Positive points: Great communication
Negative points: No
Review: It was fair enough
Positive points: Great location, right near Hongdae street. The staff even understand English and can speak English. I had a Korean roommate that day. It was a perfect stay for just one day
Negative points: The guesthouse is situated on the 5th floor, so I had to carry my luggage upstairs. It was quite a hassle. Apart from that, everything was cool
Positive points: Great place
Positive points: Location. Well equipped facility. Good conditioning.
Negative points: My wife and I both have allergies to dust . The air in the room felt very dusty. Maybe because of old matters. nWe slept on a double bunk bed .Bottom Matters gave me back pain, and allergy was worse 🤧 sleeping at the bottom. The top bed was quite alright.nOur room was connected to the washing machine room so to get there the owner had to pass through our room which was very uncomfortable. He did use the window to get there instead a few times, so we appreciate that at least.
Positive points: Location
Negative points: The electronic lock of the main entrance door is unstable. Sometimes the door opens, sometimes it doesn't. I and other clients waited 20-30 minutes for the manager to open the door for us. The next day there was the same problem. If you encounter this problem at night, you will most likely have to sleep outside. The manager does not understand why this is happening and says that the lock was recently changed and that it should work :) It is very unclean here and the main mess is created by the manager himself, he does not clean up after himself - he can easily leave the table in the kitchen splattered with food. I rated this hostel one point because of such a useless manager. This is definitely the worst guest house I've ever experienced in my life. If you want to try fake lux, you are welcome :)
Review: 정말 형편없어! 5층에 있어서, 매우 불편해! 이 가게는, 짐을 보낼 수도 없어, 태도가 나빠! 피뢰!
Positive points: Good price for the location
Negative points: Bathroom a bit dirty
Review: Rooms and the apartment were nothinf like in the pictures. Whole space was dirty. This is not an airbnb house it was under the hostel category and it wasn’t even close to be a hostel. There was no staff. We couldn’t use the bathroom because it was super dirty.
Positive points: Location
Negative points: Not clean- not comfortable
Review: I slept here for one night and it was one night too much. The staff wasn't present when I arrived. On the door it said you had to open the frontdoor by a code. The system didn't work, you could just open the front door. Nothing was secure or safe about that. The bathrooms were moldy and unfinished. In the bigger bathroom was even a broken outlet. Very dangerous and irresponsible. The kitchen was very dirty and unpleasant. For the beds very thin matras and you got a duvet WITHOUT a cover. The matras and the pillow had covers on, luckily. Don't go there. It's not worth your money.
Positive points: Cheapest & Clean
Negative points: Staff looks confusing
Review: Bathroom and living space kind of dirty and cluttered. There were people's hairs all over the bathroom. It's located on the 6th floor and there is no elevator so you need to carry your bags up all those flights. Not very close to the center of Hongdae either.
Positive points: It’s so nice location
Negative points: It’s not a clean everything was so bad. Everything have a sound door and bed.
Positive points: Amenities complete
