Kimchee Hongdae Guesthouse - Hostel

bed hard like rock , cheap but damn

The hostel was really dirty and smells really bad. The sheets were old and smelly and had holes in them. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom. The there was no bath towel provided. The “towel” provided was a hand towel and there was only 3 hand towels given to us when we had 4 in our party. The shared bathroom was very dirty and old. On our first night, a drink young girl climb into our top bunk bed while one of our team went to the bathroom. Her boyfriend came to get her after she made a lot of noise in trying to chase us out of the room. The door lock was not secure and made the place unsafe. We checked out with only one night stay. The hostel did not refund our money for the 5 remaining nights. This hotel is really crappy and not livable.

Staff were friendly, but the pictures are very misleading. Blanket was scratchy, window made some banging noise I had to fix, wifi didn't work in the room. Generally pretty unpleasant place to spend the night.

Untuk harga segini, ya wajar banget lah ya. Bahkan harganya jauh diantara harga hostel lain. Saya yang memang cuma numpang tidur 4-6 jam jadi ga masalah. Tapi bagi kamu yang bakal lama di hotel ini, pikirin lagi deh. Ruangannya bau apek, ga keurus. Sudah banyak hostel di Seoul saya coba, ini paling buruk, tapi juga harga paling murah saya bayar 110.000 an waktu itu kalau mau tambah 60.000 an lagi bisa dapat yang lebih baik juga. Oia, lokasi juga kurang strategis.

Kita cek in terlalu malam sekitar jam 11 karena landing di bandara jam 10. Awalnya petugas bilang saya hanya memesan 1 kamar, padahal jelas di aplikasi onlie ada 2 kamar yang dipesan. Petugas memaksa untuk pesan 1 kamar lagi, tetapi saya ngotot untuk tidak mau membayar dan sudah siap untuk email pihak online menanyakan kekacauan ini. Tidak lama petugas minta maaf dan bilang ada kesalahan, akhirnya kita diberikan kamar privat. 1 kamar 2 beds selama 6 hari. Awalnya kita pesan yang mix female. Alhamdulillah kamar di upgrade tanpa bayar lagi.

This hostel is good value for money! Near Hhongik university station exit 2, there are 2 convenience store nearby like only around 100m. When you ho inside the hostel, go down to the lobby which also serves as dining room. When you I was checked in, the receptionits asked whether I need towel or not. I was on single room 403 and there was total 5 floor. The room is small as expected from the cheap price, but surprisingly there was ac in my room! On 4th floor, there is 1 toilet combined with shower for man, 1 toilet combined with shower for woman and 1 toilet for both, so there is total 3 toilet. Well, overall I am satisfied with this hostel!

Posisi hostel 15-20 menit jalan kaki ke station hongik. Kamar saya di lantai 4, tanpa lift, jadi harus naik turun tangga, Tidak ada kunci loker jadi harus beli sendiri. stafnya stand by. Tidak ada matras hangat di tempat dimusim dingin.

Jaraknya agak lumayan dari station tidak sesuai perkiraan, Dapat kamar juga di lantai 4 jadi kalau menginap disini siap-siap angkat koper karena tidak ada lift dan staffnya juga tidak membantu untuk angkat-angkat.

Great! Location near by subway.

Kamarnya bersih, apalagi kamar mandinya, bersih, luas, kalah hotel bintang 3. Harganya juga sangat murah, dekat dengan hongik university exit 9

Everyone in Kimchee is very welcoming especially the Korean guy receptionist. He's the coolest! It's a good place for backpackers and with great value. Will definitely book again soon!

I had a hard time looking for the exact location of the guesthouse. Also, I availed a single room but some travelers are very noisy and I can still hear it even after 11PM.

It's near the station and very easy to access the transportation.

Great hostel for backpacker.

A not really good, rules sometimes not that strict, lots of disturbing at night.

I was so comfortable stay at Kimchee hongdae, I hope sometime, I will be back in there,In fact this is my second time I stay in Kimchee hongdae.

Toilet is too dirty and uncomfortable

ไม่ควรไปพัก ที่พักเดินไกลจากซับเวย์ ถ้าหน้าหนาวนี่เดินจนหน้าชา ห้องแคบ ฝาผนังบางมากๆ ห้องข้างๆ ชั้นบน คุยกันได้ยินหมด นอนไม่ได้เลย จองไว้ 3 คืน ทนนอน (ลืมตา) ไปคืนนึง วันรุ่งขึ้นต้องเก็บของย้ายไปหาที่นอนที่พักอื่น ยอมเสียเงินทิ้งไปเลย เพราะนอนไม่ได้จริงๆ แต่สตาฟผู้หญิงตัวเล็กๆก็โอเค ช่วยยกกระเป๋า
