Violeta was especially nice, the room was clean, the bed and comforter was so comfortable and really kept myself warm during those winter nights. It was much better than I expected and I really loved the place. My room was available when i arrived, thus, they allowed me... More

Close to the subway, in the middle of Jongno-gu, an area ful of life, only about 20 minutes from Insa-dong, Myeong-dong and Dongdaemun, Bong House is the ideal place for you, friendly backpackers!

I stayed 4 nights at Bong House in the dormitory and it was really nice. I met some really cool people and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hostel is very clean (better than other places I stayed at) and it provides you with anything you need and is not expensive. So if you're planning to visit South Korea... More

We picked Bong House for our first trip to Seoul and it was a decision we didn't regret. It wasn't hard finding the place thanks to the helpful guide from its website, and I must say how great the location was! The subway & bus stops were just minutes away surrounded by lively shops and plenty of restaurants. We spent... More

A great place to stay. Friendly backpacker vibe, helpful staff, easy WiFi access...everything a hostel should be. The proprietor, Bong, was especially friendly and gave good advice. The bar next door is a plus and is a great place to meet up and chat with your fellow travelers. Location is nice - just a 7 minute walk to the subway.... More

Good value for money accomodation. Bonus was the hospitality that Mr Bong and his staff showed. You won't regret staying there. I regretted not staying long enough.

We arrived at almost 12 am but they still open for check in. Me, my husband and my brother in law got a room for three at 18 000 won per person. It's a double decker with queen bed at the bottom and a single bed at the above. The room is very nice, with a toilet, a washing machine... More
