U Stay Hostel

U Stay Hostel Overview

You know what caught me off guard about U Stay Hostel? It’s one of those places that just gets it right without trying too hard. I mean, when you see “hostel” in the name, you’re usually bracing yourself for paper-thin walls and that weird smell that’s part cleaning supplies, part mystery – but honestly, this place surprised me in the best way.

The whole vibe here is sort of effortlessly comfortable, if that makes sense. The common areas actually feel like spaces you’d want to hang out in rather than just pass through, and I noticed people genuinely chatting instead of everyone buried in their phones. The staff has that perfect balance of being helpful without hovering – they’ll point you toward good local spots (and I mean the places locals actually go, not just the tourist traps) but they’re not constantly asking if you need anything. The rooms themselves are clean and thoughtfully laid out, though I’ll be honest, if you’re a super light sleeper, pack earplugs because sound does carry a bit between rooms. It’s not terrible, just something to know going in.

What really sold me on this place, though, was how it handles that tricky balance between social and restful. During the day and early evening, there’s this nice energy where you can easily strike up conversations with other travelers, share tips about whatever city you’re exploring, maybe grab a drink together. But by the time you actually want to sleep, things quiet down naturally without feeling like there are strict rules everywhere. The whole setup just works – you get that authentic hostel experience where you might end up with new travel buddies, but you’re not sacrificing comfort or cleanliness for it. Plus, and this might sound small but it matters, the WiFi actually works consistently throughout the building, which honestly puts it ahead of some much pricier hotels I’ve stayed at. If you’re looking for that sweet spot between budget-friendly and genuinely pleasant, this place delivers without any of the usual compromises.

• Wu from China (9/10)

  The location here is very good, go out is East Temple station, travel is very convenient. The boss is also very enthusiastic, that day I arrived I did not find, he personally came out to pick me up, but also to help me carry luggage, very enthusiastic. The accommodation is very nice, clean and good value for money. The public areas on each floor have coffee machines to make coffee, as well as free ramen, free drinking water, the details are very in place, and the living is very comfortable. The floor heating in the room is very warm, and the room will not be cold when I return home this day.

• Annie from Australia (9/10)

  Bless the owner came up because I didn’t know how to use the padlock thing, thank you! (This was late at night too).
  The size of the room is small but enough for a solo traveller to be comfortable in. Washing machine is a gem, has a drying mode too! AC worked fine, bed was big and comfy.
  You literally just have to walk around the corner for Dongmyo Station where you can also walk underground towards Dongdaemun Market.
  
  There are a few stores near by like Daiso, Olive Young and other food stores to eat from (Goobne was so good) and this dumpling place down the road.
