The hotel's front desk staff were incredibly kind, the room was clean and perfectly sized for a solo traveler. There was a TV, a cute lobby, and even a rooftop, which was just wonderful. The self-service breakfast was enjoyable, and the staff even helped me carry my suitcase down the stairs. Their hospitality was truly outstanding! I definitely want to stay here again!

I stayed here with my friend in a two bed private bathroom and it was great! The air worked well, the room was clean and beds comfortable. It even had a mini fridge. The workers were amazing and friendly. Number 1 is the location! So many yummy places near and convenient metro.

Great place to stay for a week. Lots of great little places and street stalls nearby to eat authentic Korean foods. Hostel Tommy is basically a couple of blocks away from the Jongmyo Shrine and Changdeokgung Palace, a 15-minute walk away from Gwangjang Market, and a leisurely half-hour stroll to Insadong Market and Gyeongbokgung Palace. That’s also where you can see various museums and also walk a bit further to the traditional Bukchon Hanok village. My photos will show how much Hostel Tommy offers (such as free breakfast and a massage chair) for a great price.

It's close to the station, about a 3-minute walk.
It was clean, the staff were friendly, and it was very good.
I would definitely like to use it again.

It's a great place in the center of Seoul. Tommy himself met us when we arrived; he was very nice and kind.
They also let us leave our bags ahead of time. The room had air conditioning, a shower, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay; we really liked it. They also have a shared kitchen if you want to cook your own food, internet access via a computer, and various brochures with city guides. It was clean and cozy.

I had some work to do at the hotel, so I requested a quiet room.
The manager didn't take my request lightly and sent me an email. Upon arriving at the hotel that day and checking in, the manager upgraded my room for free to a quiet room.
Thanks to this, I was able to work quietly and get a good night's sleep.
It was cold, so I turned on the individual heating, and I slept warmly. The boiler in the room was so powerful that I sweated. ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ The hot water was also great, with strong water pressure.
I'll definitely visit again next time I'm in Jongno.
Thank you.

The president and the counter guy are very friendly. Although there is no elevator, they will help carry the luggage.
The location is very good. There are many places to visit nearby. The subway station is also convenient. You can take Lines 1, 3, and 5. It is worth staying.

The location is pretty good, not far from the MRT. The room is very clean, there are no small cockroaches or bugs, because it is stipulated that food cannot be eaten in the room😂
If you want to eat in the social hall, the staff at the counter are very friendly. If you go outside their working hours on the day you go, they will also give you the entrance code so you won't be unable to get in.
