    Things to improve is the water heater on the kitchen (3rd floor was not working)

    Comfortable bed. Staff was eagerly to help your needs. Affordable guesthouse for families and great location. Our breakfast was free. ❤️ Thank you Family House Hongdae till next time..

    A very good value for money
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 5 nights

    -the rooms are not that big so if you have a big suitcase it might be difficult to make space for it(especially if the room is full and everyone has big suitcases) -the bathroom can get quite messy because of other guests (especially since the toilet and shower are in the same space as most Korean houses, the water gets everywhere)

    -very good location(you can get to the Hogik University Station in less than 10 minutes and you have a lot of restaurants, cafes, convenience store around) -the bed was comfortable -the free breakfast was a nice addition (TIP: the eggs you might see in some pictures are raw so you need to cook the eggs yourself) -the kitchen is well equipped and you have everything you might need(coffee, tea, water dispenser, etc) -the staff was very friendly and helpful -you have a locker - you can use the umbrellas from the hostel if it's raining and you forgot to bring one

    Just one minor point, it will be perfect if no smell in toilet, but it's acceptable

    The location is good, 5 mins walk from hongdae exit 3 The staffs are super nice, helped to carry luggage to the room Reception manager has provided many support by kaokao message Have 2 kitchen ,one is on 3th floor and near our room, no need to go down for laundry and breakfast which is unexpected good. The dishes and pots are clean and enough for cooking. The room is with fair size, enough for 2 ppl with big luggage. recommend for traveler who plan to live in HongDae

    my first night was not really good. the weather was very cold but the heater are not really working. my mom freezing that night, and i asked to change room but they didnt tell me it was full. they just reply that guest before us was okay. when i keep asking staff for help, they asked me to leave and move out to another guesthouse (which it was midnight and my mom freezing but they chase us while its very cold outside?). but tomorrow morning they called someone to repair. they were all nice but i dunno, that first night was not really good. but i do think other part is okayyy. overall it was okayy!

    affordable and comfortable. really near hongik station make it walkable to go anywhere. easy to commute by subway. and near to many attraction places.

    I didn't like the pillows, they were very uncomfortable, i think they were inflated. It can be a bit loud in the evenings if others are not considerate. I would have preferred if there were more tables/ shelves to put my belongings on.

    Located conveniently near shops, restaurants, cafès and transport. I was also provided with clear instructions on how to reach the accommodation. I had an issue with the Cole water tap and the guy came up straight away to fix.

    people were often talking in the staircase, or the hallway right in front of the room at night. The kitchen was kinda dirty, but that´s to be expected of a hostel.

    the location is perfect, close to hongdae but in a very quiet area, also close to yeonnam, where you can find many nice restaurants and cafes.

    The common area can be more tidy though the area is small. The drainage in face washing bowl is not so good in my room.

    The hotel is very worth my money. The hotel has good sound proof that made me sleep well. They provide easy free breakfast that is convenient because most restaurant open late in the morning. The towel/shampoo/hair conditioner/soap/tooth paste are also free provide. Shower is good with warm and strong water pressure. The size of my room is bigger than I expected so it is very convenient for 2 big luggages. The location is great in Hondae area but at night is quiet but not danger and a little bit walk from exit 3 of Hongik U. station so it is easy for you to go anywhere in Seoul.
