Staff was very friendly, made the check-in easy and frequently saw them present cleaning. The area itself was very tidy and organized, our room was very clean upon arrival. I saw a review about the area veing loud, but it wasnt actually vad at all; especially taking into consideration that everything is walking distance and there are several amazing food ans nightlife options. There are 2 train stations, one 10 minutes away and the other 15 making transportation very easy.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You can tell the owner Alex cares about this place. Taking every precaution to make sure everything is neat and tidy. Excellent spot overall. Cozy room, more than enough amenities around. Alex even showed me around the property and explained how things go in such a short amount of time. Would definitely comeback the next time I'm in Seoul. That is how a guesthouse should be run, period.
