Review: location was extremely good and convenient, right next to subway and hongdae shopping stretch. downside was the quality of the room was very poor. my room was the bunk bed room in the basement, so i am unsure if the conditions are the same for the other rooms on higher levels. our room had no ceiling - which was very off putting as you'll be exposed to all the structural components and cement. the toilet was alright, just that the grout wasnt the cleanest and there were quite a few pipe flies. however, staff were friendly and price and location was good, hence if living in such conditions dont matter to you, i would still recommend this place.
Positive points: It is in a good location, easy access. and has a very communicative staff (through texts) although I never saw them. It was cleaned well, but is dated and has some mold stains. I did not smell any bad odors or mold though. I am incredibly sensitive to that, and I was ok. It has incredible water pressure, but could change temp a little with other units using the water.
Negative points: The a/c unit would only dehumidify, not cool. we slept with the window opened, which let in a ton of jarring noises (trash collection in the middle of the night), and anyone walking by could see into the half basement room. I felt safe because of the bars on the windows despite the prison cell vibes.
Review: sangat dekat dgn station hongik univ. deket kemana2. bahkan keluar gang ada salt bread
Positive points: The proximity to shops and restaurants was good. Because it is close to bars, there are some loud noises at night. The ramen store across from it was very delicious.
Negative points: Keep in mind that this is a low budget accommodation so read reviews before booking rather than just looking at photos. The owner tries to respond in a timely manner. Our room had mould.
Review: A unique experience of where everything is self done. It is right in the heart of Hongdae area so super convenient to everything! Outside might seem sketchy but the inside you get a single bedroom to yourself, not disturbed by others. It was a good experience!
Positive points: I liked that I felt safe in the property. Multiple locks to the entrance, floor, and then room. So when I left to eat I knew my belongings were secure. I liked that it was clean and that rules were very easily instructed and understandable. The person who helped me was very nice and helped with any questions I had. Bed was comfy, and shower was nice pressure. I also liked the price for 1 night. Considerably more affordable in comparison to the other hotels in the area.
Review: I stayed at this guesthouse for second times already the room is clean and the best thing is bathroom is bigger than some guesthouse
Positive points: Location of the Hotel was no so far from Hongdae Street
Negative points: The pictures on Booking.com are NOT updated, the location looks old and the colors are not as vibrant. I went with some friends thinking that it was a girlie vibe, but instead we were all scared to stay there. The beds are harder than a rock, the mirror was dirty, the room had a sewage smell, the towels were dirty and the rooms are NOT sound proof. Every time someone comes into their room, you can hear the door and your door vibrate, making you think that someone is trying to open your door. For checkout time, the staff opened the door with only knocking once. Thank God we were dressed and almost ready to go. Highly Not Recommend.
Review: The room was nice and clean. We booked room for 3 persons. Location is really great. We’re enjoyed our stay
Positive points: Good location. Room is clean. Area is safe.
Negative points: None. Amenities are basic but could be improved.
Review: The room comes with its own bathroom, which was surprisingly spacious and bigger than expected. However, the ceiling looked a bit unfinished, and there might be some dust if you're sleeping on the top bunk. That said, for the price, it's a great deal. Check-in and check-out were super easy, and the place is conveniently located near the famous Jayeondo salt bread shop and plenty of other stores—really handy!nn
Positive points: Close to tourist attractions, the beautiful decoration, the location is near tourist attractions, convenient transportation, staff. take good care of us Answer questions quickly, have complete centralized equipment provide fast and good support.
Negative points: I'm just suggesting , You should get a hand-held bidet , This is Thai Style. :)
Review: -Near the Hongik station Exit3 n-Surrounded by restaurantsn-There is a Salt bread in the front.
Positive points: The location and the facilities are great for its price.
Negative points: If there was a lack, their customer service made up for it. Overall it’s a highly recommended stay! Will def go back
Review: Nice place to stay. Near with subway & buses. Easy access to incheon airport. nnBut the minus is toilet no bidet.
Positive points: Location is great and is around 5 minutes walk from Hongik metro station. The beds are comfortable.
Negative points: This place is a guest house and it does not have a lobby/reception and you enter it with a code they give you. If you have any questions or concerns they only give you a WhatsApp number to contact them. Also if you need to check out early and leave your luggage in the guest house you need to leave your luggage in the kitchen area which is an open space and I myself did not feel comfortable leaving my luggage out in the kitchen area but there is a luggage a storage in the hongik Metro station that you can use to store your luggages and is around five minutes walk from the guest house. The twin rooms are very small you can barely fit your luggage in there and if you bring your luggage and if you are two people there is no place for you to walk or even move around.
Review: Close to Hongik station exit 3, in a beautiful & cozy area called Yeonnamdong. Clean room and good price. The staff response quite fast, very kind & helpful. No lift but stair is wide and not difficult to walk. Salted Bread shop just right in front of the place. nI love everything here BUT !!! nOn the 3rd night, someone put the passcode and try to get it to our room! I & my friend were shocked and lucky that we were in the proper dress. The staff gave my room no. & passcode to that person, so she was shocked too. The staff apologized many times for the situation, I understand that error can be happened but I don't ok because it related to security concern.
Positive points: Very accommodating and provides good service. We really had a good stay here since our first day until our last. Will definitely go back here if we ever visit korea again 🫶☺️
Review: We stayed for a short time only but i was amazed to the interior and cleanliness of the room. My favorite part is the pink theme and big mirrors! 💕
Positive points: The location was 10/10. Just off the main road by Hongik univ metro station so it was quiet at night but only a literal 1 minute walk to access to hustle and bustle so it was perfect. nnThe room was small but very adequate for our needs. The beds were comfy, the aircon a much needed reprieve from the heat, and there was even space for a nice vanity table and fridge! nnThe bathroom was very big which I appreciated as with wet rooms, I like the toilets to be far from the shower if possible! nnWe never met any employee face to face but they were very responsive and helpful on kakao talk 😊
Negative points: There are a few steps to go down to get to our room in the basement, which can be a bit of a workout depending on your suitcase but it wasn't a big deal!nnThe common area is quite small and dark (but very clean) so it doesn't make it appealing to have meals there.
