Reviews

• Zapatronikos from Spain (8/10)

  Location. Comfortability. It was great that they helped me deliver my pocket wifi free of charge. Staff replied to my messages pretty quickly.
  Apparently, I also received a room upgrade free of charge.

• Abbey from United Kingdom (7/10)

  Location was excellent and host was really responsive.

• Clarissa from Haiti (8/10)

  The location was ideal especially with connection to airport line and Yeonnam-dong / Hongdae areas. Self-checkin was convenient if you are coming in late hours. You get want you paid for especially given the location.

• Cassandre from France (9/10)

  The location was 10/10. Just off the main road by Hongik univ metro station so it was quiet at night but only a literal 1 minute walk to access to hustle and bustle so it was perfect.
  
  The room was small but very adequate for our needs. The beds were comfy, the aircon a much needed reprieve from the heat, and there was even space for a nice vanity table and fridge!
  
  The bathroom was very big which I appreciated as with wet rooms, I like the toilets to be far from the shower if possible!
  
  We never met any employee face to face but they were very responsive and helpful on kakao talk 😊

• Marra from Philippines (8/10)

  The location is very good. It is close to the station and is close to a park. Also, it is far away from the noisy nightlife of Hongdae (nightlife is located on the other side of the station) There are restaurants, shops, coffee shops, convenient stores and even exchange money changers nearby. We also appreciate the host for being responsive.

• Krittaporn from Thailand (9/10)

  Very well responsive staff, cozy and clean room.

• Sarinya from Thailand (8/10)

  The location was phenomenal as it was very close to several tourist locations such as Hongdae street, and moreover, it is only about a 4-5 minutes walk to Hongik University train station which directly connects to Incheon Airport, allowing you swift travel even with suitcases. The staff was very helpful and responsive on contact and there was a little communal kitchen with several facilities such as a free water dispenser with cold and hot water, a microwave and even an iron. In addition, this accommodation is perfect for people who prefer a little less social interaction face-to-face as everything throughout our stay was handled with quick messages to the owner who responds exceptionally fast.

• Albee from Malaysia (8/10)

  Location is good !! Very close to the subway station.

• Mariana from United Kingdom (9/10)
