Good area. I personally think they could clean the washrooms more often, but, the service was good.

All was going okay, got there and they showed me to my room. Bathroom was about what i expected, after my first few nights they come in and tell us they put us in the wrong room and we may have to change.MAY. about an hour later a man whom i havent seen the whole time comes barging in yelling at us to change rooms, GO GO GO CHANGE ROOMS NOW!!! He moves us downstairs. And it was filthy. Bathroom/shower room was barely wide enough to stand in, no place to put your clothes or towel and the windows were transparent and people outside could see you shower or use the restroom. Needless to say, i packed my things and left will not be back ill sleep on the streets with the homeless before i come back. Oh and the "free breakfast" is frozen slices of bread inwhich you are only allowed 2 pieces.

No es recomendable
Costó ubicar el Hostel porque no tiene cartel a la calle; tampoco se especificaba el piso... tuve que pedir asistencia a unos vecinos. Los baños del cuarto piso tienen como desagüe del lavamanos, un flexible que está suelto; como la ducha está en el baño, el piso está continuamente mojado. El espejo está sucio y, en general, el aspecto del baño lo es. Las cuchetas solo cuentan con un almohadón y una frazada; no hay sábanas ni fundas; la habitación compartida siempre olía a humedad y transpiración. El quinto piso está mejor que el primero, pero la cocina tiene aspecto sucio; la heladera presentaba restos de comida. Las escaleras del Hostel tienen basura arrumbada y manchas de sangre que nunca se han limpiado. Durante el día cualquiera puede entrar al cuarto piso porque las puerta principal se encuentra abierta y porque el ascensor da al interior del Hostel.

Mamas and Papas guesthouse hongdae
on the lower scale of other guesthouses i've stayed at. the bathroom was the worst of the stay, being poorly maintained, with the sink drain draining directly onto the floor, without good drainage. this would cause me to have to straddle the stream while shaving and brushing my teeth. there were no towel racks.

Great but more friendliness would make this a do-n
This would have been one of our favorite places to stay on this whole trip (9 months) - great shared kitchen, make your own breakfast (no food limits with their groceries), and perfect location. Our only complaint was that the staff themselves were less than friendly, to the point of being very rude at times. It definitely didn't harm how great the place was, but was one of the reasons we chose to stay somewhere else when we came back to Seoul.

場所は最悪！ 寝具が加齢臭臭くて 枕、布団、本当に使えなかった！ シャワーも他のゲストハウスよりかなり酷くて ゲストハウス全体的にシャワートイレは、 男女とも2個ずつしかなく、スムーズには入れない。 スタッフはすごいいい人でそれだけはよかった！ 部屋も共用部分にあるドレッサーの真横で 夜中酔っ払いがあばれたり、 電話してる人がいたり、 夜中12時すぎてもお構いなしに うるさくする人が多くて 3日滞在しましたが、三日間寝れなかった！ 2日目の時点で別のホテルへ移動を検討したが、 空きがなく、仕方なく滞在を続けました！ 客層はヨーロピアンとアメリカ人が多かったです。 いろんなゲストハウスに滞在してきましたが、 ここはおすすめしない。 特に日本人は絶対やめたほうがいい。 イライラします。他を選ぶ事をおすすめします。 私はホテル代をケチったせいで 辛い3日になりました。 サウナやチムチルバンで寝るほうがまだ快適！ リピは絶対なし！ ただ、スタッフは本当にいい人！

Séjour agréable dans une guesthouse ultra bien située pour sortir aussi bien la journée que le soir. Lits confortables, sèche cheveux et fer à lisser à disposition ainsi que des petites serviettes à la Coreenne (donc assez petite) à disposition et à la demande. Chambre légèrement petite mais suffisante pour deux personnes cependant une bonne rénovation dans la salle de bain avant tout mais aussi dans tout le reste rendrait la guesthouse parfaite.

Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich, sympathisch und hilfsbereit, auch spricht er sehr gut Englisch und beantwortet gern alle Fragen. Die Lage ist super, man ist mitten im Geschehen und schnell bei der U-Bahn-Station. Das Hostel ist allerdings nur etwas für ganz junge Partygäste, die wenig Wert auf Sauberkeit und nächtliche Ruhe legen. Die sanitären Anlagen waren teilweise in einem ekelhaften Zustand, die anderen Gäste waren auch nachts nicht zu überhoren, wenn sie telefoniert, rumgealbert oder sich übergeben haben.

有旅客在走廊嘔吐，希望能多注意此事。環境整體還不錯，這價位我覺得可以。另外，房間似乎沒有提供垃圾桶，有點不太方便。

Dear Valued Guest, Greetings! Thank you so much for the kind comment. We have tried so hard informing the guests of the rules in the GH. After your comment, we have posted signs to reinforce on this matter. Regarding the trash bin inside the dormitories, we tried to remove them due to some guests who try to throw some wet and smelly food inside. Yet, we have placed some signage to inform guests to throw their trash to the big bin outside the toilet door. Rest assured that we will be doing our best to improve. We hope for your understanding and we hope to see you soon again. Mamas and Papas

친구와 묶은 1박. 썩 좋지 못한 후기들을 봤지만 괜찮겠지. 하고 갔는데 음... 단점은 올라가자 마자 보인 쓰레기들, 집에 들어서자 보인 어지러운 테이블. 방으로 안내 받았는데4인실. 심지어 한 침대는 누군가 쓰고 있다고 해서 문도 잠그지 못했다. 방이 추웠다. 조식으로 준다는 토스트와 주스는 어디있는지 사라졌고 커피는 믹스였다. 위치는 정말 좋은데.. 가볍게 1박 하는 거면 모르겠는데 다시 가고싶지는 않다.
