OPPA Hostel Sinchon-Hongdae
2.5 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (371)
"If you are looking for a reasonably priced hotel, I recommend OPPA Hostel. Richard is a wonderful host and he goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable as much as possible. The room was clean and I had enough space to reorganize my luggage before I checked out. The washroom is a shower, toilet and sink combined, not ideal but you get used to it. The location is convenient and pretty quiet at night (4 min walk to Sinchon station). Would definitely return when I come back to Seoul."

"Stayed here for 3 nights while in Sinchon. All the staff and the owner were extremely kind of helpful. There are tons of cafes & good restaurants nearby as well as Yonsei university. The building is very modern and there is a lot of shopping around as well if that's your thing. This is also the cheapest place in the area, but it didn't feel like a cheap place to me at all."

8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (104)
" I give this property an overall grade of 4 out of 5. The rooms may be not spacious compared to the hotels that I stayed and they don’t clean your room not after 4 days of stay. They can also improve their breakfast menu and their self serve laundry facility. However, they are located along the famous “Myeongdong Night Market” and “Myeongdong Cathedral”. Specially the staff are friendly, courteous, and able to speak English. I recommend to the owner to increase the salary of their staff who...

"The guesthouse itself served its purpose for my overnight stay in the area. The bed was clean, and the staff was helpful and informative. The bathroom in my dorm was interesting in that if the sink ran too long, the floor flooded. Also, our dorm room door stayed unlocked the entire night. It wasn't a problem, but it defeated the purpose of giving us room keys. "

"Oh my goodness, where do I even start? Staying here added a special kind of magic to my trip that I will never forget. The owner Kwangsup is an absolute gem of a person who became my good friend during my time here. He and his family run the place and that personal touch is what makes it so magical. Their kindness is above and beyond and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Seoul. I could write on and on for hours about this place and still wouldn’t be able to sufficiently say how amazing it was. "

"It was a nice hostel and the room has great aircon, mine had a nice view and it’s pretty close to the river. The only draw back is they’re mostly staff-less so you have to do your own check in and email them your passport. They also don’t have secure luggage storage. You just leave it behind an unmanned desk which everyone has access to. There’s also stairs of you’re staying up on the 12th floor with no lift option."

"This hotel was perfect. The location is ideal if you would like to enjoy the night market or do some shopping. The location has so much within walking distance. We knew the rooms would be small, but it worked well for our family of four and our kids loved their spaces. The staff was really the best part. Both at check in and check out. The staff was phenomenal. They spoke wonderful english and were incredibly helpful. Our flight came in late, and they texted to make sure we knew how to check...

"This hostel is 2 mins walk from metro station, surrounded with many restaurants, coffee shops and a big Seoul Forest Park, the ambience is cozy and chill which you can feel another side of Seoul. We rented a private room with a private bathroom which was nice, clean and quiet though not very big. They also have a common kitchen for cooking and eating, provided with free water and tea which is a credit. Their rooftop is spacious and good for reading and chatting. Their host is super nice...

"The room was great! I loved how we could wash our clothes and cook food with the small, yet most accommodating kitchen! The only thing I would have to say is that the amenities could have been slightly better as there was less than half a bottle of detergent, hand soap and showering necessities. There was also limited amount of towels provided. If you wanted your room to be cleaned or other amenities, you would have to pay an extra fee. However, my friend and I only stayed 5 nights so we were...
