Hongdae Birdsnest Hostel

Loved it! Location was incredible

Needs some renovation but it’s pretty cheap compared to other hostels so you’re getting what you paid for. The whole place is super clean though I even checked the whole mattress which was spotless.

Good hostel, central location.

Walkable distance from Hongdae area. Stinky second floor (urine smell???) and the staff wouldn’t do anything to get rid of the smell. Facilities barely decent but still quite dirty. There was absolutely not ventilation in the rooms or whatsoever. Towel provided and heating floor.

Party time. If you’re looking for a place to stay and go out and party in Hongdae. This is it 🔥

Overall, a really great place to stay. The location is superb as it’s close to major rail and buses and also close to amenities and attractions. It’s on a quiet street so there’s no traffic (people and cars alike) to keep you up at night. It has most of the things you need. It’s a bit tight for space but I didn’t mind that.

I just stayed here for one night, but I would love to stay here my next trip to Korea, everything was really nice

Pretty average stay. Kinda dirty in the bathroom and poor ventilation, but not going to kill you. Lots of rules, which are understandable to ensure people are respectful. Not a very social place but would be good for those who want something more peaceful.

I found a bed bug on the first night and did not complete my stay. The lockers were smaller than expected and did not hold a whole bag, might not fit some large laptops. The volunteer staff were nice and I was able to get a refund for the nights I didn't stay, but that felt like the bare minimum.

Fabulous hostel, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely stay here again if I return :-)

the only plus is the location, which is great, close to the main street in hongdae, but besides that its not worth it. i know its cheap and you get what you paid for but really i would recommend to pay a bit more and get a proper rest. Ac during the day is not working and rooms get too hot, stuff randomly getting into the rooms in the morning without knocking and turning on the light, that was so weird especially if you are a girl.. and there is not enough showers. not worth it

Thin sheets, people loud late, vomited on the floor, black mold in the shower rooms, ventelation fans clogged with dust. It is the cheapest hostel in the area, but it’s really not worth the trouble.

vraiment incroyable comme hostel, super bien situé et un personnel vraiment sympa, j'y ai fait de super rencontre et j'hésiterais pas a y retourner si l'occasion se présente

The hostel was pretty good, as much as you'd expect from a hostel. Problem is, due to a mistake (either mine or the systems') I booked one night instead of two. when I arrived in the evening the owner was very rude and kicked me out while I was charging my low battery phone. The people here were nice, and I'm pretty sure of the mistake hadn't happened it would have been very pleasant, but being kicked out at 10 pm with no place to sleep really left a bitter taste in my mouth

The location is great and the staff are friendly. The hostel itself needs work; plumbing issues, bedbugs, and a constant unsettling smell. The vibes at this hostel are eerie, i would not recommend it for solo travellers/those wanting to socialise.

Not welcoming staff, and one shower and two toilets for more than 20 people per floor

다음 서울 방문때에도 여기를 꼭 방문할 예정입니다. 정감이 가는 호스텔이고 리셉션 직원분들도 친절하시고 홍대 근처라 핫플도 많아서 좋아요.

It was alright. The owner was very friendly, but the property could use some work, however. They seem to rely on unpaid volunteer guests a bit too much for things, who aren’t exactly in the best position to help with things at all hours. The rooms were clean enough but the bathrooms could be cleaner and better-maintained, and the downstairs bathroom was in rough shape, with a water leak coming from the ceiling and a fair bit of mold. It wasn’t horrible, but not the best hostel I’ve b...

It's a cheap place to stay in Seoul, so if that's what you are looking for, I recommend it.
