Great service and accommodating staff!”
We actually took a day off from Nabi Hostel to have a day trip to Jeonju. The hostel staff were kind enough to keep our bulky luggage for our trip so we didn't have to lug 3 luggage to Jeonju. Many hotels charge for luggage storage so this gesture was much appreciated. As usual, very friendly staff. Take some time to chat with them and you will learn more about the hostel, the area and even some hidden jewels in and around Seoul. Must emphasize that the location is very good. In the heart of Hongdae and within walk-able distance to Sinchon.

Wonderful stay”
Nabi is the only hotel who send an email upon my reservation to confirm my booking and enquire my arrival time. This is really professional. I was at Seoul for three days and heading towards Jeju for four days and decided not to bring so many luggages to Jeju. Nabi gladly received our luggages and kept it in storage during the four days when we are away. Nabi also provide us with a free upgrade to a bigger room. Breakfast was simple but fulfilling. Location is brilliant. It's 2 mins walk to Hongik University station (which is an ideal station to Gimpo and Incheon airport). With the ideal location, you can save cost on AREX by just taking the subway to and fro airport. I would like to compliment that Kelvin went extra miles by helping us with the luggages all the way to the gantry of the subway (2 ladies with 3 luggages and 2 backpacks) and we are really grateful for this kind gesture! It is certainly a hostel providing hotel services. Kudos to the Nabi team!

Great stay”
The staff asked me once I booked for my arrival time and the room was ready for my early check in which is so nice because I had an overnight flight. Staff are very helpful. The lady helped me order food and even deliver it to my room. (which is beyond what I expected). Location are great, close to everything especially if you love Hongdae and Yongnam dong. The room is spacious enough to open two luggages and still has some space left. The floor also has heating system which you can adjust the temperature. One thing I don't like much is the bathroom which has only curtain divide the zone so the whole floor get wet when taking a shower but it wasn't that big deal. I had a wonderful stay here and will comeback again for sure. <3 Nabi hostel, please keep up the good work!!!!

Great Hostel - More like Hotel at a steal!”
We frequent Korea and we are used to staying in AirBnB apartments for the relatively low price, good location and facilities. We tried Nabi Hostel for a change and boy were we surprised. Great location, spacious room, adequate facilities and awesome staff! For the price, Nabi Hostel definitely edges out most highly rated AirBnB apartments. Free do-it-yourself laundry service is available. Complimentary breakfast is basic but adequate. The staff were very friendly and helpful - always giving solutions to our needs. They even provide itinerary planning and attraction booking services. We were so pleased with our stay that we booked our next stay on the spot!

Second Time Staying. Getting better!”
This is our second time staying at Nabi Hostel and we cannot be any happier with the service and friendly staff. Flying in overnight into Seoul, we arrived early at the Hostel, way before check-in time. The hostel staff recognized us from our previous trip and was flexible enough to make special arrangements to allow us to check in early, giving us a much needed rest. Throughout our stay, staff were very friendly and accommodating to our requests. Room was clean and spacious enough. Great value for the location and free daily breakfast! Worth to switch over from AirBnB. * Note that they began to charge for use of the laundry machine which was free for use previously. Not a big issue as the fee was reasonable.

Excellent hotel in Hongik University Subway Station”
We had wonderful time in Nabi Hostel which has a very convenience location that it took less than 10 minutes from the subway station. Also, we can find many restaurants, convenience store, cafes and shopping spots near the Hostel. The hotel is very clean with very professional and helpful staff. Thank you Nabi Hostel and I would come back if I visit Seoul in future.

Great location. Good quality. Cozy. ”
Stayed this hostel with my mother. Very nearby HongDae shopping area. Hostel equipped with an elevator, convenient to travellers who love shopping,also good for accompanied elderly. 30 seconds far from exit 2 and 3 of metro line 2 HongDae station. Easy transport to and from airport as the station also connected with AREX. Staffs are nice. Room is tidy and clean and cozy. Only one point to be picky is the shower room a bit small and no hanger for clothes. I stayed in the deluxe twin room equipped with a queen size double bed and a single bed as well. Not to worry about stowage of luggage as room is spacy enough. Best hostel ever!!!

Nice staff and good location ”
This is my second time staying in Nabi. Location is really good, just within 1 min to Hongdae exit 2 or 3. Most important, they have lift in their building in which not much hostel/guesthouse in the same area can be provided. Sure, I will stay again in future :)

Superb”
My mom and I stayed in this hostel when we went to Seoul last week. My mom rarely travels and has never stayed in a hostel before. So she was quite worried when I told her I booked a hostel. But it turns out that this is the best place she's even stayed in. Location is excellent, staff is friendly (esp manager Hosun who replied emails so promptly), room is neat, and everything is arranged with attention to details. We're so satisfied with this hostel that it'll be our first choice if we have to stay in Seoul again. (How I wish it has single rooms so I can stay here when I travel to Seoul alone...)

good location and facilities”
The location is conveniently located very near to Hongdae station. Staff very helpful and fluent in English. Breakfast was simple and yet nice. We went in Jan which was very cold, but the room temperature was comfortable. Although it is said to be a hostel, it has most of the amenities of a hotel, including kettle, room slippers, and what i like best was that it has electric plugs suitable for type G plug so that we can charge multiple devices at the same time, and not limited to the only one adapter that we have. We booked a triple room and it came with 2 single beds and one queen bed. With 2 middle sized luggage, there was almost no walking space. Except for this last point, the rest of the stay was very good.

Location superb . Staff nice . Clean and comfort place to stay. ”
Location is superb just a short walk from line 2 Hongik Uni station exit 2. You can see Nabi Hostel just right in front at the exit 2 line 2 escalator . You can easily travel from airport , bus terminal and any other line 2 destinations . However , breakfast can be more variety and better. Room clean and comfort though it’s quiet small . We two persons stayed in a family room for 3 just enough for 2 big bags . Limited space to move around . Bathroom is small . Hope to have better reading lights .

1-2 mins walk from subway Hongdae with good price (REALLY RECOMMENDED!)”
Location : Around 1-2 mins walk from exit 3 (which is near Yeonnam Dong and Airport line) and right on the the main road. The souvenir shop and convenient stores are around. Room & Facilities : I'd rather say it's similar to the hotel quality, not hostel. I booked double room. The room is big (for this affordable price) and they have private bathroom with towels/shampoo & conditioner/shower gel. Inside the room, it has all necessary amenities like 2 free water bottles every day (you can ask for more free of charge or fill up the water yourself), pocket wifi, 2 sets of toothbrush, and even slippers! The heating system is on the floor so it's quite warm in winter. FYI, I can't find any safety box so I guess they don't have it. Breakfast : The price includes 1 set of western BF. The cereal and juice is unlimited though. Staff : Friendly and helpful **I'll be back to this hostel again for sure. It's worth for money with great location and friendly staff.

Great hostel in a great location”
This hostel/hotel is located right next to the metro station in the Hongdae area. There are lots of restaurants and malls in this area that provide you good entertainment during the off hours. For seeing attractions, the metro station you are near is very convenient to both see sights and go to the airport when you're done. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast was a nice extra.

Excellent location, modern room design”
Close to Hongdae station and Express station. Modern room design, although the room is not big, but still enough for my family with one 1.5 year-old child. Living in Hongdae is a best choice for someone like shopping. I would stay here again when visit Seoul again. Free simple breakfast offered at B1 floor. The reception may close earlier than 23:00.
