Birdsnest Hostel Hongdae

Very cozy. Nice and friendly staff. Very conveniently located near food and fun places. Would definitely recommend.

Staff 24/7. Felt like traveling with friends

I like the private room I stayed and loved the location of the hostel. The staff were very helpful. The only thing is that some of the other lodgers were not very respectful of the other people including the staff. They were loud at night and were not following the hostel rules.

This hostel is very underrated. I can't quite comprehend how it's rating is 7/10 on many booking sites. For the price that I paid (about £7.80) per night, the value was exceptional. The entire place was organised efficiently whilst maintaining a volunteer based friendly atmosphere. They have volunteers from Germany, the U.S. and South Africa and this makes for a fun environment. I unfortunately only snapped one picture as I was leaving, however, there is a very spacious upstairs too with lots of common space as well as an outside area. The location is great and there is a kitchen with a stove, microwave and hot water dispenser. Towels are included, as are bathroom soaps and shampoo. Would recommend 110% if the price is right.
