Wonderful value for money. The location is ideal, extremely close to the center: all tourist attractions are quickly reachable by metro. Everything is extremely clean, warm, and comfortable: room, beds, linen, and a luxuriously large bathroom with a great shower. Space is tight in Seoul, but we managed well with our 23kg-luggages. Service and hospitality was beyond excellent!! For winter tourists: hot floor heating, hot luxurious showers, tight windows, soft cozy beds - highly recommended.

This hostel was definitely one of the best hostels I ever stayed at in Seoul, Korea. I was first amazed with the hospitality and service provided by the staff member. He showed such positive professionalism when he checked me in and explained everything about the facilities. I was amazed with the size and cleanliness of the room! The size was bigger than some of the hotels I have stayed at in the center of Seoul. The bathroom was also very big. The second floor kitchen was also accessible and there were free snacks, coffee, and water for everyone to use. I had no problem working in my room with Wi-Fi. All I can say is I am definitely going to use this place more when I have business and personal trips in this area. It is located in the center of traditional Korean village in Seoul. You can go north to check out the Anguk and Hanok Village, and the hostel is located in Ikseon-dong, one of the fanciest areas right now. To the west is Gwanghwamun and Gyeonbuk Palace. I hope future customers have the same positive experience as me!

Very friendly host and the facility/room was very clean, a bit tiny for a double room but as I had it for myself, it's more than enough. Very close to Hongdae metro station (from Seoul station take the airport railway with all stops). Breakfast is included and it's self-service.

    Absolutely amazing!! Reina is the most wonderful host and made me feel right at home from the first moment. The dorms were nice and spacious and the guesthouse offers common spaces to meet fellow travelers, supported by a great deal of activities to join. The location is perfect - in a quiet neighborhood close to the train station and about ten minutes by foot away from the busy Hongdae area. Definitely recommended!

    This place is family owned and operated. Two sons and mother who is a great cook! She puts a spread of variety of Korean food and makes toast with fresh fruits, nuts, etc. Coffee was always available with milk. The sons were so helpful with carrying my heavy luggage and calling taxi. The guesthouse is conveniently located near Honhdae Metro station and all the party place but it was peaceful and quiet. Seoul is generally safe place but this place made me feel very safe and cared for. I'll definitely recommend this guesthouse.

    enjoyed my stay at YAB guesthouse! chris and simon are great hosts - they were quick to respond to messages and help with requests. the guesthouse itself is in a great location in hongdae - near the main strip (but never got too loud at night!) and a 3 min walk from the subway. rooms are slightly smaller than expected but the beds are comfy and you still have enough space to move around. there’s a common area too which was nice! the guesthouse felt busy but there were never major queues to use the bathroom/kitchen area.
