Property was in a great location, very close to jong bak station. It was also fairly close to the major tourist attractions of seoul. Unfortunately, i wasnt a fan of the self check in process. You need to enter sets of codes to get into the building, then the floor then the room. This meant having to remember the codes or pull them out everytime. Because of the format of the stay, i actually didn't meant any hotel staff besides the cleaner therefore that whole hospitality feeling went missing for me over here. I also stayed solo here and got a private room(single room.) I found it difficult to speak to other travellers, the social room could have been better, staggering across 2 floors i don't think works well, more social things at the stay would have been nicer. Looking back, i would've tried to find a more socialable hostel instead with actual people.

Close to Cheonggyecheon Stream which is a very peaceful place in the bustling city. Many food options outside and close to transport. Property was clean and the fresh towels and bottled water were also very good. Staff are responsive to any enquires when you email them. Very happy with my stay.

It was a nice hostel and the room has great aircon, mine had a nice view and it’s pretty close to the river. The only draw back is they’re mostly staff-less so you have to do your own check in and email them your passport. They also don’t have secure luggage storage. You just leave it behind an unmanned desk which everyone has access to. There’s also stairs of you’re staying up on the 12th floor with no lift option.

Great stay!
I booked one of their rooms for me, so it really felt like a hotel. Room was cozy and clean. Breakfast is simple but nice (the coffee is actually really good!). Location is easy to get by in the city. Staff at reception was always super helpful. Only two things bothered me: there is no elevator to the 12th floor, so I had to go up the stairs one floor with my rather heavy suitcase; the 12th floor has a small terrace/balcony, and my room was facing that (along with 2 other rooms out of their 5 or 6 rooms in 12th floor), which meant I had to keep the shades down and lights on all the time to have some privacy.

Hostel Haru provides better services and facilities than some hotels I have stayed in. It is an incredibly clean, well maintained property in a brilliant location. As a traveller with big aspirations but a very tight budget, I really couldn't have found somewhere better to stay.

Pricey but good.
It's a little pricey for a hostel. The location is good and room is comfortable. It's not too noisy because they don't have too many rooms and this made my stay relaxing.

The place is clean and nice. Breakfast was good. The extra perks were really a plus point, 1 bottle of drinking was provided everyday, 2 small clean towels were provided daily as well. My only 2 constructive comments would be to thicken/darken the curtains for the beds as the lights could be too glaring for the person next to us if we decide to use it late at night and i don't mind if there's a one or 2 common bathrooms/toilets that we could use other than the private ones that is attached to the room (which i absolutely appreciate) for night owls like me. I came back after 12am a few nights, and it's not so nice to be taking shower and using the hair dryer when everyone was already sleeping, so i end up not taking one, haha.

Staff are helpful, room size is small but tidy and clean. Breakfast time is the highlight for those whom don’t mind to cook for themselves. About 15 mins walk to Mengdong shopping area

Perfect location because it is in the middle of everything. Safe and secure with multiple security keypads from the ground floor up to our room. Sparkling clean rooms with complete amenities and towels were changed everyday. Basic but more than sufficient breakfast. The ability to self check-in was great and the guidebook provided was super helpful. Will definitely recommend to others and stay here again!
