DON'T BE LURED BY LOW PRICE !!!!! Firstly, health hazardous bedrooms. This place has seriously molded walls surrounding thè bunk beds but the management don't seem to care. Secondly, his place doesn't have a communal kitchen, so you'll be spending a lot of money eating out. You won't be saving money at all. Thirdly, there's no laundry room here. Extra money also goes out the window for your weekly laundromat trip. The bottom line is that if you plan on staying in Seoul for more than a couple of days, I strongly recommend other available lodging facilities in the same area. I found so many better places through new apps I didn't know about( used Play Store), after I came to Korea. Of course, it was too late for me to cancel my reservation here then... I've wasted my good money and sacrificed my well being during my stay here. I would never come back to this one.

Staff lied that laundry is available when it isn’t. They never take out the trash or change bedsheets/pillow cases even when new customers check in. Do yourself a favour and stay away from this hostel. The staff is rude and ignores you.

Good option if on budget

Stayed in the private double bed room with private bathroom. Not bad if you are traveling on budget. Only gave 4 stars because room is not soundproof as advertised. It is a quiet hostel though so noise isn’t a major issue.

Well organized and run property... low cost private room with bathroom. Plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby for whatever you need. Free water and coffee (instant single serve coffee, obviously not fit connoisseurs).

There are plenty of bus and subway connections nearby, but to get anywhere north of the river (which is where most tourist attractions are found) it's about a 30-45 minute public transit ride. Not bad at all, but it is the tradeoff for the low cost private room. The only private rooms north of the the river at the same price point were very poorly rated.

Luckily public transit in Korea is very cheap and hyper efficient. And no matter where you stay in Seoul you'll end up needing to take transit anyways so the only downside to staying at Gangnam Seven is saving ~30 minutes per day total in commute time. The upside is you save a bunch of money for a very clean and functional room in a well maintained hotel.

The girl Milena whos in charge is very welcoming and very helpful plus the rest of the staff.
Really good location near the centre of Seoul and very close to Naebang Subway Station. Free coffee till you drop to start the day. Beds were comfortable and clean. Strongly recommended especially for the price.

Seven Hostel is the name posted in the building. 3 mins walk to Naebang Station. The poperty is clean but the rooms and beds are relatively small but you can go around it. Bunks are made of metal posts so they wiggle if you move. I would stay again if there is a chance.

No sign on building with the name of the hostel. It’s on the 3rd floor. No internet when I was there. Still being renovated. The bed was hard . The guy that checked me in was friendly. Area has lots of restaurants. A little far from the city center but ok for the price

독립 침대가 있는 방의 경우, 벽지가 훼손되고 부식이 된 부분이 있었다.
특히 비가 많은 여름철에는 위생이 다소 우려된다.

I really liked this simple and stylish-yet-spartan small hotel.
I stayed in a private room, which managed to feel comfortable regardless of the small size; I'd even say that the size made it feel cozy.
The overall feeling was one of calm, especially in the evening, and it was combined with inexpensive but sharp decoration.
The common areas were good and the staff looked friendly.

Not a bad choice for budget travel. However they need to clean up the walls -- in the hot and humid summer days of Seoul they can quickly get rotten and smelly.
