Reviews

• Kang from South Korea (10/10)

  My friend and I loved the location a lot and being able to look down to see people going about their day. The buses were right in view. I really loved how simple it was to get to the subway and buses. The room size was excellent and so spacious. The amenities were useful. I liked the clothing rack that was provided since we had jackets to hang. Overall, I highly recommend because the room was big for a place in Seoul.

• Ny from France (10/10)

  We stayed in different apt in Seoul, then went to Busan, Gyeongju, Jeonju and went back in Seoul in this place and let me tell you, this was our fav spot. The room was really clean and pretty spacious for Seoul (we were 3 pax and felt confortable sharing the room).
  The location is great, you can easily reach every fun and busy streets of Hongdae (green line, metro station is Hongik Uni). I strongly recommend this spot if you want to visit the surroundings.
  Also, there's a bus station just a few mins walk from here that can take you to the airport for 17 K wons which is convenient.

  Location was perfect, close to Hongdae Station Exit 1 and to the main Hongdae streets

• Choi from Hong Kong (8/10)

  Location , travelled friendly facilities, eg washing machine, kitchen utensils.

• Siow from Singapore (8/10)

  Location! Spacious & clean room, would have preferred extra pillows. Air- condition was not in good working order – was not able to adjust the temperature nor the fan speed. Was not a big issue though cause it was spring & we just open up the side window for some cool air. Overall was a very pleasant stay and host was very responsive with enquiries and requests. Will definitely stay again when I am back in Seoul. Thank you
