PortugalI loved the location, so alternative and trendy, very near to transports and some nightlife without being too noisy inside the hotel.
I recommend and would definitely come back!

AustriaI had an all around positive experience staying at the hostel. There is enough space in the rooms, they are comfortable and the beds have large blackout curtains. The wide/long blankets are also a plus. The team and owner are very friendly and go above and beyond to help you and make you feel good.
The free laundry-machine/dryer is easy to use and the bathrooms are one of the best I have see in a hostel. Very clean, enough room with a seperate dry and wet area, all amenities (also hairbrushes and hair loops) and a table to place your belongings. On the 5th floor is the modern kitchen where you can have really good free breakfast each morning (toast, egg, milk, coffee, jam, etc.) and chat with other travellers. Going out from the kitchen you can also visit a nice rooftop. The area is near the market and the design plaza - the metro is just around the corner and there are nice food places and stands nearby. I lived here ~2 weeks and enjoyed my stay - cool hostel with very friendly hosts:)

CanadaMy stay at Dream House was amazing! I was there for a bit over a month (I was even able to extend my stay twice and keep my room) and I'm glad I decided to stay at Dream House. I'm a woman and was traveling alone, so I was very nervous, especially considering this was my first time traveling overseas, but the staff were very helpful and kind and I felt extremely safe at Dream House. The location is perfect, you're a 15 minute walk from Hapjeong Station (line 2), a 15 minute walk from Hongdae's main shopping area, about a 25 minute train ride from Myeongdong, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants within minutes and walking distance! When I go back to Seoul, I will 100% be staying with Dream House again, thank you so much to the staff for all their help and for taking care of me during my long stay!

South KoreaI had a great stay at this hostel! The location is perfect — just a short walk from the station, and since it’s right on the main street, it was really easy to find. The staff were super friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I was able to leave my luggage before check-in, which was really convenient. They also gave great recommendations for nearby restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
