Very small rooms, there are only hand towels for the shower, a very minimal breakfast and even though we pay quite a bit per night, they require us to clean the dishes after us. No room cleaning. Most of the time there is no one at the reception so there was no one to ask questions and no one to help. Overall clean and the location is definitely excellent, but does not justify the high price.

Don’t hesitate to book a room at Hostel Tommy!I’m so happy we decided to stay here, as the location of this gem is incredible, considering it is walkable to a lot of Seoul’s most popular sights. The people working here are also so sweet, and you really feel welcome.Do not expect luxury tho, but do expect a clean bed, a filling breakfast, warm shower, fast WiFi and a good nights sleep. Such high value for money, will recommend this place to anyone looking to visit Seoul!
