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.

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.

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.

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.

대체로 만족스러웠고 또 가고 싶어요.

공용공간이나 자유롭게 생활하는 분위기가 좋았습니다. 다음에 또 오고 싶어요. 역과 다소 멀지 않아서 좋았고 연남파출소 앞이라 조용한 동네에 위치해있어요. 직원분들은 친절을 넘어 매우 친절하게 대해주셨고 여행 숙소에 적합했다고 느껴요. 다만 도미토리방안은 공기청정기가 필요해보여요. 환기가 안되고 공기가 답답답했습니다.
