The room had all that we needed and the wifi was great. We loved that we could get hot water easily from the common area. The location was extremely convenient for us as we had a day tour booked in and it was also so easy to get to the airport by train. We had some trouble with the washing machine and Emily was a great help. She even checked in with us the day before we check out just to make sure we factored in enough time to get ourselves to the airport. Overall a great stay!

The place was located near a subway station which has lots of attractions. We took some packages from Klook tour and the pick up and dropping place was at that subway station. Furthermore when we arrived from Incheon Airport the same subway had a direct line to it. So my whole trip was so convenient. The distance from that subway is just around 8-10mins walk. And the place was really clean

Well, there is nothing that I really don't like except maybe just a minor inconvenience cause it's a 3 storey building and there's no lift.. we need to climb the stairs with our luggage cause we get the room at level 3. So if those having difficulty climbing stairs (having a baby pram, disable or wheelchair) it might be less convenient for them. But there were no issues for my family as my kids are in teens

Great studio in Mapo Gu. We really loved the location - 10 minute walk from the Hongik University subway station, so super easy to hop on multiple subway lines and get pretty much everywhere interesting in Seoul either directly or with 1 transfer. Plenty of good restaurants in the neighborhood, as well as interesting small shops. Studio was spacious and clean - pictures do it justice - WiFi worked great. Fab communication with the staff. My friend loved having access to a steamer - each floor had one on the floor lobby. Big fridge was also great. We would stay here again if we come back to Seoul.

The only thing that was not great was the shower - it is combined with the toilet, so it was hard to manage the splashing. We knew this when we booked, so not deducting anything from the rating, but there is some space in the bathroom to upgrade this.

Really good location, just 10 min walk to two metro lines and plenty of bus options. Lots of cool cafes and great restaurants around. The apartment itself is quite roomy. The bathroom is, for me, a disaster but this is quite common in Korea I think. The shower is in the same place as the toilet and the basin and water just goes everywhere. I guess Koreans must shower differently to westerners but you have to leave all towels and toiletries out of the bathroom when you shower, you need to move the toilet roll or it will get saturated, the water goes scalding hot and ice cold at random and you simply can’t control the flow of water from the shower head. I found it really frustrating.

Excellent facilities, very comfortable place to stay, great location close to many great restaurants & transport links. Well set up for international travellers.

Good location on the less busy side of Hongdae. Hotel services are good, there is a microwave, ice and hot and cold water available in the common areas. The room has everything one needs for even a lengthy stay. Staff was efficient.

In Korea, it makes little sense to have a keycard for the door as the door seemingly had a number lock. Having one key for four people was a bit bothersome. Beds didn't feel uncomfortable, but we had back pains in the morning.

We experienced several unexpected flight issues and ended up arriving two days later than planned. The host was exceptionally kind and went out of their way to offer a partial refund, which we truly appreciated. Communication throughout was fast, thoughtful, and reassuring. The studio itself was clean, spacious, and well-equipped—with a small kitchen, washing machine, and drinking water provided. The location is also excellent, about a 15-minute walk from the main Hongdae road, making it easy to explore the area. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Studio 41 to anyone visiting Seoul!

Bring earplugs or have a noise machine/track playing - sometimes other guests can be a little loud. Also, the windows have a "foggy film", so you don't get direct sunlight from outside.

Studio 41 is in a great location, with plenty of shops and restaurants just a short walk away, which made exploring the area super convenient. The room was comfortable, and the overall stay was pleasant. The staff were also very helpful and accommodating, always ready to assist with anything we needed.

The only downside was the bathroom setup. The shower, toilet, and sink are all into one space, so every time we showered, the whole area got wet. We had to keep moving our stuff—like towels, clothes, and toiletries—just to keep them dry. It wasn’t a huge problem, but a bit inconvenient, especially when getting ready. Also, there’s no elevator—only stairs. We were lucky to be on the second floor, so carrying our heavy luggage up wasn’t too bad, but it could be a challenge for those staying higher up.

The location was great, a short walk to the train station and then only a few more min walk to Hongdae shopping street. There was some amazing food within walking distance and easy access. had good free amenities for everyone. is suitable for couples, groups of friends and even families. the rooms were tidy and spacious which was nice.

The first room we stayed in had some very obvious maintenance work done to it. the shower was also in a weird spot and also at a fixed height which worked against my partner who is on the taller side. The second room I stayed did not have the weird layout and was very pleasant. The only somewhat annoying thing was that it was not very sound proof and you could hear everyone coming and going on the stairs/outside the room (this was the case for both rooms) but there is a quite room after 10pm which helps.

We had two double sized beds, so it was perfect to sleep off the jet lag. We could leave our baggage in the reception area on the day of our departure. We also could wash and dry our clothes before heading to our next destination. Room was clean and comfortable, bed and pillows are "harder" than in western places, but I prefer it this way. Plates, cutlery was in the room, and hair dryer. Towels, body wash was in the room, microwave in the hallway with a water dispenser. It was a very short walk to the metro.

Neighbors/ other residents can be loud at night. Shower is typical for the region, just heads up, you don't really have a designated shower area with curtains etc, just a showerhead and a plughole.
