Really well located, in Myeongdong, the staff is very nice and welcoming, and I often finished working earlier than expected so I had a lot of free time :)

I highly recommend volunteering at ARA Hostel! The tasks are clearly described , and hours well respected ,it's basically housekeeping, which leaves you with plenty of free time to explore and enjoy the city. The staff is super friendly and always helpful. accommodation isn't very big but if you get along with your roommate, it works just fine as you only share with other person. The location is also perfect close to everything you might need. And hostel has 2 kitchen that you can use too. Thank you so much, Yun! I really enjoyed the past month and I'm grateful for the experience.

Ara hostel is a really wonderful place ! The manager is really nice, adaptable and explain everything when it's necessary. I liked that the schedules are fixed in advance and do not change every week. The hostel is well located, the colleagues were so nice too ! The work load is good and vary everyday. The shared room is good, a bit small, but it's really correct, you can stay in the common part also. My roommate was amazing so no problem for me :) I do totally recommend ! Thank you so much for your welcome !

Staying at the hostel was a wonderful experience! The team was super welcoming and it was a pleasure to work with everyone. The work itself is straight forward: making beds, cleaning guest rooms, bathrooms and common areas. Previous experience is not needed, everything will get explained well. Accommodation is a small room with one bunk bed, no sunlight. When shared with another volunteer, you really need to mange the little space as best as possible. Lucky, I had a fantastic roommate. That was a big win :) Definitely recommend. Thanks for everything \(^.^)/
