Studio 41

Located about 10 min walk from Hongik station exit 2 & 3. This hostel is in a peaceful neughbourhood but with 5 min walk you could access to lots of eatery, conveniently stores and also the famous Hongik business center. The staff are Taiwanese and could speak Mandarin. They are helpful and will help you if you have any question on travel in Korea. There’s also a guy who will recommend you the restaurants local usually go and also shopping tips in Myeongdong. Would highly recommend this hostel.

I'm a returning guest of Studio41st. I checked in when Studio41st was newly opened. The rooms were nice and well decorated. It is a studio with private bathroom. I loved the interior and the bed. It was very comfortable. Breakfast was included in the fee. Off Season, it's less expensive. and it's quite popular among tourists. The staff often changes which is kinda sad but I love to meet new people. If there was a problem, day or night staff immediately helped. They have a phone for international calls. and cats infront of the housing. The accomodation is well located, on the opposite side of the clubs and bar of Hongdae. It's close to the station , coffee shops and restaurants.

My friend and I decided to stay here because a friend of ours recommended it. We found it fine from Hongik station with a little help from Google maps, about a 10-15min walk depending on how much luggage you're bringing with you. The manager was friendly and very accommodating, especially when we ran late at check out. It's in a residential area (so nice and quiet at night) and about a 15min walk to where all the shopping/food and exciting things are at in Hongdae which was good. So we got the best of both suburban and night life. Overall we had a good experience, and we would stay here again.
