Going up to the 3rd floor with heavy luggages and no elevators is pretty uncomforable.

VERY good beds! Very clean room. Everything you need for a stay was available.

The location is very convenience. It is close to shops, restaurants, bus and subway stations. We checked in early and our room was ready.

I was all good!

The only thing that was not great was the shower - it is combined with the toilet, so it was hard to manage the splashing. We knew this when we booked, so not deducting anything from the rating, but there is some space in the bathroom to upgrade this.

Great studio in Mapo Gu. We really loved the location - 10 minute walk from the Hongik University subway station, so super easy to hop on multiple subway lines and get pretty much everywhere interesting in Seoul either directly or with 1 transfer. Plenty of good restaurants in the neighborhood, as well as interesting small shops. Studio was spacious and clean - pictures do it justice - WiFi worked great. Fab communication with the staff. My friend loved having access to a steamer - each floor had one on the floor lobby. Big fridge was also great. We would stay here again if we come back to Seoul.

the cleanliness could have been better but the property wasn’t really staffed

how there was a washing machine in the room, location was good

Stayed in June 2025

Bring earplugs or have a noise machine/track playing - sometimes other guests can be a little loud. Also, the windows have a "foggy film", so you don't get direct sunlight from outside.

We experienced several unexpected flight issues and ended up arriving two days later than planned. The host was exceptionally kind and went out of their way to offer a partial refund, which we truly appreciated. Communication throughout was fast, thoughtful, and reassuring. The studio itself was clean, spacious, and well-equipped—with a small kitchen, washing machine, and drinking water provided. The location is also excellent, about a 15-minute walk from the main Hongdae road, making it easy to explore the area. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Studio 41 to anyone visiting Seoul!

Our experience in Studio 41 was simply marvelous! The owner is a reliable person, everything is very well organized and the hostel is well located. We will return soon! Thanks!

No elevator and shower in centre of room meant everything including towels had to be outside room or they got wet

Location

The carpets in the common area is a little old. The beds are a little lumpy and water temperature is hard to adjust.

Studio41 is in a great location and offered all the facilities you need.

Awesome neighbourhood filled with cool cafe's and shops and very close to vibrant area.

Nothing

Amazing property, the best one we had during our trip in Korea. Very spacious and clean room, comfortable beds, in the hall you can find everything a traveller might need during his trip.

does not say it’s an hostel only found when we got there

Good location - cheap

The only downside was the bathroom setup. The shower, toilet, and sink are all into one space, so every time we showered, the whole area got wet. We had to keep moving our stuff—like towels, clothes, and toiletries—just to keep them dry. It wasn’t a huge problem, but a bit inconvenient, especially when getting ready. Also, there’s no elevator—only stairs. We were lucky to be on the second floor, so carrying our heavy luggage up wasn’t too bad, but it could be a challenge for those staying higher up.

Studio 41 is in a great location, with plenty of shops and restaurants just a short walk away, which made exploring the area super convenient. The room was comfortable, and the overall stay was pleasant. The staff were also very helpful and accommodating, always ready to assist with anything we needed.

Really good location, just 10 min walk to two metro lines and plenty of bus options. Lots of cool cafes and great restaurants around. The apartment itself is quite roomy. The bathroom is, for me, a disaster but this is quite common in Korea I think. The shower is in the same place as the toilet and the basin and water just goes everywhere. I guess Koreans must shower differently to westerners but you have to leave all towels and toiletries out of the bathroom when you shower, you need to move the toilet roll or it will get saturated, the water goes scalding hot and ice cold at random and you simply can’t control the flow of water from the shower head. I found it really frustrating.

No elevator

Comfortable

Stayed in March 2025

Heard a lot of noise from the people that stayed above us at late hours of the night and extremely early hours of the morning (12am-2am)

It was spacious for the amount of people we travelled with, the place gave warm and cozy vibes.

The first room we stayed in had some very obvious maintenance work done to it. the shower was also in a weird spot and also at a fixed height which worked against my partner who is on the taller side. The second room I stayed did not have the weird layout and was very pleasant. The only somewhat annoying thing was that it was not very sound proof and you could hear everyone coming and going on the stairs/outside the room (this was the case for both rooms) but there is a quite room after 10pm which helps.

The location was great, a short walk to the train station and then only a few more min walk to Hongdae shopping street. There was some amazing food within walking distance and easy access. had good free amenities for everyone. is suitable for couples, groups of friends and even families. the rooms were tidy and spacious which was nice.

It would have been nice if they offer even coffee sachets but good and clean room.

The location is accesible by train for 10 mins walk more or less. In the heart of Hongdae and lots of restaurants and shops.

A bit far from station, but ok. Provided washer and dryer but noisy when operated hence limit time to working hours operation which is not convenient to travellers.

The only accommodation that provides us with big towels. Easy to locate eateries nearby. Spacious. Good water pressure.

Neighbors/ other residents can be loud at night. Shower is typical for the region, just heads up, you don't really have a designated shower area with curtains etc, just a showerhead and a plughole.

We had two double sized beds, so it was perfect to sleep off the jet lag. We could leave our baggage in the reception area on the day of our departure. We also could wash and dry our clothes before heading to our next destination. Room was clean and comfortable, bed and pillows are "harder" than in western places, but I prefer it this way. Plates, cutlery was in the room, and hair dryer. Towels, body wash was in the room, microwave in the hallway with a water dispenser. It was a very short walk to the metro.

No lift, and the shower head is between basin and toilet bowl.

Clean and spacious room with universal wall plugs. Water dispenser and weighing scale outside the room.
