    For me and my friend everything was great! But if you have large bags there is not a lot of floor space so that is something to be aware of. We had just enough room with our carry-on size bags.

    Awesome location. Super clean and comfortable. My friend accidentally left her purse with passport on the arex express train and the girl at the front desk went above and beyond to help us call the lost and found and get it back. She was awesome! Overall a great stay.

    The rooms are small, and the metal bunk beds are a bit noisy. Careful: there are only two rooms to share for solo travellers (one male, one female). You may not meet many people. Book in advance!

    Location is ideal, in a calm street of Hongdae, 7mins from the subway station. Daniel is very welcoming, and the staff was very polite. He was available rapidly on Kakao. The common kitchen and rooftops are really top. The room was very clean, it is a super good value. I met solo travellers just like me.

    Incredibly loud late at night. The kitchen curfew is not really followed.

    The guesthouse property is so beautiful. The rooftop was definitely my favourite. Common areas including the kitchen are so clean and all guests maintain the same. Everyone is really nice and courteous to each other. Daniel and his staff were all incredibly helpful. The location of the guesthouse is great. Bus and train stations are within 8-9 minutes walking distance. Please keep the same in mind while travelling with luggage. Also, the check-in timing is around 3pm. However, we were able to leave our bags with Daniel and his staff which was convenient.

    There wasn't anything to dislike about our stay, but as with any hostel, there might be noise in the evening from people socializing and having fun (we had a room close to the kitchen). It's helpful to be aware of this possibility and bring earplugs if needed. However, it didn't significantly affect our enjoyment of the stay.

    This hostel is situated in a fantastic location and offers a nice breakfast where guests gather around a large table, encouraging interaction, which is particularly enjoyable for solo travelers. Overall, we had a pleasant stay.

    The house can be really noisy some nights, because some guests do not respect quiety rules. One night during our stay, a guy had a work meeting up to 1:00am, speaking loudly in the kitchen with his headset... The same night, two ladies came in the kitchen at 5:00am, speaking loudly and having breakfast, using the coffee machine (which is allowed only from 8:00am). As I complained, they did not even appologized and continued to talk... We could have stand this type of behaviour if we were only with adults, but we were travelling with children, who could not sleep due to these people...

    Great location, in the heart of Hongdae. Easy access with codes for building and room. Lovely hosts. Simple breakfast, but the kitchen facilities allow to bring some more food. Spacious and comfortable room, perfectly cleaned, with towels changed every day. 7 minutes walk from Hongik metro station, which is great for visiting Seoul, and access to AREX to reach airports (both Incheon and Gimpo).

    The toilet/shower was on a separate space inside the room, so sometimes it could get noisy from latecomers

    Location of the hostel was very nice, both quiet and lively, depending on the street and hour. The closest metro station was about 7' walk. Breakfast options were not plenty but quality was excellent and everything was tasty. Towel, toothbrush/paste and slippers were provided. Last and most important Daniel and the staff were super kind and helpful, definitely recommend the Thursday evening out at a local restaurant

    The bathroom in our private double room was tiny, but to be fair this is to be expected and we knew about it beforehand!

    Truly superb location: literally around the corner from all the activity and amenities that Hongdae has to offer - yet calm and quiet. Very friendly host and his team, and a pleasant and modern interior which felt very clean and well maintained. Plus a lovely rooftop terrace which we used a couple of times to grab a quick bite.

    I wasn't sent the hostel passcode in advance of my trip, despite giving notice that I would be arriving between 10-11 pm when I made the booking. Everything got sorted, but not before a couple of slightly-panicked calls on dodgy cell service.

    It was very tight in the female dorm, very hard to open your luggage. The bed wasn’t very sturdy as well, you can feel the movement everytime your roomate moves. But all good, I slept fine☺️

    Love that it is so close to Hongik Uni Train station, and so many food/shopping nearby. Love the staff, very friendly and welcoming! Love that they offer laundry and they clean everyday! Definitely will stay again when I’m back in Seoul.

    The dorms are super small. I am 1.75cm and I think I would get back problems if I stayed here for more than 5 days. Take that into account if you’re also a bit taller.

    I could not have imagined a better location for a first time in Seoul. Super cool and comfortable place.
