9.6 Perfect Location and Comfortable Stay - Ma 19-06-2025

Review: Dawoo House 2 is located in Hongdae but not in the middle of the busy street. It has nearby restos, convenience stores and it is very near the Hongik University Station, around but if you're bringing luggage, it might be quite a walk. Same as the airport limo bus stop. But it's easily accessible to transportation and the main Hongdae street. Remember that the guesthouse has no elevators so please consider that. It's also okay and no issue if you're just at the 2nd floor. You can also chat with the guesthouse staff/owner through WhatsApp, they are very responsive. They also provide snacks and juice everyday which is very much appreciated. They also have a water dispenser for everyone to use..Overall, we would definitely stay again at Dawoo House 2.

10.0 Exceptional - Skylar 17-04-2025

Positive points: The place was very clean and quite despite being just a short walk from hongdae red street

9.2 A place to sleep - GOH 08-06-2025

Review: Price is good. Location Ok too. 1-2mins walk to Hongdae BBQ area. They even provided breakfast (1 can orange juice, 2 packet snacks). Free water refill.nThe bad thing is, we were assigned level 3 and there is no lift.nIf u have older and independent kids, it would be fine. We(mum and girl) struggle to bring our luggage up and down.nOther than that, no complains.

8.0 Good enough - Omar 01-12-2024

Positive points: Location, the room has enough space, perfect temperature, good WiFi

Negative points: The sandals a in the bathroom are quite dirty and moldy. Would be good to have something to dry the bathroom after taking a shower. You can hear the other room people talk.

8.0 Very good - Pham 27-11-2024

Positive points: Great location.

Negative points: Instructions to find the location was difficult. Would have been fantastic if a link in the naver app or the address in Korean was provided (so I can copy and paste) rather than an image with instructions.

8.0 Good for staying in Hongdae for a short pleasure trip - Dilyara 20-10-2024

Positive points: Very quite and peaceful place despite being located near Hongdae street. Free snacks and big room. Fast check in without staff

10.0 Exceptional - Yi-Lin 11-12-2024

Review: Good for a quick night stay. Location was walking distance to hongdae station. No place to put luggage, have to leave it outside the room near the exit, I don't think there's space to open up a luggage as well. I packed everything into an overnight bag, so didn't have to open my luggage. nnHad the top bunk and it was a little hard to climb up, especially since I came late at night and everyone was sleeping so I couldn't turn on the lights to see where I was going. nnNo reception, they will send you details on how to get into the unit. nnThey place some snacks outside for each bed: a drink, nuts pack and a choco pie.nnOverall a fuss free place if you need a short rest.

10.0 Nice area and Safe - Miriam 26-07-2024

Positive points: The location is in a desirable one. I didn't know that until someone told me, of the Hongkik Univ Station or Hongdae. Shopping, food, metro. bus station all near by.

Negative points: I think their should be an onsite manager, I locked myself out by leaving my phone inside at the door where you take off your outside shoes. I waited a while until the cleaning came and let me get my phone.

7.6 Good location - Mananya 29-11-2024

Review: Nice host, easy to travel near hongdae but baht room wasn't clean that much and the door cannot open easily.

4.0 Incerdibly mediocre, good only for 1-2 days of stay. - Dmitrii 30-06-2024

Positive points: The location was convenient and very close to the subway, in the safe area, very quiet and safe with a convenience store and 24h cafe with a few min of walking. Wifi was working well.

Negative points: This place is aggressively mediocre. In retrospect, I should've trusted photos and reviews less.rnrnI am NOT picky. I stayed in cramped hostels and tiny Tokyo apartments, and they looked like a palace compared to this place.rnrn It's a tiny box with a extremely uncomfortable bed with no amenities. There is no chair to sit, no table to eat the food (aside from the tiny wooden sill, half of which is occupied by a wifi a router), no washer or drier on the premise, no common area of any sorts, nothing, not even the closet (the place you are staying at technically is as a closet). rnBreakfast is a sugary water and a choco-pie. rnThe whole place is a joke, you can pay 20% more and just stay at the nearest L7 with twice as much space and amenities. I would only consider this if I have a 1 day layover, 2 days top.
