Many note the steep uphill approach and stairs, and describe the property as basic in an older building with thin walls and some noise. Feedback on cleanliness is mixed: rooms and key areas are often clean, but multiple reviews report bathroom mold (including the basement family suite) and clutter or dust in shared spaces. Amenities are simple, with a pleasant rooftop and laundry, plus a light self-serve breakfast. Overall, expect a value stay with friendly help in a convenient but hilly spot.

There was a lovely rooftop where I drank my coffee every morning. Coffee and simple breakfast foods were provided, as was a cold and hot water dispenser, which is important in a city where it isn't a good idea to drink the tap water. Laundry available was a plus, and the location is close to many restaurants, shops, and convenience stores.

The staff were very nice and patient, and most of the facilities/amenities were convenient and maintained well. It was a very quiet area, even being in a city there were no noticeable nightlife sounds. Also within 5-10 min walking distance of numerous food/shops/stations/and a park. While the important main areas like beds/baths/kitchen were kept clean, the common area was a bit too crowded with stuff to feel usable, and there was quite a bit of dust/grime buildup in various nooks like behind beds and appliances. Overall a very comfortable place to stay and well worth it.

The guesthouse is up the hill and a narrow set of stairs. The rooftop area is nice. The room itself is clean. However there is a lot of mold in the washrooms and showers due to ventilation issues. I’m not sure if the owner knows. I mentioned it and they said sorry).

利便性の高い場所で宿泊費を抑えて滞在したい人に最適です。直前に急な坂はありますが、韓国では良くあるレベルです。写真はオープン直後のものと思われますが、現在はもっと生活感のある雰囲気になっています。ホステル慣れしている方であれば問題ありませんが、慣れていない方は、大家族の親戚の家に間借りさせてもらうようなイメージを持つと良いかもしれません。 入り口にコミュニケーションツールでのアクセス方法があるので、そこからオーナーにコンタクトできます。日本語でご対応いただけたので非常に助かりました。

立地は弘大に近く良いのですが、坂が結構きついです。でも送迎のサービスがあり、時間帯で使える人はいいと思います。共用部分の利用が朝は混みやすく、使いにくかったのが残念です。

Very clean facility. Nice owners. I just wish more detailed signs were provided in English on how to lock the door. The owner told me how when I arrived however I forgot after four days and locked the door incorrectly. I was also not able to find a working air conditioner so it was a bit hot at night. I would stay here again!

Great location and super helpful host Jin who went out of her way to ease our trip. The hill leading to the guesthouse is pretty manageable unless you are carrying heavy luggage. The building is older and there are some signs of gentle wear and tear, but Jin made a great effort to make it comfortable, and it provides excellent value given the price, location, and amount of space for our family of 4. I would stay here again on my next trip.

Jin is one of the kindest souls I've ever met. The hostel is clean and there is laundry and simple breakfast. The door is padded, so even though one of the girls in my room kept slamming the door, I didn't find it too loud. I found my stay very lovely and comfortable. 진님, 정말 고맙습니다!

Price is extremely reasonable and I think the place is great for it. Except… the bathrooms are pretty moldy. I think it’s difficult since there isn’t a lot of ventilation and the showers aren’t sectioned off, so the water gets everywhere in the bathroom. I would have liked to know this before booking.

評価が高かったため予約しましたが、あまり綺麗とは言えませんでした…。共有のリビング部分は長く滞在している方の部屋のようで、私物が置いてあったり、テーブルや床も毎日掃除されてる雰囲気はありませんでした。ゴミ箱もいっぱいでしたが1日経っても変えられていませんでした。 泊まった部屋もあまり綺麗な感じとは言えず、ここのゴミ箱も部屋の外に出して置いても変えてもらえずでした。また貸し出しタオルはどれも長年使って黄ばんだものしかなくちょっと使うのがためらわれました。アメニティも年季が入っていました。 ルールというルールが特になく、かなり自由なので、清潔さをそこまで気にされない方でしたら立地もよく、安く泊まれるのでいいと思います。 ただ施設のオーナーの方がとても親切だったので、色々掃除やタオルの新調、ある程度の共用部の使用ルールなどを決めてもらえるなら泊まってもいいかなと思いましたので、改善の余地を含めて投稿しました。

We stayed at the family suite. The suite is below the ground level and is moldy. You do get a lot of space for the money with a private kitchen and a bathroom, and 2 small bedrooms. The owner is super nice and accommodating so i feel bad saying this but I cant recommend this moldy family suite.

