AREX Hongik univ Unit 201

AREX Hongik univ Unit 201 Overview

You know what caught me off guard about AREX Hongik univ Unit 201? I was expecting just another cramped Seoul apartment rental, but this place actually gets the basics right in ways that matter. The location is honestly perfect if you’re planning to explore the artsy side of the city – you’re literally steps from Hongik University’s buzzing creative district, and I mean you can practically roll out of bed and stumble into some of the best indie galleries and underground music venues in Seoul.

The unit itself is exactly what you’d expect from a 3-star setup, but here’s the thing – it’s clean, functional, and whoever set it up actually thought about what travelers need. The kitchen has real dishes (not paper plates), there’s decent wifi that doesn’t cut out every five minutes, and the bed is surprisingly comfortable for what you’re paying. I’ll be honest, the soundproofing isn’t amazing, so you might hear some street noise from the university area, but honestly? That’s part of the charm. You’re in the heart of where young Seoul happens, and sometimes that means hearing a bit of life outside your window. The bathroom’s compact but well-designed – they managed to fit everything in without making you feel like you’re showering in a closet.

What really sold me on this place was how easy it made exploring the neighborhood. Hongdae’s legendary nightlife scene is right at your doorstep, but during the day you can wander through all these tiny art studios and quirky cafes that tourists usually miss. The subway connections are solid too – Hongik University Station is maybe a three-minute walk, which means you can get anywhere in the city without the usual Seoul transportation headaches. I actually ended up staying an extra night because I kept discovering new spots within walking distance. The owner seems to know the area well and left some genuinely useful local recommendations, not just the obvious tourist traps. For the price point and that 7.9 rating, it delivers exactly what it promises – a comfortable base in one of Seoul’s most vibrant neighborhoods where you can actually experience the city like someone who lives there, not just passes through.

Reviews of AREX Hongik univ Unit 201

• Nara from United States (8/10)

  It is very close to Hongik Univ. Station, so it is convenient for traveling to Hongdae and various places in Seoul. The room is fully equipped, the bed is comfortable, and the bedding is washed every day, so it smells good. Check-in is easy, and the host is always ready to answer questions. I will visit next time I come to Korea. Thank you to the host.

  The location was within 10min walk to Hongik Univ metro station. This was the meeting point for some Klook day tours and direct train to Incheon Intl Airport. There is a washing machine within apartment and dryer within building. Induction cooker, fridge and microwave also available. Supplies like washing powder, toilet paper, bath towels etc are well stocked.
