Private room near the top floor but very tight spaces. A hostel type of place. Have a small TV which did not power up at first but I was able to find the power source and power cycle the unit. The shower and toilet combination was interesting but it works. The bed was good enough. Easy check-in and check-out, near college area, a bit far from the subway. The best way to this place would be Taxi. Was here for only 3 days but if I had a longer stay I would go elsewhere.

Very accessible and convenient place to stay near Yonsei University, especially for those going to solo. The place is at the center of a night hub, frequented mostly by Korean students and young professionals, although inside the house, it was generally quiet.

I chose this place primarily because of the location, which is literally right across the street from Yonsei University and surrounded by shops and restaurants with only a short walk to the subway station. I loved how easy check-in was. I was arriving later in the day and so was emailed details of which room I would be in, code to the guesthouse, where the key would be, and what to do upon checkout. I was there for two nights and didn't see the guesthouse owner/manager at all. The bed was okay and was pretty standard as far as comfort, and the room was clean, but under the bed had loads of dust piled up (I'd dropped an earring and lifted the covers to look under the bed). Amenities were good, and there was a mini fridge in the room as well. There was a tiny TV, and it did have cable, but the connection was poor and I had to position the TV just right for there to be minimal static. The WiFi was excellent. There was AC, but that part wasn't clarified very well. There is AC in the halls and main area, but if you want AC in your room, you have to keep open a window leading to the hallway or your front door. There was what appeared to be a vent that you could turn on for AC possibly, but mine was broken and made a horrible noise. For the beginning of summer, this meant the room was really muggy and pretty warm during the day and night. Otherwise, my stay was all right. I don't think I would stay again, though.

Stayed here because it was a short walk from Hongdae so the location was convenient for me. The room was comfortable and clean (although a bit cold in winter) and there were kitchen and laundry facilities available. When I arrived to check in I had to wait a long time because there was no staff around so I ended up feeling a bit annoyed but after checking in the staff apologised multiple times and were very friendly and helpful.
