It was the first time I used a hostel, and it was beyond of my expectation. staff is very very kind. He gaved me lots of info, explained how to use subway and called a tour company instead of me. I really appreciate that. Also, the hostel offers breakfast and bathtowel, and there are some bathrooms. If I go to Seoul, I will use it again :)

The staff here was extremely kind! I am a young female traveling on my own and my flight got in around 12:30am. From the moment I landed the airport staff/bus driver/taxi driver and the Hongdae Guesthouse 2.0 staff worked together to get me safely to their hostel. They were so hospitable when I arrived I could have done everything with my eyes closed they made it so easy. I would definitely stay here again and wish I could have spent longer than 2 nights there.

This is one of the most amazing/cute/friendly hostels I've stayed at in the world! I love all the extra attention they give you, the cleanliness was impeccable, and the staff is simply amazing. They made me breakfast and everything! :) I have recommended this place to all of my friends and I have been twice already... many more times for sure in the future!

Located near exit 3 of hongik university station means this place is ideally located if you want to soak up the unique atmosphere of hongdae while staying in a more quiet area. The staff here are great, they are real friendly and keep the place clean, the only downside is that sometimes a staff member isn't always around and the English level of some of the staff is quite low. Many people come and go through this place so its ideal for meeting other people. Will definitely be back!

Hongdae Guesthouse 2.0 is great! Love the atmosphere and overall feel of this hostel. Was clean and staff were very friendly. Very close to Hongik University subway station which was very helpful as well. My only complaint was that the heat in the room was set at a ridiculously high temperature and it was uncomfortable to sleep. Staff insisted that we stop turning down/off which I thought was strange. However, I will recommend this hostel to friends and I will be back.

What should I say? This must be the BEST hostel that I have ever stayed! Yellow Submarine made me feel like I have a home in Korea, everyone treats us like close friends. Good location (near subway), extremely friendly and helpful staffs, clean environment..I have nothing more to expect, as yellow submarine has it all!! I will miss you guys Kim, Choi, Suk, Hoon, Simon and all the friends:) I would miss Simon's cooking! By Show, Kate and Kia, from Malaysia.
