Arrived a little early but staff was super friendly and let me check in. They also let me leave my luggage in at check out. The place is super clean with spacious bathrooms and so close to the Samgakji station which makes it a breeze to move around. Plenty of restaurants around the hostel and a convenience store just meters away. Really enjoyed my stay.

The place is just a little small but that really doesn't matter if all you do there is sleep. Which is the goal when you're travelling anyway.

Google maps isn't accurate in Seoul. Try this: after leaving Samgakji station by exit 1 continue to the nearest corner. Take a sharp right. Go left at the second street. You will be able to see the Korean War Memorial ahead of you. Look for a bright yellow door on the left side of street. Sign is above that. Two steps then 18 Stairs to get to the office and second floor rooms then another flight of 15 stairs to get to kitchen and 3rd floor rooms. 3rd floor bathroom is cold, damp and has gray tiles. Second floor bathrooms are warmer and more cheerful. The bedrooms have space heaters and can be warmed up. Staff (Amelie, Sandra and Raysa) were great. They couldn't see how I could manage the stairs, but where was I supposed to go instead? so they helped. Samgakji Station is on Metro lines 4 and 6 (although 6 was usually blocked off while I was there), two stations from Seoul Station so good access to the whole city (including airports) by Metro and buses. The crush was closer to Hamilton Hotel at Itaewon Station. I tried to go to the Gyeongdon Market Starbucks by Ch--ni Station but never found it. Korean War memorial was a close walk.

A lot of people have no problems with stairs (I never used to) but if stairs are a problem for you this place has a lot of them.

I liked the fact that it had more of a guesthouse feel to it than a hostel. Furthermore I liked: -the safety! -the friendliness of staff and other guests -the showers on the female floor were clean -the rooms are cleaned on a daily too -no outside shoes inside policy -common area (more of a kitchen and dining table) -good and convenient area with many restaurants nearby

-not much space in the room to store luggage -outside noise, on the weekends especially -no privacy curtains

Loved the place, both the staff and the guests were super friendly and helpful! The location is also extremely strategic and well-connected for sightseeing, plus the place was very clean and in order.

However (the dormitories aren’t actually mixed), unfortunately the men’s room (second floor) was seriously infested by mosquitoes. And I don’t know if I was just unlucky, but it seemed like the other people on the top beds were dealing with the same issue. Despite taking precautions, I averaged around 10 mosquito bites every single night, which made for quite the painful experience. Hope this gets fixed asap!!

The staff was very cordial. I name Sandra and Alena particularly who were very helpful whenever I felt the need of some special help in operating the appliances. They even guided me plan for my travels by bus or subway train to save expenses on local travels. The kitchen is well equipped the utencils, plates and other pieces of need.

They should put a small board at the yellow gate with name of the hause in English and Korean. Korean people are very helpful but if they need to guide us for this property, the neighbours should usually know about it. The notice on the Kitchen Storage that " YOUR MOTHER IS NOT HERE TO CLEANUP THE MESH" is an abuse and this could be said in some polite and respectful way.

Well worth the money. And a relaxed place. For me it was in the middle of things I wanted to see and do. And the sane goes for the subway 🚇 Quite many restaurants in the area, and a area for a little party or just hang either with friends or just have a coffee ☕️

Suggestions: I think it would be good with a little TLC in the rooms in the areas too. Clean up some nice warm colours. And provide guests with recommendations about food in the area. But also what to do and info about that…..History, areas for party, modern stuff ….and more ….if you start have a few odd things to do to ☃️

Very close to the (free) War Memorial of Korea meant it was very convenient to return several times. Located near a Metro station, the hostel is in a traditional alley with several authentic shops and restaurants. The kitchen is decent for cooking.

The washrooms were a little tight. However, that would be expected in an older building.

Everything in this guest house is perfect, the location is great. The bus and subway station is just 2 minutes' walking away from the guest house and the staff in specially is very friendly, my stay was amazing and if I will return to Seoul again I will definitely stay in the same guest house.

Had a great stay! The girls running the guesthouse are super cool and welcoming. The whole place is very clean and well taken care of. The accommodation is really basic but you can tell they really put effort into keeping it nice. I keep coming back The location is good.

Hause Itaewon truly lives up to its name! Nestled in the heart of one of Seoul's most foreigner-friendly and exciting international areas, my stay here was a blast. The hostel's cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff made it a home away from home. Being in Itaewon, the diverse neighborhood added a global flair to my experience. Highly recommend Hause Itaewon for a vibrant and comfortable stay in Seoul!
