Reviews

• Yvette from Netherlands (9/10)

  The number one thing about this guesthouse is the location, if I could give more than 10/10, I would. A big subway station is around the corner, so you can easily go to other stations in Seoul. However, Hongdae itself is really lively and great to be at. There are so many restaurants and bars near the guesthouse, but in the room it is really quiet! The host is also really friendly and helpful. The rooms(bedroom&bathroom) look exactly like the pictures, they are clean and the beds are comfortable. Me and my sister were very happy with our stay here 🙂

  It was very clean in a great location, few minutes walk from the train station and the staff was extremely helpful and easy to contact. I'm very happy with this accommodation.

• Hanh from Australia (9/10)

  Close to exit 3 of Hongdae Station. Cute little home. Very neat and tidy. Owner is easily contactable via Line and let me drop my luggage off before check-in. Note that there's 3 sets of stairs if you have luggage but the owner generously offered to help carry it up. Tonnes of bars, restaurants, cafes, and shopping nearby but the general Hongdae precinct is within walking distance.

• Sai from Hong Kong (8/10)
