Guest Reviews

• Ssu Han (9/5): -
• Nabilla (5/5): Disappointing stay - quite near with everything The toilet was not clean, and the room felt far too cramped for 3 - 4 people. There were no lockers or proper space to store personal belongings. Breakfast was advertised but not provided during the stay. The common area was also very limited, and towels were not included, we had to rent them for 3,500 won.
• Ricardo (8/5): -
• Sonia Lee (10/5): -
• Miljana (10/5): Cute and cozy - It is such a cute and cozy place in the heart of Hongdae. Wi-fi was reliable, my room was clean, there was a little kitchen 🍳 with all cooking supplies and fridge for you to use during your stay. Bonus points for all the mirrors and hair styling devices. Girls, you would love it! Thank you, Mr. Peter! I will recommend your place to my friends. 🙏
• Yu Han (10/5): - 老闆會英文很用心 訂一人的最後給我四人房甚至沒有其他室友 浴室房間也都很乾淨 自己獨旅是個好選擇 只是行李上下樓梯有點不方便而已 其他都很不錯～
• weichen (4/5): - 離弘大商圈很近走路5-10分鐘就可以抵達 大門的鎖好像壞掉不會自動上鎖有點危險 因為是混合住宿，有長住的人專屬使用的廁所，使用完沒有關門非常臭飄出來的尿騷味讓共用空間都是臭味。 冰箱沒有清潔打開也有難聞的氣味。 要爬樓梯到3樓，對有行李的旅客比較不友善。
• Christine (6/5): -
• Jacob (8/5): -
• Noemi (6/5): - La zona è ottima, e il rapporto qualità prezzo. La stanza era piccola e per salire al secondo piano le scale sono abbastanza pericolose.
• Terangi (10/5): Awesome - Great location Small kitchen
• Sonia Lee (10/5): - When I come to South Korea I love staying here at Br. Guesthouse. This is my second time coming with a group and this hostel is 10/10 recommend if traveling with a group or even solo traveling. Peter the host is absolutely phenomenal. The location is amazing! Walking distance from Hongdae main red line and very close to the All stop train Hongik University station which takes you directly to the incheon airport. Will be booking here again! Thank you Peter for your hospitality I dont even have one complaint!
• LiPing (8/5): - 地點好，價格不貴 希望清潔能做更好一點，但這價格算不錯了
• Miranda (8/5): -
• Sandra Liliana (8/5): - Excelente ubicación, y el dueño es muy amable. Habitación pequeña pero cómoda. Se permite dejar el equipaje allí después del check out y recogerlas después. Tiene un espacio bien equipado con secador, piensas de cabello etc. Queda en un 2 piso sin elevador. Así que se debe considerar en caso de llevar mucho equipaje. La parte de la ducha nonwsta del todo limpia.
• Taise (10/5): - The best place to stay in hongdae
• KENG CIH (10/5): -
• moni (10/5): -
• Marie (4/5): Billigt, trevlig och hjälpsam värd men kalla och trånga utrymmen och framförallt störande grannar - Närhet/läget Hjälp med väskor Billigt Städningen Värmen/kylan i ”kök” och i sittdelen uppe Störande boende hela natten De andra två nätterna störde de också Lyhört
• Ya Ting (8/5): -
• CHENG (6/5): -
• AlTANCHIMEG (5/5): -
• Kao (7/5): - 位置離地鐵站很近，很方便 就算關了窗戶，晚上外面的聲音還是很明顯，可能是因為在弘大商圈旁，半夜會有吵鬧的人經過
• Marine (6/5): - Good location Very close to the tube station The neighbourhood is quite nice No heat the first night, we asked for it in the morning, so heat was on for our second night but off again for our last night The bathroom is supposed to be private, but be prepared to share it with other rooms as it's just a note on the door If your room is next to the door, you may hear other guests in the middle of the night ...
• Hirota (6/5): -
• corinne (9/5): Comfortable and nice stay in a great neighbourhood - Everything is closeby. Friendly host who is always willing to help. You can hear your neighbours in the other room. They however kept quite when I asked them. I also didn’t like the plastic that was kept on the pillow, but got used to it
• Christian Kento (7/5): Great location small rooms - Great location The rooms are small and communal bathrooms, but price is great.
