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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
