best hostel for solo travelers”
Hands down the nicest hostel I've been at. The dorm room had its own bathroom inside, so its only shared by the 6 people, compared to most hostels that have one main bathroom/shower for the entire floor. The location was great too, building was connected to a 24hr convenience store and the area was on a well lit street compared to many hostels in Korea that are on small alley streets.

Cute accommodations”
I think Hostel Haru is one of the cutest places I’ve ever stayed in. The decor for the dorm rooms are really nice and inviting. I also really liked that the toilet and shower are inside the room so you have less people to share with. Amenities and toiletries are complete and the location is great. The common areas are all wonderfully decorated as well. I would definitely consider staying here again the next time I’m in Seoul, but may get a solo room next time.

Lots of restaurants in the area. Within walking distance to myeong-dong, insadong. Room is clean and comfortable. It will be good to have a shower curtain to separate the wet and dry area in the toilet.

I traveled alone and always felt safe here. The location is less than 5 minutes from the subway. There is an elevator to the location. There are conveniently located stores and foreign atm around for foreigners. The staff was nice and the place was clean. I would return. It’s also very close to the scenic stream.

Staff never reply and you can get no help after 6pm”
From checkin, I have seen no one except when cleaning. They said they have free laundry, which is good, but they never communicated it’s only opening 6-10pm. In Seoul, at that time, who would stay in hostel just for laundry?? Coming back at 6:30 deliberately for laundry, but it’s closed and you can reach NO ONE. What’s the point for locking the laundry room when you are not putting people to look at that anyway??

Great experience”
This is the first time I stayed at a hostel. Saw great reviews about this new hostel and decided to stay here for my first trip in Seoul. Overall I am very happy with the hostel and will be back to stay when I am in Seoul again. Given the price that you have paid for, it is definitely worth the price! Directions from Incheon: I took the airport express, changed to Line 1 at Seoul Station and alight at Jonggak. Once you arrive at Jonggak, you can opt to exit from Exit 8, 10 or 12. Choose Exit 12 if you have bulky luggage as there's an escalator (save the hassle of carrying your luggage up 2 flights of stairs). Once you are out from Exit 12, turn right and walk towards Starbucks. Turn left into the side lane and walk all the way to the end and Hostel Haru is on your right, before the convenience stall. If you choose to exit from Exit 10, turn right and you will see Starbucks and if you choose to exit from Exit 8, turn left and you will see Starbucks. Simply refer to above on how to get to Hostel Haru. Do not use the elevator as that leads to you to the other side of the road. Location: It is walking distance to Myeongdong, Insadong, the palaces and it is behind the Cheonggyecheon Stream! There's plenty of things to eat around the area and it is always very crowded in the evening (healthy crowd). Room: I booked a double room as I wanted a slightly bigger space. It comes with a double bed, a bunk bed and an attached bathroom. I used the double bed to put my items while I slept on the bunk bed. Breakfast: They do provide breakfast but I did not eat them. Thus can't comment on it. Wifi: I did not use it as I have my own. Others: Their reception is at Level 6. Thus you need to go there first before they bring you up to your room. Some minor inconvenience: - They don't provide bath towels, only have face towels. It could be my oversight that I did not realize it. - I stayed on Level 12 and the room closest to the door. It can be quite noisy at night when people get

Thanks MEI for your review and directions to our hostel! We do provide bath towels now for double room so don't worry if you choose double room, just come and use ours the next time!
Exceptional”
Location was pretty great - approximately 3-minute walk from Jonggak station exit 4 (line 1) and 8 minutes from Euljiro-1-ga station (line 2). You can also walk to the Myeong Dong area and it only takes about 10-15 minutes. The area has several eateries and mini marts nearby and so it feels quite safe, without being too noisy. Facilities are also new and clean, and I love the aesthetics of the place :) The price of Hostel Haru is a little higher than other hostels, but I do think it's worth it.

Extremely comfortable hostel”
Awesome location - truly 2 min walk to subway, walkable distance to myeong-dong and just a stone-throw away from the famous canal-turned-stream park. Eateries in its vicinity operates past midnight. You can expect a very happening (and healthy) crowd. There is also a convenient store, daiso, fast food restaurant and Starbucks in 3-min was radius. Hostel itself - super new (operation started in 2016 March), clean, very thoughtful room layout (one door leading to the dress-up area with basin, two doors separating the toilet and the shower room from the dress-up area. The rooms (both 4-in-1 and 6-in-1) are reasonably spacious. It can accommodate 2 large luggage open up on the floor or 3 girls doing make-up at the same time. Area for improvements - staff are friendly but not totally helpful. They do their job well but do not expect them to go to an extra mile. Room/bed was vacant (verified by asking existing roommate!!!) but the staff refused to allow early check-in despite vein approached for numerous time. Knowing that it was not due to practical reason but merely an act to follow by the book, it gave rise to frustration, especially to traveller who arrives early in the morning and wish for a power nap before leaving hostel for a day of adventure, or one who wishes to have a long day out without returning back by 11 (counter closes at 11 pm) to do checkin. After all, Seoul is a city with area which never sleeps (Dongdaemun).

