Summary of traveller reviews

Ocean's Guesthouse in Seoul is praised for its incredibly friendly and helpful staff, with many guests highlighting the owner's welcoming nature and participation in social events. The location is frequently mentioned as a strong positive, being conveniently close to public transport and vibrant areas like Hongdae. Guests appreciate the social atmosphere, making it ideal for solo travellers looking to meet people. However, some recent reviews note that the bathrooms can be small and that bunk beds lack privacy due to the absence of curtains.

A really social hostel. The host did a good job at facilitating the social atmosphere. The place was clean, although the rooms and showers were a bit small.The location is about a 10 minute walk to the nearest metro. The only thing to note is that luggage storage option is just leaving your bags in the common room and is not secure.There were no issues for me but just something to be aware of.

Best stay ever! Stayed here and honestly didn't want to leave. The staff and guests are super friendly and we had so much fun going out together. Plus, the rooms and bathrooms are extremely clean, and the team goes above and beyond to help you with everything. Will definitely be back!
