Hongdae Birdsnest Hostel

Do not stay here. It is so much dirtier than in the photos. No common space, just a lobby with a desk. Owner/manager is off-site and uses the work-trade system, so staff don’t actually know anything because they are just working there for a free place to stay. I tried to leave early after the first night because i was afraid of getting bed bugs (have before in a place like this) and they wouldn’t give me back my passport until I paid for all 4 nights. Feel ripped off and disgusted
