The best thing about Zaza Backpackers is the location. Located in between Myeongdong and the foot of the Mt. Namsan, Zaza Backpackers provides guests easy access to the best places in Seoul, especially with its proximity to the subway. Add to that the fact that busy, bustling and interesting Myeongdong Shopping Area, the Myeongdong underground stores as well as the... More

The owner and staffs of the hostel were superbly helpful and understanding despite my several times amending my room booking (family - double - double - family ☺) Location is very good. We saved so much time and money going to places. Myeongdong street market is just a stones throw... More

Located in Myeongdong area, Zaza bookers can enjoy a short walk from Seoul's shopping district. The hostel is also near Myeongdong station making every places in Seoul accessible. The... More

Spent 5 nights here during Christmas 2011. It is value for money. Location is excellation, only 5 minutes to Myeong dong MRT and the Myeong dong shopping street is just right across the street. Very easy to find good restaurants. You can also walk up the hill to Namsan Seoul Tower. The room and bath room is quite small but... More

Stayed Feb 17-Feb 19. Great location - walking/easy access to MRT, convenience stores, restaurants, shopping. Free wi-fi, basic amenities. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, cozy rooms and facilities. Featured a shared kitchen area and private basic bathroom. Surrounding area felt safe, even for a solo traveller walking back to room well after dark. Excellent choice, especially for travelers on... More

Stayed here from 23-27 Jan 2012. Excellent place for self planned trip in Seoul. Basic amenities all provided. Located walking distance to subway, Myeondong street, n plenty of convenience store around. Friendly owner. This is definitely the place to be when on a budget trip.
