Location is very good. Right across from Hongdae shopping area and easy access to bus and trains that go everywhere. The staff were very helpful. We stayed in Family room with 3 beds and it was quite spacious.

The beds were creaking if you move and for a light sleeper like me, I would wake up when I hear my bed or others' beds creak. Also, room tend to get hot at night due to the heater but we cant open the windows as we would hear the noise on the street. Another con for us is the wifi. 3 people stayed in the room (that was advertised to accommodate 4-5) but it seemed that only 4 gadgets can connect to the wifi at a time.

Excellent location and very friendly staff. Abundance place for luggages to lay open and usb charger slots. Room brightness supplemented with additional spot lights installed, overcoming the small window.. Wide and comfortable beds. Coin laundry machine makes days trip moves on easily.

Lack of cloth hanging rack. A few hooks secured on wall or a cloth hanger stand could have served the purpose.

The location is great. It is located across the street from Hongik University station. You can catch the All Stop train to Gimpo and Incheon. It is only about 5 minutes from Hongdae Shopping Street. There are 3 washers and dryers in the basement. 10000 won per load.

Staff was extra helpful and friendly. Let us leave our bags before check-in and after check-out since we wanted to explore without our luggage. The location was excellent. Right next to the metro and in a great location in Hongdae. By all the shops and food!
