강남 세븐 호스텔

I havent slept in 24 hours, sleep deprived, sweaty, its super hot outside. And they wont let me check in early. I know they have a bed ready for me. But they wont let me check in early. The Brazilian lady at the front desk isn't so friendly either. She has a stuck up attitude.

The place is in a terrible location too.

唯一的优点就是以地段来说很便宜
一个晚上才台币 300
对晚上很晚才到首尔
不想浪费钱
只是想睡一觉
隔天一早开始行程的人来说还行

没有楼梯
如果柜台有人就要办入住
柜台下班就会变自助入住
会把房卡贴在柜台前面

房间不大
床位没有帘子隐私全无
完全仰赖室友素质

4人房里面有卫浴
没有除湿机所以超级湿

非常不推荐
尤其是女生的话千万别来
房间设备 床铺 ​​是可以的
但是其他地方很破
用餐需要在厨房自己处理
但根本没有洗菜切菜的地方
甚至一条抹布也没有
饮水机没热水
没有任何工作人员
西方人聊天接电话都超大声
同房室友很恶 好像是讲中文的男生
会一直骚扰别人 发出怪声
房东或是任何人都联络不上
柜台已经下班
感觉完全没在管理的监狱旅店
真的很烂
价格是很便宜
但被骚扰可能还要去其他地方住
其实也没多省钱还没算精神赔偿费

Location is quite good. It’s near a train station, convenience stores, and restaurants.

However, the rooms felt damp and moldy. I think they need a dehumidifier and professional staff, instead of just relying on volunteers. The bathroom also had a strong sewage or drainage smell.

I was supposed to have a double room that was already prepaid, but I ended up in a dorm room setup. Somehow the booking got messed up. The upper bunk bed looked like it was missing some bolts. It felt really unstable and made a lot of creaking noises. The automatic light is quite bothersome. The only consolation we got was that the dorm would be just for me and my companion, with no other people joining us.

There’s also no elevator, so be prepared to carry your stuff if you have a lot of luggage.

On our last day, I was dressing up in the room when a staff member knocked and quickly opened the door and came in. I could’ve easily been seen without clothes on.

My friends staying in a separate private room came back to find their window open and their neck pillow missing. I sincerely hope that it was just picked up by mistake.

Overall, I’d say the location is good, but my main concerns here are safety, security, and cleanliness. Maybe it’s one of those “you get what you pay for” places, but it honestly made me uneasy after finding out that staff could just come in and out of rooms anytime. It made me worry about the valuables left inside, especially since my friend’s neck pillow went missing.

If you decide to stay here, I suggest not leaving valuables on your bed like we did. Keep them locked up in your luggage or in the locker. It also helps to take a photo before you leave the room so you can check and compare when you get back. Peace of mind is priceless. My rating would have been higher if we had a safe and secure experience.

不 → 上铺没有插座。另一个客人睡了原本属于我的下铺。附近没有便利店。床会晃动。◯ → 房间很干净。有一个大储物柜。无线网络信号很强。离车站很近。

It’s nice but the room is too congested and you can’t have peace with Bathroom and room lights outdoor sounds etc.,

And if you have some food with you keep it safe because so one stole my food(due to my food conditions I have carried lot of veg food with me everytime, but my whole bag of food was stolen from refrigerator. Thefts are possible in proximity. So I request you to probably avoid this Hotel and the staff they were kinda Careless and not responsible even they had cameras to look on thefts they’re not responsible.

the best hostel i have stayed in so far amazing people very comfortable very clean

IF you are considering this place…DON’T, I’m a frequent world traveler and ONLY 2 times in my ENTIRE life have I ever regretted picking such a place. I chose this place simply on it being close to the Seoul Express Bus Station and some attractions. Also, I chose to stay here for the so called friendly interaction with people. This was my 2nd time trying a hostel in South Korea; The 1st hostel I stayed at is located in Myeongdong and it was lovely.
In my honest opinion and suggestion, do not stay at Gangnam Seven Hostel for the following reasons and actual experience:

1. NO ELEVATOR
2. NO HEATER
3. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE BATHROOM SEWAGE SMELLS THAT WONT LEAVE the private bathroom of the double room. In this case it was room 311.
4. SPOTTY WI-FI
5. RED STAINED AND A LOT OF BLACK HAIR COVERED TOWELS!
6. HARD AS ALL EVILS BED
7. Poor conditions of the walls AND doors. The door knobs itself I had to touch with a glove or a plastic bag.
8. NOT Soundproof
8. Non-friendly, condescending staff, whom did not want to show/tell me on where a kettle was located. And when I asked about the kettle, they stated “ what is that?” Referring to me asking for a kettle again. The blonde female foreigner said “oh yes we have one, but you can use the so water dispenser it has the option of hot water” Context: 3 minutes before approaching the desk of the blonde female foreign attendant, I tried for hot water from the dispenser a couple of times in different ways. It only gave out COLD water. I even tried my bathroom sink in my double room and the water was only warm not even hot. I tell her I’ve already tried the options before approaching you, she then says in a condescending tone “oh you sure you tried the water dispenser that’s right there?” She proceeded to point to it as if I didn’t know where it was and/or lying about my prior attempts. I asked again where the kettle was located. She kept saying try the water dispenser maybe you’re doing it wrong. I asked her just tell or show me where the kettle is. She finally half told me the location of kettle, which is on the fourth floor. Nothing else, just “oh I guess the kettle is on the fourth floor” no exact location so I have to go Ispy for a kettle on the fourth floor. As I was leaving she said “ you should really try the water dispenser”…I get upstairs after searching a few, I located the kettle. I search for a sink on that floor when another staff member, foreigner brunette male with beard, approached me asking if I need help. As I scanned the common area, I noticed no sink so I asked him if there was a sink on this floor. He noticed the kettle in my hand and stated. “ No sink on this floor unfortunately, but we do have a water dispenser that gives hot water on the third floor” I kindly told him that I’ve tried it and it does not work and thank you I’ll just get water from my room and heat it up. He becomes persistent about trying to get me to use the water dispenser and says to follow him and he’ll show me how it works. I told him that I don’t wish to sit through a demonstration for something I know does not work. I head down stairs towards my room for the water, he speaks with the blonde female staff member and grabs my attention to show me where the water dispenser is located (that I’ve already know where it was located for I was in 311) which is right by the dispenser) AND he wanted to show/tell me how to use it. He demonstrated it and noticed NO HOT WATER yet alone WATER came out. I told him that I stated previously I did not want a demonstration for I am not incompetent. I heated up the kettle got the hot water I needed and when I came back to my room I noticed a towel sitting at the bottom of the water dispenser for it appear to be leaking. Apologies for the longest detailed reason for experience.
