I asked the staff for a locker but he was unable to help me for some reason. The bread that was offered was not vegan so we were unable to eat it.

Thank you for your reviews. and I'm sorry that our staff did not help you for the locker key. He said he was going to help you after what he had to have done. I will tell him not to forget. Or help first and working cleaning later. :) Thank you for having stayed with us. hope to see you again. Mary, hostess of Yellow Submarine.

Hostel was in a decent location, right out of exit 3 of Hongik Univ. station and a 3-4 min walk. There's a security keypad door entrance and beds were comfortable. I was concerned about being placed in some kind of back annex room, but it turned out to be nice and comfortable. My friends stayed in the room upstairs (door to the left at the top of the stairs) and they told me they were all freezing at night. Request to be downstairs. Overall, pretty good for 15,000 pn.

Thank you for having stayed with us~! and thank you for the review. heating temperate is not easy for us to make it on good balance for everybody. someone say, hot. someone say cold. but glad to hear you could ask to move down.. we are happy to make it better when guests ask us something~. :)

Nice enough place if a little pricey for what you get, ten minute walk from hongik uni which is a great area. The private room was big and clean if a little plain. The door had a wide gap down the side and it was made of very thin wood meaning we could hear conversations from both outside the room and downstairs until very late, there were signs asking for quiet but nothing to enforce them. Showers had low pressure, semi-hot water and the toilet door had a broken handle. Not awful, not great.

This was an awesome hostel. The staff were very friendly And on many occasions they held gatherings/get togethers In the basement. The location is extremely convenient, probably 5 mins from Hongdae station and about 10 mins from all the clubs And shopping in Hongdae, which is great. The one complaint is That there wasn't much privacy when it came to showers, Which wasn't really an issue for me but sometimes it was Cumbersome.

Overall had an amazing stay at the hostel. The workers there were hilarious and even hung out with us a few times. Truly enjoyed my stay here and I were to come to back to Korea I would definitely stay here again!

I'm not sure if Hongdae Guesthouse 2.0 and Hongdae Guesthouse 3.0 are one and the same; in fact, the multiple names had me confused for a bit. But there is nothing to complain about regarding the quality of the facilities, staff, and stay itself.
