I stayed at hostel haru for my solo trip for 7 nights. I felt safe as a lone girl. The amenities were clean, water pressure was great. I could even do my laundry before heading home. The best thing about this hostel is that it is super convenient to places like Anguk, ikseon dong and insadong. I found myself walking to these places instead of taking the train. There are at least two train lines within 10 minutes walk as well. My favourite activity was walking at the cheongyecheong stream at night to digest my dinner. Would totally stay here again!

The room was spotless and comfy. The area was super convenient. I was able to walk to the river, to Myeongdong shopping center, Tapgol park, and Jongmyo shrine. Highly recommend

Stayed here for 10 days in the family room. It was spotlessly clean, well located, right next to the stream, within walking distance of Insadong and generally a wonderful stay. A quiet haven in a beautiful city.

Property was in a great location, very close to jong bak station. It was also fairly close to the major tourist attractions of seoul. Unfortunately, i wasnt a fan of the self check in process. You need to enter sets of codes to get into the building, then the floor then the room. This meant having to remember the codes or pull them out everytime. Because of the format of the stay, i actually didn't meant any hotel staff besides the cleaner therefore that whole hospitality feeling went missing for me over here. I also stayed solo here and got a private room(single room.) I found it difficult to speak to other travellers, the social room could have been better, staggering across 2 floors i don't think works well, more social things at the stay would have been nicer. Looking back, i would've tried to find a more socialable hostel instead with actual people.

Close to Cheonggyecheon Stream which is a very peaceful place in the bustling city. Many food options outside and close to transport. Property was clean and the fresh towels and bottled water were also very good. Staff are responsive to any enquires when you email them. Very happy with my stay.

It was a nice hostel and the room has great aircon, mine had a nice view and it’s pretty close to the river. The only draw back is they’re mostly staff-less so you have to do your own check in and email them your passport. They also don’t have secure luggage storage. You just leave it behind an unmanned desk which everyone has access to. There’s also stairs of you’re staying up on the 12th floor with no lift option.
