Cheap price, great location, pretty clean. The front desk guy was very helpful in getting our luggage up and down the stairs.

Autumn Abkhazia, ​Georgia

Incredible location right in the middle of the club street in Hongdae. The staff is super nice, helpful and friendly. The place itself is clean and has a lot of amenities. The bathrooms and showers are very big and comfortable. Despite being literally across the street from a club, the room was relatively quiet.

Anat Israel

The location was super convenient and even though it was in the middle of nightlife area you couldn’t hear any noise or music from outside! I will stay here again.

Lara United Kingdom

Great place Hopefully they’re still there when I come back to Seoul!

Viayaneh United States of America

Very very good location, walking distance to everywhere around hongdae. The room was very very small but it has a lot of storage space which is cool for people with big bags.

Belenc86 South Korea

The staff were nice, and the facility was clean. I had a four person shared room, and it was comfy. I only stayed for 2 nights, but I didn't have a problem with the noise, or any other problems I thought I might have had sharing a room. :)

Ariah South Korea

The location. The cost for what we got. The staff was nice. Very clean. Again excellent location. Convenient and comfortable bed

Lara South Korea

I liked how I was able to leave my luggage at the luggage area a little longer after checkout. It helped a lot because of how heavy it was.

Jessica South Korea

Located in Hongdae, which is heart of Seoul. And it’s really cheap XD

Jinjoo South Korea

Cheap price including breakfast, cozy room and nice staff. Near sangsu station.
