I loved the hostel, great location, right next to the metro and super clean. The only part I disliked was the lack of respect and human decency from others staying there aswell. Letting the door slam at like 3 am and not caring about anyone else trying to sleep, a few times I was woken up by someone just slamming stuff about early hours in the morning. I also think the hairdryer should be stopped earlier like 11pm, as it is quite loud and wakes you up when you have an early morning. Its not the hostel itself but thought id say if you wanted a quiet place to stay this one isnt it.

Of all the hostels I've stayed in Seoul in my eleven visits, I must say that this is one of my favorites so far. Aside from the high ratings I've provided, this hostel gave me a lot of happy memories which I will really remember :) Special mention to the hardworking and friendly staff, Hye, for the exceptional services she extended during my stay :) Location - it is located a stone's throw away from Ehwa Women's University, and few blocks away from the subway station so this place is somehow strategic (lots of shops, cafe, restaurants around, although they close a bit early -- beginning 7:30 pm). Taxis also pass by the area regularly so it is also easy to get a ride when you need one. Bed - the room for the eight dorm beds is quite small, with a little space for everyone to walk in to so if you have big luggage, you need to store it in the common area outside the room (but it's safe, don't worry! There are CCTV cameras all over common areas). The dorm bed itself is quite spacious, though. If you have a small luggage, it can also fit beside the mattress. I don't like super soft mattress so the one that's provided is good enough for me. The only issue that I have is that I move a lot in sleep, and the mattress creates a sound like crumpling paper or plastic even in small movements haha! Breakfast - basic breakfast is offered, but is enough to fill you up for the morning grind (bread for toasting, eggs, cereals, milk, juice, coffee, tea). There are also basic cooking utensils in the dorm so if you feel like cooking basic meals, you can also do so. WIFI connection is also not an issue because common areas and even the rooms (and bathrooms!) have fast internet connection.

It's not that I didn't like, but just a comment so others would also have an idea to also set their expectations :) The facility is situated at the third floor of the building WITHOUT an elevator. So if you have a heavy luggage, it can get quite hard to bring it up in flights of staircases. Rooms are not 100% sound proof so some outside noise tend to seep in the doors/small open spaces under the door.

Had an amazing stay at Philstay Ehwa Boutique. Check-in was easy and hassle-free. You can store medium-sized suitcases under your bed, which is really convenient. The curtain on the bed offers nice privacy. I really liked the fact that there was space right next to the bed to put some of my stuff. The services offered are great: breakfast, towels that can be changed every day and even toiletries if you've forgotten yours (shampoo, shower gel). The staff is also really kind and worked hard to keep everything clean. Easy access to all the city's points of interest thanks to the subway station just a little walk away.

Full of facilities! I love this place. The price per nice is good. Moreover, they included breakfast such as bread, egg, milk, orange juice, con-flake. They have the laundry! And they have like 5 toilets so it's enough for all guests. I do not have to wait for using the toilet. And the toilets are clean. The location is good also. I could walk straight from Ewha uni. Station. The staffs are super nice! And this place is safe for woman who travel alone like me. I would recommend everyone for staying here.

I got the 2nd bed. So, it's a little bid hard to clim there. And for my 2nd day, there was the construction at another floor and It's loud since morning.

Just 5 minutes walk from Ewha station, you can come here by subway or airport bus no. 6002. 7-11 and plenty of restaurants nearby, Olive Young right under the property with not too crowded but not too quiet neighborhood. Free self-cook easy breakfast, eggs, bread, cereal, milk and juice. Comfy bed with blinder as shown in the photo so you can have your own personal space.

I think 8 beds room might be too crowded comparing the room size and can be a little bit noisy, 4 or 6 beds would be better (6 is the best, I tried every room here already and 6 is the biggest).

I recommend this location. The hostel could be found easily, Check-In was quick and without any difficulties. The curtains on the bunk beds provided great privacy! The beds were also very cozy. I felt especially relaxed as it was a women-only hostel. There were also enough bathrooms, hair-dryers and even towels provided. The breakfast was to my satisfication as well (toast, eggs, cereal, jam). The breakfast area is also a good spot to find new friends! I would book this hostel again.

Unfortunately, this time I had to share my room with a lady who started roaming around in the room at 4 am, slaming doors and creating much noice which woke me and my fellow roommates up various times a night. In addition, hostel staff sometimes started vaccuuming even before CO time, while leaving the door to my room open. This might be unfortune especially when you are still jetlagged BUT something that I always expect when booking a shared room instead of a hotel. So I am not too mad about it.

first of all, I want to note that I liked the location. from here, it is convenient to go to both Hongdae and historical places (Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokkun, etc.), very close to the 2nd line of the subway, many buses that go in different directions. the place is quite quiet, near two big universities. the rooms have air conditioning. slippers, towels, shampoo/shower gel, and hairdryer are provided. The bed is comfy and I had 2 pillows provided. the hostel has its own rules regarding the use of a hairdryer - a big plus for me. each bed is separated by a shutter so as not to disturb the neighbors. there are 4 sockets and a separate light by the bed. The breakfast provided was good. The luggage may be stored before check-in time// after checkout

- no elevator at the place (if you have big luggage, it might be a drawback) - inconvenient to turn on the private light if you have an upper bed - while showering, the water periodically gets cold as other people are also using the water. an unpleasant bonus in the form of a contrast shower. Although the air conditioner worked at 25°, my room was cold in the morning

The location was good only about 5 mins walk to the subway/underground station. The staff were nice and I was quite comfortable in the 4 bed room. A simple breakfast is available Cereal, toast, eggs and coffee which you make yourself if you want it. There are washing machines available for use, though I was only there 3 nights and didn't use them.

It didn't bother me as I only had a backpack, but there is no elevator and the hostel is on the 3rd floor so I can see it might be difficult if you had a large suitcase or some mobility issues.

This is probably the best hostel that I've ever stayed! The toilets, bed and eating area were reasonably clean. The security was great as there're passcodes both for accessing the hostel and your room. There're enough toilets for everyone to use. There were some noise at night but it's acceptable and bringing a pair of earbud would help. The staff was very nice and responsive. The hostel is located near subway station - very convenient and you don't have to worry about safety too much when you go back to hostel at late night. Would definitely recommend this place to girls coming to Seoul on their own!

Nothing really.

This hostel is in a very ideal location, not too touristy, perfect during autumn, close to everything! They provide breakfast (cereal, eggs, tea, coffee, juice, milk, bread), towels, adaptor, shampoo, liquid soap. They also have hairdryers and the capsules are so spacey compared to the other ones I’ve stayed in. The first room I stayed has a bit narrow common middle space but I was transferred to another room since I requested a bottom bunk for the next half of my stay there and that room has a lot more space. The owner is very nice too, she let me leave my luggage there while I go to places outside Seoul, such a huge help to me, I’m very grateful~ My previous go-to accommodation closed down due to pandemic so I’m glad I found this new one! Will probably always stay here during my visits in Seoul from now onwards
