Guest reviews for Pillowsopher Hongdae
"Excellent location in the middle of restaurants and near shopping. Cozy room with amenities provided including water bottles and toiletries. Easy check-in and luggage storage much appreciated."
"Would be nice to have laundry facilities on site, though there are 24-hour coin laundries nearby. Would also be nice if there was staff response after 7pm at night available."
"The contactless check-in process was very smooth. You receive the building and room codes ahead of time, which makes arrival easy, especially if you’re coming in late. The location is excellent and it just a short walk from Hongik University Station and very close to the Hongdae walking streets with lots of nightlife, shops, and restaurants. The room itself is small, but it was very clean. One carry-on suitcase fits comfortably in the room, and if you have larger luggage you can store it in the monitored lounge area."
"The rooms are quite small and not really meant for spending much time in. It’s more of a place to sleep while you’re out exploring Hongdae and the rest of Seoul. The entire stay is contactless, so I didn’t see any staff during check-in or check-out. This wasn’t an issue for me, but some travelers might prefer having staff available."
"The location was super convenient, and a short walk from the central area of Hongdae. It was a self check-in and check-out service, but we were provided detailed instructions that made the process seamless and quick! The room was very comfortable, clean and definitely spacious enough to fit all 4 of our luggages. We loved the ambience and atmosphere of the room, and would recommend this to anyone seeking affordable, but quality accommodation."

"Clean boutique minimalist room—bed nice, bathroom nice, everything nice"

"Simplicity of entry and exit. Just needed a bed for the night and that’s what it provided."
"Aucun."
"This is the most convenient place to stay. If you travel alone, best choice ever."
"Aucun."
"It’s very clean and the location is great. The room is just right for a solo traveler but I’m not sure for more. It basically got everything that I need."
"If you live on the street side then yeah the street sound could be loud. But I slept well personally"
"The location is superb, close to everything. The facilities are also great and clean. The soundproofing is quite ok except for only one night with very loud guests downstairs. I personally prefer the self check-in quick and efficient! It would be perfect if the lounge area has a restroom :)."
"The mattress is a bit hard for those who prefer a soft mattress."
"Perfect location between Hongdae and Yeonnam-dong — less than a 5-minute walk to the train station and airport bus stop. The room is clean and exactly as shown in the pictures, and there’s an elevator in the building. Luggage storage is also available before check-in and after check-out. Everything was great!"
"Aucun."
"Amazing location, right in the heart of hongdae. Close to the subway station. Many good food and cafe options close by. Clean and towel change offered every day."
"Small but had everything you need."

Steven Yangyang Bookers Beach Motel
"Sparkling clean and was able to use the body board at the beach. There was also a surf board, but missed the spring high tide- so didn’t use it. Fell asleep relaxing on the hammock in the afternoon- was perfect!"

"Ruhige Lage, geräumiges Haus, das Bett in der unteren Etage bequem. Schöne Umgebung. Nicht weit zum Nationalpark."
"깨끗하게 잘 관리하고 있는 것 같아요. 주변 먹거리도 많아 음식점 선택시 의견 다툼도 없고.. 전반적으로 만족 했어요. 조식 이벤트도 좋았어요.."
"A cute guesthouse with coffee down in the lobby. I arrived a bit too early, but I was allowed to put my backpack in my room and then come back. I never actually ran into anyone that worked there, but they were great about communicating with any questions I had via Booking. Location had a few good bus stops nearby. Taxis are easy to grab. The room was quite large."

"무엇보다 정말 친절하셨어요. 그리고 쾌적하고 좋았구요. 아침까지 포함된 가격이라 감사히 잘 먹었습니다. 그런데 이왕이면 1층 로비에 있는 커피 머신이 아침식사제공되는 장소에 있으면 더 좋을 것 같의 고려해봐주세요. 다른 건 모두 대만족입니다. 또 울산 갈일 있으면 호텔 치즈 이용할 겁니다. 아참... 침대에 전기담요를 깔아서 침상만들기를 해두어서 정말 지져가며 푸욱 잘 수 있었는데... 이런 서비스는 여기에서만 받을 수 있는 것 같아요."
