I had a great stay at Hostel Gaon Sinchon, with a cozy private room and friendly staff. Breakfast was a nice bonus, but I did find the soundproofing a bit lacking. Overall, I'd say the location and price made up for the minor inconveniences.

The double room I stayed in was decent-sized and the bed was really comfortable. However, I had some trouble with the temperature initially; the room was quite cold at first until we warmed it up. Additionally, having only one accessible power plug was a bit frustrating.

My stay at Hostel Gaon Sinchon was mostly great! The location is super convenient, just a minute from Shinchon station. The staff were so friendly and helpful, but I had a bit of trouble with the heater blowing cold air. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and would totally come back.

The room was pretty nice, definitely had a hotel vibe even if the furnishings were a bit cheap. The bed and pillow felt a tad too firm for my liking, but I loved that there were plenty of towels available.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location was great, easily accessible to the subway, which made getting around the city a breeze. However, I found the breakfast options to be quite limited, and the payment method was inconvenient since they only accepted cash. Overall, I appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms, but there were definitely some areas for improvement.

My stay at Hostel Gaon Sinchon was quite pleasant overall. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to assist me, especially since I struggled with the language. The only downside was that the heater in my room wasn't working properly, leaving me a bit chilly at night.

I had such a great stay at Hostel Gaon Sinchon! The staff were exceptionally helpful, picking me up from the subway and assisting with my luggage, which was a lifesaver since I didn’t speak Korean. The room was clean and surprisingly felt like a hotel despite some budget furnishings. However, the lack of an elevator and a dirty mini fridge were minor drawbacks during my four nights there.
