BAROATO 2nd

The location is great, very close to Hongdae and handy for getting around. I stayed two nights in a single room, but the bed squeaked with every move and kept me from sleeping well. An average stay, mostly because the bed was uncomfortable.

We used the room as a comfortable base for exploring Hongdae, and it was cosy enough for two. Getting around was easy, with convenience stores nearby and central Hongdae just a short walk away. The bed felt a little firm and sound carried through the walls, but neither got in the way of our stay. The staff were incredibly accommodating when we checked in late, which made us feel welcome.

I spent three days here while waiting for a visa, and the price and location were just right for me. Hongdae shopping street and Dongik University station are both very close. The rooms were cute and comfortable, and the staff were top-notch. For what I needed, I couldn't have asked for a better hotel.

We could hear full conversations and loud footsteps from the neighboring rooms, so noise insulation is the main drawback. If you're sensitive to noise, you'll be bothered, and earplugs are necessary. It may be fine if noise doesn't bother you. I stayed during the busy period just before New Year; the room was fairly comfortable and the heater was extremely strong. Still great value.
