Yue

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The property: very clean including shared bathroom and shower. There is a smell like other reviewers mentioned but it's subtle. Location: convenient but also very noisy. Music lasted basically all night (with earplugs it's acceptable). Check-in: I wish they send instructions earlier so I don't have to stand in front of the entrance and send passport info, but they respond quickly. Summary: I still think it's a great option for a short stay, especially for the price.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
