A nice place for solo travelers. Enjoyed myself and was very comfortable. Necessities were provided, but bringing extras, such as shoes and towels, wouldn't hurt.

Stay somewhere else

This is not a guesthouse,also not lux as it's named.it's an apartment, in each room there are bunk beds with 2 bathrooms.But everywhere is so dirty that you are even hesitating to touch.i don't know how there is no cleaning done at all,place needs serious maintenance and cleaning.only positive thing is location,a place to sleep and shower.if you can pay more,go somewhere else

Highly recommend ! Everything was perfect This guesthouse is an appartement with a big living room and a fully equipped kitchen so it feels like being home. Located in Hongdae which is one of the most popular neighbourhoods of Seoul and easily accessible from the airport (direct subway line) - Hongdae station being less than a 5 minute walk (exit 6). The host is a great person, really kind and helpful ! Thank you to the host and to the owner for making me have an amazing stay

This is good for when you want to save your money. Just for one night. Staff was really kind and gave me all the information that i needed. Rooms were clean but so old and weired. No key nor password is required to enter the room inside the hostel. there are 3-4 rooms. but a bathroom is just one.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The worst experience ever, on picture it looked an ok gueat house and for the price we didn't expect a 5 start property but as soon as you arrive to the place you can see that everything is dirty. Going inside the property and crossing accrooss the hallway and the kitchen there was a piece of wood and newspapers on what i assume was a fixer from the broken floor. The kitchen was full of dishes and when you go to your room it was definitely the okay part but the blanket small like hasn't been washed in a while. The only good point was the quick communication but it didn't matter because the property was definitely not well taken care of. We went after an hour out and found a better place.

Cosy, comfortable like a home | One Tech Traveller

They opened for only a week so yet to reflected everywhere but I had no problems finding Lux Guesthouse. Located on the 5F, you'll want to bear in mind the stairs. However, check-in was smooth, the staff were very friendly and multi-lingual with a family-style run approach to Lux guesthouse. For the price, the sleeping arrangements were great. I stayed in the 6 bed dormitory which had modern beds, plenty of storage and a large modern cabinet to stow away clothes on the hangers and relatively large backpacks and smaller items. The beds were comfortable and you get a full-on blanket which is soft and comfortable like back home. The rooms are well-heated with heated floors in the social area too. The two showers are pressurised well, though if used at the same time temperature and pressure drops so bear this in mind. Overall, it was comfortable with shampoo and toothpaste provided. The self-service kitchen has a fridge, stove, microwave and hot water machine for all you need. Internet is important for me and I'm happy to say it has very fast wifi so I could work from the lounge with ease. As I stayed over Christmas, we had a small ji-mek party which was great and found it felt like home including the people. I definitely recommend the place for comforts. It's mid-way between Hongik university station exit 8 and Sinchon exit 8. The quieter side but near all the restaurants and shops of Hongdae so was perfect.

チェックインも名前だけでok チェックアウトもスルー　ゲストハウス利用が多いなかでこれは初めてでした。 気づかいなく2泊、しかも他の客がいなかったので実質4人部屋を独占してました。 バス、トイレのゴミや汚れが気になりました。 5Fまで階段をのぼる必要があるので大きなスーツケースの方は覚悟してください。

立地が最高です。弘大入口から歩いてすぐ着きます。荷物を5階まで階段で運ぶので、大きいキャリーで行く方にはあまりお勧めはしないです。チェックインもチェックアウトも特になく、これでいいのか？という感じでしたが、2泊3日特に不便なく過ごすことができました。
