HEY Backpackers 2 Hongdae Reviews

Nice location right in the middle of Hongdae. We had a private 4 bedroom which is nice because we got our own bathroom (and kitchen) for quite cheap. But it has one double bed. Upstairs is a common area. It's alright to stay in this Hostel if you just need a convenient place to sleep, but not really great in terms of athmosphere.

Seoul is safe, maybe this why they don't protect better place. It's easy to get in. The staff, the one guy i talked probably was 'high' and spoken poor english!

What you pay what you get.

Average Hostel

This is the best value for money you can get around the city. Very comfortable, perfect location - close to the night action and subway station. Originally had only to stay for 4 nights and chose to extend my stay to two weeks, felt like home. Keep it up!

Friendly staff, good prices ,nice traveler stay in here,Always enjoyable and so soso closer metro staion

The owner is very kind and funny. Location is in the center of restaurants, clubs, shops and near the bus station, sky train station. we can walk around there and easily to walk back hostel for take a rest or keep our stuff before go shopping again.

Good location, owner is quite friendly man that goes out of his way to help you out. A bit hard to find.

The hostel is in a good location for going out around Hongdae & there was a friendly atmosphere inside with the other boarders but that's about where my positivity ends, having paid 20000W fo the night (and being able to compare it to many other hostels l've stayed in around busy areas like Hongdae & Itaewon), l was really disappointed to be shown to a dirty, moldy & badly laid out 6 person dorm room that had an equally as grim & cold adjoining bathroom. In comparison, awful value for money.

This was a cheap hostel in a perfect location, but everything else was average. the shower room was freezing cold, and there was something wrong so it switched from being cold and very hot. which is not that nice when its minus 10 degrees outside, and you are already frezing.

Stayed here for almost three weeks and it was overall a pretty good place I must say. Location is excellent although showers and security is so-so (you cannot lock the 6-dorm room) which drags down the overall score. Although Korea is very safe and can be trusted, not all foreigners can be. Had someone stealing my leather gloves for skiing and I found them destroyed a few days later. I would most likely stay here again though just because of the location and its comfortable and wide beds.
