Thank you for the lovely time at lee&no. the service and staff were excellent and very helpful, willing to go the extra mile to make guests feel right at home. The hostel is also situated in a great location, within walking distance of the subway and other places of interest. Would definitely recommend lee&no to other travelers.

Great staff, nice and intimate atmosphere, a few minutes walk to a very busy shopping/restaurant/clubbing area. Showers are a little cramped. I will definitely stay here again when I visit Seoul.

The staff is helpful and Isabel takes personal care of you, giving you suggestions about what to do in Seoul, amazing! Print out a map to get there, or use your smart phone, it is a bit tricky to be found.

The staff was friendly and accommodating, and seemed to be enjoying their work. He place was clean and bright although it was a little hard to find at first, especially because the address system changed and the website directions were not updated

Small, nice and cozy. Excellent staff and good atmosphere. Good breakfast and provides basically everything you need. Not the best place if you want to meet people for binge-drinking though. No alcohol-policy due to being in a residential area, and the hostel has only 12 beds in total.

We loved Namu Guesthouse! We spent Christmas Eve weekend here, so it was important that we stayed somewhere homey. The staff was super helpful, and the location was nice, even though you have to walk a bit to get the subway. This is definitely my favorite hostel I'd stayed at in Seoul. Just pay attention to whether you're booked in "Lee & No" or "Namu" guesthouse. We accidentally went to the wrong one at, like, 11PM in the snow... so just double check! Definitely recommend this place.

We booked Lee and No but were placed in Namu guesthouse down the road - it is a nice guesthouse in a very quiet area but the walls/doors/floors are very thin which can be an issue when the no noise after 11pm rule is ignored by other guests.

A very lovely hostel with very lovely staff! Very peaceful in the hostel but near to Hongdae. Everything was great here, only the beds were not very comfortable, but I would highly recommend this hostel nevertheless.
