Overall Ratings & Reviews Pencil Guesthouse Hongdae

So close to Hongdae Exit 3 and several cozy coffee shops. The guesthouse itself is very clean, comfort, and good wifi. The owner/receptionist is very reachable and helpful. I'd like to stay here again next time!

It’s such an awesome experience for me. I traveled with my husband. I asked not to stay on the high floor and they gave us on the 3rd floor anyway that’s ok even it’s a bit hard as we had to drag our luggages.... but I asked them bout the direction to the place and they didn’t answer that through email and by the time we arrived, we got lost. It was 11pm and we were out of nowhere. We followed the Naver map but it’s totally far away from the exact place. Fortunately, we found the place and we check-in around 12am... so far the service is good and the room is clean and tidy. We will come again one day

In a good location There is a garden in front of the house.

Close to the train station and shopping area. The room is clean, spacious, livable, very nice, friendly, lovely.

Good service, clean place and near MRT.

The room looked like the pictures. Near from Hongik Station & cafes.

Location's good, only 10 min walk from Hongdae Station Exit 3. They provide a youtube video for direction to find the place, very thoughtful! And they sent me emails about my room number, door password beforehand so it's very convenient because the reception staff is not 24hr. That way you can just check yourself in no matter what time you arrive. I stayed in 4-bed-female only room and the room is nice with private bathroom in it. There are aircon, hairdryer and a big refrigerator in the room! They provides towel, soap, shampoo and toothpaste. The downside is this place has 4 floors and no elevator. So if your room is on 4th floor like me and your luggage is heavy, it's kinda difficult bringing it to the room 😅. And they also don't have la ocker in the room so even though it might be safe but I think it's wise if you don't leave your luggage unlocked while you go out. Other than that, this place is awesome, it has a water dispenser every 2 floors I think, so you don't have to go all the way to the kitchen if you're thirsty. They provides iron and ironing board, tissue and trash bag at accessible place so you can use/take them anytime you need. The dining space is cozy and for breakfast they provide coffee, tea, 2 kinds of cereals, milk, bread, butter, jam, and boiled eggs. They have microwave too in the kitchen. So I'd love to stay here again but I hope they can install an elevator in the future 😁

One of the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed! Super comfy placed, helpful staffs and nice breakfast. Just if you bring large suitcase this hotel doesn't have lift. Also the surrounding is very cozy at the central of Hongdae

Clean, safe, easy to find near food sources.

Good and friendly staff. Easy to find using their guideline information

Near the train station, exit 3, very warm, fragrant, comfortable bed, do not need to carry the key, because the key to enter the room. Staff are attentive When the first day was very cold, I felt fever, I took medicine with no elevator, but luckily got a third floor room.

What a lovely place! I will go to korea and stay at this nice hostel again
