Great location and security, very friendly staff. No aircon in single room, and door was very stiff and difficult to open and close. Construction going on around hostel so was woken up pretty early.

Great place, awesome location, very helpful staff. It was a little different from my previous experience in that the single rooms still had a shared community bathroom/shower area, but it did not cause much decrease in overall comfort and convenience. I would recommend SP to anyone coming to Seoul!

This hostel is brand new. The bathroom is super clean and the rooms could be from a hotel. The location is also amazing, less than 5min from the metro and 4min from Glam Club and other good places in iteawon to hang out at night. If I go back I'll definitely go there. Only 1 remark. If you're travelling alone I don't think you'll make friends in this hostel.

Very convenient location, close to a hip and trendy spot just down the hill. Btw, dont bring too much luggage as u hv to lug it up a steep, not very walkable hill. Walking down in high heels is scary too. Other than the hill its a great place and Nemanja is awesome!!!! Super chills. I stayed in the mixed dorm, not bad but next time me and my friend will share a double room. Those are nice~~

Great hostel. Probably the most central hostel I've stayed in in Seoul. You are basically right in the center of Itaewon. Will definitely stay again! :)

The beds are the most comfortable you will come across. Location is perfect. Although we stayed in the private rooms seperated from the main house we enjoyed our privacy. It was very clean and neat and the place still smelt new. We will definately be back!

The hostel is located in the heart of Itaewon. The staff was pleasant and helpful, and the facilities were clean and orderly. The hostel houses individuals from all of the world, so you are sure to meet fun and intriguing guests during your stay.

It was a pleasure to see Novak again, and a pleasure to meet Nemanja. They were both very helpful, and made me feel like I was at home again in Seoul. Facilities were excellent, and being able to come and go as you please (no curfew) is the way to go, especially if you have a late night in Itaewon or Hongdae! I would definitely stay here again. Until next time, Gabriel! You're friend, Vincenzo!

Good location. There is only one bathroom with toilet on first floor, so if You take shower WC is also occupied. I slept there only one night so I can not say to much. It is very close to parties and pubs.

Great place, very clean. The location is pretty good, but it is not a location if you want to be in apart of the city with more character. Itaewon is totally westernised neighbourhood, pretty boring and equal any part of the world. It is still great because Itaewon is continently located within Seoul. The hostel has 2 buildings, one for dorms and other one for private room's. Both have good/great facilities, but the private one, because of the its location, is REALLY noisy. Apart of those.

Sp@Itaewon Guesthouse was the first hostel I stayed at, wasn't sure what to expect. I stayed there for 7 nights and I have no complaints just a minor grievance, but I'll get to that later. The prices are great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The facility is very clean. Only thing that annoyed me about the place is the hill that leads up to the hostel is steep, it's really hard to walk up when drunk. If that hill wasn't there the location would be great.

Positives - Great staff - cheap rates - great location in Itaewon Negatives -Can be a bit loud until around midnight, so if you're one of those people that goes to bed early dont expect to get any sleep until around midnight. Ill definitely stay here again on my next trip to Seoul! Highly recommended
