A stone's throw from the metro, check in until midnight, very thin mattresses, bathrooms outside the rooms divided between females and males, good atmosphere especially in the evening, very social hostel. Very helpful staff. They give you a face towel.

This has more of a youth hostel vibe than a guesthouse :) I was super skeptical at first because of past reviews, but honestly for the price, it is very good. Of course, my dorm was not 5-star, but the bed was comfortable, and my bedmates (mixed dorms) were in extremely polite and considerate! I've slept very well. I've stayed in other "better" guesthouses where people were being super inconsiderate after 11pm. The bathrooms and showers were pristine when I was there. Staff were super nice!

Our room was not cleaned before we got in. Bed sheets were full of hairs and the trash was not emptied. Communal space was also not clean; toilet smelled als fridge was dirty. There were also only male toilets/showers on my floor.

Surprise Hotel is an affordable youth hostelOur family of four booked a quadruple room with its own bathroom.There are water dispensers and kitchens in public spaces where you can cook food.You can often see some foreigners cooking hereThe hotel's front desk staff is different every dayThere is often no one at the counter, so I wonder ifThey are all part-time workers who manage the hotel independently.The luggage storage area is just a small room with no lock.It doesn't look very safe, even though it was stored for a day, it was fineThe room is big, the bathroom is big, and the floor is not very cleanIt looks dirty and the TV in the room has no instructions at all.Room equipment is not ideal, but the price is cheapIf you want to meet some foreigners while travelingThis is a good choice, many foreign students live hereThere are many convenience stores near the hotel, no matter which way you go outVery convenient, very close to the subway station.The transportation here is impeccable, and you can walk to Seomyeon Station shopping district.It's also very close

Good location, close to a metro station. The checkin/checkout procedures are very simple. The room is clean and spacious.On the other hand, the walls are very poorly soundproofed and obviously the travelers staying in this hostel did not understand that others were trying to sleep there. So the showers are open all night and some people allow themselves to go between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m., putting on music, laughing and talking loudly in the corridors and in the rooms.I only stayed there two nights but that was enough for me.

The staff was prompt, and check-in is easy. For the value, it's a great place to crash, but I wouldn't stay longer than maybe 2 days, especially if you want to meet people.

Disappointed, the room is not clean, the shared toilets even less, and does not respond to messages. Great if you want to hear neighbors conversations at 3am. Move on there are better hostels nearby
