Review: Overall, it is a great place to stay just that the room is slightly small for 2 pax
Positive points: Great location, great staff. Clean and complete room. Great view
Positive points: The staff is super friendly and very helpful. The lounge is very cozy.
Negative points: When I first checked into the room, there is heavy smell of cigarette, the staff explained that it’s the guests stayed before me they smoked inside of the washing room. I found a long hair on my sheet and there are so many hair under the sheet. Obviously when they chang the bed sheet, they don’t remove hair on the mattress. The hotel is located right beside Main Street, it’s very noise even after midnight. Due to the cleanness and the noise from street, I didn’t sleep well,
Review: Place is really clean and is very central for solo travellers
Positive points: Great
Negative points: Nothing
Review: The funniest thing was you have to pay for a full sized towel, which was a bit odd. Other than that the location was super easy to get to by train. Always fun to walk around Hongdae too. The room was on the smaller side so take note, but it was fine for what we needed for. The shower and bathroom were combined, vs having a separate tub/shower area. Overall great for what we needed.
Positive points: Location was really good! You can access Yeonnam-dong through the B1, and Hongdae is just a few minutes walk away. There were also a lot of cafes nearby so it was really enjoyable for a coffee lover like me! The meeting place for the DMZ tour we got was the subway station a few minutes walk away. It’s also connected to the all-stop airport express train (cheapest option to get to and from the airport)nnSpace was small, but it was expected for the price we paid. We just took out everything we needed from our luggage and put it under the bed. nnThey served simple breakfast in the morning and it was quite nice. We love that we can just get water, coffee, tea, or heat some takeaway food at the lounge.nnOverall, our stay was really good. Would recommend to our friends as well
Negative points: Shower room and toilet weren’t separated so the wet and dry areas are all mixed up
Review: 7 mins walk with hostel map,easy to locatesmall common area with nice background music staff is helpful room is small though 2 doublebeds with only one inch in between bed is fine but pillow is rather high aircon is cool and shower is hot value for money !
Positive points: Clean, small but comfy rooms
Negative points: A bit of a walk to the nearest subway

Review: It’s my second time staying here and i highly recommend. away from the bustling side of hongdae yet still very convenient, love the yeonnamdong area for beautiful cafes . will be back!
Positive points: 5-stars all around! We stayed there for 2 weeks and the aesthetic of the rooms and the cleanliness of them and the bathrooms were excellent! No one got bed bugs even though the rooms are cleaned every 2 days. We got fresh towels and the bathroom+shower have hot water...and they have AC! The rooms do not need to be spacious as we were really there to sleep and rest for the next day.rnrnThe staff, especially mr. Billy and the morning staff helped us get transportation to/from the airport. They refreshed the breakfast/lounge area on a daily basis with juice boxes, cereal, milk, coffee and bread. Everything is super clean and they offer free umbrellas that you use and return.rnrnAlso the location of this hotel is incredible. This is in the hub of this university town Hongdae. Being a first time in Korea and clueless of the different areas, this hotel location is not far from the bus stops while still being located in the mini alley-ways with direct access to the cafes and shopping. It is very quiet inside the hotel with views of the street from our rooms. Very thankful that our first experience turned out to be safe and fun.
Negative points: Most of the cafes don't open until 11:30am. So if you're an early riser or haven't adjusted to the time differences, there isn't much to do until the cafes open...but breakfast area at Cleo is restocked/opened at 8:30am!
Review: Nice place and nice staffs. They offer hand warmers and milk as well
Positive points: Small but functional room. The location is excellent. A quick walk from exit 3 in Hongdae. You are surrounded with bars, Izakaya, pubs, restaurants, shops. It really is a great place.
Negative points: Nothing bad to say about Hostel Cleo. It was a pleasant stay.
