Stayed with my friend for four weeks, divided into two interwalls. When we left the first time, we stored some of our luggage in a locker which only the staff had the key to, and picked it up three weeks later, when we came back. Very satisfied with both the staff and the other guests. Free coffee and tea. Well... More

Me and my friend stayed at Banana for about 1 1/2 months, we had a short break as we went to Jeju for three weeks and then we came back. Banana treats you like a family member, and they are always very happy to assist you with whatever you need. They recommended restaurants, culture happenings, tourist attractions and lots lots...

We were so happy at teh Seoul Banana Backpackers. We moved here from a fancy hotel (one that was 3 times the cost of banana backpackers). The place is clean, the neighborhood is right in the middle of things and yet quiet at night. There is laundry facilities and very reasonable prices on anything you might need (there is free... More

Family room costing 63000 for 2 adults and 1 child was dank and dirty, the toilet leaked onto the bathroom floor and in fact looked like this has been the case for some time. Under the bunkbed was filthy..Paid up for 3 nights and left after 2. Free laundry was handy but I would not stay there again. .

I spent my first night in Korea at banana Backpacker’s Hostel which was really great value for the price. It is located only 5 minutes walk from Insadong and only five from one of the royal palaces. It is easily accessible from the airport, and their directions, both online and available in pamphlet form the Tourist Information booth at the... More

I did stop to ask for directions twice coz after you turn right from the gas station and cross the road... More

We picked this hostel because it is very conveniently located near Insadong and is cheap for it's location. We stayed there 2 different times and thus were in 2 different ones. The first room was a family room and included 1 double bed, 1 bunk bed, and a TV. The bathroom in this first room was larger and actually had... More

Reading the reviews on different website on Banana Backpackers, I went there with a good view of this hostel. However, the experience there was really disappointing. The staff are friendly and speak considerable good English. But, what disappoint me most was the room. There were cockroaches, mosquitoes in the room! We are quite disgusted by it. Furthermore, the shower was... More

This hostel has a great reputation but unfortunately we felt it was banking on that and had slipped on some of its service. The place itself is bright and friendly and in a fantastic location near Insa Dong. The rooms are also quite decent but with some wear and tear. For the first night we had a bathroom with a... More
