Very good guest house.

It was clean, good service, very safe with automatic door locks and codes, quiet. Only thing I give a minus, was noise during the night from bars and disco's close by - but all in all a lovely guesthouse for an affordable price.
Hallbera, 6-night trip

Property itself is safe and clean, but staff isn't there much and the area around it is very noisy as it is all bars and party establishments.

Super loud at night, but for the price what can you expect. Have to be a heavy sleeper, and it’ll be perfect if you want to party every night

Just a place to sleep and store your belongings

If you’re thinking about coming to the Hongdae area to venture, shop and just be outside most of the day this isn’t a bad choice. It’s difficult to communicate to the people running the guest house as they don’t respond right away. There was a time where I had to hurry back to the guest house and they had changed the pass code( as they do every Monday) but I wasn’t informed about it and I had 2 more days left in my stay. I only got the notification hours later for the new password. I’ve bumped into other occupants that were stuck outside for an unknown amount of time because they too didn’t receive check-in information on time. Check-in and out process was by yourself, you really just come and go when it’s your time and don’t notify anyone. Space was quite cramped, it can get loud at night since night clubs are right outside but are only a problem on Friday and Saturday nights. It’s not luxurious and it really is just a place to sleep. So if you’re looking for something very comfortable with many amenities and services dont come here. If you just need a place to stay while you explore Seoul and you can live without the bells, whistles and space then this isn’t a bad choice. There is also 3 full flights of stairs before you get to the front door so be warned.

6/10 Good

A few things to point out. We thought we had booked an en-suite with our private room. It was a shower- no toilet, still had to use the communal toilet. The accommodation only had hand towels, no full body towels- I appreciate this is a cultural thing but there was no option given to guests. Yes the streets around the building are noisy- didn’t bother us as much as we were up really early and gone for 15 hours most days and would pass out after the day. There is no elevator so be prepared to carry your bag up a few flights. Room was very small. We didn’t meet any staff members while we were there- a bit odd? Our communication was through what’s app. The booking has guest house- I thought it was like a bed and breakfast but in actual fact it’s a hostel.

It’s a convenience hotel from shop.
Harue, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This guesthouse is located in the middle of several nightclubs that blasted music until 5am. This was not mentioned in the property description and the room was not soundproofed! We booked for three nights but had no choice but to find other accommodation after a sleepless night. Unless you are into clubbing and plan to go to bed at 5am this is not the place for you! The beds are also rock hard!

들어가자마자 침구에서 나는 냄새가 좀 힘들었어요 ㅜㅜ
Jeong yun, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a hostel. When I walked in, the attendant looked me up and down with clear disdain, then immediately berated me to “be quiet” — before I had even said a single word. Apparently, there was a “very important guest” staying there, and regular paying customers like me were treated like a nuisance. It was an incredibly rude and unprofessional way to welcome someone. I will never stay here again, and I strongly advise others to avoid it too.

2/10 Poor

Don’t stay here unless you are fine with music blasting 24/7 and dogs barking all night. I ended up leaving early and only staying 1 out of 3 nights. The bar(?) underneath the hostel has loud music going nonstop (no joke, it did not turn off or quieter at all) and it is located right beside a dog cafe where the dogs are barking constantly. And the bed was hard as a rock. I’m not sure if it is different on weekdays, but in the morning, there was an abundance of trash and throw up on the streets. The only positive aspect of this place was the gentleman at the front desk who was very friendly and helpful.

Very very noisy and this is the worst evenif U like rock&roll. Not firendly to costomer. U r just a coins to the owner not guest. If there is only room here nearby Hongdae, I will take a free & calm sleep in park which is from this 3 min. by walk. Toilet of common is dirty. Oh my god~ is it really an acommodation ?

絶対にやめといた方がいい。 ホテルの前がクラブで夜は寝れない。部屋には耳栓が置いてあり付けて寝てくださいと書いてました。部屋の中は生ゴミの臭いがします。3泊しましたが1日目から違うホテルに変えたいくらいでした。もう絶対に泊まりません。

It’s in the middle of the busiest area of Hongdae. For just one or two nights to pass out after you get wasted then it’s perfect.

比較的に低価格だけど、キレイで必要充分な宿

弘大でのライブに行った際泊まりました。 スタッフの方は親切で親しみ易かったです。 部屋は広くは有りませんが、寝泊まりするには充分でした。 駅からは少し歩きますが、駅までの道は飲食店、雑貨店、衣料店が並んでいて飽きることなく歩けます。 宿の近辺は飲み屋街、クラブ街で夜はうるさいと言えばそうなのですが活気があって自分は寝れない程うるさくは無かったです。 またソウルに行く時は泊まりたいなと思ってます。 バスタオルはないです。シャワーにはシャンプーとボディソープ有ります。 歯ブラシはないです。ドライヤーは部屋に有りました。 部屋のコンセントはSEタイプでした。

隔音較沒那麼好，隔壁關門聲都能聽得見，弘大夜生活太熱鬧，戴上耳塞仍會聽到吵雜的聲音，喜歡寧靜的可能需要考慮一下。

가성비 좋은 숙소였습니다 위치상 시끄러운 건 어쩔수 없었을 것 같고 그 외 그 위치라 원하는 모든 곳을 쉽게 다녔습니다 무료 업글로 편리성을 살펴주었고 라운지의 느낌도 좋았습니다 무엇보다 사장님인지 스탭분인지 친절하셔서 감사했습니다
