  Good enough

  Just like other reviews, the hostel had a strategic location, they serve free breakfast too. If it is your first time in korea and you don't know how to speak with their locals, you better request a copy from the hostel with their address in korean specifically to help the taxi drivers in locating the hostel. This is to avoid what happened to us upon our arrival from the airport, because it was late at night, we had to ride a bus which drops near seoul station instead of myeondong station, from there we had to ride a taxi (with drivers who mostly do not understand english). The 1st taxi we tried do not recognize starria hostel, nor acknowledge the address we are providing based on the email/google map/kakao map (see we tried everything here). Good thing the next taxi had a navigator which translates your voice, we had to say "STARRIA HOSTEL" for five times or even more, before it started to navigate going to our destination. So take time to request a scanned address of the hostel if you plan to ride a taxi going there for the first time. Their reception stays only around 1am or earlier, so make sure you inform them of your arrival time in the hostel. They will send you an email for their instructions and will also leave the room keys in their reception area. Breakfast, all the same everyday for our 5 days and 4 nights of stay, they allow you to cook your own egg, they have bread, butter, berry spread, two types of cereals, juice and coffee in their menu too. Unlike other hostels we've tried, this hostel will charge you for every change of sheets and blankets, don't worry towels are for free if changed but only when they have an available one. Deposits are also required for the room key and adaptor among others. When checking out, they accommodate your luggage in the lobby if you plan to leave them there and pick up when it's your time to go to airport (free of charge). By the way, they have a weighing scale in their lobby, you can use them freely too. And just like any other time, make sure you won't leave anything in your room upon checking out, we left one bottle of lotion in our room and even emailed them that will get them upon our return for our luggage, unfortunately their cleaning lady did not surrender any. Overall it was a good enough stay.

  Great location

  Pros: great location, good price and nice bathroom in the room with good quality shower/hot water. Comfy bed and great blackout blind! The room is a good size for the price, with a silent mini-fridge, and there's a nice eating room and drinks facilities in the basement. Included breakfast was simple but good (toast, cereal and eggs) but a shame that it stops at 9am. Cons: the aircon didn't work which meant the room was very hot - had to sleep with the window fully open which is pretty noisy until around midnight. They provide towels but they are hand-towel sized and are not changed for full duration of stay (4 days). The room was not cleaned/ entered at all in this time so bin wasn't emptied etc. Service was classic Korean: polite but hardly friendly.

  Fantastic Location

  Starria is the ideal place to stay if youre looking for budget accommodation in a great location. Its minutes walk from the subway (line 4), a short walk to Seoul Tower and close to shops, restaurants/bars and bustling night food markets! Rooms are small but compact, with good showers and comfortable beds. The only issue we had were the tiny hand wash size towels provided - not ideal! But staff were friendly and helpful and the location trumps everything else. Idea for small groups of friends or couples.

  Nice location

  Affordable place to stay with brekfast. Comfy bed to sleep. Accessible to subway train, bus stop and for bus tour pick up. There are also 24 hrs convenience store nearby and restaurants if you feel like eating late. Very near to K-Beauty shops.
