[ COM,A stay] Hongdea St 5min / 3room Overview

Look, I’ll be honest with you – when I first saw the name [ COM,A stay] Hongdea St 5min / 3room, I thought someone had a typo situation going on. But you know what? This little place actually surprised me in the best way possible. It’s one of those quirky Korean rentals where the charm is in the authenticity, not the polish.

The location is what really sold me on this spot. When they say 5 minutes from Hongdae Street, they’re not kidding around – I mean, I’m talking about a legitimate quick walk to all that buzzing nightlife and street food chaos that makes Seoul so addictive. You can literally hear the energy from the main strip, but it’s far enough back that you’re not dealing with drunk college kids stumbling past your window at 3 AM (trust me, that matters). The three-room setup works perfectly if you’re traveling with friends or family – honestly, it felt more like crashing at a local friend’s place than staying in some sterile hotel room. Each space has its own personality, and while the decor isn’t going to win any design awards, there’s something refreshingly real about it.

What I loved most was how the place captures that authentic Korean residential vibe without trying too hard. The building itself sits in one of those narrow side streets that wind through the neighborhood – you know, the kind where ajummas are hanging laundry and there’s always someone’s grandmother sitting outside people-watching. The check-in process was surprisingly smooth, though you might want to have your translation app ready if your Korean is rusty like mine. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this area (actually, scratch that – it’s pretty much impossible), but the subway connections are solid, so I’d just ditch the car entirely. The rooms stay surprisingly quiet despite being so close to all the action, and I actually slept better here than at some of the fancier places I’ve tried in Gangnam. Sure, it’s got that lived-in feel rather than the pristine hotel experience, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want when you’re trying to really experience a city instead of just passing through it. For the price point and that unbeatable Hongdae proximity, this place delivers exactly what it promises – no frills, but plenty of character and a genuine taste of Seoul neighborhood life.

To book hotel in Seoul during the vibrant cherry blossom season, visitors should make reservations well in advance as the city attracts K-culture enthusiasts and modern travelers from around the world.

  ☺️ Firstly, the location of the apartment is very good, close to the subway station, the house is clean and tidy, and the rooms are large, suitable for multiple people to travel and live in.

• Myoung from United Kingdom (8/10)

  The property is nice and well decorated, great to stay with friends. It located near Hongdae Station so its in a good area with plenty of shops near by. One thing to note is that the shower/bathroom is not within the flat itself but right outside in the landing of the stairwell. The host is very responsive and helpful which made for a good overall experience.

• Celine from Canada (6/10)

  아침은 불포함이라 체크아웃 후에 먹었어요.
  위치는 홍대역에서 무척 가까워요. 다만 언덕을 올라가야 해요.
  
  전체적으로 깨끗하고 식기류가 넉넉했던 게 좋았고,
  거실이 있어서 친구들과 늦은 밤까지 놀기가 좋았습니다.