• Yoichi (9/5): Hongdaeから近い！ - Hogdae駅から近い。治安もそんなに怖いと思うような場所ではない。 シャワー/トイレが大きめ。キッチンがある。 清掃に来ていた男性にあいさつすると、やさしく挨拶してくれます。 階段のみのアクセス。3階から施設に入ります。 キャリングケースだと移動させにくいかもしれない。 Hongdaeは土地柄夜遊びに来ている若い人々が多いので、日によっては2時とか、3時でも廊下がうるさいことがある。これは運ですね。
• Paul (10/5): -
• Ying-Ju (8/5): 整體而言CP值還不錯，離地鐵站跟弘大鬧區都蠻近。攜帶小型行李、不介意爬樓梯、可接受共用衛浴的話，這間住宿非常推薦。 - HOST訊息回覆很親切，也有事先詢問抵達時間，並且在入住當天主動提供自助入住相關資訊。共用衛浴空間很大，雖然磁磚縫難免有些發霉痕跡，但還算乾淨整潔。這次入住雙人房，房間內有5個插座、立式衣架、掛鏡、小桌子，床墊跟枕頭舒服好睡，冷氣跟地暖也都能正常運作，而且房間非常乾淨，有不小心將東西掉落地板滾進床底下，再撿出來竟然沒有沾染灰塵。雖然住宿要爬很多樓梯，但因為我攜帶的是20"登機箱所以沒有什麼問題! 房間的電燈開關在房外，睡前要關燈有點不方便。毛巾只有提供一條，連續住宿多日的話也不會換新，需要額外加價。
• 野圓 (10/5): -
• CHUN YU (8/5): -
• mathijs (8/5): - Super locatie en vriendelijke gastheer Andere gasten waren niet zo sociaal.
• Filippa Alberte (8/5): -
• Julia Coco (9/5): - nice host! You are in middle of hongdae but it’s still really quiet not really spaces to socialize since the rooms are small and no AC in those rooms
• YA HUEI (9/5): 推薦獨旅、雙人同行來這邊住宿，CP值很高 - 地點好，環境不錯，老闆很親切！ 公共煮水壺之類的感覺沒什麼人使用，所以積了灰塵和垢。隔音沒有很好，隔壁房的人如果動作太大會聽得見。
• Mayuko (8/5): 全体的には良かった！ - 駅から近い！ 外国人宿泊者のマナーが良くない。深夜もうるさかった。
• Chi Han (8/5): -
• Hsin (7/5): 預算有限的話 還是會推薦來這裡 - Wifi流暢 共用浴室乾淨 有櫃子 也有掛衣服 毛巾的地方 冷熱水也正常 離弘大七號八號口都差不多距離 步行約3-5分鐘 這次住二樓 雖然房間是四人房（兩個上下舖） 我一個人用而已 但 這間真要住四人 說實在太擠 而且 住了三夜 只給浴巾 毛巾各一條 雖然共用浴室乾淨 但其他公共空間 不是很乾淨 都看得到厚厚的灰塵 廚房地板也都黏黏的 飲用水 只有廚房過濾水的那個水龍頭 沒有一般飲水機的
• Sonia Lee (10/5): Stay here!! - I loved loved staying here! We came with a group of 6 and the host was absolutely amazing and fantastic ~ The best part of this stay was the air-conditioning! It worked so well especially since it was super hot in korea 🇰🇷
• Cristian (10/5): - Everything was super
• 謹慈 (10/5): Exceptional - Thank you to the host! Very kind and friendly — I really appreciated the warm hospitality🩵 No
• Agostino (7/5): Good -
• West (9/5): Superb -
• H.m.s (6/5): Pleasant -
• Margherita (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rojas (4/5): Disappointing -
• Pierre (8/5): Met my expectations - The location was in the middle of the shopping district surrounded by many shops and restaurants and it was very busy there. The room had no table and no TV. The neighbors were very loud when we came home.
• Verified traveler (8/5): 性價比很高 - 很近弘大機場線地鐵出口，附近也有巴士站，交通方便 有memo提醒注意事項 有樓梯，拿大型行李要留意 但checkout時，戶主有幫忙搬行李到樓下
• Pasiol (9/5): Superb -
• Bach (8/5): Good - location, price, friendly host Nothing
• Maharaj (9/5): Superb -
• Nugroho (8/5): Very good -
• Assiala (5/5): Good location, but we won’t be back in this guesthouse specifically even though the host was very kind. - The location is the main advantage of the guesthouse. It is in the center of Hongdae with all restaurants and shops in the neighborhood. The host was kind. We have been clearly disappointed by the cleanliness of the place, especially in the kitchen and shower. There were molds everywhere. Picture on Booking have been taken a long time ago vs what we saw. Another point is the noise. Rooms are not soundproof at all so you could hear other guests at every hour of day and night. Finally no possibility to block sunlight in the morning, as the store weren’t useful, so be sure to be woken up at 6am.
