9.6 Exceptional - olv 02-06-2025

Review: The house is convenient because near the exit station and many shops nearby. No wonder this house always sold out in a blink!

8.0 Nice stay in Seoul - Mikaela 15-06-2025

Positive points: Fantastic location in the heart of Hongdae. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Self check-in was really easy too.

Negative points: The keypad at the front door made a loud alarm sound for 10+ minutes in the middle of the night when we tried to sleep, presumably because the last person to walk in hadn’t shut the door correctly. When we left bed to try to fix it, the alarm kept turning back on. Eventually it stopped after removing the battery for several minutes. Would recommend that management troubleshoot the keypad to make sure this doesn’t happen to others!

8.8 Excellent location - Yin 27-03-2025

Review: The guesthouse had a convenient location. Just a couple of blocks away from the station and the Main Street.nThe facilities are good and the mattress is comfortable. One minor issue is I cannot sit straight in the capsule. But that wasn’t a big deal as a traveler wouldn’t stay in the guesthouse for long.

8.0 Convenient & comfortable accommodation with affordable price - HUNG 14-06-2025

Positive points: In general the property is great. The price is affordable especially at hongdae such a convenient location.

Negative points: shower and toilet are together not separate

8.4 Value for money - See 29-11-2024

Review: Pros: For the value, it’s good place to stay - clean, quiet, surrounded by lots of eateries and shopping. Simple self-made breakfast(toast, cereals) is included strictly from 8.30am to 10.30 am but the coffee machine is available to use 24 hours. Bathroom is clean. I have the wooden partition with blind curtain so good sound absorption.nnCons: Not very near to metro station, about 10 min walk. Staff is working from 10.30 am to 8 pm so you won’t get staff help outside this timing. No lift so not convenient if you have a heavy luggage. Bec it’s a dormitory, luggage space is limited if you want to open and pack.

8.0 location is perfect, one of the best for people who is looking for a place to sleep for a few days - Shuta 08-06-2025

Positive points: Location,easy to check in and out

8.8 Great location for solo traveller. - Yap 20-10-2024

6.0 Paradise for bug-lovers, or those who want somewhere quiet near Hongdae. - Stephane 24-05-2025

Positive points: Good location, relatively quiet, rooftop access is nice.

Negative points: Drain flies all over the shower/bathroom. Truly disgusting to have bugs flying around when trying to shower. Made the bathroom feel very unclean. Not social.

10.0 Nice Place - Kit 30-08-2024

9.0 Clean, friendly host, top location - would book again. - Steffen 21-04-2025

Positive points: Super friendly and helpful host who speaks good English. The whole house is super clean. Simple breakfast (Toast, Cereal, Ramen, Jams) and coffee / tea included. Location is excellent and only a short walk from Hongik University station.

Negative points: At least my room was a bit on the small side and a bit dark.

10.0 Feels Like Home - Ding 29-07-2024

Review: Amazing Stay at Hithere Guesthouse. Had 2 separate bookings and the staff was kind enough to let me check in early

9.0 A lovely, friendly place to stay. - Charlotte 18-04-2025

Positive points: Great location. The host is super friendly, and we were able to store our luggage before and after our stay. The bed was really comfortable! Access to kitchen facilities was appreciated.

Negative points: Not much soundproofing of the doors to the rooms, so if anyone is speaking loudly in the hallway you’ll hear it. No problems once everyone went in their rooms, though.

9.2 Solo Trip - ALVARENGA 29-06-2024

Review: It was my first time at a hostel and I have to say my experience was great. The staff were friendly and helped me know more about the local area and gave me great recommendations to explore. I met great people and everyone was respectful and fun to be around.

10.0 Recommend Place to Stay 💕 - Zesca 15-04-2025

Positive points: Our stay in Korea was made truly exceptional by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of Hithere guesthouse. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly safe and secure, which was so important to us in a new country. The rooms were beautifully cozy, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The owner went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, whether it was providing local recommendations, assisting with transportation, or simply offering a friendly smile. It felt less like staying in a hotel and more like being welcomed into a home. And to top it all off, the convenient free breakfast each morning was a wonderful bonus, setting us up perfectly for our daily adventures. We will definitely be back!

10.0 Exceptional - Praewpan 20-05-2024

Review: Host น่ารักมาก โลเคชั่นดี เดินไม่ไกลจากสถานนีฮงแด ย่านกินเที่ยว ห้องพักอาจจะแคบไปนิดแต่ก็ตามราคาค่ะ ไม่มีผ้าเช็ดตัวผืดใหญ่ให้ มีแต่ผ้าเช็คตัวผืนเล็กคนละ2 ผืน เปลี่ยนให้ทุกวันจ้า

9.0 Convenient and cosy - Daniel 01-04-2025

10.0 good - Thanaporn 01-05-2024

Review: room clean, staff helpful, have little breakfast in the morning. toilet quiet small but overall is very good

10.0 Excellent stay in Hongdae - would definitely revisit!!! - Jessie 31-03-2025

Positive points: Excellent stay in Hongdae! Just steps away from Hongdae street and quick walk from the subway station. The room and facilities were spotless clean. The family room was the perfect size for our family of 4. We had our own private washroom and a very nice kitchen and dining area to share with other guests. There was also daily complimentary breakfast. Daniel, the host, was super welcoming from the moment we arrived and was very responsive to messages. They also stored our luggages after check out. Would definitely stay at Hithere again!
