Dirty, not great social aspect, no social area
Worst hostel I've ever stayed at. Bathrooms aplenty, but dirty. Loose hairs, mildew, mold aplenty. Lots of people that stay there permanently, my room had two guys that had taken over the whole room. Their clothes and shoes were all over the room. No lockers to use, no places to put your bags. They work at night so they sleep all day, you can never turn the light on and sort your stuff out. All forgivable except for the one thing: the room stank. It had that smell that stings and makes your eyes water. Because these guys never leave, the room seems to never get cleaning service. No social area besides the kitchen / dining room table. It'd be nice if there was a couch and TV like a living room. They should limit the stay of these people to a week. It's ridiculous that they make it like their home, and a disgusting home at that.

There were no screens on the windows, and they didn't tell you where to find like the wifi password or things like that, and nothing about where the shared lounge was or any rules for it

I stayed at YaKorea Hostel Gangnam for 1 night. Room was okay - clean and tidy. Linen and towels provided. Staff is helpful and speaks good English. it was no problem to arrange late check-in. Location is very good. I satisfied with my stay.

The hostel itself is great, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The only thing I didn’t like was that the other guests continually slammed their room and bathroom doors, until 1 in the morning, and then started again at 6 in the morning, so I only got 5 hrs of sleep.

受付の男性が親切でした。英語で説明してくれます。新しい訳ではないけど問題ないです。女性スタッフがけっこう時間をかけて丁寧にバスルームを掃除しているのを見かけました。汚くないし臭くもなかったです。トイレットペーパー流せます。ドライヤー置いてあります。耳栓貰えます。 2段ベットにカーテンが無いのであればもっと良かったなと思いました。

場所がわかりにくかった。 トイレが汚かった。 同室の人がチェックアウトしても1日以上清掃に来なかった。 その人が散らかしてった共同の机とかゴミ箱とか片付けてくれなかったのが不満。 受付は白人女性でしたが英語しか喋らなかったし早口で何言ってるのかさっぱりでした。 共同スペースにいらした日本人男性(多分お客さん)が代わりに説明してくれて助かりました。 日本人にはあまり優しくない施設かな。 安いから文句はありませんが、行く人は気をつけてください。

ゲストハウス自体が初めての宿泊だったので他のゲストハウスがどんなものかわからないけど、玄関は靴が散乱していて中に入ったら少し臭かった けどフロントの人は親切で色々わからない事を聞いたら私でもわかるよーな簡単な英語で丁寧に教えてくれた 1人部屋を取ったので他の部屋はわからないけど写真で見た通りTVもついてて値段の割に個人的には全然まし(有り)だと思った ただ寝返り打っただけでベッドが動くし変な音がした しーてゆーなら共同で使うトイレが汚かったのがちょっと気になった …けど安いしゲストハウスだしまあそんなもんなのかな、、、？

no fue la mejor estancia en seul, las personas que estaban hospedadas alli no respetaron el horario de silencio, hablaban muy alto y se reian de modo que no nos dejaron dormir, nos quejamos ante el administrador pero de nada valio.

급하게 하루 묵고 갔는데 하루 묵기 나쁘지 않았어요 침구류 위생은 나쁘지 않았고, 전반적인 시설 설비는 기대크게 안 하고 보면 그냥저냥. 화재에는 취약 할 것 같은 구조였습니다.

I had a nice stay at the YaKorea Hostel. The price is good, the location is convenient and central, and the staff is also very friendly - especially Ina, she was very good at giving advice on where to eat, what to do and what to see.
