Ok

Overall a good place to stay.Breakfast was basic but it’s fine.Toilets were almost dirty but in the middle of my stay they started cleaning more often.A good place if you’re traveling solo or on a budget!

A nice guesthouse.

The staff was Nice.
It was warm but a bit stiffy and small (but that's because of my height)
lounge was quiet.

Dirty and rundown hostel

Mattress was terrible. It was so thin and uneven.

I waited15 min for check-in because the check-in staff left the hostel. That was unprofessional.

The 2nd floor hallway smelled like sewage.

Bathrooms and rooms were not cleaned. The bathroom was cleaned only once during my 3 night stay. The trash can in the bathroom were overflowing and yet were not emptied!!! Disgusting.

People kept leaving the outer door and the room door open. The outer door lock on the 2nd floor did not work properly. A huge security concern!!!

I will not return to this hostel.

A great choice

This hotel is really great for solo travel, as it's a very social hostel! I had a great time here. The facilities are probably about average for the price and area, but the staff are quite friendly!

Awesome hostel in a great location

I needed a place to stay at before moving into my dorm, and I picked out this place. It was definitely the best choice I made.
I was able to meet people from all over the world and make new friends! The atmosphere was wonderful. I had a lot of fun during my stay!

The dorm rooms were clean, and the bathrooms were clean. I really liked the make up room for the girls.

Eggs, toast, and jelly were available for you to have breakfast. There was a small kitchen for cooking, and they had the utensils you need.

The staff was really friendly. They were always willing to help us do things like order food delivery or suggest places to go. When it was time to move to my dorm, they helped us call a taxi.

The house is in a great location in hongdae. It is perfect if you are into street music, shopping, and the night life in general.

I really enjoyed my stay, so I'll probably be back soon!

No thanks

Location is perfect, the hostel is cute. But I will not stay here again due to other guests. I did not sleep for three days, and I had to get up early for tours. This hostel is very social, which is fine. But the days I was there, the other guests were having parties and yelling late in the night. The last night, when the other guest was still yelling at 3am I was really considering to check in at another place down the road. The common room is right next to the dorms. Staff is on duty 10am to 11pm

Nice staff, good location

It has three storage hostel in the building. I stay at lower floor. It has around 14-18 people stay at few room but only 1 bath room (wash basin inside). Therefore, it is so busy in some rush hour. Or you moving to the other floor. Mix Dorm's space just acceptable. Nice staff! The breakfast time is 6-10am. However, I haven't it until 8am when I stay 2 night there. May be need some help.

Staff don't make this hostel stand out

CRBP is in a great location, you've got shopping and nightlife near Hongik university, with quick and easy access to several subway lines. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend staying here mostly because of the staff. They are friendly enough (usually said hello and goodbye) however, when I asked a question or for help I was given an answer and the staff didn't try to find a solution when the answer was I don't know. I stay at places more than once if the staff go above and beyond. For example, if I need to print something, then it would be nice to use the printer at the hostel, and pay per page, if necessary, rather than the staff telling me to go to an internet cafe to print 2 pages.

The area that people can gather and watch tv or eat is also very, very small. The staff would sometimes sit on the couch and watch tv, and also use the kitchen table to work on their laptops. If location if all that matters when finding a place to stay while travelling, then CRBP is good for that.

Regarding the cleanliness of the room, I found a receipt under the bed from September. The linens are clean, and the area by the mirror is dusted, but they don't clean the rooms thoroughly after guests have left. There are also some finishing touches they need to work on, like providing trash bins that you can open by stepping on it, rather than using your hand.

很吸引的價錢，但在眼不見的位置是很不乾淨的旅館

必須要親身在十一時以後才可check in, 即使在以此，你已和前枱登記了，你還是要在早上十一時至晚上十一時checkin.
床與牆中間全都是塵，什麼都要自己做，包括鋪床，check out 時要自己把床單年去洗。
雖然說是冷氣房，但房間並沒有冷氣。不要相信旅館發給你的地圖，那不是最更新的，附近有工程進行，最好去問問別人。枕頭薄得跟沒有枕頭琴樣，要把枕頭對摺才可以用。
但它的價錢真的很吸引

Perfect Location

This is my third time staying in Crossroad. It is located perfectly near Hongdae station (no matter Seoul Metro Line No.2 or the Airport Railway) with various choices of restros and shops. Staff was friendly and helpful. And you could meet and chat with travellers of various nationalities. It would be perfect if you are a budget traveller. One tip for guests in the future, bring a padlock (or padlocksss) then you can store some of your heavy valuables in the locker in the bedroom. They have sufficient number of lockers.

