I stayed at Original Backpackers for two weeks. My stay was very pleasant. The rooms were maintained, cleaned, and generally nice for the time that I was there. The host was always interested in how we were doing in our stay and he actively provided tips and advice for making the most of my stay in Seoul. The free breakfast was very convenient for when you are in a hurry, when I was not in a hurry actually provided a good time to meet other guests while I was staying at the hostel. I met several people from different parts of the world staying at the hostel, which actually added to the experience. Overall, I'd stay here again when I visit Seoul in the future.

I had a fantastic time at Original Backpackers Guesthouse!
First of all, the accessibility is excellent. It’s conveniently located near major attractions, making it easy to get around. Public transportation is also easily accessible, so traveling was hassle-free.
The cleanliness of the guesthouse was also impressive. Both the common areas and the rooms were well-maintained, and the hygiene standards were excellent, providing a comfortable and pleasant stay.
Most importantly, the staff were incredibly friendly. From the moment I arrived, they gave me a warm welcome and provided helpful travel information. Their kindness and hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable.
One of the highlights was the opportunity to engage in free-talking with travelers from different countries. The lounge area was a great place to meet new people, share travel experiences, and create meaningful connections.
If you’re looking for a cozy place with a friendly atmosphere where you can meet fellow travelers, I highly recommend staying here. I would love to visit again!
