    Nice location in Hongdae

    The room was too small for 3 persons. No dressing or space to put our luggage so it was complicated to walk in the room with our 3 luggages on the floor. It's OK for short trips with bagpacks but not with big luggage. Also no curtain that block the sun in the morning.

    Flexible check-in and you have the possibility to arrive earlier if the room is available. If not, you can store your luggage there. The place was clean. You can eat and cook in the lobby. Also there is washing machine and dryer. Very nice restaurants and shops in a walking distance (Close to the red road). The staff was nice even though they were barely there.

    It's a bit of a walk from the subway but it's acceptable for the price point

    There's lift at the accomodation, self check in and check out, there's so many CVS and store to buy some food and so much cafe nearby

    Beds war a bit shaky. Bathroom was extremely small. Did not see any staff during the whole stay.

    You could use the laundry machine and the dryer for free. It is located in a quiet area close to Hongdae. Many convenience stores and restaurants in walking distance.

    The van cannot go drive near inside to the hostel, it’s a one way street. It’s only like less than a minute walk in.. should be no problem if the temperature not subzero Celsius. Waiting outside for the transport at 3am in the morning it’s really really cold.

    Very close to CU mart, coffee shops, restaurants, train stations and bus stops. I can heat ,cook the food and sit at the living room and watch tv. Washing machine and dryer also provided.

    None that I can think of.

    Sunnyhill Hostel is very conveniently located (Hongik University Station Exit 2, a way we discovered to be nearer the hostel). There are local restaurants very near Sunnyhil Hostel that are cited as best in their specialties. The kitchen and dining area is nice. Although the hostel does not serve breakfast but there are many stores to buy basic breakfast items and cook it in the hostel's kitchen The overall place is new and clean. Fixtures are nice also. I love their christmas decors also. The owner and staff are very accommodating and helpful.

    I believed they used to free breakfast (toast, egg, coffee) but covid happened and they stopped doing it.

    The room is good for 4 and we were only 3 so it was good. The location is a around 3 blocks or so away from the subway station but its not that bad. I love that we can wash our clothes right away and I went back home with few dirty clothes. Having a lift is one of the major considerations in booking this hostel.

    All selfservices procedure and rule stick at the back of the room door in English and Korean, landlord only came when msg check-in to receive payment.but no briefing of any procedure. Stayed 4days, no clean-up. Toilet trush bin, towels need self changing and trush need to tie up and throw outside the environment protection disposable bin. Dirty towels must bring down to lobby to put it inside used towel plastic bag. Whatever msg to landlord ,answer is "yes",but no action. The landlord who collects my room payment is a Thai couple not the same couple on the Sunny Hill wedsite.

    Location good, HonggkiUni exit2 out,turn left,walk down, cross traffic light turn right, walk straight to DonggyoRu27gil junction turn left then just walk straight down until the sunnyhill address no. Small no thru lane you see opposite. The door outside has 3 lights.a popular live fish stall at the lane entrance. Is a selfservice hostel. Everything have to do yourself incl check-in, change towels, rubbish bins,etc. you can find all items at ground fl. Call or msg landlord on arrival and departure.check-in card can be find at lobby receiption desk

    A bit far from subway station. Heater system is in the floor, so we have to sit on the floor to get warm.

    The location is surrounded by many restaurants, minimarts and coffee shops. Not many crowed like Hongdae but not desolated as well. The small hostel has elevator and washing machine, that's very good points!
