Overall had an enjoyable stay where the bed is very comfortable & breakfast is great. Location was near to Hongik University subway about 10 mins walk & connecting to Incheon Airport line too. Nearby a lot of restaurants & beauty outlets. Highly recommend due to the convenience around the guesthouse.

Terrible. Save your money & stay elsewhere.
Breakfast is white bread, butter & jam — disappointing. Very expensive for quality, and it’s totally self serve. Only hand towels, no bath size towels! No room cleaning, no temperature control in room, no sheets!! (Bottom sheet is a quilt that shifts, so you’re on the bare (dirty) mattress)

We deeply regret that we have a review of your malicious and incorrect information. Even though, you wrote a review anonymously, but as soon as we saw it, we could know who wrote it. We were not happy during your stay because you made other guests uncomfortable and you did not follow the rules of our guest house. Regarding to your feedback; 1. We prepared breakfast for all guests via Expedia and hotels.com in my house with; - Not only Sliced bread, butter and jams, but also smoked eggs, cheese, cereals, fresh milk and orange juice, coffee and tea with some snack. - We cook special food once or twice a week. During your staying, we cooked special food twice with Gimbap & Potato & Bacon soup. Sorry, but we know you ate it the most of guests. 2. Basically, self-service for breakfast and dish-washing is common and it’s our policy for all guests who stay in my place. 3. We do not provide any hand towels. We provide face towels unlimitedly, and guests can use the Bath size towels at 1,000 KRW/sheet as paid service. 4. We provide room cleaning service as per guest’s request as paid service. 5. We operate central heating system in my guesthouse. We always try to control the room temperature as per guest’s request. Every room has a air conditioner inside. 6. We always provide new bedding to new guests. It goes through a very well-managed process of washing and disinfection. We appreciate your feedback anyway. Hongdae Style Guesthouse will try to focus on improvement on guest’s request for all customers’ satisfaction as always. Thank you for staying at my place.

We arrived late and the hosts waited patiently for us even though it was almost midnight, and even gave us a free upgrade of the room. It was a very good experience as this is our first time staying in a guesthouse, and we definitely will go back in the future if we need lodging at Hongdae. Thanks for the breakfast too!! ^__^

ゲスハの入口から2階へ上がるお庭の階段が石で、来た時はオーナーが持ってくれたから良かったけど、早朝便でチェックアウト後、手すりもなく、暗くてスーツケースを持ちながら降りるのがとても怖かった。雨の日は滑りやすいと思う。お部屋は清潔でタオルも分厚いとても良かった。部屋にトイレ・シャワー付きを選んだけど、専用ではあるが、部屋を出たところにトイレ・シャワーがあり、暗証番号をいちいち入れて出入りするのが、夜遅く・早朝にトイレに行くのも隣の部屋の人に気を使い、不便だった。隣の部屋の人は連日、夜中2時～3時頃帰ってきて、ずっと大きい声で話してうるさかった。

弘大スタイルのゲストハウスに滞在していただき、フィードバックをいただきありがとうございます！ 夜明けに一人でチェックアウトするのに苦労したのは残念です。 ご予約のTwin roomは、専用バスルームが寝室の正面にあり、トイレの騒音から自由に行き、専用番号を押して利用しなければならない部分があります。 ちなみに、Double roomは寝室内に専用バスルームがあるので、次はその部屋を利用してみるのもいいようです。 隣の人のために不便を感じるなど、助けが必要な場合は、いつでも私たちのスタッフを見つけてください。 ゲストの快適な休憩のためにいつも待っています ありがとうございます！

女性の一人旅で利用しました。一人部屋でもスーツケースを広げて過ごせるくらいの広さはあり、そこまで狭いと感じませんでした。部屋ごとに自動でドアロックがかかるので、セキュリティも◎です。（韓流ドラマとかに出てくるマンション等によくある番号で解除するタイプのドアロックです。）朝ごはんは無料で料理が出てきます。セルフでとっていきます。（パンや卵、フルーツ、コーヒーなど自分の好きなだけ？食べれます。バイキング的な感じです。）朝食の時間は滞在している人が一同に還す上に食器は自分で洗わないといけないというルールなどがあるので、なるべく他人との交流を避けたい方やセルフでやらないといけないのが苦手な方はオススメしないかもしれません。もちろん絶対朝食はゲストハウス内で食べないといけないとかではないので、割と自由の効く雰囲気です。 とてもアットホームな雰囲気で、特に御手洗をこまめに掃除してくださるのが、有難かったです。ご主人･スタッフさんも優しい方々で滞在期間中楽しかったです。ありがとうございました！

民宿位在2號地鐵線弘大入口站1號出口走路3分鐘，離弘大購物鬧區只有一條大馬路之隔，民宿附近是住宅區晚上安靜，是個非常好的住宿地點，比起住在弘大購物商業街區，我覺得住在這裡更可以得到適度的休息。 民宿主人夫婦非常NICE和貼心，每日準備不一樣的早餐，時時關心房客，從訂房到入住期間我不時感受到他們溫暖的關懷，提供生病的家人就醫資訊且送上薑茶慰問，因為家人行動不便，訂房時提出希望安排住一樓客房也願意幫忙，是位真誠關心房客的主人。 客房設施完備，設有基本盥洗備品，沐浴熱水穩定，房間乾淨整齊，客廳佈置精巧，也提供許多官方旅遊資訊摺頁給遊客。 最重要一點，這是一間合法的民宿，有合格的消防設備，保全系統，住起來安心，貼心又溫暖別的民宿，像家一樣舒適，真心推薦給大家。 I would like to give highly recommended for this guesthouse, near subway, bus station, Hongik University shopping area, and most important thing it’s located in a quiet neighborhood. Hosts are very friendly, kind, thoughtful and well caring their guest, good breakfast, room facilities, hot water shower system, everything is perfect. My family really enjoyed this stay, thank you Min and Jeong.
