9.0 Great value, location and hospitable host - Anna 25-05-2025

Positive points: The Host ( Peter ), was very hospitable, helpful and accommodating. The laundry area and kitchen were very convenient. Location was excellent with easy walking distance to Mangwon station and market.

10.0 Superb location. Best host - Sigrid 22-06-2025

Review: Peter was sooo accommodating he even helped me find my lost purse in the station. Location is literally in front of a bus stop, a bank to withdraw cash, and not even a minute of walk from Mangwon station. I also loved that the neighborhood is peaceful yet you can find lots of restaurants plus Mangwon market is so near!

10.0 Exceptional - Sofia 20-05-2025

Positive points: The location was perfect, and Peter was so accommodating. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay!

10.0 Worth it! - Carmelina 18-06-2025

Review: This place is just 5 minutes away from Mangwon Subway station. Near Hongdae and Mangwon Han River Park. We are group of 4 pax and booked 2 rooms. The rooms are bigger than expected. The washing machine and dryer are free to use. Just feels like 2nd home. I've been to Korea several times but we enjoyed staying here. It's homey and laidback compared to the accommodation in Myeongdong area. It's also near Mangwon market, better than crowded Gwangjang Market. I should have booked our entire trip here. Last but not the least, the people here are so nice, especially Peter. He provided recommendations and also helped us with restaurant reservation. Ahjumma is so welcoming too. I'll book this again on our next trip.

10.0 It was perfect place close to the busiest street in the city (Hongdae) - Piotr 19-05-2025

Positive points: In fact you can treat this place as your personall apartment in the city.

9.6 Super love the location! - Carla 16-06-2025

Review: Initially we thought its super near the hongdae night market but its a 15-20 mins walk. The area is quiet which we loved! Peter the receptionist assisted us with everything. He sent food recos which really are good food! The area is near mangwon station which is so easy to navigate! We would love to go back! 🤍

9.0 Excellent - Niki 19-05-2025

Positive points: Great location, Mangwon station is a 5 minute walk away, where you can then hop on a metro and get anywhere in the city. The popular neighborhood Hongdae, is a 15 minute walk away, making you quite central but not so close that the crowds and noise become an issue. rnrnThe shared kitchen space with washing machines (and included detergent for guests) was a useful facility, perfect for late night mukbangs with your friends as well. Although this location may seem like a hotel at first sight, in reality it is more of a hostel/guest house. That is not necessarily a positive or a negative, just something to keep in mind. rnrnOverall, this location is a great value for your money. rnrnThe greatest thing about this location was the warm, helpful and lovely hosts, who truly went out of their way to give you a comfortable stay. Shoutout to Peter!

Negative points: There were stains on the beddings, however the rooms were mostly clean otherwise.

10.0 Super friendly staff! - Melanie 10-06-2025

Review: If you are a solo traveler looking for a single room that is cost efficient yet worth your money, I totally recommend this hostel! I didn’t want to stay at share houses, so this was perfect for me. Lovely staff too :)

10.0 Exceptional - Poulsen 13-05-2025

10.0 Exceptional - Leonard 02-03-2025

Positive points: Peter was an absolutely amazing host. The nicest guy in Seoul. The hotel is located in a very convenient location, a short walk to the river side and Hongdae street. I would recommend everyone to stay here!

8.8 Enough for a place to sleep in - Carla 03-06-2025

9.0 Great place to stay! - Hannah 02-01-2025

Positive points: Loved that the staff were super friendly and helpful. The place was near the market where you are able to eat local, good, and cheap K-food. Very convenient to cafes, pharmacies, and the train station and bus stops! nLaundry was free too.

Negative points: The bed was a little hard to sleep on so it wasn’t so comfortable, other than that nothing else.
