also a fridge in the room. Cons: There was a horrible smell coming from the sink’s pipes that were right next to the bed, so bad to the point it would affect our sleep. The blankets were incredibly difficult to sleep with as the duvet covers had holes that the duvet would constantly slip out of and get entangled with. Our room was initially also super cold because they only use floor heating, so we had to borrow a radiator; just keep this in mind if you’re coming in the winter. Laundry was also difficult to do as there was only one washing machine and one dryer, each costing 4000 won to use and taking 2 hours to finish a load, meaning 4 hours total to wash and dry. The shower head was not adjustable so it sprayed at an awkward angle especially for shorter people, we had to press ourselves right against the wall to avoid being sprayed right in the face. The shower curtain is also rather short and will constantly float while showering and stick to you. Overall, while affordable considering its convenient location, they come at a cost for a lot of comfort."

"”Just wrapped up a week-long stay here and I’m honestly impressed. The vibe is great, though I’d recommend it primarily for solo travelers. If you’re coming as a duo with heavy luggage, the room might feel a little cozy! The best part? It’s super peaceful and away from the hustle, but only a short (＜10 mins) walk to the station—and yes, there’s a direct line to the airport which is a lifesaver. You’ll find plenty of cute cafes and eateries nearby, just a heads-up that the neighborhood starts to wake up around 10 AM. Definitely a solid choice for your next trip!”"

"I was a bit unsure at first since there weren’t many photos and only a few reviews, but because the feedback was very positive, I decided to give it a try — and I’m so glad I did! The hotel turned out to be excellent. The room is on the smaller side, which I think is perfect for one person (I’m 178 cm tall). I loved how well the space was designed and utilized — it never felt cramped and was very functional. Most importantly, everything was spotlessly clean. The bed, pillows, and blanket were incredibly comfortable, and the towels smelled fresh and were of great quality. I also appreciated that the hotel provided high-quality amenities — even the hairdryer, tissues, and bathroom products (including conditioner!) were a step above the usual. The staff were absolutely wonderful. I arrived early in the morning and had to head straight to a concert, so I had many questions in advance. They answered all my emails quickly and in great detail, which I really appreciated. The self check-in and check-out system was also seamless and easy to use — very convenient and stress-free. In the room, there was a clear guide on how to use the equipment, connect to Wi-Fi, and even recommendations for nearby restaurants, cafés, and pubs. The neighborhood itself is calm and outside the main tourist area, yet just a short walk to the subway station that connects easily to the major lines. Shared facilities included complimentary coffee, ice, drinking water, and glasses for self-service, which was a nice touch. I would highly recommend this hotel for solo travelers, but it’s also great for couples or friends. For me, it exceeded expectations in every way — truly impressive!"

"The location of the hostel is very close to the subway, near Jongno 5(o)-ga station. Room is on the smaller side but for the price I think it’s quite reasonable. No lift in the building but water dispenser at every level. Towels, toilet paper and other amenities are readily available without staff around. Airport bus, CU, pharmacy and many restaurants nearby"

"Sharing my New Year staycation—my last stop was at hostel located right in the heart of Myeongdong. It was the perfect spot to enjoy street food, explore endless shopping options, and discover a variety of restaurants. Getting around was also very convenient, with easy access to the airport bus. The room was quite small, but that’s understandable for this area. Breakfast was simple and self-service, just like a typical hostel setup. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay here and had a wonderful experience.🥰"

"We stayed in the room for the. Price / Value for this ho(s)tel is great. Location very good in terms of walking to other interesting places in the city, however in the direct vicinity of the hotel it looks a bit shady, but no issues whatsoever, does not feel unsafe or anything. I would stay here again. Approx. 1 km from the hotel there is a Korean Sauna place that costs around 15k Won, which is not bad. Amenities great, instant noodles, coffee, water free of charge, washing machine and dryer available for a small fee. We had everything we needed for a place where you go to sleep overnight. Some small things which could be improved: I could not find a shoe horn in the room, the lights panel shines during the night and I had to cover it with a T-shirt to have a better sleep, the AC does not smell good when turned to heating, but it might have been because of a smell from the outside (cannot say), so we didn’t use it (didn’t even need to since there was heating on in the building. When you open the window during the evening/night the smell from the outside isnt good unfortunately (during the day no bad smells and all good; this is not an issue of the hotel, but of the places around the hotel which look more like a street market (pictures attached). With that said, the hotel is really good for what you pay and I would stay here again without any problem."
