Birdsnest Hostel Hongdae Foreigner only

It's cheap and in a good location. The wifi is fast. The woman at check in knew a lot and spoke English, so that was very helpful for trip planning. The beds have curtains for privacy.

TLDR; You MUST stay here at least once in your life! This is the place of legends. I stayed here for 4 weeks. Everyone has a story about the woman who works here. I can only tell you what happened to me, but trust me there are other amazing stories. Painfully Unfriendly. Does not acknowledge your presence at any time except to get you in to trouble for something. Tried to charge me 10.000 won for someone else leaving a cup in the living room. Scolded me for opening a window when it was hot. I didn't touch the window. Got me in to trouble for replacing the batteries on the door lock. Again, I didn't touch it. Kept on telling me "checkout at 11am" on days I wasn't checking out. As it turns out, she wants you out of the house from 11am until 3pm each day. Weird rule, but please at least tell me it's even a rule! Accused me of being Rude because I used the microwave when she was sitting one space away from it in the tiny kitchen. Then said it's ok because I'm old so I must not have any manners! She stayed in the same room as me and speaks to herself loudly and angrily in Korean at night time. And then gets me in to trouble for being loud at night! Met the owner and he is the nicest guy I've ever met in my life! Apologizing for the difficulties, offering discounts and talking about the history of the building and the hostel here. Aside from Steff (Or Julia, or whatever she decides to call herself this week), the hostel is serviceable enough, especially for the price. VERY amenable to meeting other guests. Great Location. I love Hongdae. Trust me, you have to stay here once and make your own legendary memories here

Good hostel, but under certain conditions! If you like big companies of people, new datings - it is the perfect place for you. You can make new friends and have a great time. If you are looking for a place to relax and spend the night - this option may not be suitable for you, because it can be quite noisy. Anyway, I want to say a huge thanks to the guys who worked there and to everyone I met, it was a great and fun time Location is great Price is great

- good location, 10 minute walk to major bus lines and metro station -had everything to offer with good shower, hot water, room to sit and hang out, fully equipped kitchen -very clean -small lockers for valuables (make sure to bring your own lock)

We liked the staff and the facilities, we were threatened as friends, that was a wonderful stay :)
