Naru Hostel Korea Reviews

Naru hostel runs on a self check in basis. Our room was at the top of a very narrow staircase on the laundry floor. Though humid, once the air con was on it was okay. The laundry was free between 8am-10pm which was a nice touch. Small fridge also in the room. The room itself was quite cramped, two small single beds separated by the fridge width. The blankets and pillows appeared clean however were not a quilt/duvet type which may be more difficult to wash as they were more the decorative type. Maybe a sheet would be more practical? The towels for the bathroom were no bigger than a small facial flannel which was a little impractical when drying. The bathroom was a decent size but the setup of the shower head coming from the sink tap was impractical as only hot water could come out the tap, and the shower head often spurted out water over our heads when using the sink. The location was good- 5 mins to the metro station meaning only a 10-15 minute trip to the bustling myeongdong area. We would stay again based on value for money in Seoul.

Wonderful hostel in a great location. Comfortable, clean and warm.

Overall is good Just one thing to highlight is the water heater It producing hot water but not enough of it , on and off turn itself The heater could be too small to meet the households hot water demand , so we have no choice to limit the length of shower

Good location, cute decoration.

It was better than I expected, and the location was pretty good. They replied to my emails right away. There are restaurants, cafes, and CUs nearby, so it's convenient. It was hard to adjust the hot water when I took a shower. It would have been nice if they had provided instructions on how to use it or tips.

The house is clean, you can take a hot shower, and the price is relatively low in Korea.

I checked in by myself, and didn't meet any staff from check-in to check-out. I was only provided with a key, so I wondered if I could just take it when I arrived. The room was big enough for me since I only needed to sleep! The bath mat was cute. However, I couldn't find the air conditioner remote control anywhere in the room lol The futon was thin, too. It was the day after the recent heavy snowfall, so it was very cold at night:(；ﾞﾟ'ωﾟ'): I managed to sleep by using a heating pad.

The sound insulation is not good, the transportation is quite convenient

When I live on the first floor, there is a sewage smell from the toilet. Sometimes it still happens when the toilet door is closed. In addition, I found black bugs crawling on the wall at night. The landlord is friendly and helpful, but the hygiene has improved.

There is a separate toilet in the room. The room has a peculiar smell and the bed is not too tidy and has stains.

Very good, the boss is also very enthusiastic

Although it wasn't particularly close to the station, it was nice to be able to go straight from the station. Since I was alone, the room didn't feel particularly small, and it was just right. I was worried after reading the reviews that there was no hot water, but it came out normally. (needs some adjustment) It's not that it's beautiful, but I don't think it's that noticeable of dirt. I think it's a good place for people who want to stay cheaply.

Have a nice rest

The room was clean
