Miss Jin picked us up and dropped us off at Hongik station exit 5. Very helpful, especially when we came home with heavy suitcases. Good accommodation all available and we were allowed to check in at 12. Will not regret staying here. Thank you Miss Jin for welcoming us.

I had a great stay in Wow Hills Guesthouse!! The owner had fetched me at Hongik Subway Station despite that it rained hard on that day!! He was prompt in replying my queries!! He is nice, understanding and has good communication skill. The guesthouse is clean: the dorm, toilet, and laundry room. Lots of free food inside the refrigerator. Few hours before checking out, one of my dorm mates, gave me Samuel Kim second mini album!! 😍😍😍 I will never forget my stay here... It is near Hongik University and subway station:) I will surely recommend this guesthouse to those who would like to stay in Hongdae! 😍😍

Jin was very accessible, responding to all texts immediately. She picked us up at the train, which was so nice. Everything was very clean and she supplied whatever we needed. We had the "suite" , which is a private 2 bedroom, bath and kitchenette om the first floor. If you value privacy, you will rent rhis area. The bed was hard for me and it could be noisy at night, but all in all a good location, spotless, accommodating, and a great value. Thank you, Jin.

Great location and super helpful host Jin who went out of her way to ease our trip. The hill leading to the guesthouse is pretty manageable unless you are carrying heavy luggage. The building is older and there are some signs of gentle wear and tear, but Jin made a great effort to make it comfortable, and it provides excellent value given the price, location, and amount of space for our family of 4. I would stay here again on my next trip.

The guesthouse is up the hill and a narrow set of stairs. The rooftop area is nice. The room itself is clean. However there is a lot of mold in the washrooms and showers due to ventilation issues. I’m not sure if the owner knows. I mentioned it and they said sorry).

Price is extremely reasonable and I think the place is great for it. Except… the bathrooms are pretty moldy. I think it’s difficult since there isn’t a lot of ventilation and the showers aren’t sectioned off, so the water gets everywhere in the bathroom. I would have liked to know this before booking.

Super friendly hosts. Thank you, Jin! Upstairs was not so much as described or pictured, but overall we appreciated our room and it was about as expected for the pricing tier and Asian lodging in general. Should try for a softer pillow, and small table lamps in the bedroom versus the glary ceiling fixture.
