Richard didn't drink soju with us :(

The Host is one of the friendliest hosts you can imagine. It's very social.

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 🫰

I didn't find the remote of the airconditioning/heater or how to operate it but the room still warmed up in the evening when closing the window. When you do not see the owner when checking in or checking out, you just need to send him a WhatsApp message.

The direct surroundings of the where quiet and thus good for sleeping but you just needed to take a few streets to be in a more lively neighbourhood with restaurants etc. The room was very good, you have a private bathroom and the bed was soft. Extra info for travellers: Before coming to Korea, please install a Korean navigation app since Maps doesn't work properly. You can also buy a sim/esim at the airport with a card that can be used for the bus (not the airport expres bus) and subway.

I liked everything except the stairs 🤣, but the owner helped with bringing the luggage up so this was very kind!

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.

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 hostel location is great. Location just walk 4min from Sinchon subway station exit 4 line 2 and Incheon airport bus 6002 stop. The room was clean and the newly purchased bed was very comfortable. The staff always solves problems through messages. And staff can speak many languages. There is a free tourist map at the back entrance on the first floor.

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

We stayed in a double room with private bathroom. The hostel reflects expectations. Cleanliness ok, small room but average for Korean hotels. Welcoming host. Close to the metro.

The hostel that’s in a great area with plenty of food options and shopping street. Right next to the Sinchon subway stop and airport bus stop. The room I stayed in felt like a hotel room since it was so well maintained, and had everything I needed to enjoy a comfortable stay. Wifi signal is enough. Big screen TV and can use YOUTUBE. Richard, the host, was extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for hotel quality but at a hostel price. Amazing place.

Wifi was very slow from our room. Maybe it was just in our floor/bedroom, but we relied more on mobile data than wifi.

Has all the basic amenities you need, and good value for the price. The highlight was Richard, who will do anything to make you feel comfortable. He helped us manage a situation with our next hotel, so he's someone you can count on.

There was a gun (quite sure it's fake) at the reception.

We had a nice welcome and the value for money was quite good.

The location is good and the price is reasonable. The staff speaks several languages and is friendly. There is a window in the room so it was well ventilated and has good morning sunlight.

Lovely place to stay Facilities are clean, host is always helpful! Bed is comfortable and sleep well. Very pleased with where we were staying :) location is just round the corner from shinchon station exit 2 or 3, with delicious street food around!

The owner was very kind and friendly and could speak multiple different languages. slept well in new bed. The room was nice, had its own fridge, wifi, huge screen tv, aircon, and bathroom. The location of the hostel was pretty ideal, as its very close to sinchon station, convenience stores, cafes, kinkos, yeonsei university, etc. If you lose your phone charger and need one at 2am like me, the convenience store is pretty much right outside the hostel.
