Reviews of Time Travelers Party Hostel In Hongdae

I have written positive reviews on this hostel before. It's my go-to hostel in Seoul since 2024.

I always stay here when visiting Seoul! Conveniently located near Hongdae and Shinchon. The beds and facilities are clear. A great vibe. A good mix of backpackers, digital nomads and tourists. Also, storing luggage is very convenient. And management is very chill.

This is not a hostel, but some kind of madhouse. Guests are noisy until late, drinking, shouting... And the bed linen is so dirty it stinks. I do not recommend it!

Close to the metro, I did meet people in my dorm luckily

Nothing Party about it. Literally the least social hostel I’ve been too. The reception is the ‘common area’ which plays elevator music and no one goes down there. I also think 10% fee for card payments is a bit of a joke. It is advertised but with 10% added there are better places for the same price.

Not too much tbh

The room was small didn’t have a proper lock on it. I had to ask for a lock no towel got woken up to a machinery next door .People slamming doors all night the shared bathroom was next to my room and people were having showers every 5 mins all night slamming the door. People yelling and talking at 4 am in the hall way . The staff felt to me uninviting. I tried to talk they didn’t say anything to me.

This hostel is so bad that I have to book a hotel after my first night here. Dirty and noisy

DREAM TEAM AT THE TTP✨️✨️✨️ From the very first moment I met Maka, Flo, Manon, Lenia, and Maria, I knew I was in the hands of something truly special. Their warmth is not just surface-level friendliness—it’s the kind of genuine, vibrant energy that immediately makes you feel at ease and right at home. Each of them radiates a kindness and sociability that is rare to come by, yet what truly sets them apart is how seamlessly they combine that with sheer professionalism. Maka has a calming presence and an intuitive sense of how to make people feel heard and valued. She exudes grace and carries out her role with a quiet confidence that instantly inspires trust. Flo brings a spark of fun to every interaction—bright, witty, and full of life. Yet behind that joyful energy lies someone who takes their responsibilities seriously and never misses a detail. Manon is a true gem—approachable, always ready to lend a hand, and full of positivity. Her ability to connect with people is unmatched, and she does it all while maintaining a high level of professionalism that never wavers. Lenia is the definition of poise and purpose. She has an eye for excellence and a heart full of compassion. Whether it’s handling a challenge or simply greeting you with her warm smile, Lenia does it with intention and care. Maria ties it all together with a natural charisma and unwavering dedication. She has an exceptional ability to make everyone feel welcome, yet she leads with strength, clarity, and a deep sense of responsibility for her work. Together, they are not just a team—they are a family who uplift everyone around them. They create an atmosphere that is simultaneously inviting and efficient, where you can laugh, relax, and know you're in excellent hands. Their ability to balance friendliness with diligence is truly remarkable. Whether you're a guest, a colleague, or a passerby, interacting with Maka, Flo, Manon, Lenia, and Maria is a five-star experience in itself.

None!

Good location, get what you pay for, social, great staff

No lockers, not the cleanest, no privacy and not enough space or toilets for the amount of guests

The bedroom in the 8(?) person dorm sucked so bad I left early

Had an amazing time here. So many good vibes. I felt so welcome during my stay. The manager was so kind when we went for Korean bbq. Flo and Maka were the best

Nothing factually

It is not a party hostel at all. Once you are inside the facilities its just rooms where you sleep. The common room is at the basement where you have to go outside for that. And there you find the reception/bar/laundry table at one (1 meter) and the common room has bar table in the middle for 4 persons and maybe a few chairs around that table but thats it

Well located but facilities are strict minimum. Very hot water in the shower so that’s good in winter. Main problem: smell mold (common problem everywhere in Séoul) and not the most cleaned hostel. Otherwise it’s decent if you’re on a low budget. Location again is very convinient

Warm, comfortable place to stay. I had strong wifi and hot water for shower. The owner was so kind to me. He showed me several good restaurants near this hostel. I really like local Korean one with Bibimbab and other fried chicken restaurant.

Reception is closed after midnight and open again from 9am.

It is a good place to meet people . Their staff were all kind and helpful. It has perfect location in Hongdae.

Well, okay for me.
