Review: Clean, great location

7.0 It doesn’t match with the score and the owner is not east to communicate - Kai-Tung 25-03-2025

Positive points: Good location and bed

Negative points: It’s not as clean as the score showing. My son kept asking me why book a hotel so dirty. Actually beds and floor are good, but bathrooms and kitchen are not good

10.0 Good location, good price - HOI 15-01-2025

8.8 Great for groups - Hui 14-01-2025

Review: Booked this room for a group of 4 girls. The check in time is 2pm but the room wasn't ready until 3pm. Host didn't respond to my KKT messages until I called him. Overall the stay was great. It's near Hongdae Station Exit 2 and 3. Convenient if you take the Airport Railroad to and fro the Incheon Airport.

10.0 Exceptional - POH 29-12-2024

Positive points: It's like less than 2 min walk from Hongik University Station Exit 2. It's less than 500M from Hongdae Shopping Street. There's lot of amenities surrounding the apartment. The host is very helpful and will answer to any of your enquiries. Highly recommended to all large group travelers.

10.0 Exceptional - Hong 07-01-2025

10.0 Convenient location - Adeline 22-12-2024

Review: Near Honghae shopping street and the subway exit is nearby. Lots of food area.

9.0 Excellent - Martha 22-10-2024

Positive points: The location, beds and host were great. All cleaning supplies and shower supplies provided. The unit was clean. The host was quick to respond. For 10 of the 13 night stay, my 2 young teens were alone bc I was in the hospital for unexpected emergency care. My kids were safe and had all they needed. The location was easy to get anywhere via subway or bus, which my kids quickly and easily figured out how to use. (We do not have a transit system at all where we are from so this was new for them.) Between visits to the hospital, they explored much of Seoul with no issues.

Negative points: Blackout curtains would have been appreciated for both sound and light buffering while sleeping. The bathroom has a bit of a mold issue that regrouting would fix. None of this would have kept us from renting but it would have added stars for comfort of stay.

9.2 Best location - Safiqa 29-11-2024

Review: Near train station and a lot of shops nearby. Room is clean & comfortable. Staff is very helpful. Will stay again.

9.0 Great location, spacious room, will definitely stay again! - Guo 14-08-2024

Positive points: Great location, very close to Hongik University subway exit 2, close to shopping and street food. Spacious room with washing machine makes a great choice for family travel. Highspeed wifi, connect with ease. Kitchen available so if you want to bring food from convenient store/supermarket, it’s not a problem as well.

Negative points: The fridge is not working well during our stay.

8.0 Very good - Natimer 01-05-2024

Positive points: Nice location, accessible to all modes of transportation and places to shop and eat. Also liked having kitchen and laundry facilities.

Negative points: Nothing

9.0 Excellent - Evon 14-11-2023

Positive points: very near to metro station and hongdae shopping street, very convenient to find food and shop, owner was nice and helpful to contact driver for airport shuttle service.

Negative points: we stay for few days and accumulate some waste. need to stay with the wastes for few days unless you throw the food wastage to outside area dustbin. Luckily the whether is cold so no odour and bug.

4.0 I will not recommend this property for the price of $145. - Mei 13-11-2023

Positive points: Location by Hongik university subway is nearby

Negative points: Overall it is an outdated place, especially the bathroom, not nice at all. nThe place only provided hand towels, no bath towel. nThis place is way overpriced, not worth $145 per night.
