I really enjoyed staying at this hostel. The staff made a point of connecting with each and every traveler on a personal basis plus they made every effort to help you plan your trip and enjoy Seoul and Korea to the fullest. The atmosphere was also relaxed and easy going but not disorderly and very clean compared to other hostels in the same price range which are often dirty, disorderly and you have to worry about security. I highly recommend this hostel to others. You'll love it!

Bong is a good guy and he runs a great hostel. The facilities are all standard but I think what sets this place apart is the area its located (next to a college, tons of places to eat and bars available all nite) and the character of the staff and clients. Theres a hep little bar next door too, handy to sit around and chat with other guests over a beer.

This hostel is an incredible place to stay. The staff were friendly, there was a nice welcoming atmosphere from the people when I walked in. My room was great, better than I had anticipated. I got a single private room. It was very clean, I had my own bathroom, and it was in a well secured building (although some people kept leaving the door open downstairs). The location was amazing.. There are lots of restaurants, cafes and shops nearby. I would and will reccommend this hostel to anyone!

Great location in a vibrant part of town with lots of restaurants, cafes and bars, but also easily walkable to big attractions downtown (palaces, shrines, etc) and the art areas Insadong and Samcheongdong. Friendly helpful staff. Modest, yet clean facilities. Hot water, warm room, reasonably comfortable bed. Excellent value for a hostel.

My time there was great and will definitely stay at the Bong house again for my next visit. Mr. Bong and his staff are wonderful, helpful and friendly. It's an absolute plus for a new girl in town and don't know very much about Seoul.

This was a great place to stay on our long layover from Hong Kong and back to the US. We really appreciated the suggestions of what to see and where to go that the staff provided. We also liked how easily accessible food and sightseeing was to the Bong House.
