This is good for when you want to save your money. Just for one night. Staff was really kind and gave me all the information that i needed. Rooms were clean but so old and weired. No key nor password is required to enter the room inside the hostel. there are 3-4 rooms. but a bathroom is just one.

This property should not be , in my opinion, on this site . This feels like someone’s apartment that rents out rooms . It’s super messy , disorganized. I arrived early and a guy sleeping on the sofa told me to come back at 3pm. He said I would have bed 3 . When I can back at 4pm , I went to bed 3 but that was in use , a random guy told me to use bed 4 but that bed was not made up . I was so turned off I just left even though I had pre paid .

The worst experience ever, on picture it looked an ok gueat house and for the price we didn't expect a 5 start property but as soon as you arrive to the place you can see that everything is dirty. Going inside the property and crossing accrooss the hallway and the kitchen there was a piece of wood and newspapers on what i assume was a fixer from the broken floor. The kitchen was full of dishes and when you go to your room it was definitely the okay part but the blanket small like hasn't been washed in a while. The only good point was the quick communication but it didn't matter because the property was definitely not well taken care of. We went after an hour out and found a better place.

Cosy, comfortable like a home | One Tech Traveller

They opened for only a week so yet to reflected everywhere but I had no problems finding Lux Guesthouse. Located on the 5F, you'll want to bear in mind the stairs. However, check-in was smooth, the staff were very friendly and multi-lingual with a family-style run approach to Lux guesthouse. For the price, the sleeping arrangements were great. I stayed in the 6 bed dormitory which had modern beds, plenty of storage and a large modern cabinet to stow away clothes on the hangers and relatively large backpacks and smaller items. The beds were comfortable and you get a full-on blanket which is soft and comfortable like back home. The rooms are well-heated with heated floors in the social area too. The two showers are pressurised well, though if used at the same time temperature and pressure drops so bear this in mind. Overall, it was comfortable with shampoo and toothpaste provided. The self-service kitchen has a fridge, stove, microwave and hot water machine for all you need. Internet is important for me and I'm happy to say it has very fast wifi so I could work from the lounge with ease. As I stayed over Christmas, we had a small ji-mek party which was great and found it felt like home including the people. I definitely recommend the place for comforts. It's mid-way between Hongik university station exit 8 and Sinchon exit 8. The quieter side but near all the restaurants and shops of Hongdae so was perfect.

チェックインも名前だけでok チェックアウトもスルー　ゲストハウス利用が多いなかでこれは初めてでした。 気づかいなく2泊、しかも他の客がいなかったので実質4人部屋を独占してました。 バス、トイレのゴミや汚れが気になりました。 5Fまで階段をのぼる必要があるので大きなスーツケースの方は覚悟してください。

民宿非常骯髒，十分不整潔，床和椅子都沒有收拾乾淨。我們的房間還是連著洗衣機的門口，別人可以隨便進出，非常不安全。 The room was very dirty and untidy, the bed and chairs were not cleaned. Our room is still connected to the door of the washing machine, so others can come in and out at will, which is very unsafe. Room는 매우 더럽고 단정하지 않았으며, 침대와 의자는 청소되지 않았습니다. 우리 방은 아직 세탁기 문과 연결되어 있어서 다른 사람들이 마음대로 드나들 수 있어 매우 안전하지 않습니다.

Highly recommend ! Everything was perfect This guesthouse is an appartement with a big living room and a fully equipped kitchen so it feels like being home. Located in Hongdae which is one of the most popular neighbourhoods of Seoul and easily accessible from the airport (direct subway line) - Hongdae station being less than a 5 minute walk (exit 6). The host is a great person, really kind and helpful ! Thank you to the host and to the owner for making me have an amazing stay

立地が最高です。弘大入口から歩いてすぐ着きます。荷物を5階まで階段で運ぶので、大きいキャリーで行く方にはあまりお勧めはしないです。チェックインもチェックアウトも特になく、これでいいのか？という感じでしたが、2泊3日特に不便なく過ごすことができました。

房間乾淨，地段好

一共在這間旅館住了6個晚上，旅館本來是一個四室一廳的公寓，我住的是一間4床的房間，房間的乾淨程度我算比較滿意，每個床邊都提供2個電源插座，也夠用，浴室和廚房很幹凈，旅館總共有2個洗手間，基本沒有等待很長時間的經歷，旅館的老闆不是經常在，所以一般都是自己來，老闆很熱情，不太會英語，交流有些困難，但是很熱情，出門在外算是個不錯的旅館，位置在五樓，沒有電梯，如果拎箱子上五樓會很辛苦，地理位置很好，在弘大，樓下有餐館，附近有便利店，過去弘大購物街5分鐘，特方便，我很滿意，下次來我還會住這一間旅館的

清潔かつサービスもよく気持ちよく過ごすことができました。ロケーションもホンデなので最高でした。 私が訪れた2日間は、若い男性の方が常駐していました(夜)。 鍵はナンバーロックになっていて、自由に出入りできます。タオルは使い古しで少々かたいですが沢山あるので困りません。5階エレベーターなしなので大きい荷物だと大変かもです。最寄りには駅もバスもあり交通の便がよいです。おしゃれなカフェも近くに多くあります。 お値段も加味して、お値段以上でした。ありがとうございました！
