Modesta from Indonesia (8/10)
Strategic location, walking distance to Hongik Univ Station Line 2 (exit 1), Hongdae main area, and Airport Bus Stop. Clean, comfy and well equipped, the host also very fast in response & accommodate our needs. Recommended for small family or group of friends to stay at Serein ☺️
Sora from United Arab Emirates (9/10)
I would say that almost everything met our expectations, from the booking process and responsive communication with the host to the location near Hongdae Street Market and Hongik University Station. The room was comfortable and very tidy, and the hot and cold drinking water facility was especially useful to us.