Jin was very accessible, responding to all texts immediately. She picked us up at the train, which was so nice. Everything was very clean and she supplied whatever we needed. We had the "suite" , which is a private 2 bedroom, bath and kitchenette om the first floor. If you value privacy, you will rent rhis area. The bed was hard for me and it could be noisy at night, but all in all a good location, spotless, accommodating, and a great value. Thank you, Jin.

Super friendly hosts. Thank you, Jin! Upstairs was not so much as described or pictured, but overall we appreciated our room and it was about as expected for the pricing tier and Asian lodging in general. Should try for a softer pillow, and small table lamps in the bedroom versus the glary ceiling fixture.

符合價位的住宿，具備毛巾、沐浴洗髮精、吹風機等等。 但隔音不好，半夜容易被其他間住宿客人的聲音打擾，公共空間和共用浴室廁所的維護要視同住客人的狀況而定，這次來說都很不錯。 地點位於坡道上，從弘大九號出口走約15分鐘，最後的爬坡會稍微累一點。

This place was great! Clean, good location, and the owner is so nice and helpful :) also great location right next to hongdae busy areas but still quiet, only thing is you have to walk up a hill to get there.

Guest house is about 10-15mins walkable form Hongik station exit 9 but have to make sure u can climb the very steep hill road to reach the guest house. With heavy and big luggage will be more difficult. But the host kind enough to offer pick up at Hongik subway station.

利便性の高い場所で宿泊費を抑えて滞在したい人に最適です。直前に急な坂はありますが、韓国では良くあるレベルです。写真はオープン直後のものと思われますが、現在はもっと生活感のある雰囲気になっています。ホステル慣れしている方であれば問題ありませんが、慣れていない方は、大家族の親戚の家に間借りさせてもらうようなイメージを持つと良いかもしれません。 入り口にコミュニケーションツールでのアクセス方法があるので、そこからオーナーにコンタクトできます。日本語でご対応いただけたので非常に助かりました。

立地は弘大に近く良いのですが、坂が結構きついです。でも送迎のサービスがあり、時間帯で使える人はいいと思います。共用部分の利用が朝は混みやすく、使いにくかったのが残念です。

Great location and super helpful host Jin who went out of her way to ease our trip. The hill leading to the guesthouse is pretty manageable unless you are carrying heavy luggage. The building is older and there are some signs of gentle wear and tear, but Jin made a great effort to make it comfortable, and it provides excellent value given the price, location, and amount of space for our family of 4. I would stay here again on my next trip.

There was a lovely rooftop where I drank my coffee every morning. Coffee and simple breakfast foods were provided, as was a cold and hot water dispenser, which is important in a city where it isn't a good idea to drink the tap water. Laundry available was a plus, and the location is close to many restaurants, shops, and convenience stores.

A really nice option if you're on a budget and don't mind sharing the space with strangers. The host was very sweet and easy to communicate with. The location is very close to a lot of food and not too far from the subway station so it was pretty convenient. It was a very enjoyable stay.

The staff were very nice and patient, and most of the facilities/amenities were convenient and maintained well. It was a very quiet area, even being in a city there were no noticeable nightlife sounds. Also within 5-10 min walking distance of numerous food/shops/stations/and a park. While the important main areas like beds/baths/kitchen were kept clean, the common area was a bit too crowded with stuff to feel usable, and there was quite a bit of dust/grime buildup in various nooks like behind beds and appliances. Overall a very comfortable place to stay and well worth it.

This was a really amazing experience. The hosts were so kind. They picked us up from and dropped us off at the metro station, offered food, and has a lovely place. There was a shared bathroom, but only a few people staying so there was never and issue. Highly recommend as this was a great spot

Jin is one of the kindest souls I've ever met. The hostel is clean and there is laundry and simple breakfast. The door is padded, so even though one of the girls in my room kept slamming the door, I didn't find it too loud. I found my stay very lovely and comfortable. 진님, 정말 고맙습니다!
