The hosts were incredibly welcoming, really nice, and kept recommending things to do. The place was clean and well equipped. With the kitchen and rooftop, it was easy to connect with other travelers. I had an amazing stay at original Backpackers, would definitely recommend it and come back.

The breakfast was brilliant and set me up well for the day. I also really appreciated the hand warmers, which kept me toasty while I explored Seoul. The staff sent some local recommendations over WhatsApp, and I visited a few. The communal area and terrace are beautiful. I loved my stay here. It’s right in the centre of Seoul, and both the room and bathroom were really clean. I felt comfortable and safe. Thanks :)

The terrace was a lovely place to relax and meet other guests, and the neighborhood was well served, with a metro station just a minute away and excellent airport connections. The owners made the hostel feel welcoming, clean, and friendly. It had all the essentials, and the beds were very comfortable. This was the best hostel I’ve stayed in. Fully recommend it, and I hope to come back. :)

The rooftop view was lovely, and getting around Seoul couldn’t have been easier with the metro just 50m from the door. Juyoung was always welcoming, with a big smile and plenty of help. The place felt close to luxurious, from the spotless bathrooms and showers to the generous breakfast and free laundry with pods. The beds were comfier than my own at home. I was so happy with my stay that I’ve already recommended this hostel to friends and other travellers planning to visit Seoul.

Finding the way from Incheon Airport by train was easy thanks to Inkoo’s clear directions. Before I arrived, they texted my check-in details and later checked that I’d reached my room safely. The place was spotless, and you can tell the hosts put a lot of effort into keeping it that way. I’d done a lot of research before booking Original Backpackers, and it turned out to be a great choice. Juyoung and Inkoo have made it feel modern and welcoming, and they know lots of good places to eat, visit, or relax. After adding them on WhatsApp, or one of the other app options, I got daily suggestions for things to do that made planning easy. I already know I’ll book with them again when I come back next year.
