January 19-27, 2015...We had a great stay with my friends at Inside. We requested to stay on a dormitory at the main building at the time of booking but due to certain situations we were been offered to stay at another building. Positively, with regards to this, Minyoung and her wife Mia offered us a free room upgrade which was incredibly a very good one coz we were offered a two rooms (2 bedding and 4 bedding) which was really really good better than a six bedroom dormitory type on a price of a 6 bedroom dormitory. Minyoung's sister Jihyeon was very good worker too for she help us on anything we need on our stay at Inside.
The building was very good because we were the only one at first to stay at the building so we can use all the amenities on our own. the toilet is very clean and very well maintained. All things are all on good conditions. I was hesitantly at first to stay at another building because i have stayed before at the main building which I really love to have stayed again together with my friends. But staying on another building was not very bas because it was really new and still ambiance was very good same with the main building.
This is a very good accommodation to stay. A lot of very good restaurants, streetfoods and shopping area Nightlife is very good because most of the restaurants and shooping stores were still open until midnight or until very early morning Near the Palaces (5 mins walk) Near the subway station A lot of people for this is near the Sunkyunkwan University so you get better deals on shopping and foodtrips
Book trough their website or message through their facebook page would I believe is much cheaper than using agodas,...
Read moreBackpackers INSIDE was just awesome !!!! Everything went smooth from the beginning !
Booking was easy!! They replied really fast, answered my questions and made the requested changes to my reservation without any problem!. I love the fact that they use PayPal to reserve your room, which is something other hostels are lacking. There are many things to love about this hostel.
The first one is the staff. The staff is just awesome, attentive, helpful, fun and talkative. My room was already prepared when I got there, and I had a small tour inside INSIDE (something that other hostels didn't do when I traveled to different cities). During my stay in S. Korea, i had to add extra days at the hostel while I was in a different city, and the staff did it without any problems. There was always someone there to assist with whatever I needed help with.
The hostel itself is really really nice, well organized, clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The area where the hostal is located is just perfect!! It is located nearby many restaurants, convenience stores, ATMs, cafes, Hyehwa subway station etc. Everything is within walking distance and the area is really secure even late at night.
This was my very first hostel experience, and it was just great thanks to INSIDE.
I am not sure when I will go back to visit S.Korea again, but whenever I do, I will definitely definitely stay at INSIDE again. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is on a backpacking trip to S.Korea!!
감사합니다...
Read moreThis is our second time to stay in Backpackers Inside during our trip to Seoul. And as usual, we enjoyed our stay. The staff we had met (Min, Roy, and Britta) are all cool, accommodating, helpful, and friendly. It was really nice to have small chit-chats with them during breakfast and while staying in the common room. The deluxe rooms we got are clean and fully equipped with mini-kitchen, bathroom, washing machine, fridge, microwave, and PC. It felt like living in a college dorm! The surrounding area is relatively safe and we felt secured going home even on the wee hours of the night.
Inside is near Sungkyungkwan University so the area is very lively even at late night. You can find different restaurants and cafes and convenience stores to suit whatever you need. It is also just a few walks away from Hyehwa subway station and the airport bus so travelling is really convenient.
We will definitely stay again in Backpackers Inside when we return to Seoul, hopefully this coming 2014...
