Instead of white lights, I hope they use warm white lights. I hope the pillows are fluffier. An open hanging cabinet with a rod on the underside to hang clothes on by the entrance, and disposable slippers would be a great addition. They have the usual type of showers in hostels - no partition (but it's okay for me). There's a 5-minute slope path towards the hostel, which I don't mind. But for the elderly who may have a bad knee or has a physical disability, this could be quite a challenging trail.

I love the white walls in the room - it gave off a cheery vibe as opposed to dark or industrial-type walls. You do want that cheery vibe after a busy day. The common area is also quite roomy - you can park your bags there if you have an evening flight. As for the actual bedroom that we got, it's just enough for 3 ladies with 3 carry-ons and 1 or 2 large luggage. We placed our clothes on the mini dresser. The shower area is roomier than usual hostel showers. The rooftop is the best part! It's as advertised - has a clear view of Namsan tower. Breakfast of noodles, bread and jam are just right! You can also cook your own food comfortably. Cooking utensils and tableware are provided, just bring your ingredients. Staff are also very friendly and replies quickly to my queries. Free washer and affordable dryer (KRW 3,000 per load) are the best, esp for long stays! It's a 5-8 minute walk to Myeongdong and nearest train/bus station. For its price, Namsan Hostel is a really really good choice!

Fantastic location, great view from the rooftop, friendly, helpful staff and handy laundry facilities. I've been a guest twice here and would definitely stay again.

The dorm was very loud, many female guests did not respect the rules about the night time, the staff could have enforced it better.

Location is really good. Kitchen is well equipped. Enough space to keep your belongings (in a dorm), mattress was comfy.

I stayed about 6 nights and I didn't see the bathrooms areas cleaned in that time. People had annoyingly left nubs of soap in the shower plus hair clumps (ugh) and they stayed until my last morning.

Breakfast was simple but plentiful. Bread and peanut butter/jam or noodles and coffee. Take your own teabags. Good location . The rooms were small capsules but at least gave a bit of privacy. Helpful information from the guy on the front desk.

Spider web for my 6 day stay in toilet. Also shower walls look like they've never been cleaned for a long time. Butter not tasty and stuck to inside of mouth.

Friendly staff and other guests. Loved having plentiful breakfast and use of a kitchen to keep me going through busy sightseeing during the day. Great view and clothes drying racks on the roof area. Access to lots of things nearby.

The rooms walls were very very thin and we were unfortunately unable to sleep due to other travelers loud and disrespectful behavior.

The property was nicely located with a nice view on the N Seoul Tour. The room was clean and comfortable with a private bathroom. The canteen was very convenient as well et we could store our luggage after checkout without hassle.

Rooms are not so soundproof, but no an issue, as it is very quiet throughout the day

The namsan guesthouse is well equipped with facilities to ensure a comfortable stay. Room is clean.

The room is small and a bit old. There is a washing machine but no dryer (Laundry can be hung on dry racks on the roof). Breakfast consisted of ramen and bread with "butter", jam and coffee. The coffee and butter are horrible, I don't recommend it.

The hostel is very close to the subway, bus stop, GS25 and Myeongdong food street. The towels are small but you can change them daily. On the roof it's like in the pictures.

Walking distance to myeongdong and metro. Room for 4 people was spacious and comes with 2 ensuite bathrooms. Was v happy to have 2 separate bathrooms that gave us space to enjoy our private time.

Bathroom was small and not very clean, water kept appearing on the floor from the drain under the sink.

Basic but comfortable backpacker-style hostel. Good shared kitchen facilities. Rooftop terrace is nice

not the cleanest

the location was great! the rooftop has a beautiful view

The ladders to the top bunk were a bit slippery. Luggage boxes were good for one large checked bag but if you have an additional carry on it needs to be kept outside the luggage storage box.

Everything was organized when we got there. Anything we needed was easily accessible either at the hotel or within walking distance of the hotel. Bathrooms and showers were cleaned everyday and in separate rooms which was a thoughtful setup. Very good stay for a dormitory.

The beds were pretty uncomfortable. Thankfully we had sleeping pads with us to put on top.

The location was perfect!! Peaceful hostel, no noise. Had a kitchen and laundry facilities. Umbrellas were available for use, which was a nice touch. Rooftop terrace is relaxing.

Breakfast was provided - that was just a toast, sweet jam, peanut butter and some butter. Coffee was there but had a flavour and I personally dislike sweet things so the whole breakfast did not work for me at all. There was 1 cup of ramyeon per person, I have not tried that, that is true but would still appreciate more choices for breakfast. The bed itself was way too little. I have stayed at different capsule places but this one was way too little. On another note, which is not the fault of the owner but the irresponsibility of the other people sleeping next to me, one girl has left her clothes around. It was messy and absolutely unacceptable as it was the way for other people how to get out of the room, I have asked her to put it away which she did for one night, then the mess was back again.

Friendly staff.

nice view of the Seaoul tower from a rooftop terrace, very close to living parts of the city close to Seoul station, yet very quite

The kitchen shelters and showers could be better cleaned. Anyways it not only relies on the hostel. My roomies didn't clean the shower properly after using it.

The stay was very nice, the space in the bed space/room was comfortable and I had good sleep. The location is super close to the subway, to shopping streets and also to Seoul tower's mountain, so if you like to do some workout it's great to go walking to the top They have free cloth washing service and it was great, also there are tenders on the rooftop. The staff was helpful and kind.
