The guesthouse is up the hill and a narrow set of stairs. The rooftop area is nice. The room itself is clean. However there is a lot of mold in the washrooms and showers due to ventilation issues. I’m not sure if the owner knows. I mentioned it and they said sorry).

Price is extremely reasonable and I think the place is great for it. Except… the bathrooms are pretty moldy. I think it’s difficult since there isn’t a lot of ventilation and the showers aren’t sectioned off, so the water gets everywhere in the bathroom. I would have liked to know this before booking.

Jin was very accessible, responding to all texts immediately. She picked us up at the train, which was so nice. Everything was very clean and she supplied whatever we needed. We had the \"suite\" , which is a private 2 bedroom, bath and kitchenette om the first floor. If you value privacy, you will rent rhis area.

The bed was hard for me and it could be noisy at night, but all in all a good location, spotless, accommodating, and a great value. Thank you, Jin.

Great location and super helpful host Jin who went out of her way to ease our trip. The hill leading to the guesthouse is pretty manageable unless you are carrying heavy luggage. The building is older and there are some signs of gentle wear and tear, but Jin made a great effort to make it comfortable, and it provides excellent value given the price, location, and amount of space for our family of 4. I would stay here again on my next trip.

Super friendly hosts. Thank you, Jin! Upstairs was not so much as described or pictured, but overall we appreciated our room and it was about as expected for the pricing tier and Asian lodging in general. Should try for a softer pillow, and small table lamps in the bedroom versus the glary ceiling fixture.

The staff were very nice and patient, and most of the facilities/amenities were convenient and maintained well. It was a very quiet area, even being in a city there were no noticeable nightlife sounds. Also within 5-10 min walking distance of numerous food/shops/stations/and a park. While the important main areas like beds/baths/kitchen were kept clean, the common area was a bit too crowded with stuff to feel usable, and there was quite a bit of dust/grime buildup in various nooks like behind beds and appliances. Overall a very comfortable place to stay and well worth it.

There was a lovely rooftop where I drank my coffee every morning. Coffee and simple breakfast foods were provided, as was a cold and hot water dispenser, which is important in a city where it isn't a good idea to drink the tap water. Laundry available was a plus, and the location is close to many restaurants, shops, and convenience stores.

At Wow Hills you will be treated with endless kindness and have the opportunity to make so many friends. It is great for solo travelers as you will never be alone unless that is your preference. Other guests joined me on my outings and I joined them on theirs also, giving me the opportunity to learn about Korean culture as well as the cultures of new friends. I don’t know what I would have done had I not found this guest house in my first tourist stay of Seoul. Our hosts never stop working to please their guests and they deserve the whole world! I am convinced they do not sleep for how hard they work, yet they are always smiling and making sure everyone else is smiling too. Being blessed to have met them is something I will never forget.

WOW is the correct word to describe this guest house. We have never met more kind, patient, and helpful, they greet you with warmth and show hosts than lovely Jin and her husband in Taik. Upon arrival, they home- where to find the breakfast items, how to operate the washing machine, and a tour of all the facilities. You ll find your room and all the common spaces to be clean and tidy as Jin is always working hard to keep up with the guests. She is quick to restock anything that maybe running low, so you ll never go without your coffee, tea, or snack. If you're interested in a guided tour at any point during your stay, we recommend contacting them ASAP after booking to inquire about the \"KOREAN OPPA\" service. It is popular so he gets booked up quickly, but the price is reasonable, and he is knowledgeable guide. We were able to hire him on one day of our trip and it was such a memorable outing with activities we wouldn't have thought of our own. He has customers who've hired him for years every time they come to South Korea, further indication of how great he is at what he does. Our room was comfortable and quiet. You should always expect to hear a little fun being had outside and in because you're in a lively part of the city, but its removed enough that you also get plenty of peace. Choosing to be in a guest house offers you the opportunity to make friends with others you the to make friends with other travelers, learn together, and even have friends to go out

Don’t make the same mistake I did, though, and forget to message them; make sure you let them know when you’ll arrive, so that they can help you with your luggage and get you set up inside. Other than that minor hiccup, which was completely my fault, I had a great experience here!

Convenient and quiet.

Jin picked us up and dropped us off at the metro station so it was easy to find the guesthouse. Access to the kitchen to fix breakfast from the eggs,bread and noodles that were provided was a nice perk. The guesthouse is located in a good area for a younger college scene with lots of eateries. Close to a park for exercising and a metro station for getting around the city.

Great communication; great location in Seoul

I emailed the owners of the guest house prior to our stay because our flight arrived at Incheon Airport very early and I inquired about an early check-in. They were prompt to respond to my email and were very accommodating.

