The bed is big, comfortable as looked in the picture. The private bathroom is wide and clean. Our room located in 1st floor, which is a big convenient for us who brings luggages (there's no lift in this place, just stairs). The staff is soso (some are not kind, but yeah).

This is the 1st time, I stay in dorm. The guest house near Seoul Statio, good location. cleanness is the most important problem that needed to improve. blanket was dirty, drap was too. I had to spray half of my green cross.

Pleasant experience! Hostel is really near to Chungjeongno subway station and bus stop. Very accessible and convenient if you want to wander to lots of tourist/shopping attraction, such as Dongdaemun and Myeongdong.

The staff is friendly and kind. We wrongly booked the mix room, but the manager was helped to move to the Female room at no additional cost. The room is ok but the blanket is not ok or not washed ahaha. the bathroom is outside and sharing. Have you ever seen a man enter the bathroom (but when it is empty, there is no girl), have you ever heard that the voice of a guy in the bathroom is a bit horrifying, how's that? But I've never met a guy directly. The wifi is smooth, close to the station (it only stays 😜) But still recommended. Kl to Korea again maybe still choose this ❤️

This hostel is great and located in the downtown. The room is clean and tidy. The receptionist was very helpful. It's highly recommended for everyone who travel alone or with friends.

the guesthouse really near from subway station and bus station. and it's also near to convenience store so I think it helps me personally to buy something or just to top up my T-Money. The guesthouse itself is really nice everything was clean. I love it staying there and going to stay there again on my next trip.

It's worth the money, I think more! Bring your earphones if you will be using the dorm, you can hear even the slightest noise.

It's nice and warm place, right in front of Chungjeongno station, near CU Mart, Sbux, only 10 minute from seoul station, and around 20 minute by train from myeongdong, it's also near by seoullo sky walk and the facilities is good! the staff is nice and you can make a lot of new friends around the world here, cooking by your self and no need to bought hair dryer, you can do laundry here only around 4000krw and the bedroom is nice and also have a heater too, i'll definitely choose kimchee as my best place to stay whenever I go to Korea again!

When walking in, wiped in, very shocked, but different from the image until he couldn't remember. (The condition is not okay. The sides are not messy.) The beds are very big. Sleep at each bed, but not brave. But the bathroom is very clean. Personally, I would not be able to stay there (But the place is very convenient to travel)

Kimchee is always my priority when it comes to accommodation in Seoul. The price is always the best. It has a really strategic location not even 20 seconds to walk to the subway station/bus stop. There is a really close convenience store and post office too.

Small and dirty room, bad smell from toilet, no towel for you but when I requested for the towel I got a very small and dirty towel. Look like the hostel use a trainee student as a maid to reduce their cost this cause a not-clean service room. Reception service is ok. Location:- the location is best as it near chungjeongno station gate 3. Recommendation:- when I go to Seoul i'm not going and not recommend this place. Bye.

I had an awesome stay in Downtown Kimchee. I just wish that they clean the rooms daily but I know it will be an added cost. Also for the free slippers, it should be mentioned during the check in since I didn't use mine and walked barefoot around the place. Lol. Everything in this hostel feels like home. Everyone is warm including the staff and even stranger travelers. I would definitely recommend this place to stay since it is also stations away from the Arex train line. Thank you so much!
