What was the highlight of Backpackers Inside

The breakfast was good.

The breakfast was good. There was kitchen where everyone could cook whatever they wanted with most of the ingredients and vessels needed being available. All different kinds of toileteries including body wash, face wash, moisturiser, toothpaste were provided. The staff was really friendly and their advice on how to spend a perfect day was just the best

First to be frank, i had not expected the single rooms to be that small. They were still manageable but too small. The bed was smaller then the ones in dormatory and i barely fit in that. Secondly, it mentioned air conditioned, but you've to pay 500 won per hour of usage on the name of environment to get it working. Though when i travelled, the weather was fine i just used the small fan they provided, but when its hot, you'll need to pay for air conditioning

It's a very small place so you get to know the people very fast and the staff is really friendly, helpfull and easy to talk to. The location is great. It's also very clean and comfy.

Due to the room only having a small window it was always hot with stuffy air

Nice for the price and I am happy to come back again.

The staff is super helpful and nice. They separate the living room (where people can talk and have fun) and the sleeping rooms (where people need to be quiet). No phone calls are allowed in the room (even in a single one), so I had a quiet night to myself. Only bread, butter, and jam are offered as breakfast. (It is not my dissatisfaction, but simply a statement.)

Everything is clean except that there are some sandish things on my bed (underneath the pillow). But not really a big deal.

Perfect for solo traveler

The friendly staffs and ppls, the comfortable bed, the price of course, the public seating area atmosphere, provide free breakfast, clean floor, just everything! 3mins walk to main road bus station, 12mins walk to Hyewah station, surrounded by cheap and good food restaurants, minutes walking distance to shopping street and drinking place.

The location, nicely decorated social room, a lot of useful hints on the walls

Disappointed with the size and equipment of the 4-bed dorm room, once I had problem with charging my devices in my socket (at other beds it was fine), I asked to have the bulb in my lamp exchanged because it didn't work but next day it wasn't done. Everything was creaking - bed, door. Sliding doors in the bathroom couldn't be closed smoothly, therefore people struggled with that and all this noise could be heard in the room. Breakfast without eggs (which was standard in the rest of the hostels in South Korea I stayed in)

It was a memorable trip

Good thing is one of the Korean stranger guy helped me out, i like the Korean people due to their hospitality and cooperation. I have a very strong positive impression of Korean people now. They make you feel comfortable.

Hyehwa Subway Station should need to be mentioned, as when i reached there it was very cold & i find the place after extreme struggle..

Home away from home in Seoul

The staff were super friendly and helpful! They made me feel at ease during my arrival in Korea. The staff are always happy to chat and offer advice on where to explore and places to eat! You get to feel like a true local. Backpackers inside is like a home away from home and you will leave with friends for life! Hands down, one of the best hostels in Seoul!

Nothing.
