This hostel was very ideally located for visiting many places, including Jongmyo shrine and Insa-dong. It is also fairly close to the Jongno 3-ga subway station, so transportation is easy. The rooms were very clean, and I enjoyed having a private bathroom.

Tommy and Nicholas were so friendly and made us feel so welcome! They went out of their way to be helpful and gave us loads of good tips for our trip.

All the staff were very nice & very helpful even though , except the CEO, others were not fluent in English. Our flight arrived late and we reached Hostel Tommy at 1 am. Had no toruble with self check-in. It is quiet a place, just a 5-6 minutes walk from Jongno 3-ga subway station and 15 - 20 minutes walking distance to palaces. There is a 7-11 on ground floor of this building several eating places near the subway station. Breakfast is simple cereals & toast . But you can use the microwave and dining / common area throught the day. The only discordant note was about room cleaning. It was mentioned that it would be done every third day. We stayed for four days. Our room was not cleaned. Since we could get fresh towels from reception ( and leave the old ones there) it was not a big deal for us. But would have been nice. We do look forward to staying here on our future visit.

CP值高的青旅
雖然是青年旅館，不過也有一般房間含有私人衛浴的房間可以選擇，附簡易早餐可以自己烤麵包、喝牛奶咖啡、吃玉米片等等的，這次是冬天的時候去的，天氣冷冷，但房間內除了有暖氣以外，竟然還有地熱，超棒的，地理位置也很好，就在益善洞，離鐘路3街大概5分鐘步程，8號出口有電梯，整體環境很乾淨，房間雖不大，但如果是前開式行李箱，可以放3個大的沒問題，價格又便宜，如果超過櫃檯服務時間，也可以自助check in，超簡單，樓下就有超商，有一個小缺點是沒有電梯，lobby在2樓，要自己搬行李上下樓，其他都很好。
