Patrick from Philippines (10/10)
Location is very very convenient and safe. Its close to most of the stores and street food stalls around Hongdae street. Its walking distance to pickup locations for tours. Literrally walking distance to the subway HongikUniv Stn Exit 1.
The place itself is spacious, esp for a 4 adult guest. Highly recommended. Will probably book it again next time if its available on the next trip date 👍🏻Lisa from Italy (9/10)
the host was extremely nice during the whole stay. we had issues with our suitcases at the airport and when they got delivered to the guesthouse the host brought them to our bedroom cause we were outside at the moment. the host also bought savory and sweet snacks for us for our arrival 🥹 the room was clean and the beds were comfortable!

The guesthouse location is very very convenient. The owner was very helpful. We requested to check-in early around 12pm, the owner gladly help us & let us checked-in early. Room was pretty decent. Another thing that I really love about this guesthouse the bidet. Will probably stay here again for my next trip to seoul.

Great location and very spacious!! They even let us leave our luggage at their office until 5 pm, which is a great help for us! Will definitely stay again!
Karen from Malaysia (10/10)
Location, next to exit 1 of Hongik Univ Station. Airport Limo from Incheon Airport stops right in front. Airport Limo going to Incheon is nearear to exit 2, which is still way better than taking the cheaper AREX All Stop train. To take the AREX train, it requires a super long walk underground. It will be alright if you do not have many luggages.
Unit looks exactly the same as in pictures shown in booking.com. Unit is comfy and functionable. Host provided extra unit of heater as well.
Bed is soft but comfy. Blanket keeps me warm. Very comfy.
It is Hongdae, so food is easily accessible front and back. Same goes for shopping as it is just right across the road.
Host is responsive and very helpful. He even helped me purchase a book before i arrived.
Will definitely stay here again if i visit South Korea in the future.