• Cindy (9/5): Superb -
• Keith (8/5): Cconvenient and budget stay in Hongdae - good location, homey environment, hospitable host, great price, clean bathroom shared bathroom sometimes occupied by other guests, room size not big
• Petra (10/5): Exceptional - The host was really kind and came everyday to clean. If we needed anything, he helped. Also it was at a really good spot.
• Hsing Yeh (10/5): - 老闆人很友善！謝謝～
• Nurul (10/5): This guesthouse is very recommended👍🏻 - Cleanliness, commfortable, great location, friendly staff Nothing
• Siti (7/5): Great find! - Location was good. Really close to convenience store. A few cafes on the same street. The owner is also very helpful and ensured my items were safe. Facilities are all available and feels just like home. Small signage so we had quite a hard time to find the place. Small room for 2 people. Barely a space to open our luggages. Had to climb up two flights of stairs to get into the guesthouse. Our room was also on the upper floor of the guesthouse so more stairs to climb with narrow space. But do note we had XL luggages. If yours is small should not be a problem. Also if you come during working hours, pretty sure the owner is happy to help with that. We arrived at night so we had to do it ourselves.
• Jia-shu (6/5): Pleasant - Convenient location, low price and adequate public facilities The bathroom toilet is a bit dirty, the refrigerator doesn't smell good, and the housekeeper might enter the room
• Declan (9/5): Good location and helpful staff. - Hostel is in a very central location in Hongdae, just a couple streets from the station. Staff were very helpful, bed was comfy. The common space is quite small. Plugs in room weren't very strurdy so chargers just fell out.
• Junu (5/5): Really small room, messy common area (Not a good value for the price) - Super simple but small room with bed and shower The room is really tiny with almost no interior design & the common area isn't so clean and tidy (felt more like a messy place, not a good hostel). Also breakfasts have been discontinued, so not sure why this location has high rating but other than its location I didn't think it was a good value. Better alternative (but further) tend to be stationed far from Hongdae, for example "Yes Oui Ja" hostel, which is cheaper and much better, I recommend that place instead if location isn't a big issue!
• Hayley (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kat (8/5): Excellent location - Excellent location - really close to everything, and really easy to get to (to find it on the first day the sign is up the stairs!). It’s also in a really good position for the DMZ tour collection spots :) Bunk beds had individual lights and plugs which was great. The host was really nice. We never had any issues with the bathrooms, and the other guests were great. We booked a twin room but were given a 4 bed room - but unfortunately it was small for 2, let alone 4 people. We had travel backpacks and there was almost no floor space to put them so we had to use the beds above as storage. When we checked in we weren’t told about the rooftop which would have been nice as we would have sat up there :( The kitchen is also really small, and although the worktop was tidy but the sides were really messy.
• Talulah (8/5): Very good -
• Malarecki (9/5): Superb - Perfect location Terrace not accessible
• Lorna (9/5): really good!! - The property is close to the subway and the animated streets of hongdae, you have everything you need close by! It's really clean and the host comes almost everyday to clean and help you if you need anything. My friend and I stayed for a month and it was really good! As my friend and I stayed for a month, the room was a little bit too small with all our stuff. You can hear the other guests at night which can be annoying, but it's never too much.
• Thomas (7/5): Good -
• Karrin (5/5): It was affordable and convenient location but I don’t feel like the photos are an accurate representation of the propert - Fantastic location close enough to hongdae street and public transport, but in a quite side lane so it was not loud outside. Great value for money. It does not really look like the photos, the upper level room shown on booking.com is full on laundry and random furniture, and the balcony is inaccessible. Also there are a lot of stairs if you are elderly or have big luggage I wouldn’t recommend.
• Daniel (8/5): Very good -
• Qiuhan (10/5): Recommended! My friend and I will come back next time. - The location is absolutely amazing!!!!! Close to the subway, stores, restaurants, and everything! The host was nice and helpful, helped us with the heavy luggages~ Price is affordable and reasonable for backpackers. Love it! The place itself I have no compliant. Some of the other people talking loudly after 11pm was quite annoying.
