What was the highlight of Hongdae Pencil Guesthouse

Totally recommend this guesthouse.

The guesthouse was great. Everything was very nice and clean. There were many utilities such as a laundry room, a steaming iron, hair dryer, etc... The staff was super friendly, helpful, and their English and Chinese was perfect. The location was very close to the subway and the area was very nice and lively.

The guesthouse had many rules to follow, so it felt a little bit too much

It was a great place to rest after walking around in Seoul. The guesthouse was not too far from the subway exit. The roo

Security. There are password locked doors so I know it’s safe - from the entrance to our own room.

Maybe a sign on the building would help. Although there was an email for the directions on how to get there and the necessary password, maybe a few signs on the road or another one on the side of the building would help it be seen faster.

Great location, but not the best for a good nights sleep.

Breakfast was good. Korean staff were very friendly, although Chinese staff misunderstood my concern and was a little rude. Location was good, close to EXIT 3 of Hongdae station.

There was a dog constantly barking all night every night during my stay. Then in the mornings there was constant noise of the construction site on the building next to the hostel.

I've stayed here about 4 or 5 times, both by myself and with others. I'd always recommend it.

The location is fantastic and conveniently close to shops, restaurants, cafes and the subway. Because it's down a side street it doesn't feel too noisy at night though.

No elevator but a lot of buildings like this in Korea don't have them. Just be aware if you have big or heavy luggage!

the location is really convenient, very close to Hongdae subway station. some staff is very friendly and helpful.

stayed for 12 days and my room was not cleaned for all my stay (although I always put the sign out on time), they just placed new towels on my bed, that’s it. since the room is already pretty dusty it was really gross towards the end of my stay and I cleaned by myself as much as possible. the room towards the street is pretty noisy at night. not my first stay here but unfortunately definitely my last.

Works in a pinch

Location is great. So clean. Nice decor. Cute reception girl.

Shower got cold real fast. This in the dead of winter. Bed was hard and blankets thin. Breakfast very plain. All would be fine if not for the high price.

Staffs are very accomodating.

Staffs are very accomodating. They kept awake until 2am and helped us directed on how to get home without the subway. They also helped us deliver food at night. Always greeting us with a smile. :) The breakfast provided was good. We all enjoyed eating meals on their pantry. The location is superb! Very near the subway station, convenience stores and restaurants.

We checked in late so there was no proper introduction/briefing. Although instructions how to self check in were given beforehand, we still figured some things out on our now.

If I travel again, this place will be on my list.

- The location is superb. The location of the property was really near to Hongdae Univ. Station Exit 3. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk to the guesthouse. And also the property very close to Hongdae, really convenient for shopping. - The room was clean and neat, also the bathroom was very clean. The room size not so big but not too small. It's very perfect for 2 persons. - The staffs at the property were very helpful. One night my room got the problem with the boiler, the duty staff was very nice and helpful. He did everything to fix the issues. All the staffs are able to speak English, so no worry about communication.

- This place might be not suited for elders because they didn't have the elevator service.
