Yakorea Hostel Gangnam

Vị trí đẹp, tiện lợi

The hostel is in a great location, minutes away from Line 2 and lots of shops and restaurants around. Staff is all very nice and you can cook at the hostel if you are on a low budget. Very good price for the location, Gangnam is such a wonderful area.

Although there should be quiet time after 11 pm there were people chatting away every night till 2 am. My first two days were also spent with nearly no sleep because the girls in the room kept on packing and chatting till 3 am. I wouldn't book again here simply because there is no control over this, girls working here are not real staff, they stay and work in the hostel for free accommodation which also shows in the cleanliness of the place - they are doing the best they can I am fully aware of that, but professional cleaning service is just different. You can use the laundry but it comes with a fee of 6000 won which I found too much - other places I have been to had free laundry or lower price.

1. I liked freedom atmosphere in the hostel. 2. And specially I liked Victoria who was always smiling and always ready to help customes. She was like a sunshine. 3. And I liked happy people around

1. That the hostel's payment terminal did not accept my bank cards ... (at the same time I was able to pay in other places) ... and the male employee was treating me very officially and cold like I'm trying to lie that I have money on my account. Later he turned out to be nice but the first impression was really bad. 2. That the bathrooms run out of toilet paper sometimes in the mornings

Staff was friendly, but the service was nothing remarkable or memorable. Victoria was nice. Very close distance to 선릉 subway station. Mattresses were comfortable and rooms were a comfortable temperature.

Entrance area very cluttered with shoes all over the floor - it's like you had to jump over them whenever you walked in. Bathrooms didn't feel clean - there was hair all over the floor. Sheets and blankets on beds didnt feel clean. The place felt very makeshift... like it wasn't really built or designed to be a hostel but someone just crammed one in. Not a lot of places open nearby once it got dark.