• らりっさ (8/5): would stay again - location was easy to find, check-in was quick and easy. The price for the stay was really good regarding the location. It was really convenient, just a short walk to the Hongdae Station but also within walking distance to central part of Hongdae, the restaurants and cafes. bed and pillow were comfortable and there were enough outlets in the room to charge phones, cameras at the same time. The Guesthouse was just as expected from the description and pictures. It would have been good though if there were a set 'quiet time'. I don't mind guests coming home late or taking showers after 11pm, but having full on conversations in their normal voice just outside the rooms way past 11pm was a bit... Fridays and Saturdays are party nights, but on the other days (Thursday and Sunday) it was quiet though. The window frames (inside the frames) and carpet in the entrance area could need some cleaning/vacuuming though.
• Edgaras (9/5): Superb - Good location
• Agata (9/5): Superb - The service and location are perfect. I highly recommend. Perfect base for exploring! Close to the center and to a restaurant with Korean grill.
• Camille (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sanchez (9/5): Superb -
• Peijie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Belindalee (8/5): I would recommend this guesthouse for anyone looking to stay in hongdae. - The room was very nice. My friend and I were able to have the room to ourselves which gave us more privacy. The guesthouse was situated to everything. Very close to the AK plaza and many other stores as well as Hongdae street. The owner was very lovely which made our stay just a bit better.
• Paul (9/5): Superb - Nice and helpful host. Prefect location!
• Ikram (8/5): Very good -
• Anais (10/5): 100% recommend this guest house - The guest house is very homie, you have everything you need (fridge, drinking water tap, boiler, small kitchen, hairdryers, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo), the location is excellent, 6 minutes walk to the metro (with airport line) and buses. The room is small but as we spent our days out, it was not a problem, especially for the price that was the most competitive for the area. Each bathroom is shared with only two rooms and it was always super clean. Nothing.
• Natalie (9/5): Lovely host, amenities and location! -
• Kim (8/5): Very good - Accommodating host and good location Small room and towel but manageable
• Alice (10/5): Exceptional - the owner was so kind and helpful, the house is clean, if I have a chance to go to Korea again I will stay in this place.
• Justin (6/5): Pleasant -
• Luca (9/5): Superb -
• Edward (3/5): Poor -
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 悪い点としては、入口の看板が小さく、少しわかりにくかったのと、階段がグラグラしていて怖かったです。 スタッフは優しい笑顔が印象的で、とても良かったです。他の宿泊者とも仲良くなることができ、ゲストハウスならではの良さも味わえたかなと思います！
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This guesthouse is in the PERFECT location! Very close to the subway station and a short walk to the central shopping area in Hongdae. Peter is a very kind host and we enjoyed our stay here! Would recommend and would definitely stay here again!
• ash (10/5): great experience - nice location, clean room
• YI JOU (10/5): 很方便的民宿 - 民宿主人英文很好佈告欄有中文說明，毛巾使用1000韓元ㄧ條用到退房，離弘大捷運7號出口很方便，但要自行把行李扛，民宿主人很客氣，以曰客和外國客人多
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 很不錯的Guesthouse。位置離弘大機鐵站很近。上樓要行樓梯，但民宿主人很好人，在我們離開時幫我們抬行李下樓。
• Rumpaipan (10/5): - สะอาดมาก ห้องน้ำก็สะอาด เจ้าของก็ใจดี เดินได้ไม่ถือว่าไกลจากใต้ดินทางออก 8 มาก
• Hui (10/5): - 鄰近機鐵及地鐵站，地點方便 亦在弘大商圈，有好多餐廳cafe而且有些都很晚才關門，晚上亦有很多活動消遣，例如機鋪，射擊場。老闆很友善，會幫忙拎行李。房間整潔安靜，會換床單被套，很舒適。下次會再去！
• mitsuho (6/5): 格安だから仕方ないのか - 夜中に帰ってくる人の物音や朝方にシャワーやドライヤーを使う音がうるさくて寝られなかった。浴室とトイレは少し清潔感にかけた。タオルはレンタル料をとられるので持っていった方が良い。
• Jillian (10/5): Great location I need Hongdae - Great location comfortable beds Close to the subway
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice place! - The manager,Peter, is very kind to us. He help us to book a bus and skii ticket for us. He paid in advance for us by his credit card and we paid cash to him. This helps us a lot ! The bed is so comfortable and clean but the room on the second floor is very small. The restroom is clean. The door is very safe. :)
• azu (8/5): 弘大で遊ぶのはとてもいい - 駅からも近くて夜遅くても安心です！オーナーさんもフレンドリーでした。また弘大に行くときは行きたいです！
• kana (10/5): 最高のゲストハウス☆ - すごく生活しやすく、楽しい旅行になりました^^!!! 社長さんもすごくいい方で、話してて楽しかったです！！ また行きます!!!!!!!!
