Has a great location where it is just walking distance to the Hoehyeon subway station (easily for line transfer), Namdaemun market (lots Pojangmacha/street foods are here) , Namsan Park, convenience stalls, local restaurant & etc. But it's a bit difficult to find the hostel if is just refer to the map in their website, not that prominent. And it's quite... More

we reserved a room here just a day prior to arriving in seoul. we followed the directions on the website from the airport and got lost. it took us about 30mins to find it because the map on the website was not too detailed. we arrived late but they still allowed us to check in and didn't give our room...

Stayed in the Namdaemun branch for 10 nights in January and it was definitely a pleasant experience. The location is awesome since it's near the market and the train stations making it easy to get anywhere. There were many restaurants and convenience stores located nearby as well. The staff were friendly and were great in pointing out the best way... More

Our family stayed in Seoul Backpackers Hostel, Myeong-dong branch at 114, Da-Dong, Jung-Gu, Seoul, Korea for 5 days in February, 2012. It was everything I expected...walking distance to the airport bus stop, Myeong-dong shops, Catholic church, palaces, restaurants, money exchange shops. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. There is free wifi in the hostel and free coffee, tea, and... More

Seoul Backpackers (Namdaemun Branch) is located less than 100m across Namdaemun Market. It is also in close proximity to the underground train station. It is very near to Namsan Park (Seoul Tower), and within 10-15 minutes leisure stroll to Myeongdong. One station away from Seoul Station, or 10-15 minutes leisure walk too! Ensuite Rooms are reasonably priced, and with heater... More

The place is clean, modern and charming. It is just a two-minute walk to Namdaemun Market and 5-7-min walk to Myeongdong which I visited everyday. The Hoeyun and Seoul stations are also nearby. My only negative comment for this hot property is its uphill slope to its entrance from the main road. It would not recommended this if you have... More

Myeongdong branch is really very close to the myeongdong center. don't expect too much on the rooms since this is for those who have tight budgets. Near Lotte Hotel, IBIS, H&M, etc. Just had a hard time lifting the luggage since the only option to get to the rooms is the stairway. Also I was bitten by bed bugs on... More

Aug28-5Sep, 2011 This is the first time I am staying in a backpackers hostel. It turned out better than I thought. It was quite well kept. They have an English speaking staff, Johnny (Fri-Sun) who is very helpful and considerate. You can approach him about anything and he will always try to help. I felt very comfortable during stay there.

I stayed at Myeongdong branch and I'm surprised that no one had mentioned that this place has no lift. I would not recommend this place for anyone who has big luggage. The rooms are quite rundown, there are cracks on the wall and tearing on the doors. The wifi for some floors are not working. The worst part was there... More
