Korea Central Backpackers Reviews

I enjoyed my stay here for 8 nights and the owner Yong is very friendly! The hostel is clean and it is very near the subway station. There are also many restaurants and shops right outside the hostel so it is very convenient! :)

nice hostel in a great location!

This hostel was a great place to spend a few nights. There wasn't a ton of character, but if you're going to be out all day and are looking for a clean, comfortable place to sleep, definitely look into staying here. It is really close to the subway and pretty close to some great places to eat too!

Excellent location near lots of shops and restaurants, and within walking distance of the most important palaces. Host is great and can give very helpful information.

The owner was very helpful and friendly, and it offered very good facilities for the amount of money paid (e.g. the private toilet!!!). The only small problem was the leaky pipe, as mentioned by previous customers.

Wonderful place to stay, great location and perhaps the best kept secret in Seoul. Two minute walk from stop for 6011 bus from airport; 3 minute walk from Hyehwa metro station. One can really enjoy Seoul by staying here.

My friends and I stayed here for one night and enjoyed our visit while in Seoul. The hostel is in a nice location near lots of cafes and shops, and it is easy to get to nearby tourist attractions: City Hall, Myeongdong, the palaces, and Dongdaemun shopping area. Thanks for all the help!

The location of the hostel, the atmosphere around the place is just awesome. Restaurants are plenty nearby and there are so many booths and stalls too. The room on the other hand is spacious and very comfortable. I and my friend went there when it was still winter but it was completely warm and cosy. If i am to come back and visit Seoul one day i'd definitely stay here again!

Thanks for your place and I was satisfied with it!

If you wanna have the feeling of arriving home and to live close to the best sights in Seoul than this is exactly the place you are looking for! It is the best hostel i ever stayed in! The location is wonderful the rooms clean and comfortable and the atmosphere just amazing! Thanks to Yong i had an amazing time in a wonderful hostel! Thanks a lot!

Really comfortable beds in the twin room. Generally very quiet, although I was woken a couple of times during my stay by people spilling out of nearby bars / restaurants in the early hours of the morning. Great location, just a few minutes walk from Hyehwa subway station. It's a little bit tricky to find though! The airport shuttle bus doesn't always announce the stops - make sure you ask the driver or fellow passengers.

I had an amazing stay in Korea Central Backpackers,it was such a cute,cosy,homely&comfortable place,it really felt like I was going back to my own home everytime.The location was perfect as it is located in Daehangno,surrounded by pretty streets&shops,also within walking distance to the subway station.The owner,Yong was very friendly&helpful,we communicated in English &he always advised me on places to go.I extended my stay from 3 nights to 7 nights cuz I had a very comfortable &enjoyable stay:)

The staff knows English well to assist us. The location is great as it is nearby subway station. The sink is a little bit leaking though. Otherwise it is a great worth for money.

Yong and his staff are friendly and helpful. Convenient location. Near metro and good restaurants. Good facilities. The room we were living was very quiet. Felt like home!

Yong, the owner, is the most sincere guy you'll meet and he truly wants you to enjoy your time in Seoul. He is very accommodating and will take care of all your housing problems right away. He even offers tips and maps on where to go and visit in the city. I was so glad I stayed there!

Nice room,good location.. a bit too cold In the washroom..very good overall.

The water pipe is leaky.
