⭐⭐ 1/2— Great location, but the bathroom is a major issue
We stayed at Nomad Hongdae, Room 704, which is a three-bed room. Overall, I would give our stay around 2.5–3 stars.
📍 Location:
The location is definitely a plus if you want to stay in this part of Seoul. Subway Line 2 is close by, which made getting around the city very convenient. Hongdae is also a fun area with lots of restaurants, shopping, and things to do.
🛏️ The room:
We had three beds, and the room was very cramped, especially around the entrance and bathroom. You open the door and the bathroom is immediately there. Right beside the bathroom is a bed — OMG! There is basically no space between the bathroom and the bed.
The main bedroom area, however, was much better. It was spacious enough for the queen bed and single bed, and we had enough room for our luggage. The downside is that there isn’t much storage, so if you’re traveling with a lot of clothes or luggage, you’ll need to be creative with where you put everything.
🚿 The shower was the biggest disappointment:
The shower was honestly terrible. It is connected to the sink, and you cannot change the direction of the shower head, so you have to hold it while showering.Even worse, the shower is located in the middle of the bathroom with no curtain or separation, so when you shower, the toilet, sink, floor, and basically everything in the bathroom gets wet. If you’re traveling with kids and having a decent, functional shower is important to you, I would not stay.
