Hostel Cleo Seoul Hongdae Reviews

All good! Love the location and services; however, the bathroom does not separate the dry and wet zones. It is not a big deal because the floor dries quickly.

The location is fantastic, only a 7-10 minute walk from Hongdae Station, which made exploring super convenient. The room itself was a bit compact, and we could just about manage to open our luggage. However, despite the size, our overall stay was quite pleasant.

For the price and location it was good but you can hear the cars during the night

Pros: Love that the room has a large window with blinds. The bed is comfortable (not the extremely soft type that sinks in) & love the idea of having 2 separate quilts (no more snatching of your partner's blanket). There were many hooks & sufficient hangers to hang your clothes. Water bottles were provided upon check-in & power socket was international friendly. Simple breakfast was provided. Luggage storage was allowed too. Cons: Only downside was the placement of the shower head which makes the entire bathroom very wet after each bath. Overall: Perfect place to stay for price point with clean rooms & location was of a reasonable walking distance (the hilly parts weren't too bad either). Will consider returning!

Nice Staff, love the location. Good Value for money given this price. Not nosiy at all even I was staying on 2/F.

Accessible, but since it’s 3 blocks from the busy area, the location is ok.

Friendly staff and they are helpful and kind

The location is great, less than a 10-minute walk to the metro station. The rooms are on the smaller side, but they were spotlessly clean. The front desk service was also good.

The front desk staff Mr. Billy is so kind to teach me where to buy sim card and find interesting sightseeing spots around. He is good at English and our communication was very smooth. I highly appreciated his professional customer services. The room was clean, with shampoo ,hair conditioner and body wash, the room is big enough to open a suitcase and the window is so big that I can enjoy the beautiful view. Hot and cold water is served 24 hours on the pantry on B1, apple juice or orange juice and biscuits are served during breakfast time. The hostel was not far away from the subway station. There is a nearby famous cafe called Antique Coffee where you can take pictures with beautiful cakes and flowers. There are two cute selected shops 'STAIN20' and 'made by' selling funny kitchen items and stationary nearby.

I chose to stay near Hongdae for my concert trip, as it's an area popular with younger crowds. While it was a bit on the pricier side, the surrounding area was incredibly convenient and felt very safe. There are plenty of great dining, drinking, and shopping options right on your doorstep, with popular stores like GU just a few steps away.

Excellent service, staff guided me to the room and explained everything. Next day I could leave my luggage at the reception so I could explore Hongdae. Loved the basement area! I missed razor, electric kettle and cup in the room.

Too small for the room only can put my baggage and that’s it

Great little room, very warm and cozy, shower works well enough, tv is good, but no Netflix, if you want to watch some thing on the Tv bring your computer to connect, over all very good and we loved our stay

It’s too small with the same price as France
