The location near Dongmyo metro station is perfect, right in front of the subway station and close to 2 subway stations. You can easily explore the city from there. The room was great, with comfortable beds and enough space to move around. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was available early upon request. The facilities, such as the fans inside the room and the option to ask for air conditioning, provide comfort during hot days.
The cleanliness of the room needs improvement.

I stayed at Hostel Korea - Original in Seoul for 3 nights, and it was perfect for my needs. I loved the 24/7 availability of tea and coffee in the kitchen. My room, with its own bathroom, offered plenty of privacy. The breakfast options, including the ability to cook my own eggs, were a great touch. Despite being past breakfast hours, the staff made sure I had a satisfying meal. The peaceful and quiet atmosphere was an added bonus.
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Some guests mentioned that the towels provided by the hostel are small and not sufficient for wrapping around their bodies.

The location of the hostel was great, being close to the metro station made it convenient to explore the city. It was nice to have breakfast included, and the options provided like toast, eggs, and cereal were sufficient. One of the best aspects was the value for money, especially if you're looking for a cheap single room.
It was a common theme among Korean hostels, but having the shower above the toilet was inconvenient. Sometimes, the staff was a bit late in preparing breakfast.

We loved the well-equipped three-person room with beds, table, tv, fridge, and plenty of electric outlets. The kitchen was clean and served a basic breakfast. It was great to have tea and coffee available 24/7. The room provided enough privacy. The owner and staff, James and Cindy, were extremely helpful and took care of me when I was injured. The location was in a nice neighborhood with easy access to public transportation.
Felt very homey, no complaints.

The location of this hostel is superb! It is conveniently located between two subway stations, making it easy to travel around the city. Additionally, there is a bus station nearby, which is perfect for getting to and from the airport. Being situated in a calm area adds to the overall peaceful atmosphere of the hostel.
The kitchen, however, can feel slightly cramped when it's crowded with guests.
