I chose this place because there were so many nice reviews and now I'll add one! I really loved my stay in Bunk Guesthouse. I will always remember it! I stayed in this guesthouse for 7nights and travelled alone but I met so many awesome people here so I wasn't alone at all. All staff are extremely kind and especially Brian. I had an accident and needed to go to hospital asap.. and Brian took me there. Brian also tries to remember guests by their names. He knows area well. He is awesome and kind person and brings extremely good vibes to this hostel. I liked how the toilets and showers werent in the same room. So no need to queue for toilets/shower because someone is taking forever. The towels might be small for western "taste". The breakfast area brings people together. You can prepare your own breakfast there. It is also fun hangout spot before going out with people you meet :) There is also rooftop area and it is pretty cool to see at evening time. This guesthouse really goes above and also organizes trips if there are enough interested guests. Please notice that they only take cash payment for the trips. This guesthouse is in Hongdae area so don't be surprised that in this area clubs and places are more for "young" people. There is also possibility to do your laundry, I didn't need to use that one but just saying. It is super near to metro station and nice stores. The location is super. This hostel is perfect for solotravellers who want to be social and meet new friends! I truly recommend. I miss this place already.

The owner is very attentive to the arrival and reception of the guests. Excellent location, near the train station that goes directly to the airport. In addition, the area is a very lively area, full of restaurants and shops. Very good area to stay in Seoul. Breakfast is basic but sufficient. The rooms are small, they do not have luggage lockers, but there are still cameras everywhere. I felt very safe.

My stay at Bunk hostel was the best overall hostel experience I’ve had so far. First I really liked the place with rooftop, kitchen and chillout area, where you can spend days and nights with other guests. The location is perfect, close to the subway (4 minutes walk) and in the heart of Hongdae. The dorm is basic, nice & clean and it even has windows (not very common in Seoul). Two toilets and two showers are shared in the hallway. Brian and Astrid are the heart of this hostel, always there to help and care. This hostel is perfect for socializing. I’ve met so many nice people and friends there, that it was hard to leave in the end. Thank you for this experience, I’ll definitely come back!

A shelf or hook in the bathrooms would’ve helped, but that’s only a minor thing and icing on the cake. :)

The location is perfect. Not in the middle of the busy hongdae street but not far away. The place has 2 buildings that are nice and spacious for hanging around and meeting other travellers. The host is lovely and awesome. Ready to help with anything and solve problems.

My friend dropped her charger between the bed and the wall. While moving the bed a little bit we noticed used papers/toothpicks and uncleanness. Got us feeling quite uncomfortable.

Convenient location in the heart of the vibrant Hongdae neighborhood, easily reachable from the airport by direct airport train arriving to Hongik metro station, which is 5 minutes’ walk from the guesthouse. My room was clean, quite basic. Good price/quality ratio. Very good hospitality, guest are made feel welcome. The guesthouse organizes tours for the guests. I went on DMZ trip, which was very interesting. Our host, Brian, took us to the places which would be very difficult to reach otherwise and showed us an authentic Korea. I highly recommend to take a tour while staying in Bunk

I would add some sweet options for breakfast. E.g. fruit juice, cookies etc.

The host, Brian, was super kind and helpful. He really made my trip to Seoul great. He pointed out places to shop and eat at, and he always made me feel welcomed. When I visit Seoul again, I'll definitely be staying here again thanks to Brian's hospitality. The location is also excellent. It's near Hongdae, which is a hip part of town, so lots of bars, restaurants and vintage clothing stores, and the closest station, Hongik University Station, goes directly to the airport. It's also on Line 2, which goes directly to the Meongdeong area (not Meongdeong station but still within walking distance) The rooms are well-kept, and even small towels are provided (although I recommend bringing your own). There's a charging port in the lobby, which is perfect, if, like me, you hadn't realized the outlets in Korea are different than the US Breakfast is nice: toast, eggs, spreads, and an espresso machine. On weekends, cup noodles are also offered. All-in-all, a fantastic place for an excellent price.

The only quibble I have is with the showers - there are two but only one can really be used at a time, since the hot water is seemingly shared between both. However, it's something that can't be helped and can be mitigated by taking a shower later at night.

Good location and easy walking distance to the subway station. Heaps of restaurants, etc, nearby. Bed was comfortable with Korean style bed linen. Power point near the bed. Breakfast was typical bread, butter, cheese slices, spreads, eggs and juice. Some English news programs on TV. I was able to use the washer and drying for 7000 won after some luck in running into the owner and being able to ask. I never saw him again!

WiFi was quite slow. There was never anyone at reception and no response to the bell. The people in the next room were very noisy, and it sounded like they were dragging furniture around in the middle of the night. The room was certainly not soundproof.

The location couldn't be better. Brian was also a very nice and gracious host and the place was very clean, with constant cleaning of the bathroom areas and cold water readily available. The private bathroom was big enough and the common area was nice and comfortable. Laundry and drier very cheap.

The room was super small (private bunk bed room), which I did not expect by the pictures initially. It was me and my cousin and we couldn't both be standing around at the same time doing stuff. The mattresses I found very hard and not very comfortable. Whilst Brian, the owner, was perfectly able to communicate in English, the other staff although nice and willing to help, had an extremely limited knowledge of the language, a bit frustrating. Still, no complaints on the personnel per se.

We had a very nice experience at the Bunk Guesthouse! The location is excellent, Hongdae is a very nice area to stay in Seoul, with a very nice feel to it and a lot of shops and restaurants around! The private room was big and comfortable, the beds were comfortable. It was hot inside the room and the AC didn’t work the first night but we asked Brian and he fixed it right away. The private bathroom is outside, and the only inconvenience we had was that the toilet clogged the last day and we had to try to fix it ourselves… There is a nice breakfast included and the coffee is excellent. It’s a very good place for long stays in Seoul, especially for the price.

The hostel was clean, Brian and Astrid were wonderful. The location was great, Breakfast was simple but delicious

I'm just being picky but it would be good if the bunks had a curtain for privacy. Also the towels were small and there wasn't enough shelf in the bathroom to place clothing. It was also awkward to have the toilet right next to the kitchen
