Comfortable Traditional Living

“I experienced the Korean room with an ondol floor, which provided a unique sleeping experience. The heated floors kept me warm during the winter, and I found sleeping on the futon to be surprisingly comfortable, almost like a plush carpet. It felt great for my back, and once I got used to it, I preferred it to a traditional bed. This room is perfect for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in traditional Korean living.” view full review

Well-Equipped for Convenience

“The triple room I stayed in came equipped with a fridge, cooker, washing machine, and hot water kettle. It had everything I needed without feeling overcrowded. Though the shared facilities had some cleanliness issues, my room was tidy, and I appreciated the space provided for cooking meals, which made my stay feel more like home.” view full review

Delicious Breakfast Experience

“Breakfast was a highlight of my stay at Pencil Hostel. They served a variety of options like coffee, toast, fruits, and warm creamy soup prepared in front of me. It was good, and I appreciated the effort put into the meals, making mornings enjoyable and setting me up well for my day exploring the city.” view full review

Clean and Functional

“Although the bathroom was small, it was clean and well-maintained. I appreciated the practicality of having a hot shower and a functional sink, which met my needs perfectly. It was a great space for getting ready each day, and I found the compactness to be quite manageable, especially for solo travel.” view full review
