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

I really enjoyed my time here at Lee & No Guesthouse. The hostel manager, Young, was very helpful and attentive to all of her residents. I will definitely come back to this place if I visit Seoul again.

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.

Great cosy and clean place, very nice atmosphere and absolutely friendly and helpful staff (thanks againYoung!). Use the map and directions for taxi driver (the ones they will send to you) when you first get there, then it will be nor problem finding it. Is located in a residential area (quiet - but also requested for you to be quiet, no party hostel), but there is the university area close by - providing sufficient number of bars and clubs. Would definately stay there again.

LEE & NO everything you need. Free Amenities: breakfast, information/maps, washing machine, landline phone, 2 new computers, 24-hour coffee, tea, and water, kitchen, snacks, and small locker for valuables. Location is difficult to find the first time, but once you know it, its a great location. Easy access to Hongik University station, ect. Only problem I had: I was not allowed to change the room from twin to double (was with fiance). Online reservation mistake - but I was disappointed.

Thanks Namu for a great stay. Hostel had all we needed and a super comfy, warm living room. Very nice helpful staff, thanks Jia for your great welcome. Close to subway and local restaurants and a short walk from Hongdae bars. We will definetely come here again ;-)

I stayed at NAMU guesthouse, that is where LEE&NO have the dorms, and the place is just awesome! Is 5-10 minutes walk from HONGDAE the best neighborhood for bars and clubs in Seoul, very close also to the subway 2(green) of Hongik University that is also the sto of the AREX the fast (and cheap) train to the airports! The house is very nicely kept and the atmosphere is very friendly, it seems to be at some friends house. Probably the best hostel where i have been, i'll totally go back!

Gorgeous place, comfortable beds, quiet neighborhood, and incredibly nice people! My Korean was minimal, and it never mattered: every staff member I talked to spoke at least enough English to answer any questions I had, and Ms. Young, the manager, was terrific about filling me in on the things I should make sure to see while in Seoul. Will definitely be staying here again, hopefully soon.
