Very friendly. If you arrive earlier than check-in hours, just say, if it's empty, check-in is allowed right away. Really good.

We enjoyed staying here for 2 days, the room was comfortable, clean and spacious enough for us to stay one family, with my 2 children, the receptionist was friendly but the front yard was poorly maintained and the warm water was dead, even though the weather was -4 ° C but the rest was okey . From the shopping center, it is also quite close, fun.

I really love this place. Warm and home-y feeling in my winter trip. Everything is neat. The staff are very kind and helpful. They even have a vanity mirror, plus point. I would like to be back again to this hostel, even though it is relatively far from the train station.

I booked for three days. I went home on my second night only to see that they cleared out my bunk bed. When I was asking for my stuff it was bagged at the laundry area like it was trash. It felt very disappointing, and disrespectful I made it clear with the lady with the green hair about my booking, and when we were caught in the situation, she looked like “okay that wasn’t my fault.” She should grow up. They should check their data first before making any move. Don’t get bookings on this hostel. I lost a shirt, towel and pair of socks. It’s not that I really care about them that much, but the fact that something was lost, it’s alarming.

I backpack here for a week, I am alone since I am solo traveler. Overall, two thumbs up (even four) for birdsnest hostel. Every single aspect is really fantastic. The staff, the room, the location, everything. The staff cleans the whole room every single morning, they provide free rice, the staff speaks english well so I can communicate well. The room I stayed is really warm and comfortable and I had well slept here. They also provide hot water,, the location is near with hongdae shopping street and hongik university station and there is direct train to the airport. The most crucial one their front desk is 24 hour so we don't have to be worry if we arrive in Seoul even at the midnight. The staff appreciate me as a moslem, then I feel like I am at my own home. We had a party last night which was very interesting. I wish I could stay here longer, but I can't since I need to go back to Indonesia. I am pretty sure, birdsnest hostel spoil me very well. You should come here even for backpacking, family or business. Next year I will be coming here again, and I will stay here again. Thank you for every single hospitality you provide, gracias
