OstelloMaree

Everything has been well thought out. You receive a basket with towels, fresh slippers, and a dental kit. I never had to wait for a shower or loo, and as I stayed for multiple days, I was assigned one of the more spacious capsules and bigger lockers. The hostel is clean and well-located (metros and buses a short walk away), and the people who work there are lovely and very helpful if you do need anything. As with any shared accommodation, the other guests of course do make a difference in how your stay is. Mine was great.

The location is quite strategic, with both Sinsa and Nonhyeon stations within a 10-mins walk. There’s a bus stop for airport limousine near Sinsa station which definitely a plus points for me. There is a slope on the way to the hotel, so if you have heavy luggage, you might need to be a little careful. That said, it wasn’t a major issue during my stay. Getting to places like Hongdae and KSPO Dome from the hotel takes around 35–40 mins, which I think is still quite reasonable and convenient. Overall, the customer service was very responsive, and the check-in process was quick and easy. What I liked most about the hotel was that the floors are separated by gender, which made me feel more comfortable during my stay. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would consider staying here again when I’m travelling solo in Seoul.

Absolutely loved my stay here, it was super comfortable and I felt very safe throughout! From the time I spent in the dining area, I noticed a lot of young travellers and even international working professionals stay here, so everyone is very respectful in regards to quiet hours, cleanliness, and minding their own business. I was impressed upon arriving to my room and was even more impressed by the smart design of the shower system! Everything is provided, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, makeup remover, towels, hair dryer, and even toothbrush+toothpaste. Even if you’re missing something there’s a CU convenience store within walking distance away. Every part of check-in was smooth including setting up your locker area ! Overall very happy with my experience!
