OPPA Hostel Sinchon-Hongdae

Owner/Manager was very attentive and flexible (we arrived nearly at midnight, left luggage at hotel). Room lends itself for a great sleep. Had good airco in the heat of the summer. Benefits from central location. Good, cheap restaurants around the corner. Metro very close. Comfortable though -like everything in Seoul- very packed and comes at a steep price. (Smaller cities are much cheaper and have more rooms.) Really enjoyed our stay here. I give high marks as I would like to support the owner. But only expect a basic, affordable tourist hotel so your expectations are fully met.

The host Richard went above and beyond to make sure my stay was great. I had questions on where to pick up some items i needed for a snow hike and he provided the stores and neighborhood where i could pick up exactly what i needed. He made suggestions for food places and bars according to what i liked. Richard also speaks every language and has traveled extensively, making him the perfect host, keeping in mind all cultural nuances to best serve his guests. After my trip I didnt even look for other places to stay, i went back to the same hostel. The location is already great for food and is right next to the main train stations.

the room is relatively big, private toilet, with all the essentials, rooms are upstairs but Richard was very kind and he helped me carry my heavy luggage to my room, my room had a little cute window which was very nice and I enjoyed the sun light it gave, room is tidy and very clean, hotel is 4 minute walk from the station, and 2 streets away from a very busy area that becomes very crowded during evening lots of activity and stores to enjoy, at night it is quiet and I had no problem with falling asleep Extra points to Richard for being the nicest host you could possibly meet, he speaks English well which made conversation and check-in / out process very fast and easy Definitely value for the price, I’ll stay again when visiting Seoul in the future

The hostel is located at Sinchon. Just few mins walk to the Main Street. The environment is is perfect for my vacation. It’s convenient but very quiet and safe neighborhood. Richard is super friendly and helpful, with a warm welcome and like a big brother. I had a great time with OPPA Hostel and highly recommended whenever you come visit South Korea. The hostel is very clean and tidy. I slept so well and didn’t have any problems with checking in and out. It’s just great!!! 오빠 감사합니다 🫰

The location is excellent, short walk to metro, bus, shops and restaurants. The rooms are quiet and clean. The beds are comfortable. The room had a window to let in some fresh air and was equiped with hairdryer and small fridge. The owner is very kind and helpful.
