Simple and clean room, I like the snack options and coffee they have, it was very helpful, bed was comfortable, the only think I think is important to know for people is that there is no elevators and it’s on third floor, if you have a lot of luggage or problems with stairs maybe look another property. If you are good with that, I recommend it, the location is great.

Nice location, hotel is clean with good amenities. Love being able to wash & dry clothes. The hotel surroundings are dodgy and no lift to 3rd floor and difficult if have big & heavy luggages. Good to have Hair salon & CU below

This is a cute and cozy hotel with a simple bed/shower/desk/tv private room that opens to a shared kitchen, 24hr espresso machine, snacks, washer & dryer and very friendly staff. There’s no elevator to the 3rd floor location but the very sweet lady and very nice man carried my bags up and down the stairs when I arrived and left. They go above and beyond good service. The location is convenient to Hongdae street and Hongkik subway station. I will be staying again.

Everything is self-service, which is perfect for introverts. There are snacks, a coffee machine, and a water dispenser in the common area, and the rooms are very clean. However, since it's located in Hongda, there are too many couples around. The soundproofing isn't great, “aaaa, sounds” start from 9pm.....Hopefully, the management can address and improve this.

優點：環境整體非常乾淨，也有小餐點、果汁等可供住客自行取用，地點也非常方便，離弘大1號出口只需走路不用5分鐘的時間。 缺點：隔音非常不佳，可能底下就是地鐵所經路線，因為共振關係，都能聽到地鐵起步或者行駛聲音，影響睡眠品質。

This such an awesome hotel! Four adult guest fits perfectly in room 304 with still plenty of room for luggages. The hotel is very clean and has good amenities. They have cold and hot water and ice available. Free laundry and soap. Very close to Hongdae red road district. We will go back again here for sure!

L'hôtel est bien situé, pas bruyant malgré qu'il soit sur une grosse avenue. Tout est propre. Le check-in n'est possible qu'à partir de 15h, pas 14h59... 15h! Mais le gros problème est la literie, dur comme la pierre. Je n'ai pas réussi à dormir et j'ai eu mal partout.

무인 체크인 시스템이라 외국인이나 낯가리는 분들께는 좋을 듯합니다. 2층인데 엘리베이터가 없어서 캐리어 있으면 불편해요. 방은 좁은 편이지만 화장실에서 간이 샤워도 가능합니다. 방음은 거의 안 됩니다. 역어서 걸어갈 수 있는 거리라는 점은 좋습니다. 호텔이라기보다 현대식 여인숙이라고 생각하시는 편이 마음 편할 듯 합니다.
