The building quite old. Room is small as per expected. No key for your room means u can’t lock when u’re out so it feel insecure. Floor heater is fine. Bed sheet is weird and a bit dusty. There’re only 1 rest room to share/level and 2 showers and it smelled. Shower room is very inconvenience as there’s only on hook to hang all your stuff. Only shampoo and shower gel provided. At first i can’t find the kitchen since the door’s always close and TV always turn on so i thought it’s staff room. Location is great but i won’t stay here next time.

Overnight stay
I got to the city around midnight and the owner seems annoyed because I arrived late. The room and bathroom was okay. But the ventilation isn’t that good. I feel like there was no air circulating inside the room. Good thing I only had to stay overnight before my flight to Jeju.

Great place
Very good location, just a few steps from the subway and the heart of the action in Hongdae. Beds are wooden but not noisy. Toilet + 2 showers per floor. A large table in each room, so you can get work done if you have to. Shared computer for those who need it. I have absolutely nothing to complain about.

Nice place for a quick stay but the bed feels the same as the floor- was there even a mattress? The sheets looked and smelled like they skipped some washes. There was one guest who stayed for only a few hours one night and the owner came in to refold the blankets for the new customer. This was a good price for the stay and good location but wouldn't recommend if you like to use common spaces. No public kitchen.

Great location, friendly and clean hostel
great locations to the train station from or to airport especially if one use the exit 5 of hongik university station. also, it is very near to bbq and shopping streets which is right behind the block. the owner is helpful, the hostel is clean and the bed is comfortable even though sleeping on bunk beds. just note that the room (4 bed dorm) is rather small. however, this only a minor issue. I will definitely go back n stay again.

The room and facilities (bathroom, kitchen and shower room) are clean but I dont like the way they deceived paying customer. I booked with continental breakfast but the whole time I was there no continental breakfast was served (except a instant coffee and a piece of bread the first day which didnt held to my standards since I paid extra. Overall, its an ok experienced.

Nice hostel close to Hongik Uni Station
This is a nice hostel conveniently located in a close proximity to Exit 7 of Hongik University Station, which is one of the stations if you take the all-stop Arex train from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station (or vice versa). As the area near Hongik University Station is a busy and popular place among the Koreans, you will easily find a lot of nice restaurants, boutiques and cosmetic shops. You can also find street performances and busking there. Having said that, the surrounding area of the hostel is quiet enough for me to have good sleeps for 2 nights. Despite shared bathroom and washroom, the hostel is overall clean. The owner is very friendly and can speak good English. Please remember to bring your own toothbrush. They also provide a big enough locker for each guest in the room.

Great bargain and amazing location
It was overall good experience, the owner was nice to keep my luggage until the checkin time. But when he was cleaning the rooms he just knocked on my room (who knows what I might be doing or wearing!), which was a bit unexpected.

Great place to stay
My friend and I had an amazing time here. It was in a great location, right next to the Airport Railroad line. Close to many great restaurants and stores. There was a lot of things to do in the area because it is in the Hongdae area. Lots of college students during the weekend. Close to Line 2 (green line) that will take you to so many places in Seoul. We enjoyed our time here. The staff was great! Very welcoming and accommodating.

Bad Experience
Book for a twin room 9 sqm and is at 3rd level. The room is really small and have no space to open up our luggage, the room only have 1 socket power point and me and my friend has to take turns to re-charge our phone. The wash basin in the shared toilet is so dirty and smell bad, shared shower room has only 1 hook for clothes. The bed sheet and blanket look dirty with stains. Apart from the good and convenient location (direct airport train) I really cannot find any plus point to compliment on the guesthouse.

Super good location and neat room
The location is very good that it's just few minutes to walk to the Hongdae station airport line. After lots of shopping, and with large and heavy luggage, I didn't have to worry about going to the airport in the crowd. And, there're some 24hr restaurants nearby. The guest house is comfortable, room is neat, and the host is nice.
