My friends and I stayed in the Family Room meant for 3-4 people. However, this room is spacious enough to take in a bigger group. There is actually an attic as well. Besides a worn out mattress and an electric fan, there was nothing much.
We had a great view on the 19th floor. Not that we had much time to enjoy the view, it was a bonus to us nonetheless. :) We also had a PC and free wireless in the room. The password was pasted on the wall. So much for privacy eh. ;p Other than that, breakfast was a loaf of bread left at the kitchen counter. Good for those who prefer not to join other guests at the common area. Drinking water was abundant and we could refill our bottles in the morning.
The toilet was in decent condition. Nothing fanciful though. Only toilet paper and a bottle of shampoo were provided. This was lacking as compared to other guesthouses in Seoul. Usually, shower gel, hand soap and toothpaste are part of the package.
The room was cleaned on alternate days. Basically, rubbish was cleared and the floor swept. The toilet floor could have been washed though.
Location and safety are my top considerations when I select my accommodation, followed by cleanliness.
In this aspect, Hongdae Guesthouse fits the bill. Being next to Hongik Univ Station and accessible by the Airport Commuter Train, the location is excellent! The security lock worked fine too.
At 44SGD per person per night, this may not be the cheapest deal around, but I would still rank it 4 out of 5.