Thank you for your review. The reason why we are unable to allow early check-in is because we have to do housekeeping and make it done before the check-in time or before guests come back to our hostel after their daily travelling schedule. We hope all guests can understand our stand to keep our hostel clean and neat for the comfort of all guests.
Exceptional”
Hostel Haru is one of the best hostels I've stayed in! The location is just perfect - very near Myeongdong, Cheonggyecheon, and Insadong. Even if you don't feel like walking to Myeongdong, there are still plenty of shops nearby and there is also an underground shopping in Jonggak station. The room and facilities are clean and aesthetically pleasing; if you feel lazy to go out or if it's raining, it's ok to just stay in the room or lounge as these are comfortable and doesn't feel too cramped. The staff is professional and helpful. Staying at the dormitory was also a great way to meet other solo travelers or even locals who decided to stay overnight! I definitely will rebook in Hostel Haru if I go back to Seoul and will recommend this to my friends!

THE BEST HOSTEL SO FAR IN KOREA!”
Me and my friend stayed in Hostel HARU on our first 4 days in Seoul. When we arrived there, we already fell in love with the hostel. The staff was really friendly - Shiro was really helpful! Terima kasih banyak! The area is perfect - 2mins walking from Jonggak St. Exit 4, 7mins walking from Euljiro 1-ga St. Exit 3, 10mins walking from Myeongdong. The view from the room was amazing!!! - I requested for a nice view room and they gave it to us. Cheonggyecheon Stream and city lights at night was unforgettable. The lounge area was lovely too. They let us keep our luggages for 4 nights in their locker (safety guaranteed!) during our trip to Jeju & Busan. We also very satisfied with other service & facilities. I would definitely want to stay here when I come back to Seoul. Thank you so much for your warmth hospitality!

affordable, accessible location and friendly staff”
I stayed here for my first solo trip abroad. Hostel Haru is located in Jongno-gu in central Seoul. The area is very much alive during evenings. Restaurants of all kinds can be found in this area. If you're looking for some affordable or mid-priced meals and you don't want to venture far, better check the restaurants or eateries around. Some cultural and shopping areas are a 10 - 30 minute walk. You can walk to Gyeokbokgung palace compound, some museums, Myeongdong shopping center/street and Insadong. There are two subway stations nearby: Jonggak, a 5-minute walk and Euljiro 1-ga, a 10-minute walk. Amidst of the surrounding establishments, the area is not chaotic and the hostel is easy to locate. However, if you stay in the dormitory-typed room, expect some inconvenience on privacy. The bed may not also be huge enough for tall people. There are also no lockers in the dormitory-type room to stash stuff but for safekeeping valuables, guests can use their respective safe box. Wall hooks and hangers are sufficient to hang coats, towel or pants hence I didn't mind the absence of a locker. In terms of service, the hostel staff is amiable and accommodating. If you travel light, they will be providing you towels and toiletries daily. As a first-timer in Seoul, I didn't bother where to have my breakfast as it was included in my accommodation. I have no qualms with the hostel's cleanliness; our room was cleaned daily. Amidst a few inconveniences, I think the hostel was worth my money. Location wise, it is an accessible and safe place to stay for a week-long visit in Seoul.

Thank you Anna for your review! We have safe boxes in each room and if guests want to use lockers, they may use the lockers available at 12F. It is huge enough to fit a middle size luggage.
Extended Stay”
You would find this as my second entry because I liked it so much I decided to cancel my switch to a different hotel on my other days in Seoul. Hostel Haru was so satisfying I didn’t feel the need to move, and it’s located conveniently to everything. Shopping in Myeongdong, food, temple/palace visits, proximity to tour packages departure point or duty free shopping at lotte. Everything was within reach plus the room was just perfect in every way. Compliments to the owner and staff for creating something quite the jewel.

Perfect!!”
Hostel HARU is centrally and conveniently located by a subway station and within walking distance to shopping, places to eat and cultural sightseeing areas. I stayed in the shared female dormitory room, which was cozy, and spotlessly clean and new. I particularly liked the individual TV units (you can plug in your headphones to listen), you also get a bottle of water inside the refrigerator and 2 face towels replaced every morning. Breakfast is provided and was substantial. The staff and other guests I met were very nice. Highly recommended and would love to stay again if I'm ever back in Seoul.

Loved this place! A+++!”
I love everything about this place! The pictures don't lie, it's as nice as it looks on the pictures! Very easy to find and it's very safe. I love how clean everything is. They prepare toiletries, towel and mineral water which is a nice touch to each guest. There's laundry room and kitchen where they provide bread loaf, rolls, butter, condiments (peanut butter, jelly), orange/apple juice, milk and eggs on the fridge. You can also do light cooking because they have pans, saucer, stove and microwave. There's water cooler in the kitchen and electric kettle in the room. The room is quite spacious. You have your own TV where you can hear the sound through a cable using your headset so you won't bother the other guest (but I had a problem with mine while I was there, there was no sound when I plugged my headset to the cable and although I had already told the front desk about it and she said they will fix it but later when I tried using it, it still didn't work). There's a mini fridge in the room where you can keep your drink chilled. There are so many restaurants near the hostel so you won't be starving! There's a convenience store right downstairs if you wanna buy some snack/drink/tissue/essentials. It's 1-minute walk from Jonggak station and 10-minute walk to Myeongdong and Gwanghwamun Square. Very convenient. They serve breakfast from 8 - 9.30 AM at 6th floor. If you wanna store your big luggage, you can do so at 12th floor where they have a locker. The staff was nice and helpful. All in all, I'm very impressed and very happy with Haru Hostel and I'd definitely stay here again and recommend this place to my friends and family!
