    Convenient location near a university, with affordable restaurants and close to metro line 4. Separate dorms a block away were private and peaceful. Easy access to palaces and hop on hop off pick up. Helpful hosts made getting around the city effortless. Highly recommend this stay!

    I recently stayed at Backpackers Inside for a symposium at the SNUH, and it was a fantastic experience. The hostel had a friendly and cozy atmosphere, and the staff were always ready to help. The location was convenient, with walking distance to attractions, a shopping street, and plenty of local restaurants. The hostel was always clean and warm, and I couldn't find any disadvantages during my stay.

    I would highly recommend this hotel.

    I had a fantastic time at Backpackers Inside during my 12-day stay. The atmosphere was friendly and social, and the staff organized fun events like BBQs and karaoke nights. The common area was cozy and perfect for meeting other travelers. The hotel had great information about both popular attractions and hidden gems in Hyehwa. The rooms were clean and spacious, and I appreciated the kitchenette in my room. The staff were helpful and made sure the living and sleeping areas were separated for a peaceful night's sleep. a wonderful experience!

    Would recommend this hotel.

The staff members, especially the friendly and helpful ones, made our stay even more enjoyable. The location was convenient, with easy access to the metro and surrounded by nice restaurants and shops. The value for money was exceptional, considering the affordable price we paid for our stay. I highly recommend Backpackers Inside for a pleasant and budget-friendly experience in Seoul.

    Great atmosphere, met interesting people & had late-night convos. Cozy rooms & warm despite cold weather. Convenient location near subway, lively streets, markets, street food, and restaurants. Close to temples/palaces & even found a nearby mountain for trekking. Good facilities with shared bathrooms & kitchen. Would definitely return.

    We had an incredible stay at this cozy hostel in a vibrant neighborhood. the staff were super friendly and helpful, providing us with all the information we needed. the common area was fun, making it easy to meet fellow travelers. the rooms were spacious and warm, even in the freezing temperatures outside. the hostel was conveniently located near a subway station, making it easy to explore the city. We also enjoyed the local experience, with plenty of markets, street food, and restaurants nearby.

    The single room without a window was a bit cramped and not ideal for those seeking a more spacious accommodation.

    Friendly staff, helpful with info in English. Fun common area, easy to make friends. Close to restaurants, shops, and metro. Small rooms with thin walls, but there are better rooms with AC for a higher price. Tiny single room without window, but options to change.
