Everything about H hostel is amazing. The location is very central in Seoul, which makes a perfect base to explore all areas of the city. The rooms are very comfortable and extremely clean. The breakfast is yummy and the common areas are super cosy and you can always hangout there to meet other people or plan the rest of your trip. I also felt super safe. Cherry on the cake: the staff is absolutely the best! Epi, Johnny, Amelie and the other colleagues have been super friendly and gave me tons of tips on where to go in Seoul and in Korea. H Hostel is a place you will come back to every night feeling like home. I 100% recommend it.

I cant praise the owners high enough. Everything they did for me was beyond exceptional. Henry the manager, allowed me to check in early and check out late. Mr. Lee, the owner booked an Uber car for me as I had no idea how to book one in Korea. He paid with his own credit card and just charged to my room. Then he accompanied me to the pick up point. He insisted i sit in the back, Im guessing for safety reasons. He spoke to the driver, Im assuming to give instructions as the driver keeps on nodding his head. I felt very safe. After checking out , he insisted he helps me to carry my luggage to the pick up point. I have gained a new friend and he said the same. To me Seoul DDJ Stay is not just a hotel. It is a home. Their level of hospitality would be hard to beat even by those so called 5 star hotels. I have plans to visit Korea again, this time with family. Can't wait to check in with them again.I very highly recomend this business.

Pretty good stay, really enjoyed it Owner/Manager were very attentive and flexible. Room lends itself for a great sleep. Had good airco in the heat of the summer. Benefits from central location. Good, cheap restaurants around the corner. Metro very close. Comfortable though -like everything in Seoul- very packed and comes at a steep price. (Smaller cities are much cheaper and have more rooms.) Really enjoyed our stay here. I give high marks as I would like to support the owner. Only expect a basic, affordable tourist hotel so your expectations are fully met.

It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.

This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
