Aroha is a classic hostel close to Seoul Station. I had a room rather than a dormitory and found it small but quite good. The neighborhood seemed safe. It was quiet and the simple breakfast was adequate for a traveler. The facility is older but well maintained. Internet was excellent. The proprietor, Jay, really cares about his guests and is very hard working. Aroha is located off of a side street and at the end of a short alley. You can see the green Aroha sign from the street. Tip: If you are arriving at Seoul Station, use station exit #12. It will put you on the sidewalk close to a brick walkway which goes up to the street where Aroha is.

Stayed 5 nights. Owner communicates well when you have a question. My room was tiny. There was a table, chair, lamp and a single bed. There was a rack to hang clothes by the foot of the bed, and whats left of the floor space was just enough to open a small-medium suitcase. Location is a 2-3 minute walk to Seoul subway station (Line 4) and 2 stations away and youโ€™re in Myeondong. Maybe 3-4 minutes when going back to the house as its slightly up a slope. 7-eleven is a few steps away. Cleanliness is okay. Steep and low-ceiling steps to go up and down to the kitchen and common room (located in basement). Breakfast was brewed coffee, juice, teas, toasted bread butter and jam. Water dispenser on all floors. Fresh towels available everyday. Overall for the price i paid , its okay- just remember its a guesthouse not a hotel. But verything you need is there. Iโ€™m happy with it.
