Eight Rest Hostel Jong-ro

Pro's: location, staff, amenities (kitchen, washer&dryer), suprisingly great shower pressure, smooth check-in/check out

Con's: there must be a karaoke place on the floors below because I was listening to them every night (and it was not good), be aware that it is a hostel so you will hear everything that your next door neighbours are doing and when they are coming and going, the size for the room was great for myself but if I imagine two people in there, it would definitely have be a lot trickier.

Very nice staff, good location to get around, pillows were comfortable

Mattress was a bit hard for my standards, sadly didn't have a room with the sink outside of the bathroom which was a bit of a hassle sometimes after a shower.

Fantastic location. Few minutes to 2 metro stations, connecting you to the most important parts of the city. Multiple bus stops right outside the building. Within walking distance to 2 markets, City Wall, DDP and other attractions. The room itself was lovely, bed comfortable, and water pressure was incredible.

The walls are very thin... also, I had the terrace room, so I couldn't leave my window or curtains open, as people would look in or easily walk in..

The bed was very comfortable, the location is good to see many nice areas of Seoul

Most of the rooms are close to the common kitchen. We heard people going in and out and cooking stuff at like 1 AM and again at 7/8 AM. There were kids going around the common area in early morning screaming (of course they don’t understand what could be annoying or not), and we could hear everything from our room. In general if you’re not susceptible to noises and want to save some money, this could be a perfect solution. Otherwise I’d spend something more to get a more relaxing experience.
