10.0 Excellent location - Hliva 16-03-2025

Positive points: Excellent location. A few minutes walk from Hongik metro station. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Shared common area of kitchen with water station and dining table. We can store our luggage after check out.

8.0 Nice place for group travelers - Jia 22-05-2025

Review: Is a good place for group of friends to stay. Bunk bed, sofa bed, double bed provided. However, there is only one washroom so need queue for bath. BTW, great excellent for ppl wanted to shop long in Hongdae.

8.0 It was amazing overall. - Deki 01-03-2025

Positive points: Everything was systematic so it was nice to check in. The place was clean. The location is amazing right in the center of everywhere.

Negative points: Check in time is quite late. It’s not the fault of the staffs but even though it’s written to be quiet after 11pm, I could hear people coming in and going out with loud noises. The walls are very thin hence everything is audible. It would be nice to have water bottles inside the room. I asked for a single room with private bathroom just to find the bathroom outside the room separately. Would have been nice to have it inside the room .

10.0 Value for money and superb location - Mary 09-05-2025

Review: I have booked again on this property because me and family were satisfied with our stay.

10.0 Cozy guesthouse with seamless checkin/checkout - Jeremy 17-01-2025

Positive points: Location was very convenient, only a couple of short blocks outside of the Hongik University Station (AREX and Metro), and communication with the hosts was very smooth. We unfortunately did not get a chance to meet them but they were very helpful in clarifying policies + what they needed from us (as we were checking out very early the next day to catch an early flight). Messaging via booking.com was very prompt and helpful, especially in explaining the contactless checkin process, and alternate contacts (e.g. LINE and WhatsApp) were also provided in case those were more convenient. Although we didn't get a lot of time to explore Seoul / see the room, the temperature control was very good especially on a night where windchill had temperatures feeling like -12C and we have no complaints regarding the facilities.rnrnPeople who are *very* sensitive to noise and prioritize that when booking may want to be aware that your experience may depend on who is staying in other rooms - house policies obviously note that there are quiet hours, and all guests were respectful of that during our stay! (We did not hear any street noise, either.) However, it does feel like a space that was originally a home/apartment and you might hear a stray noise from other guests from time to time.

Negative points: No complaints! People who are not used to shared shower/bathroom spaces may want to be mindful of moving the trash can out of the bathroom before showering so that the can doesn't accumulate water.

6.8 Good - Eleanor 17-03-2025

Review: Very simple room , not much amenities. Close by to metro station and food options. Popular salt bread is just by the entrance of the guesthouse (outlet has not much queue)nnGood to have water dispenser to refill water and make tea.nnOnly cons is bad soundproofing , if other guests are noisy in the living room it will affect your sleep.
