Hause Itaewon

Google maps isn't accurate in Seoul. Try this: after leaving Samgakji station by exit 1 continue to the nearest corner. Take a sharp right. Go left at the second street. You will be able to see the Korean War Memorial ahead of you. Look for a bright yellow door on the left side of street. Sign is above that. Two steps then 18 Stairs to get to the office and second floor rooms then another flight of 15 stairs to get to kitchen and 3rd floor rooms. 3rd floor bathroom is cold, damp and has gray tiles. Second floor bathrooms are warmer and more cheerful. The bedrooms have space heaters and can be warmed up. Staff (Amelie, Sandra and Raysa) were great. They couldn't see how I could manage the stairs, but where was I supposed to go instead? so they helped. Samgakji Station is on Metro lines 4 and 6 (although 6 was usually blocked off while I was there), two stations from Seoul Station so good access to the whole city (including airports) by Metro and buses. The crush was closer to Hamilton Hotel at Itaewon Station. I tried to go to the Gyeongdon Market Starbucks by Ch--ni Station but never found it. Korean War memorial was a close walk.

The staff was very cordial. I name Sandra and Alena particularly who were very helpful whenever I felt the need of some special help in operating the appliances. They even guided me plan for my travels by bus or subway train to save expenses on local travels. The kitchen is well equipped the utencils, plates and other pieces of need.

Very close to the (free) War Memorial of Korea meant it was very convenient to return several times. Located near a Metro station, the hostel is in a traditional alley with several authentic shops and restaurants. The kitchen is decent for cooking.

The location is pretty nice! You can find a lot of local restaurants nearby and right next to the subway station and bus stops! Also, just 2 stations away from the party district Itaewon!

The location was good, it was near the subway/bus station. The neighborhood is safe, there are alot of police officers around the area. The rooms are big, bright, and clean.there are 2 big toilettes and 2 big bathrooms in the second floor and one bathroom with a toilet in the third floor. There is a common area where you can sit and have your launch or dinner, you can also use the kitchen if you want to cook something. There are plenty of restaurant around the area and a G25 just around the corner.
