Great experience. 10/10 would reccomend

Great place to stay. Very cheap and it’s such a cozy place. I payed $70 CAD for 4 nights which would be like less than 1 night somewhere in Canada. So I’d say pretty worth it. I stayed in the women’s dorm with 2 bunk beds and everyone was very respectful. There’s privacy curtains so it feels like you have your own place. The house has everything you need and it’s in such a great location with a night right by and lots of places to eat. Everything was contactless checkin I just texted the boss when I got there and told him what bed I chose which was nice and convenient. Would definitely recommend.

Can’t think of anything. I guess my back was a little sore after sleeping so maybe better mattresses would be nice. But regardless I would definitely come again.

Superb stay at the heart of Hongdae

the free breakfast saved us from going out early in the cold winter mornings. breakfast time starts 8 AM but they allowed us to take our breakfast early on days when we have early tours. we can use the laundry facility by just paying 1000 won. location is right at the heart of Hongdae. room was clean, warm and comfortable. near line 2 subway and airport railroad. They accommodated to store our luggage before our check-in as we toured Busan for a couple of days.

our bathroom had plumbing problems, we didn't report it as water eventually goes down after some time but it got worse even if we already took out hairs that could've caused slow water flow. using the plunger somehow worked though.

Amazing value for money and all in all a pleasant guesthouse experience!

Great location, easy to use and access, all basic comforts are available.

The floor heating can be a bit too warm, even though I understand the need for it in winter. It is also a bit worn down and could use some updating.

Great and would come again

Location is great. Would advise to take exit 7 as its the fastest to the hostel. Bed was comfortable. Everything was clean and well stocked. They make sure the atmosphere is great.

I had a upper bunkbed and the stairs are quite narrow and thin so in the dark you have to be careful if you want to get down.

Perfect location for going to hongdae, day or night. Both bus and train stations are close and it's easy to get to anywhere in the city. The breakfast ingredients that are provided are great and the laundry machine and dryer were very helpful to have

A lot of people left things during their stay in the rooms and it's very messy.. the fridge also looked like it was full of food that wasn't sorted in a while

Location wise, very good. Staff, very helpful. Room, clean and comfy bed.

Facilities, i wish there is separated washing and dryer machines for staff use and customer use. So we don't get in their way doing house keeping.

Great accommodation & facilities - we really enjoyed the location in Hongdae and would stay again. Bonus of have a washing machine and bedroom balcony

Everything was really good apart from a minor issue of the bed sheet not fitting & some inconsiderate neighbours.

Even though it wasn’t the most comfortable it was still great and fun

For the money you pay you get a lot and the location was amazing

It can be a bit noisy at night and the beds weren’t comfortable at all

Guesthouse is in a great location. There are tons of nice restaurants and shops nearby. The staff is really kind. Room had heated floor and refrigerator inside. Overall, it was quite comfy.

There was a strong, unpleasant smell from the pipes all the time. Also, the bathroom was quite rusty.

What was the highlight of Able Guesthouse Hongdae

Overall, good for the price. A bit small, but had everything you need.

1. The location was quite good, with easy access to HongIk University Station (Airport, Line 2, Gyeongui Jungang line), as well as a number of buses. 2. The floor was heated, which could be either a plus or minus as I had to be more careful about what I put on the floor. 3. There were things like towels, toothpaste, toilet paper in the hallway, which provided easy access when I needed more, without having to ask the staff for more each time. 4. The bed was quite big and comfortable. 5. There were a lot of hangers to hang your clothes. There was also a hair drier and extended power bank thing, as well as a fridge in the hallway that you could use.

1. I'm not sure if the room was drier than other hotels or if it was something about the bedsheets/blankets, but... my skin isn't used to the dry winters of Korea and my legs would get super itchy in the evenings. I was a bit confused because I stayed at a different hotel for a night during this period and my legs didn't get itchy where it did here. 2. The water would sort of go cold once in a while when I showered despite being set to hot. 3. I wouldn't say that the room was super super clean - I did see some things that should've been vacuumed on the ground when I first entered. 4. The room is quite small so there is no closet inside the room. Instead, there's an enclosed balcony-type thing that has a clothing rack and hangers. This was slightly inconvenient as it would be cold. Also, the desk was super small... ? 5. You have to be really careful when closing the doors to the outside balcony-type thing. I wasn't entirely sure how to so for a few nights, it wasn't closed properly. So it was cold at night. Also, I don't know if the window at the washroom was closed properly when I first came in. I didn't touch it but it was always a bit cold in the washroom.

Really nice area and super simple check in and check out process. Convenient for staying in Hongdae.

The bathroom was very moldy but other than that mostly everything was fine.