I work in South Korea and I've stayed in many guest houses throughout my travels here, and I can say this was the best communication I've had with any guest house.

The rooms are clean and the owners offer free pick up from the Hongik University subway stop, as the guest house is located at the top of a hill. It's very considerate of them to offer the free pick up service for guests.

The immediate area is quiet at night, but within a five-ten minute walk, you're in a great neighborhood of Seoul. There are tons of restaurants, coffee shops, and great shopping and nightlife. I enjoyed my stay!

It was a good place for a weekend stay. Owner was very nice and friendly, room and share toilets are clean and tidy. Although it is located on a steep but short slope, you might get a little tiring to get home. But the owner offer free pick up on your first arrival, and free delivery of your luggages to the closest subway station at requested time, even after you checked out, which safe a lot of effort in carrying your stuff to walk the slope. but the room is kinda small for any big suitcase fit it, and the soundproof wasnt that good if there happened to be other very loud guests staying at the same time. Afterall, it is still a good place for the price, especially for short trip and backpackers! would consider again.

Great communication prior and throughout my stay. Quick response and both were very helpful if I ever needed anything! I was provided a car ride to the train station on my way back which was helpful considering my big luggage. Great area as it is near the heart of Hongdae and many cafes located down the block such as Starbucks and Paris Baguette. Quiet at night since it's located away from the noise.

Lived up to its name!

Came here for the PSY concert in Olympic Park in Seoul so we were a bit far but Andrew was awesome in letting us know how far we were from it and how to get there. It can be a bit tricky to find from the subway but Andrew was awesome once again and picked me up from the subway exit. Its situated RIGHT in the middle of the most popular part ot Hongdae; Food,shopping,nightlife etc BUT what makes it great is its a little off the street up through an alley so after you are done with the nightlife you dont get the noise and traffic :-) Room was super cozy and clean. We got a suite came with a kitchen and common area. Couldnt have asked for a better stay. Will definitely return!

Cozy place, great value

It was in a good location as it's right next to Hongik University, but also a bit away from the crowded area so you can get a sleep at night if you want to. As the name of the hostel suggests, it's up on a hill so if you wear heels everyday, this place might not be a wise choice. Also, don't forget to call them before to arrange a pickup with them. They can pick you up from the Hongik Univ. station(which the airport railway stops) so that you don't have to hassle all the way up on the hill with all your luggages. Just call them when you can on the train from the airport.

My friend and I got a single room which had a bed and a pull-out mattress. It is not that spacious but it was enough for us to sleep in and get ready to go out in the morning. Bathrooms are shared, but it was not crowded during my visit.

Overall, it was a comfortable stay, and really a great value for the money! The owners were very friendly too. I definitely recommend this place.

great guesthouse in Hongdae

I went to Seoul with a friend, we had been hoping to go for a long time but finally found the time to do it and we were not let down at all. Seoul was amazing, from the food, fashion to locals everything was vibrant and lively especially in Hongdae. There were so many places to eat, bars/clubs, boutiques and everyone and anyone is trendy in Seoul! I've been to tokyo, taipei and hong kong but seoul is by far my favourite city amongst them.
Locals are incredibly friendly, there's about 10cafes on every street and each one is cuter than the next. food is great and everywhere (best to share food because portions are quite large)
best of all, many things are 24hours, cafe's, bars and clubs are open till around 6-8am depending on which day

The guesthouse was great, we were very kindly picked up and dropped off at the nearest train station by the owner and when I needed to send a package to Tokyo from Seoul Andrew (the owner) very kindly helped me arrange it!!!
The guesthouse has everything you need, including breakfast which you can help yourself to every morning. The communal areas are cleaned everyday around 12pm so you don't get disturbed and the fridge is topped up daily too.
When we mentioned we wanted to rent a wifi pack Andrew mentioned a store that offers a weekly rental near the guest house which was very helpful!

overall, it was a very pleasant experience staying at the guesthouse, you felt at home and it was in an incredibly convenient location!

Wow Hills is the best for the money.

Andrew and his wife were the nicest people. Picked us up from the Train Station (make sure you go to Exit #5) and dropped us off. Hongdae is a nice and popping area, but they live off the street so it's really quiet!

The room was very secured with a lock at the front door and a lock for your room. Keys for both. Very recommended. Would come back, even with friends.

Excellent lodging near to Hongik Univ and shops.

We had a wonderful time here in July 2014. The location is fantastic as it's walking distance to a number of excellent restaurants and shops, including several coffee shops just down the street (including a Starbucks). It's also next to the Hongik University gate which is a useful landmark that you can tell taxi drivers. The Hongdae area is quite fun and we felt very safe walking around there among the quirky shops and younger crowds.

