Stay Hello Hongdae Sinchon

Getting in was easy and quick with the self-check-in system. When I opened the room door, there was a nice smell that felt really comforting. The decor was simple and cute, with a Korean style, and there was a little photo booth for pictures. The room was small, but still quite nice. The shower setup depended on the room: in rooms other than the four-person one, it wasn't separate from the main shower area and felt a bit cramped. The four-person room had a more separate shower area. There was even an iontophoresis clip on the table. It's a quick four-minute walk from Exit 4 of Sinchon Station, with lots of restaurants and a lively area downstairs. The place seemed relatively new, clean, and convenient. One small letdown: we pressed the room-cleaning button, but nobody came. The luggage storage mentioned on the website, beside the self-check-in machine, is really just a simple hook for your luggage, like a bicycle lock.

The location is really convenient, but in the triple room the single bed is out on the balcony with no air conditioning. I'd suggest booking a double room. If there are three of you, stay somewhere else.
