HEY Backpackers 2 Hongdae Reviews

Very friendly staff and atmosphere. Excellent location and facilities and run by an excellent staff. In my opinion best value for money you can find in Seoul. I got a free drink and dumplings upon arrival and met awesome people who were decisive to the great time I had in Seoul.

This place is a great place to stay for your money. It's a cosy little apartment with three different bedroom and a kitchen and laundry (for free - as long as you don't abuse). Few tips to the very very crazy scary owner: 1) Bathrooms are horrible! The place was clean with the exception of the bathroom! Mould! 2) BEWARE! He doesn't wash the sheets between backpackers. I watched as the just folded the planet and then gave it to someone new! The previous backpacker had been there for 2 weeks!

Not bad at all, great location!

The bathroom facilities were absolutely horrendous. We booked a 6 sleeper which 4 of us were to share but when we got there there were 3 other people who were also booked and our friend had to share a room with other strangers. It was absolutely terrible. The beds weren't even made properly. there were spider webs and the 6 sleeper was too small, it should have been a 4 sleeper. I will NEVER go there again.

We stayed in the six-bed room and it was great. Like someone mentioned before it's not so much a hostel as a converted apartment. if you're looking for somewhere cheap to stay in a great location then this is the best place. The owner was super helpful!

I very much enjoyed my stay at this originally I intended staying for one night, but ended up staying an additional five and everyone here was very accommodating. A fantastically clean room with a ondol heating system (really needed in the winter months) and a great lounge area that was really conducive to meeting other travelers. The staff were super friendly and very helpful in all matters (where to go, booking tickets/tours etc)

You'll find many many places to eat and buy stuff around the hostel, full of young people, a very good atmosphere. This hostel is like an appartement with 3 rooms, 1 living room and 1 kitchen. It's clean and there is computers at disposal.

this is one of the best hostel interms of location i\'ve been in..its the busiest shopping district in hongdae..u can find many clubs and pubs around the area..near to the hongik university, student with trendy outfits are all over the places. shoppingwise its awesome especially at night...lot of food outlets everywhere.. the main things its somehow complecated to find the hostel..just located infront of the 24hr minimart, and u will see a small blackdoor stated hey backpackers..but i enjoy my stay there...

Great hostel. Great location to everything in Hongdae, and not a bad price, either. My friends and I booked a four person room with a set of bunk beds, and a giant queen size bed. Super comfy....not that you'll remember it that much after a night partying in Seoul. :)