The owners are extremely helpful and they helped us navigate a few situations where knowledge of the Korean language was required. They are genuinely nice people and we really enjoyed our time talking with them. If you aren't fluent in Korean, it's very helpful to stay here because the owners can help you out when you need some assistance.

The accommodations were excellent. We stayed in the family suite with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a kitchen There is fast internet access (about 50 Mbits/sec), wifi, and a provided computer as well. There is also a common area upstairs with make-your-own breakfast options, a TV, more computers, toaster, fridge, etc.

The place was very comfortable and it felt like a home away from home. We look forward to returning on a future trip.

another home away from home

This place felt like home. I stayed here twice while spending a month in Seoul, and every time I felt as if I was at home. The location is more than perfect. I have stayed at different guesthouses during my stay but Wow Hills Guesthouse had the most comfortable beds. The atmosphere is the place is really unique as it promotes interaction with others that are staying there so you will be able to meet others and build friendships in the house. The location of the guesthouse is close to many things in hongdae, bars, clubs, stores, and there are many things to do but at the same time, you don't have to worry about any noise. It is the best guesthouse I stayed in while in Hongdae, Seoul. I will definitely go back and stay there again!

Wonderful Guest House

This guest house is great. I was in a single room and it was a very nice stay. The owners are so nice and helpful. The hostel is a bit hard to find at first but is actually located in a great location. Very clean and provides everything needed. A little pricy for a guest house but totally worth it.

I would return..

It was my first time traveling alone in Seoul and I couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The area is right by Hongik Univ and the nightlife of Hongdae. About a min away, you can go outside and enjoy the nightlife, but when you come back the GuestHouse, you can still enjoy the relaxing atmosphere due the location. The owners are very caring and the fact that they are available when you have a question is a plus. The rooms, bathrooms etc.. are cleaned every day. The price was perfect. I stayed here close to one month, and I couldn't have picked a better location.

Great place to say and great location

The owners Jin and Andrew are very kind. They pick you up from the station and are so friendly. The free breakfast and noodles are a nice touch. Everything is clean and you couldn't ask for more. You are just minutes walk away from the metro and the huge party district of Hongik, yet it's on a quiet road and at night you hear no noise.

利便性の高い場所で宿泊費を抑えて滞在したい人に最適です。直前に急な坂はありますが、韓国では良くあるレベルです。写真はオープン直後のものと思われますが、現在はもっと生活感のある雰囲気になっています。ホステル慣れしている方であれば問題ありませんが、慣れていない方は、大家族の親戚の家に間借りさせてもらうようなイメージを持つと良いかもしれません。
入り口にコミュニケーションツールでのアクセス方法があるので、そこからオーナーにコンタクトできます。日本語でご対応いただけたので非常に助かりました。

整體來說不錯,符合價位的住宿

符合價位的住宿,具備毛巾、沐浴洗髮精、吹風機等等。
但隔音不好,半夜容易被其他間住宿客人的聲音打擾,公共空間和共用浴室廁所的維護要視同住客人的狀況而定,這次來說都很不錯。
地點位於坡道上,從弘大九號出口走約15分鐘,最後的爬坡會稍微累一點。

I told the host about the inconvenience and then the host answered, \"will you leave?\" The time was in the middle of the night as well as the woman alone who doesn't know the place even the guest has to check-out at 6 AM. The host knew all these guest conditions but the host(she) wanted me to leave. I'm scared to complain about this place and this woman host. If you tell anything about the inconvenience, the host might tell you to leave.

評価が高かったため予約しましたが、あまり綺麗とは言えませんでした…。共有のリビング部分は長く滞在している方の部屋のようで、私物が置いてあったり、テーブルや床も毎日掃除されてる雰囲気はありませんでした。ゴミ箱もいっぱいでしたが1日経っても変えられていませんでした。
泊まった部屋もあまり綺麗な感じとは言えず、ここのゴミ箱も部屋の外に出して置いても変えてもらえずでした。また貸し出しタオルはどれも長年使って黄ばんだものしかなくちょっと使うのがためらわれました。アメニティも年季が入っていました。
ルールというルールが特になく、かなり自由なので、清潔さをそこまで気にされない方でしたら立地もよく、安く泊まれるのでいいと思います。
ただ施設のオーナーの方がとても親切だったので、色々掃除やタオルの新調、ある程度の共用部の使用ルールなどを決めてもらえるなら泊まってもいいかなと思いましたので、改善の余地を含めて投稿しました。
