I highly recommend this hostel to travelers who's after of saving. Price is very affordable.”
So I'm a solo traveler and I looked for an affordable priced hostel in South Korea. Luckily I found this Yakorea Hostel in Cheonggu District in Korea. The price is very affordable. I took the mixed dormitory type room cause for me what's the sense of booking a solo room when after all I'm out the entire day. And I love to be in a mixed room and so I can make chit chat with my roomates. So there.. The place is so great and most importantly, the Manager is very very accomodating. He's very charming and you'll really feel welcomed. I am very very satisfied with Yakorea Hostel.

Great value for money”
The property was very gracious in allowing an upgrade of the room from a single to a double. The room was very comfortable and cozy. For those who stay outdoors for the better part of the day, this property comes as a great choice as it offers the comforts of a private space where you can relax after a long and tiring day at very reasonable price.

Great hostel, convenient location within Seoul close to the center. The staff is very helpful and it's easy to get into conversations. The dormitory room as well as the common area are spacious and clean. There is also a big kitchen to prepare your own meals. All in all, very good value for money.

Definitely yes!”
A minute walk to train station (cheonggu) as well as a bus stop. There is a convenient store, coffee shop, and restaurants nearby. They even allowed us to store our luggage for 2 days when were out of seoul for a couple of days. I forgot to ask his name the one on the reception area he is the best! He waited us past midnight since our flight was late at night. Room was quite spacious, clean and well maintained. The only con was there was no elevator/lift on the building especially when you carrying a heavy luggage it's really a struggle, but don't worry they will help you.. if i will go back to seoul i will definitely stay there again. :)

Worth Your Money”
I got a private room in this hostel during COVID 19. I think it is really worth the money. However, there is just one thing I can pick up on, which is the toilet position. It is against a narrow wall, so if you are tall or have long legs (which is me >.<) it is very inconvenient. There is very limited space between the toilet and the wall, your legs would literally be against the wall lol

Great place”
The place was great as it was near Cheonggu station, right in the middle of most areas. If we were travelling purely for liesure, i would have chosen to stay near Myeongdong but since we had a conference nearby, we opted to stay here instead. No regrets at all. Would definitely stay here again if the need arises.
