Miss HONGDAE — Hotel in Seoul

I absolutely loved the place and Jane. She is the best host I’ve met, with a great personality. She always care about your plans, and suggests a great places to visit! She also stays after her working hours if somebody didn’t check in, sometimes I saw her waiting up until 11pm, which is impressive. I stayed in August, so it was a bit hot in rooms during the day. Great common area with fans and kitchen. The guesthouse is always clean. There is a lot of showers, so I’ve never waited for it.

It was kinda hard to find for the first few times😅 Metro, buses, shops, convenience store, clubs, cafes, and so much more in less than 10 minutes walking! Also the area feels very safe, I’ve been walking at like 2-3pm, and never felt scared. It was my first time in Seoul, and it was such a great decision...

The room is so hot in summer. You will be very confused if you thought it was like a normal hostel. But no, it's more like staying in their house and they charge a hostel price. They don't have a front desk, so you have to call/text their number when you want to check in. Everything seems not very rigorous. They even didn't check my passport. 🤷🏻‍♀️

In and out needs to use password at the 1st floor and your room.

The good thing is, bathroom is pretty clean at this time. (They looks like new decorated place 2023/07) Also, location is near the shopping street, but a bit of dark in a small alley. Sigle Room is so big and have twin beds.

I won't stay here ever again. I am willing to pay more...

The owner is super nice but she was constantly turning off the air conditioning in the bedrooms and even when she would turn it on it was so hot in the room that you could not sleep, you were constantly sweating. Would not stay here again as I barely slept for the 3 nights I stayed here. Also had to open the window just to get some fresh air which let lots of mosquitos in. There was...
