Reviews

  • Norhaslina from Switzerland (8/10)

    Clean, close to public transportation & lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Also not far from Namsan Tower.

  • Agnes from Philippines (9/10)

    The location is great and easy to find with naver. Close enough to Hongdae and Hongik University train station but far enough that the area is quiet and peaceful at night. There's a bus stop really close, too.

    The kitchenette was complete with all the necessary items we needed to cook a full meal for 5 people, including a rice cooker. Water pressure was great, rooms were cool and had floor heating, needed. Our host was very helpful answering any and all questions we sent!

  • Mette from Denmark (9/10)

    Beliggenheden. Meget centralt men stadig meget roligt.
    Lejligheden var super fin og der var alt hvad man skulle bruge i et køkkenmedhjælper mere. Rent og pænt. Venligt personale man taler med online. Fin tagterrasse. Det var rigtigt fint og kan klart anbefales. Man får meget for pengene.

  • Sunho from South Korea (9/10)

    홍대를 여행하기에도 좋고 홍대입구역이랑 버스 정류장이 가까워서 서울 다니기 좋아요. 객실이 깨끗하고 이불도 매일 세탁을 했는지 향기가 났어요. 요리 해먹기 좋게 집기 류가 구비 되어있더라고요. 이 숙소를 다시 방문 할 꺼예요. 추천합니다
