It is conveniently located near Jongno 5(o)ga subway station and 1 minute from 24 hour CU convenience store. My room was clean and quiet in the evening. The staff were fantastic and helpful. Breakfast is simple and a nice touch. I would stay here again next time I come to Seoul. ##### Arthur Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tina 12 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hostel is clean, the staff is Very nice and even carried my bag for me. Loved the window with trees outside. The room is spacious. The house slippers and separate bathroom slippers is nice too. My only complaints- the bed is very uncomfortable and the tv only gives you 3 min previews unless you have a subscription. :/ ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ae0db98e-18a5-47e2-81d4-dfea9912eeb2-1762940995451.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tina Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lucas 16 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel Great stay.

Breakfast was fairly basic - cereals, toast,, ham, cheese, spreads, boiled egg, juice and coffee - but very much what I'd have at home so no issues there. ##### Mark Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Riho 5 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at the Star Hostel Suite. From arriving to leaving the staff was very kind and helpful. The location is super convenient. We would stay here again when visiting Korea again. Thank you so much! Also the free breakfast is a nice touch. It is a very simple set up, but good and does the job. ##### Riho Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ka Yee 13 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was really friendly and helpful.

First international trip, couldn’t have found a better spot. Incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff that helped us find places to explore in Seoul. Water and breakfast available. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Good AC for the hot Korean summers. ##### Zachary Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### HANA 26 Sept 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The beds were not very clean as there were bugs in them.However, this hostel is close to the subway station and the staff was friendly and helpful. ##### HANA Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Coralee 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was perfect! Went to the wrong hotel first since I think that there is one hotel and a hostel under the same name. You get a free water purifier, free breakfast and the manager was the best. Spoke perfect English as well and was so kind. The room was really clean ! ##### Coralee Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea Issanagui 22 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a great option for travelers on a budget that want to stay somewhere central in a true Korean neighborhood. We stayed 6 nights and were so happy to choose this accommodation. It is less than a minute away from the metro so great for getting around. The Gwangjang Market is across the street, and Jongmyo Shrine, Cheongyechong and Changdukgung are all walking distance. The best thing is the staff. There is limited staff so cleaning is not usually serviced but the reception guys are always friendly and happy to give you any information. Seungdo and Alejandro too but George especially has been a star and we were sad to say goodbye. My only ask would be to have mayonnaise at breakfast for the toast! Thank you star Hostel! ##### Andrea Issanagui Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My friend and I stayed at this budget-friendly hostel in Dongdaemun, and it offered a great experience overall. The location was quite convenient—a 4-minute walk to the Airport Bus stop and even closer to a subway station, with another station about 8 minutes away. The area had plenty of great food, shopping, and pharmacies nearby, plus a market just across the property. While the entrance is located in an alley and there are a few bars nearby, it was generally quiet and felt safe. Our room was spacious and included a personal fridge, which was a nice bonus! The room was clean, although the building showed its age, which was reflected in some of the room’s features. One thing to note is that the restroom is a wet room, so the toilet, sink, and shower aren’t separated by walls or a door. The basement level had a communal kitchen with breakfast and filtered water, which I really appreciated. Lastly, the staff were fantastic—friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They even allowed us to store our luggage while we traveled to Japan, making our experience that much more comfortable. ##### Victoria Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kwong Ki Terence 11 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities There are two Star Hostel nearby. One is real hostel with shared bathroom and toilet, another one is suite that comes with individual toilet and bathroom. Location is good which is just few mins walk from metro. Just be careful that if you are a female, you should walk together with a friend because there are few karaoke lounges out there. Also, it is located near Gwangjang Market, if you go to shopping area at dongdamen, you still need to walk by 15 mins. Room is basic, little bit dated but still clean and tidy. I believe no tidy up service but not sure if it is by request. Extra towel and tissue paper are provided on a shelf in common area, you may get extra in need. Simple continental breakfast is provided everyday. Good enough if you are not demanding. Staff are nice and helpful, and provided suggestions for attraction in Seoul. It is very good for first time Traveller to Seoul. Seem they can also book local tour for a guest. Overall it is good for budget Traveller who needs a room. ##### Kwong Ki Terence Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Adriana 25 Sept 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is 10/10\. A few steps away from the metro station and bus stops. 3 minutes to the airport bus stop. Staff is very friendly! always happy to help. Complimentary breakfast is very convenient. Bread, hard boiled eggs, cheese slices, cereal and delicious coffee. The only thing is that the overall condition of the building is not so great. Rooms look old. Furniture is also very worn out. ##### Adriana Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JUGANAS JONATHAN 10 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staying here is very convenient at low price. ##### JUGANAS JONATHAN Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Archie 3 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Little hard to find but great little place ##### Archie Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haru 3 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hostel was really close to markets! ##### Haru Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mason 20 May 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Just ok ##### Mason Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Shilla Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-The-Shilla-Seoul.h15031.Hotel-Information) > > [Josun Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Gangnam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Josun-Palace.h4871.Hotel-Information) > > [Signiel Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Signiel-Seoul.h18060379.Hotel-Information) > > [N285 Hotel Insadong](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-N285HOTEL-INSADONG.h88430378.Hotel-Information) > > [THE PLAZA Seoul, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-THE-PLAZA-Seoul.h524476.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Novotel-Ambassador-Seoul-Dongdaemun-Hotels-Residences.h23489421.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Seoul Gangnam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-AC-Hotel-Seoul-Gangnam.h5156064.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Seoul.h23687046.Hotel-Information) > > [Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Shilla-Stay-Seodaemun-Seoul-Station.h9616679.Hotel-Information) > > [Boutique Hotel SB Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel-SB-Seoul.h9241185.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Thomas Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Hotel-Thomas-Myeongdong.h21873198.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Hotel Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Hotel-Seoul.h481269.Hotel-Information) > > [L7 HONGDAE by LOTTE HOTELS](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-L7-Hongdae-By-LOTTE.h22318672.Hotel-Information) > > [Lotte Hotel Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Lotte-Hotel-Seoul.h445260.Hotel-Information) > > [UH Suite The Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-UH-Suite-The-Seoul.h65308835.Hotel-Information) > > [Mondrian Seoul Itaewon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Mondrian-Seoul-Itaewon.h55294221.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Grand-InterContinental-Seoul-Parnas.h22529.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Seoul.h21727.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel President](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Hotel-President.h9725952.Hotel-Information) > > [L7 MYEONGDONG by LOTTE HOTELS](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-L7-Myeongdong-By-LOTTE.h12511672.Hotel-Information) > > [ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-ENA-Suite-Hotel-Namdaemun.h21518483.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Josun.h10554498.Hotel-Information) > > [LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-LOTTE-City-Hotel-Myeongdong.h12615733.Hotel-Information) > > [L'Escape Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-LEscape-Hotel.h27247920.Hotel-Information) > > [Amanti Hotel Seoul Hongdae](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Amanti-Hotel-Seoul.h15285451.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Josun Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-The-Westin-Josun-Seoul.h24908.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Ambassador Seoul Hotel & Serviced Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Sofitel-Ambassador-Seoul-Hotel.h68892200.Hotel-Information) > > [NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONDONG 2](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Nine-Tree-Premier-Hotel-Myeongdong-2.h17447885.Hotel-Information) > > [G2 Hotel Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-G2-Hotel-Myeongdong.h17918478.Hotel-Information)
