Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 1,261 reviews
A budget hostel in Seoul's Dongdaemun-gu, Sinsoldong, right by Sinseol-dong Station subway. Reviews frequently praise the convenient location.
Guests highly rate the location. It's a 1-minute walk from the station exit, easy with luggage, and close to convenience stores and restaurants. Self check-in via LINE or KakaoTalk to get the card key works fine once you're used to it. Rooms are small but adequate for sleeping.
Many complaints about cleanliness. Stains on bedding, cigarette smell, mold, dust are common mentions. Unstable heating or hot water, poor soundproofing are repeated issues. No staff on site means slow response to problems.
Suitable for backpackers or solo travelers prioritizing cheap price and location.
