A hostel is very similar to a college dorm. We stayed at The Yellow Submarine in Seoul in a four person room. The Yellow Submarine also had eight person rooms (cheaper) as well as private two person rooms (more expensive). The four person room we stayed in had two bunk beds, a desk, a stool and four smallish lockers with keys. The first night we shared the room with a guy named David that was visiting Seoul during a trip to visit his family in South Korea. The second night we had the room to ourselves. There are also shared bathrooms (again like a dorm). From what I've heard The Yellow Submarine is one of the nicer hostelsl in Seoul (our friend Kim stayed at another one that wasn't as nice. A guy named Henry seemed to "run" the hostel in that he was almost always there and was very helpful when it came to figuring out where we were going.
The hostel also provided bread, peanut butter, jam, eggs, juice, coffee and a few other breakfast basics. Staying there felt a lot like staying in a college house - plenty of interesting people to talk to and someone is almost always awake. Oh! The Yellow Submarine also had wifi and a few computers for anyone to use (I think this is a bit of a luxury as far as hostels go). The total cost for two nights was just over $70USD (about $17/person/night - wicked cheap). We didn't think to take any pictures inside the hostel but here's one from outside:
