Gangnam Seven Hostel

I cannot recommend this hostel because of a serious safety incident.

1. Upper bunk guardrail – serious safety hazard
The guardrail detached during both of my stays. During my first stay, it fell onto my leg. During my second stay, it detached while I was climbing into the upper bunk, causing me to fall and suffer injuries that required hospital treatment. No traveler expects to end a vacation in the emergency room because of a hostel bed.

At the time of my stay, the guardrail was not secured with screws and detached during normal use. After the incident, the local district office informed me that the rail was a detachable type secured with screws and cable ties.

What disappointed me most was the lack of responsibility afterward. Rather than acknowledging that a guest had been injured by a failed safety feature, the response focused on explaining the bed. I was left with injuries, medical expenses, and lost travel time from an accident that should have been preventable.

2. Motion-sensor light
The motion-sensor light is overly sensitive. Even someone turning over in bed can activate it, flooding the room with bright light and repeatedly disturbing everyone's sleep.

3. Ventilation and maintenance
Although an air conditioner is installed, guests are not allowed to use it. Poor air circulation traps odors in the small dormitory, and I also noticed visible mold on the ceiling and walls.

I am an avid leisure traveler and have stayed in more than 200 hostels around the world. Despite the good location and value, this was the worst hostel experience I have ever had because of a preventable safety failure, the resulting injuries, and the lack of accountability afterward.

因為是晚上10點以後入住，床鋪是髒的，也找不到任何工作人員幫忙，同住的人員很髒還有異味，忍了3天，想溝通換房間，被告知不允許，並且住了了5天，地板一直沒人打掃，衛生間也沒有人消毒，後來同住人去找工作人吵了一架，才有人打掃。新來的住客費用都比我低三分之一，想不明白為什麼多住幾天價格反而更貴？

I didn't like that the walls were a bit dirty.

Spend few more bucks to get something actual decent. Room are insanely small with no curtains, n fridge was filthy and the people who work there really not accommodating.

I've checked in this hostel multiple times, but the experience is different every time depending on the room I am assigned to. This time, the sink in the bathroom of my room was very clogged (again), and the showerhead was so bad the water pressure coming out was so low and weak, it was really upsetting. I'd rather not shower everytime I'm checking in this hostel. Also the girl that helped me checked in was not that friendly compared to the lady last time.

Cleanliness was incredibly subpar, honestly ruining the entire experience.
