What guests think

Across recent feedback for DW Design Residence, travelers consistently praise its convenient location near Hongdae and easy transit access, while noting a self-service check-in without a staffed front desk and some trade-offs typical of budget stays.

Many mention basic facilities with a shared kitchen and water dispenser, and the building lacks an elevator with stairs that can be challenging with luggage. Cleanliness reports are mixed, ranging from clean rooms to issues like insects, odors, dampness, and minimal housekeeping. Room quality varies: some are small or windowless with poor soundproofing, and several say photos did not match; a few noted weak water pressure, temperature swings, or winter heating issues. Overall, expect a budget-friendly, well-located, self-service stay with some inconsistencies.

三人行，兩張雙人床，睡得舒適。201號房，是獨立一間在共用廚房旁的房間，出房門口就有飲水機；房內算寬敞，可同時攤三個大行李箱，簡單的裝潢和浴室。早出晚歸的行程，地鐵只到24點，幾日晚上23點回到弘大，還有許多有名的餐廳可吃。這樣的住宿地點很棒，離地鐵站約幾分鐘的路程，房間簡單能凑合著用。

The location is good and close to Hongjik shopping area. Host Ms Sunny is friendly but not always in the house so self service is a must. Very nice to have power adapter for foreigners. Love the kitchen and utensils available for easy meals. The keylock instruction pictures not exactly match the real one installed, so you need to know how to open the cover before you can key in the pin. Laundry service is available by telling Sunny and there is a charge, which is ok.

2人住4人房, 因此空間非常寬敞, 沒有前台服務人員, 到埗時在櫃檯按指示撥打電話報上名字就會告訴你房間編號和密碼。唯一不便是沒有電梯, 大門位置前已經有8-10級樓梯, 我們剛好分派到3樓的空間, 是室內螺旋樓梯, 對拿著大行李的女生來說上落有點不方便~ 另外房間隔音不太好~整體還是可以的。

空間比想像中的還要大，蠻舒服的，不過床墊跟枕頭似乎是氣墊式？會有一些啪茲聲，門鎖是密碼鎖蠻方便的，不用擔心弄丟房卡，入住也很方便👍 小缺點是，因為住在三樓，搬行李時比較不容易，但慢慢搬還算可以。整體環境也都很乾淨！

Good location. No staff at reception. Warmer was on in the room’s floor but have they forget the customers luggages and goodies they bought are place on the floor and it melted the chocolates and plastic material luggages. Online check in is fast and efficient but if we need to re-print the confirmation flight and seat number for claims is it able to do so? I have tried but unable to retrieve again … if after the confirmation and can email an soft copy with flight and seats confirmation will be great.

I asked for the room to be clceaned once and only the trash can was emptied. The toilet was not cleaned and the sheets were not changed. You have to change the towels yourself. My room was right at the entrance, so I could hear everybody coming in and out. Nobody respected the silence sign. One day contruction was done right infront of my room and I was not informed that it was going to happen. Unfortunately not worth it.

주택가 근처라 비교적 조용한 편이며, 지하철과 버스정류장도 도보로 5분 거리라 대중교통 이용도 편합니다. 숙소 근처에 편의점과 식당 이용도 가능하고 홍대거리도 도보로 이동 가능한 거리입니다. 숙소 시설은 특별한 것은 없지만 룸컨디션은 양호하며, 침구류와 매트리스 상태도 좋아서 쾌적한 취침을 할 수 있었습니다.

The location is good and close to Hongjik shopping area. Host Ms Sunny is friendly but not always in the house so self service is a must. Very nice to have power adapter for foreigners. Love the kitchen and utensils available for easy meals. The keylock instruction pictures not exactly match the real one installed, so you need to know how to open the cover before you can key in the pin. Laundry service is available by telling Sunny and there is a charge, which is ok.

The room is located on 1st floor, good for solo traveller who does a lot of shopping. There is also a small kitchen inside the room and free water and coffee at the entrance. Will stay here again next time when I come to Seoul!:)

半地下の部屋でバスルームの窓を開けて換気しているせいか、蚊の侵入が絶えず余り眠れませんでした。コロナ前はアットホームないい施設でしたが、朝食サービスが無くなり、スタッフもよそよそしく、眠れないときては、まだゲストハウスでももっと良い施設が他にあります。
