Sangbong 2-dong Holidays

My friend and I stayed at this budget-friendly hostel in Dongdaemun, and it offered a great experience overall. The location was quite convenient—a 4-minute walk to the Airport Bus stop and even closer to a subway station, with another station about 8 minutes away. The area had plenty of great food, shopping, and pharmacies nearby, plus a market just across the property. While the entrance is located in an alley and there are a few bars nearby, it was generally quiet and felt safe. Our room was spacious and included a personal fridge, which was a nice bonus! The room was clean, although the building showed its age, which was reflected in some of the room’s features. One thing to note is that the restroom is a wet room, so the toilet, sink, and shower aren’t separated by walls or a door. The basement level had a communal kitchen with breakfast and filtered water, which I really appreciated. Lastly, the staff were fantastic—friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They even allowed us to store our luggage while we traveled to Japan, making our experience that much more comfortable.
