Backpackers INSIDE Reviews

The staff are really friendly and helpful. I was hoping there could be some organised gathering though at the guesthouse hahas

We really like this hostel, staff (especially Roy))), location of this hostel - near the subway, shopping street, and two palaces! Really cheap hostel for facilities we had in our room. Hope come back again. Thanks for your help!

The beds are a little bit too small.

Love the hostel and it is in an excellent location too. Excellent staff and really friendly and helpful. I will go back and stay at this hostel again next time I go to Seoul.

Had a great stay and met amazing other travelers to hang out with. Good place with fantastic staff!

I had an incredible time at Backpackers Inside - staying here definitely made my trip as good as it was! It was really easy to meet other travelers (really cool and interesting people) and the staff were so friendly and helpful! The place has a ton of character, a very good location, and is great value. Next time I'm in Seoul, I'll definitely try to stay here first!

Hostel was clean and our room (twin private) was equipped with a TV/computer, stove+sink, and a small refrigerator. The bed was really comfortable. Staffs were really friendly and gave good advice. No complains at all with regard to the facilities/staff. Location was good although we got lost trying to locate it at night. Instructions to getting there could have been clearer (e.g. walk towards faceshop (which will be on the left)...)

One of the best traveling experience I've had. the staff were professional, courteous, and personable. JiYeon, Britt and Roy were all very helpful.

I would stay here every time I was near.

Super nice and cosy hostel. Britt, Minyong, Mia and Jieong (seriously, I still dont know how to write her name) are the nicest staff ever. Only hostel I've been to here in Asia that has a kitchen. Free breakfast and towels - such a luxury! Close to the metro and shopping opportunities. If you have question, ask the staff, they know for sure!

The staff treats you so kindly and welcomes you to their public outings. They have informal and spontaneous movie, game, or movie nights. The owners printed out maps for me to go to a nearby Korean bath and made reservations and printed me a map and directions to go to a friendly guesthouse in another part of Korea. The area in which the hostel is located is near a university and seemed very safe. They also respect guests' religions and cultures. I've already made reservations to go back.

We love the self-with kitchen! The living room is also great!! All of us had fun there. There're lots of interesting small decorations. The boss left us great impression as from the pictures on the wall, we found he had been to so many interesting places and he lived in Africa for one month. All his pictures are amazing! The only sadness is that the gap between ensuit twin bedroon and twin beds domi. The domi is too small but it's only 60rmb cheaper.we recomend the ensuit cause it worth money!

I enjoyed my stay at backpackers inside very much. It is such a great place and the staff is super friendly and nice. The atmosphere is great. The location is perfekt to explore Seoul. It is clean and the prices are very student/ low budget friendly. I will highly recommend this hostel to all my friends who will be going to Seoul... I hope I can come back one day... Thanks for everything guys!

Even though I basically only went back to Backpackers INSIDE to sleep, I loved the hostel. Everyone who worked there or was staying there was extremely friendly and fun to hang out with when I did have some time to spend in the hostel. I definitely want to go back and stay there again.

It has been one of my most amazing hostel stays considering this is my first time traveling alone. PLUS at Backpackers Inside, you don't have to be afraid of finding out how to get from one place to another in Seoul, or eateries and places to visit because the staffs are incredibly friendly and they will try their best to ensure that we are well taken care of. It is also a place where you can mingle around and make friends from other countries. The only setback? Not enough Asians.

Great hostel, staff and value for money. The location is excellent, easy to find and nearby everything like palaces, shopping districts, 24/7 grocers, great restaurants and lively surrounding due to its proximity to Sungkyunkwan University. The heating system is pretty efficient, cleanliness is spotless and the staff's willingness to help is remarkable. They have lots of maps and tour aids to help you. Special thanks to Juyeon as she was not around when I checked out.

I think I was unlucky, but I didn't get any sleep at all during night time, because of all the noise my dorm mates made during the night and had to get my sleep during the hours before lunch. A lot of lights was going on and off and much commotion.The first night a guy flooded the bathroom when puking from drinking to much soyu. And there wasn't any hot water the first day (some smart ass had turned it off and the first staff guy didn't know how to fix it...) But maybe I only was very unlucky...

Very nice place , very clean and convenient and nice staff

the best hostel i have ever lived in Seoul! really good for money! the hostel provides towel, eggs, bread and washing machine for free! strongly recommended!!

We had an amazing time at Backpackers. The staff was really nice and went the extra mile to help us get to where we wanted to go and feel real comfortable. Britt brought us out to food and even hooked us up with watching the Super Bowl in the common room! The other guests were also great and I felt very comfortable the whole time I was there. Definitely would go back and I recommend it to anyone travelling in Seoul.
