Sydnie from United States (9/10)
Very convenient location in hongdae. Far enough from the Main Street that you don’t hear any music at night. Plenty of shopping and cafes within a 3 min walk
Hanna from Canada (8/10)
Incredible location, 6 min walk to Hongdae station and right in Hongdae's main shopping and restaurant area. Even though so close to everything couldn't hear noise at night. The hot plate and pot/pan was so nice to have, also had oil and salt to use. The bed was comfortable and shower/ bathroom situation was pretty good too. Very comfortable for the price. Almost no qualms.
