Hongdae Guesthouse Reviews

i been here before ..i really like this hostel that s why i cameback ppl are friendly,area is nice,a lot of restaurant around metro station 30 seconds walking if i will be back to korea i will definetly go back there,just hope next time the drain of the shower will gonna work because after taking shower the toilet seems like a swimming pool :-( for the rest all ok

Excellent location with reasonable price. But lack of atmosphere of hostel. Just a room in an office building. Doesn't have any living room or sort to mingle with other guests. The security pin number for every room is the same. Not secured at all.

It's was great experience to stay in Hongdae guesthouse. The Staffs are very helpful and nice. Also the room is big and they come to clean up everyday. If I will travel Seoul again, I will definitely go for Hongdae Guesthouse again.

we had a truly great time there.. couldn't ask for more, =) ms. mary and kim were very helpful. we'll surely go back there when we go to korea again..

The hostel staff is very nice and helpful. The location is great, just right above the subway station. We got a family room with a private toilet. The room is very spacious! It is highly recommended if you want a comfortable place. However, if you are looking for a place to meet people, it may not be suitable as there are no common area and we didnt have a chance to talk to others. If you wanna meet some friends, you can go to their second guest house, which is also very nice!

A little bit unorganised - when we booked, we specified that we would check-in at 10am, and when they emailed to confirm, we said 11am instead. But when we arrived at 11am, we were told that normal check-in time was 12pm and were told to come back in an hour! They could've told us in the email to avoid wasting time. Nevertheless, the shared dorm room we stayed in was clean and the beds were comfortable, but the internet was slow and we weren't allowed to flush toilet paper down the toilet.

Best location in Seoul! - Easy access to airport since the subway is just below the building. You'll never get lost! Free use of PC with internet in the rooms. Spacious CR and room. free maps, bread, jam, and dryer. However, no common area and the office is a bit cramped with various stuff. If you're with a big group (7-12 persons), this is the best place to stay since you have the room for yourselves. Mary is such a sweetheart! Will definitely be back here.

I really loved my stay here.

A very strategy place easy access from airport or any sightseeing places. Metro are at your doorstep.Very convenient. The owner are very friendly and considerate.I really enjoy my time and If I visit Seoul again would like to stay with Hongdae guesthouse again!

Two night stay, which was enough. The building is in a great location (next to Hongdae) but that is all. The building lacks any character, it's more just a place to sleep. The common area for food is in an office which is quite cluttered and you don't really get a sense to relax and enjoy breakfast. No stove, just toast in the morning. Staff was moderately helpful, but in comparison to treatment at Hongdae 2.0 last week I would say it was lacking. I would not stay at this location again.

You most certainly would not come to Hongdae Guesthouse to have a "super fun time." I think the selling point of this place is that it's clean, it's quiet, and the location absolutely cannot be beat. You are literally a one minute walk from the turnstile that admits you to the subway, and Line 2 is by far the most convenient. Hongdae is a convenient neighborhood with shops and restaurants too. The guesthouse does not have a layout with encourages meeting tons of new people, but I like it a lot.
