10.0 Clean, comfortable and convenient - Eunice 20-05-2025

Review: The hotel is up a slight slope, but very close to the station. Staff were kind and spoke English. The room was spacious, well-maintained and clean. Would stay here again.

8.0 Very good - Khaoula 02-05-2025

Positive points: Very close to the subway station and friendly staff!

8.0 Great place to stay - Lai 16-05-2025

Review: The location is fantastic with easy walkability to nearby attractions, a few mins walk to Sinchon station and airport bus stop. The amenities provided are solid, ensuring a comfortable experience, while the hot water was consistently reliable and the cleanliness of the property was commendable. The staff were friendly, making the overall stay enjoyable despite minor hiccups that could be improved upon.

8.0 Very good - Sharon 02-05-2025

Positive points: Staff were really friendly. Hotel was centrally located, right by a metro station in a well connected metro line. I loved having a bathtub in my room. It was quiet at night.

Negative points: The way the room was set up meant that when all lights were off there was this red light in the light switch, also on the AC unit, which meant it was never totally dark. I had to use a sleep mask (I'm quite sensitive to light). Maybe another shelf to put clothes would have been good?

7.2 Location is good - Soh 14-05-2025

Review: Location is great. Don't expect so much for the price you are paying. is a motel for you to rest after shopping for whole day.

10.0 Strongly suggested hotel in hongdae area - Antonio 01-05-2025

Positive points: I was there for a conference. Room small but with all the benefits needed. Staff always ready to help and very accommodating. We made a few requests (printing some documents and moving our luggage to another room) and none of it was a problem. If you need accommodation near Yonsei University or the Hongdae area, this place is fantastic. It's easy to reach via subway line 2 and there are several buses nearby that go directly to the central train station.

8.8 Excellent - HENG 13-05-2025

Review: 地點非常的優勢,坐機場巴士到現代百貨新村站下車,步行約五分鐘即到(就在對面巷內),地鐵四號出口更是步行三分鐘上兩個斜坡就到,前台每位小哥哥小姐姐都非常親切並盡責的幫忙解決所有問題,但並非中文交談哦,是用翻譯軟體或是英文交談,唯一要提的是硬體的部份屬實為(很基本)若單看硬體部份性價比不是很高,但清潔度沒問題,隔音也很好,還是推薦的

10.0 Wonderful stay at Firststay! Skip the busier Myeongdong area and come to Sinchon instead. Come to Firststay! - Princess 21-04-2025

Positive points: Very nice staff, responsive to emails. Simple and clean. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Quiet as you don't hear people in hallways at night. Very close to Sinchon subway station, shops and restaurants.

Negative points: I wish breakfast was included. Just simple bread/pastry will do. Nothing fancy. Guest can probably just ask the staff if they're worried that people will just grab more than what they can eat. There's a hot and cold water dispenser in the lobby with coffee sticks and tea, but early in the morning before we leave they run out of coffee sticks and staff don't come in til 8:00 AM.

9.6 體驗好好 - Lois 05-05-2025

Review: 酒店好近地鐵站,職員有禮貌,房間大,夠位開到兩個大行李,有機會再去韓國嘅話都會再預約👍🏻

9.0 Convenient location. Outdoor bath was the highlight. - Alexandra 16-04-2025

Positive points: The location was very close to the subway and many shops/restaurants. We booked the room with the outdoor bath which was great for soaking in after a long day of walking. The room did feel a bit dated and there were a couple small steps which felt like a tripping hazard, especially when going to use the bathroom at night.

10.0 Very recommended, close to everything and a great staff - Noa 11-04-2025

Positive points: The place is amazing! Great location (close to Sinchon station) comfortable room, wonderful friendly staff, close to convenient stores, restaurants, main street with many bus lines and shops.

9.6 友善的服務人員 - min 28-04-2025

Review: 服務人員都很友善且樂於助人,飯店大廳的草本茶包 & 飲水機都很方便。nn唯一需要住的的是浴室比較不容易乾燥,n洗澡時部分的水會留到房間邊緣。

8.0 Friendly, accommodating staff, excellent water heater, free wall adapter. Confusing location. - Zachary 10-04-2025

Positive points: The staff were friendly and accommodating. The shower/bath water was very hot, which was really nice because it was frigid cold outside. But be careful if you have kids because in 2 seconds the water will be boiling. But that's a good thing. I didn't know that wall outlets in Korea were different so my charger wouldn't plug into the wall- and the front desk staff gave me an adapter for free.

Negative points: It was hard to find on the map. For some reason other first stay hotels were easy to spot on the map in different locations, but the hongdae wasn't on the map. I had to type in the address or set a pin on the map when ubering.

10.0 Great - Tyler 25-04-2025

Review: We had a great stay here, nothing to complain about! The staff were all great, but in particular, Min was very friendly!

9.0 Fun and comforting - Victoria 09-04-2025

Positive points: The staff were really nice and so so helpful! The location was perfect and was right by the station. There was a smell here and there that was a bit unpleasant but overall I loved the stay and would come back again

9.2 Definitely recommended - Sin 24-04-2025

Review: It was a pleasant and comfortable stay. All the staff at the reception were kind and provided attentive service. I especially appreciate the help from Min and Yuri. Thank you very much.

10.0 Great spot has everything you need and the station isn’t far away - Jonathan 29-03-2025

Positive points: The area was great and the employees were very warm to me I recommend
