Richard was super helpful and super friendly, room is small but that’s to be expected. Only complaint is the toilet location. You have to sit at an angle because of how close it is to the wall. But other than that, this place is by far the best travel hostel I’ve been to.

It was our first big trip overseas and Richard made our accommodations easy and painless! We stayed just over two weeks, and though the room was small it was great for our budget. Richard treated us like family, always made sure we had eaten good food, and gave us lots of recommendations. We could always rely on him to help us in a pinch, and he was ready to offer accommodations for items that didn’t come with the room (such as ordering us large towels). The location was excellent; very quiet and close to tons of shops, restaurants, bus routes and the subway. Thank you so much for your kindness and friendship, we’ll be sure to stay again next time!

OPPA Hostel Rated High for Good Reason

If you are looking for a reasonably priced hotel, I recommend OPPA Hostel. Richard is a wonderful host and he goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable as much as possible. The room was clean and I had enough space to reorganize my luggage before I checked out. The washroom is a shower, toilet and sink combined, not ideal but you get used to it. The location is convenient and pretty quiet at night (4 min walk to Sinchon station). Would definitely return when I come back to Seoul.

Very convenient location to Hongdae and subway line 2/4/5, lots of restaurants on the street below, but be aware there are slopes and the hostel has stairs. Could be hard for large luggage. The owner Richard is really friendly and responsible. Basic communication in English/Chinese are both fine. Room itself is small but clean. Bathroom is separated from where you sleep but shower head is just above the toilet. Also only saw some small towels. Overall had a nice stay there.
