I had a pleasant stay there and will surely come to stay there again!

It’s really near to the subway station and the hongdae shopping street

très bon choix pour un séjour à prix abordable dans un quartier attractif

les points forts : - instructions très claires concernant l'accès au batiment - réactivité du personnel en cas de question - propreté - situation géographique : à 2 min de Hongik university station, en plein Hongdae, quartier très vivant - accès à la cuisine commune, à la machine à laver et au sèche linge

Le matelas n'était pas très confortable (creux au milieu donc pour une nuit à deux cela est gênant) La chambre manquait de rangements (étagère, armoire ou poser ses affaires, lampe de chevet)

Nice cozy stay.

Great location. Good value. Easy check in and check out system.

A bit difficult to get to hotel lobby & room with heavy luggage as there's no elevator.

Very good

Uncomplicated self check-in, water, small kitchen, washing machine and dryer available and a simple free breakfast. The rooms and the kitchen was clean. There's also a make up room. Curtains in shared rooms are also a plus, there was also a small light at the bed.

Curtain in the bathroom is really old, sticky and moldy. My bedsheet was coming off everytime I was laying in bed cause it was too small for the really soft mattress.

Dirtiest hostel with the most uncomfortable beds

Breakfast was decent. Eggs, toast, butter, cereals, milk to take from the fridge. Laundry and dryer was 1000 Won and they provide detergent and softener.

The hostel is so dirty. Kitchen surfaces, fridge, table, floor & bin are disgusting. In the bathroom the tiles are dirty, black hair hanging out in the drain for days. Dorm has no daylight and the bed is horrible. Wobbly, squeaky, uncomfortable and small. When I ask them to fix my bed, they ignored me. The "light" in the bed is a joke and there's not even a little shelf to put your belongings.

very convenient !

near to everything! near to the main street, convenience stores and shopping centre. As a girl in her early twenties, Hongdae is the best stay among all places I’ve been. there’s a halal restaurant facing the street dancing where korean and international youngsters always hangout. Can use washing machines & dryer with only 1000w is my favourite thing about this guesthouse + room is spacious. definitely will stay here again!

Great location in Hongdae. And relatively quiet despite this. Staff were really helpful.

Walls are a bit thin.

The place is really well located, one street away from the main hongdae road. The guests are really welcoming and there's always someone to offer help or talk to. I met wonderful people always down to go out. The bed was bigger than expected and the shared facilities are quite clean and spacious. The living room is a place where you feel really comfortable and makes it easy to meet guests. I really felt like I was at home in this guesthouse and felt sad to leave, I would come again! The staff is also really pro active, caring and easy to contact.

In the 6 beds dorm room I stayed at we can hear the music playing from the bar outside until late at night (4AM?) so I can't say it's quiet. Didn't bother my sleep quality but it's something to keep in mind.

the goal was to cram as many women on an apartment floor, and make them feel like it was communal living, not a hostel

it was extremely cheap, and excellent location

this was advertised as a dorm room. it should specify that it’s multiple dorm rooms on one floor. So it’s more like an apartment living situation, with not enough toilets, showers, or staff to clean.

Guesthouse is in a great location. There are tons of nice restaurants and shops nearby. The staff is really kind. Room had heated floor and refrigerator inside. Overall, it was quite comfy.

There was a strong, unpleasant smell from the pipes all the time. Also, the bathroom was quite rusty.

The bedding is incredible, the place is like a little home, it's perfect for a group of friends

There is no storage for your stuff so everyone puts their stuff on the floor which is a bit cumbersome

Overall, good for the price. A bit small, but had everything you need.

1. The location was quite good, with easy access to HongIk University Station (Airport, Line 2, Gyeongui Jungang line), as well as a number of buses. 2. The floor was heated, which could be either a plus or minus as I had to be more careful about what I put on the floor. 3. There were things like towels, toothpaste, toilet paper in the hallway, which provided easy access when I needed more, without having to ask the staff for more each time. 4. The bed was quite big and comfortable. 5. There were a lot of hangers to hang your clothes. There was also a hair drier and extended power bank thing, as well as a fridge in the hallway that you could use.

1. I'm not sure if the room was drier than other hotels or if it was something about the bedsheets/blankets, but... my skin isn't used to the dry winters of Korea and my legs would get super itchy in the evenings. I was a bit confused because I stayed at a different hotel for a night during this period and my legs didn't get itchy where it did here. 2. The water would sort of go cold once in a while when I showered despite being set to hot. 3. I wouldn't say that the room was super super clean - I did see some things that should've been vacuumed on the ground when I first entered. 4. The room is quite small so there is no closet inside the room. Instead, there's an enclosed balcony-type thing that has a clothing rack and hangers. This was slightly inconvenient as it would be cold. Also, the desk was super small... ? 5. You have to be really careful when closing the doors to the outside balcony-type thing. I wasn't entirely sure how to so for a few nights, it wasn't closed properly. So it was cold at night. Also, I don't know if the window at the washroom was closed properly when I first came in. I didn't touch it but it was always a bit cold in the washroom.

Passable

The guest there were really friendly and the staff will pop in to clean up the place daily. The price is good for short stays

It requires a double conformation which is very weird it takes quite sometime for the staff to get back and they won't reveal the pin code/way to address before the second conformation, so even if u were to find your way there u still cannot check-in The bed mattress is quite thin but for the price, it's bearable

Close to Subway station and many cafe n restaurants. Good washing machine n dryer.

I have no issues with the Guesthouse. Only with the other guests . Many of them working at late night and likes to hang out in the middle of night and make noise. Also dont wash their dishes.

amazing, full of warmth and good experiences

the staff was extremely cooperative, it is one of the most comfortable stays ever. The place is fun to be at, there is a facility of doing laundry as well. Breakfast options are few but the kitchen is available for cooking whatever you want. There is an induction stove also available, along with kettle and hot water facility.

I liked everything, Hongdae is a very happening place to stay. The market is v lively at all times and the nightlife is amazing as well
