Amazing but there is no laundry”Very well conceptualized hostel, although, it's a non face-to-face chek in. Every day, I see the staff clean hostel. Unfortunately, there is no laundry & dryer. When asked about the nearest laundry, they said "the shared link has been masked by Agoda". But I could't find the location, neither in Agoda map nor Naver map. I see in Google map, but I couldn't find the exact location.

Never gonna stay here ever again. Issues at the check in and the staff wasn't nice with me at all!!! I'm definitely super mad.EDIT: I hope you're kidding... Do you think I'm creating stuff? You refused to refund me even though I didn't stay there since you haven't replied to me! You should be human, understand and take actions while being nice to your customers instead of replying like this. Hope you'll regret what you said. Because of your reply, I'm gonna file a police report now.

We went back Seoul Summer 2024 and pay a visit met Mr Siro. We have stayed at Hostel Haru back in Summer 2017 when our girl was 6 yrs old. The location is easy walkable to tourist spot and can walk from Myeongdong area.Nearby we loved the Cheonggyecheon Stream and can walked to Insadong and Buckhon Hanok Village too.

The hostel is clean, very nicely decorated, in an excellent location close to public transportation, convenience stores and restaurants. Check-in is done online and there is not really a person present at the reception desk, which makes the stay a little difficult. Because you receive all the stay instructions by email, many guests do not listen to them and make a lot of noise and do not consider the other guests in the dorm room. In my opinion, if the check-in is staffed, this problem can be solved and thus the experience in the hostel will improve

I was able to booked into the hostel in the last minute. Mine was a 4 in one room. This room is a little small compared to the other rooms. …

booked a 4-bed dorm room! Quite spacious, and there are privacy curtains. Hotel gives 2 towels daily, and a bottled water. Friendly staff as well.If you arrive before checkin and will stay after checkout, you can leave your things at the 10F reception.Will definitely recommend to friends 🤍🤩

Very small shared room. There are people who lived there. A disaster. Quality-price, bad. Very expensive.