予約してたのに部屋がなかった！！

エクスペディアにて予約して、完了のメールなども受信しておりましたが、実際にチェックインしに行ったところ、予約がされておりませんでした。エクスペディアからゲストハウス側へ予約情報は来ていたが、遅い時間に入った予約だったので処理ができなかったと原因を説明されました。後日、実際にエクスペディアのカスタマセンターへ予約の時間が遅い場合にこのような問題が起きやすいのかを聞きましたが、そのような事実はなく、ゲストハウス側の怠慢であることが発覚しました。いきなり部屋がないと言われ途方にくれましたが、ゲストハウス側からの他の宿泊先の紹介などはなく、返金はできないため、どうにかスタッフ用の部屋を使用してほしいと言われ、他に行くあてもなかったためとりあえずスタッフ用の部屋を利用することにしました。が、本当にスタッフの方がさっきまで使用していた部屋で、ものが散乱し、生活臭もきつく、とても快適な部屋とは言えませんでした。翌日の朝には他のスタッフの方がこの部屋を私が利用していることを知らずに、部屋に入ってきたりと、プライバシー面でも問題ありでした。

Cozy hostel with helpful staff

The hostel is located in a perfect area in Hongdae which you can go to the most bustling area in minutes and take rest in a quiet place afterward. And you can walk to right to get to the airport express or to left to get to the ordinary city subway (Line No. 2). Both takes about 5 minutes. The environment and atmosphere inside the hostel are cozy and comfortable that you will just think that you are staying at home. CEO and his team are also helpful and nice. Generally speaking, highly recommended!

좋아요!

우선 여러 후기를 찾아봤을 때 친절하지 않다는 이야기가 많아 많이 걱정했는데
후기의 내용들과 다르게 정말 친절하셨고 또한 예약을 하고나서 확인과 관련된 전화와 찾아가는법에 대한 메일을 보내주셔서 정말 편하게 보냈습니다.
8인실에 머물렀는데 생각보다 깨끗했습니다.(여행객들의 짐이 많이 널부러져있었어요)
약간 아쉬운 점이 있다면 제가 지냈던 층은 화장실이 2개인데 반해 방은 4개라서 시간대를 잘못 맞추게 되면 화장실 사용이 어려울 수가 있겠더군요 그러나 화장실 또한 매우 깨끗하고 세면도구(샴푸,바디로션,비누)가 기본적으로 제공되서 좋았습니다~!

宿泊費を返してほしいレベル

今回の宿泊は一人だったのでシングルルームを予約、フライト時間的に到着が23時をすぎる予定だったので事前の連絡をしていました。すると当日に自分でチェックインするようにと、ゲストハウスに入るためのパスワードと部屋番号とパスワードが書かれたメールが送られてきました。しかし到着してみるとメールに記載されていた部屋番号が見当たらず。フロントに行くと、メールとは違う部屋番号の書かれた紙が貼られておりパスワードも書かれていました。こんなに晒されてパスワードの意味あるのかwと思いつつもパスワードを入力してみるとロックが解除されません。その後廊下で出会った宿泊者の方々に助けてもらいスタッフらしき人を呼んでくれてロック解除、なんとパスワードが全く違かったようです。その方々がいなかったら宿泊できなかったでしょう、まさにコリアンクオリティー。シャワールームも清潔感は無く私は使えませんでしたが、部屋は寒くもなくまずまず快適でした。ですがもう泊まりたくありません。

새로운 사람들과 만나기를 원한다면 이곳으로 가세요^^

지방 게스트하우스에는 한국인이 더 많았었는데 서울이다보니 생각보다 외국인들이 많아서
처음에는 당황스러웠었다.
하지만 사장님이 한국인이다보니 의사소통하는데는 큰 지장이 없었고 3박4일 짧은 시간이었지만
다른 나라 사람들과 교류를 할 수 있었다는 것이 좋았었고 제가 간 날이 새해를 맞이하는 날까지였기 때문이었는지 1월1일을 게스트하우스 사람들과 같이 보낼 수 있었다는 점도 참 좋았었다.
숙박하는 방은 전체적으로 깔끔했고 인터넷으로 예약하면 생각보다 저렴한 가격에
묵을 수 있어서 좋았다.
각 자리마다 콘센트가 배치되어 있어 전자기계류를 충전하기에도 편리했고 화장실도 총 3개가
있어서 샤워나 볼일을 볼 때에도 큰 불편함이 없었다.
