South Korea - Guest House Review: 5th Hostel, Seoul (Hostel Korea)



Last year when we visited S.Korea we stayed at Namsan Guesthouse 2. Its a nice place too and located right at Myeong-Dong, the shopping heaven. But, Namsan Guesthouse has raised their room price and all, we decided to look for some other guesthouse. After googling for days and months we chose 5th Hostel.

5th Hostel located at Geumho-Dong., Seoul. This hostel is one out of many other Hostel Korea branch. Even though it does not located at the center of big city but it is safe and less busy. The area complete with multiple convenience store, bread shop, coffee shop, restaurant and beauty shop. Most importantly, its near to subway station, Singeumho Station. From Singeumho Station to hostel is about 5 min away.

Check out their website: 5th Hostel. I don't take much picture of the guest house but thanks to google, i manage to took some of the picture to show u guys.

My personal experience, the available room is not spacious but it acceptable. There is still some space to put your begs. There is also a small CRT TV, which is good enough for entertainment before go to sleep. And while we were there (April), the weather is quite chilly. But thanks to the outspread heater on bed, we had a very quality sleep. There is also washing machine and clothes drying areas.

On hospitality wise, all workers are friendly enough to greet you whenever we bumped with each other. Because i didn't spend much time at the guesthouse, i couldn't explain more about the staffs. But looking at pictures and messages send by visitors who stayed there before, i could tell, the staffs are friendly and likeable.

For those budget traveler out there, this place is recommended.
