Zzzip guesthouse made my trip to Seoul. It was my first time visiting this country and my first time travelling solo. The rooms are extremely clean, the position is optimal and the breakfast is good. Bryan and Jina are exceptional, always welcoming and ready to give you advice for anything you need (from hospitals to bbq places to baseball matches!). All the other members of staff, too, made me feel comfortable during my stay, and they created a great atmosphere where everyone could hang out. I met many people thanks to zzzip, and I really hope to come back!

ZZZIP Guesthouse has provided me with the best experience I've ever had with travelling. I felt so at home and treated like family. They gave me a map, circled all the best restaurants, attractions and things to do. Plugged me into a Whatsapp group to easily meet fellow travellers, and I felt so comfortable talking to the hosts, Jina and Bryan. They make me want to travel more!

We stayed 5 nights, with the lovely hosts Jina and Brian. They were great about giving local recommendations, and Jina took her time with us when we arrived to get us acquainted with the neighborhood. She also added us to a WhatsApp group chat to share links and connect with other guests, which was nice. Just be aware it's cash only; I had forgotten that upon arrival, so had to take out some more $$$. Rooms are cozy, but perfectly clean and we're really just here to crash for the night when not exploring Seoul. I'd stay here again! :)

Fantastic hostel! Location is great, close to the metrostation, bank, reataurants, bar, shops. Jina and Bryan are very nice and helpfull. Talked to Jina everyday, she even helped me book my ticket when my creditcard failed to do so. I saw her leave notes for guests as well when she wasn't around, so nice and personal. Laundry service, towels, printing available and lots of solo travellers around. Comfy beds, good heating, simple breakfast but enough for a good start of the day. If you come, bring a snowglobe for her son :)!

Had a great experience in Zzzip: rooms are great, the bathroom is nice, but most of all, the owners make you feel at home at all times. Met quite a few people that were frequent over there, and I understood why. Location is also good, next to the first stop of the airport shuttle bus.

My boyfriend and I have traveled quite a lot in Asia, but this is the nicest hostel we’ve ever stayed at. We had a cute little private room. It was small, but very well thought out and designed in a simple but modern way.

Jinah and Brian are the owners, and they really care about their guests and learn everyone’s names. They create a lovely atmosphere where it is really easy to get to know other travelers.

When we wanted to try the Korean dish bibimbap, Jinah just suggested that we make it together the next day.

I would highly recommend Zzzip Guesthouse!

Great place. I am more of the hotel/private room traveler but being with friends and wanted to stay close and spend time together in Seoul we decided to stay at the hostel and share 1 big room. Place was super clean and very well organized by most wonderful hospitable Korean couple I`ve ever met! They made our stay! Fantastic people and great guides. They will tell you where to eat and what to see around the city while you`re there. Complementary continental breakfast and free coffee was great! We miss you already!! Love from Yosemite!!! :)

Bryan and Jina run this place immaculately. They are always there to help and provide great tips on attractions in Seoul along with insights of Hongdae. This is a great place to stay while exploring Seoul without burning a hole in your pocket.
