Tolles Hostel. Sauber, gepflegt, freundliches Personal. Es ist möglich, das Gepäck am Abreisetag einzuschließen. Bei Bedarf gibt es Shampoo, Duschgel und sogar Spray gegen Mücken uä. Ca. 10min Fußweg zur U-Bahn.

My family and I stayed at Banana Backpackers for five nights. The staff was very helpful. Directions were available for getting to a variety of sites using public transportation. An MTR/subway stop was within walking distance. We would stay here again if we visit Seoul.

2番手利用の宿

窓が無い部屋で暗くてシャワーがチョロチョロしかでないところだった。 ソウル駅から歩くと30分は歩く事になる。 排水溝の匂いもするんでちょっと辛いかなと思う。 ただしオーナーの奥さんが日本人で普通に日本語が通じるので その面では非常に助かる。 積極的に泊まろうとは思わないが 他に良いところが無ければ押さえとしてはつい使えるかも。

Overall, everything is good. - Hostel is located near Sookmyung Women Univ. station (about 10 minutes walking), just one stop from Seoul station, it's convenient for transporting. - The host is super friendly as well as the guest. - Room is clean, enough spacious. Bathroom with hot shower. Shared kitchen with full of home appliance (microwave, oven...). Just one minus that is heater not working in first and last day, it makes the room too cold. However, this place is highly recommend if you just need one place to rest at night.

Caring people in a great location

Lovely people at Banana Backpackers! I must confess I did catch the flu and was a bit of a mess, but they were very helpful and caring! I stayed for 14 nights in total. You do, however, get what you pay for. The quality of the room and bathroom was average, but bearable. The heated floor wasn't done correctly (?) (Don't know how to word it), as only certain parts of the floor heated up. The location is good as it only takes about 5 minutes to walk to the station and there's plenty of restaurants around. It's also easy to order take-out on yogiyo. I'd recommend this place to those who aren't picky about the look/feel of the room and just need a place to rest!

Nice place to stay. Have a young hippy vibe to it. My kids love it there. About 10 minutes walk from the subway. Close enough to the centre of Seoul (only 1 station away from Seoul Station) and very quiet at night.

Decent Hostel.

This was a decent hostel. It has everything you need for your stay. The room is a bit small. The bed was clean and comfortable enough. The location of the hostel was great. A lot of convenient store and restaurant near by. Bus station is right outside and Seoul station is about 15min walk away.

가격대비 괜찮은듯하면서도 아쉬움이 남는 곳

화장실/샤워실이 복도로 바로 이어져 있음에도 환풍기가 없어서 환풍하려면 복도로 이어지는 창문을 열어야 된다는게 큰 단점이더군요. 뜨거운 물도 한참 틀어야 나오고 랩탑을 놔둘 간단한 책상도 없다는게 불편했습니다. 또한 저녁에는 히터가 안되기 때문에 추웠습니다. 가격에 비한다면 큰걸 기대할순 없겠지만 화장실 환풍이나 히터 같은 것들은 좀더 신경을 써주는게 좋을거 같습니다. 그밖에는 타올이나 칫솔, 샴푸 같은 것들을 편안하게 쓸수 있게 만들어놓은게 좋았습니다.

Good value for short term stay.

I like the easy access to many places to see and enjoy and also roof-top for a view of the town. I recommend all tourists this place for a short term stay.

Great Location

Our room had everything we needed. Check in was smooth and we were greeted warmly. I would stay here again if I were staying in the area
