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.

Hostel Tommy was perfect for our stay in Seoul. Ideally located in a cool neighbourhood close to subway station. Easy to walk around and there is everything you need nearby. We loved that we could cook our own meal and the free breakfast was lovely. Tommy is so nice and helpful and all the staff is very friendly. The hostel is super clean and is an excellent value overall. Would definitely come back!
