About

W Hostel

W Hostel sits on the third floor of a building at 523 Gangnam-Daero, in Seoul's Seocho-Gu district. It's a small property — just 16 rooms — but it earns strong scores from guests, particularly for its rooms (8.8) and staff (9.1). The hotel is about a 25-minute walk from Dosan Park, putting it within reach of that green space for those who enjoy a stroll.

The accommodation is straightforward: both the Deluxe Double and Double Room come with city views, a shower, heating, and air conditioning. Guests also have access to a bar/lounge area, and the building is non-smoking throughout. Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:30, so it suits travellers who arrive in the late afternoon or evening.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited room count — Only 16 rooms exist, so availability may be tight, and the property might feel less spacious than larger hotels.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:30 — If you're arriving after 11:30 PM, you'll need to make alternative arrangements; the window starts at 3 PM.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel is pet-free, so you'll have to leave furry companions at home or book elsewhere.
  • Street noise possible near Gangnam-Daero — Located on a main thoroughfare, exterior noise may occasionally filter into rooms, though the property has 24-hour security for peace of mind.

Getting around Seoul

The property sits in Seoul.

Getting around: The hotel sits on Gangnam-Daero, a main road in Seocho-Gu. Dosan Park is about a 25-minute walk away — a reasonable stretch for a stroll, but you may prefer to take a bus or taxi for quicker trips.

Local character: Seocho-Gu is a business and residential district, quieter than the busier parts of Seoul. It offers a more local feel while staying within Gangnam.

The bottom line

W Hostel suits travellers who prioritise clean, comfortable rooms and friendly service over extensive facilities. Its Seocho-Gu location is a calm area of Gangnam, and the short room count keeps things low-key. Just note the late-night check-in limit and pet-free policy.

8.4A reliable city base with strong staff ratings, if you can work with its modest size.
