The person who met us at the front desk was very friendly and had very good english! The rooms are small with a shared bathroom. They also had a nice downstairs to prepare food and some tables to eat at. Overall I would highly recommend staying here if you want somewhere simple and easy while you explore Seoul.

Perfect Stay

Easy check in. Easy check out. Perfect location. Nice bar and cafe across the street. They have heat up blankets which was perfect for the cold weather I encountered. Great wifi too.

The guesthouse is quite messy with things placed all over. The facilities and furnishing are quite run down. There’s a washer but no dryer. Very limited drying area. But the location is great as it’s near to Hongdae Shopping Street with lots of shopping, cafes and eateries. As it is also near to Hongik University Station, it’s rather easy to get to major tourist attractions, other shopping streets and places of interest.

It's in Hongdae.

The staff was really friendly, even the owner. They also eat and drink with us. Easy to talk to and know lots of languages. I will surely go back in this hotel.

Was good, staff were awesome and my time there was well spent with you people who quickly became friends. If you're looking for a home kind of vibe atmosphere then Uwa is the place for you. If you're looking to meet new people and make new friends them Uwa is the place for you.

Good location

It's right in hongdae and close to the subway which was convenient. I just needed a place to sleep since I was in town visiting family members during the day/evening. The place was clean and staff were friendly.

CLEAN AND NICE GUESTHOUSE IN HONGDAE AREA

I been stayed in this guesthouse for 5 nights and it was a great experience, the owner and staff is very helpful and friendly. The bed and room is clean. By the way, it was a sharing bathroom and toilet but it great maintain and clean! There have supply the small tower for the guest. The location is great, easy access to AREX train and subway. The police station is very nearby of the guesthouse so it is secure. Many restaurant and cafe nearby no worry you can't find the food, the worries is you can't pick what to eat.

War relativ cute! Nur leider waren eine Gruppe von 7-10 Leuten da, die zwischen 23-4 Uhr morgens sehr laut waren und sich nicht an die Regeln wie kein Fön in der Nacht etc gehalten haben… Ansonsten sehr gute Lage

The location is great. The kitchen is very disorganized, it’s very difficult to find anything. The shared bathrooms are bad, there is nowhere to put anything and there aren’t real doors. The provided towels are tiny. The hostel has a lot of potential due to the location but sadly it’s not realized.

Ett trevligt och enkelt ställe

Ett mycket trevligt hostel med många internationella gäster. För priset så är det vad man kan förvänta sig av ett hostel och har inget att anmärka på. Det är lite slitet, men det är mer en sidnotering än något som faktiskt påverkar. Området är toppen på alla sätt och närhet till mycket på promenadavstånd. Personal var väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam.

Un endroit simple mais cocooning

Un lieu agréable avec cuisine et salon partagé. Petite chambre mais suffisant pour juste y dormir. Lit peu confortable mais ne pas hésiter à demander un second matelas car le personnel est très accueillant et serviable. Très bien situé, proche d'un quartier animé.
