A no-frills property, in a great location, that is well run by friendly and accommodating staff. Shared areas are being cleaned regularly and I had no problem spending a few nights there in a solo room and would consider it again for a budget stay.

Aroha is a classic hostel close to Seoul Station. I had a room rather than a dormitory and found it small but quite good. The neighborhood seemed safe. It was quiet and the simple breakfast was adequate for a traveler. The facility is older but well maintained. Internet was excellent. The proprietor, Jay, really cares about his guests and is very hard working. Aroha is located off of a side street and at the end of a short alley. You can see the green Aroha sign from the street. Tip: If you are arriving at Seoul Station, use station exit #12. It will put you on the sidewalk close to a brick walkway which goes up to the street where Aroha is.

Stayed 5 nights. Owner communicates well when you have a question. My room was tiny. There was a table, chair, lamp and a single bed. There was a rack to hang clothes by the foot of the bed, and whats left of the floor space was just enough to open a small-medium suitcase. Location is a 2-3 minute walk to Seoul subway station (Line 4) and 2 stations away and you’re in Myeondong. Maybe 3-4 minutes when going back to the house as its slightly up a slope. 7-eleven is a few steps away. Cleanliness is okay. Steep and low-ceiling steps to go up and down to the kitchen and common room (located in basement). Breakfast was brewed coffee, juice, teas, toasted bread butter and jam. Water dispenser on all floors. Fresh towels available everyday. Overall for the price i paid , its okay- just remember its a guesthouse not a hotel. But verything you need is there. I’m happy with it.

I Can Wash my clothing. It’s not very accesible. I got lost looking for the place. Now I know how to get there that’s why I book it again. At least a sign at the entrance for the people that are new.

There is plenty of coffee but breakfast is just bread and a lot of choices of spread. Clean facility and available fridge and microwave. Available laundry facilities too. Everything is accessible like convenient store, bus, and subway is close by.

They FORGOT our booking and said they are FULL.

Very bad. They did not keep promise. They replied my email before I arrived that I would keep the room. But when I arrived, they said they forgot and they were full and willing to refund. I requested the staff to arrange a room at nearby hostel. NOT recommend tourists to book this hostel. (縱使出發前已在電郵確認會預留房間給我，但到達時卻說忘記了安排！酒店已滿了！毫無誠信可言！又不是特別便宜，千萬別選這旅館！）
