Hwagok Station – Two room, Sunshine

Hwagok Station – Two room, Sunshine Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Hwagok Station – Two room, Sunshine? The name actually tells you everything you need to know, but I didn’t realize it until I was standing there with my luggage. It’s literally right by Hwagok Station – and I mean right there, like you can practically roll out of bed and onto the subway platform. That 9.8 rating isn’t some fluke either; this place just gets the basics incredibly right.

The “two room” part is what makes this spot special, honestly. Most places in this price range cram everything into one tiny space, but here you actually get separate areas that feel, well, separate. The main room has this bright, airy feeling (hence the “Sunshine” bit, I’m guessing), with windows that let in way more natural light than I expected. The second room works perfectly as either a bedroom or just a quiet space to decompress after dealing with the city all day. I actually ended up using it as my work area since the wifi was solid and it felt removed from the main living space. The whole setup reminded me of those serviced apartments you pay twice as much for in fancier neighborhoods.

What really impressed me was how thoughtfully everything was arranged – there’s enough storage that you’re not living out of your suitcase, and the little kitchen area has actual counter space to work with. The building itself is pretty typical for the area, nothing fancy from the outside, but inside it’s been updated with care. The soundproofing is better than average too, which matters when you’re this close to transit. I mean, you’ll hear the occasional train, but it’s more of a gentle rumble than anything disruptive. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no bureaucratic nonsense, just quick and efficient. The whole experience felt like staying at a friend’s well-organized apartment rather than a typical budget accommodation. For a 3-star place, it punches way above its weight class, and honestly, that rating makes perfect sense once you’ve spent a night there.
