Hostel Kozayo&Cafe Rounge Hongdae Seoul Reviews

the location is great, in the heart of hongdae area. the room is like regular capsule, overall environment is good. I think it's suitable for short stay and solo traveller

In the middle of Hongdae‘s nightlife, you are close to the action. Can be a bit loud on weekends, and I recommend getting rooms further from the bathroom to sleep in peace. Very close to a lot of cool vintage shops, small restaurants, bars and awesome cafés. Staff was nice and spoke English!

Amazing stay!

Very Good

The hotel is located near Hongik University and within Hongik University Street. You can reach the nearby commercial district after leaving the hotel. The hotel front desk can speak Chinese and English, so there is no need to worry about language issues. When checking in, they will patiently remind you of the precautions when checking in. The hotel is very friendly in communication and will help guests staying as much as possible. The hotel's security measures are very complete, and a QR-Code will be provided upon check-in for nighttime access to the hotel and guest room areas. Overall, it was a good experience staying at KOZAYO. If I travel to Seoul again in the future, I will choose KOZAYO again. Of course, the hotel is often full, so remember to book in advance 😉

The rooms were separated on a very large floor. There were no doors, just roller curtains. Privacy was maintained. The location was very good. It is located about halfway between Sangsu Station and Hongik University Station. It is quite up the main street of Hongdae. I headed to the hotel from Sangsu Station late at night, and although there was no one there during the day, there were surprisingly many people in the club district at night. Rather than being full of drunk people, it was more foreigners who came to Korea to hang out at the clubs, so I don't think the security is bad. I thought I might hear noise from the room, but it didn't bother me. The front desk has many chairs and can be used as a cafe. You need to deposit 100,000 yen lol in credit or cash as a deposit. It will be returned to you when you check out. I'm a woman, but I accidentally booked the men's floor, but they handled it immediately for an additional 8,000 lol. The man at the front desk was very kind. He speaks English fluently. When you give your money or passport, he says, "Don't rush!" or "Wait 5 minutes while I prepare!" I've met many Korean people, but he was the kindest. I'll use him again!!

Facilities: Complete facilities, the boss has prepared everything you can think of Hygiene: Both private and public areas are very clean and hygienic, the bathrooms and toilets are odorless, and toilet paper, hand sanitizer and hair dryers are provided Environment: On a very busy street in Hongdae, there is no need to worry even if you check in at midnight, there are super many people on the street, and everyone is very friendly Service: The boss speaks very good English, so there is no need to worry about not knowing Korean, and there is a self-service breakfast on the 2F within a limited time Because there are check-in rules, I personally think it is very good for girls. Everyone is maintaining this quiet and cleanliness, and there is no need to worry about safety issues. The entire floor is full of girls, and you can only scan the QR code provided by the boss to pass the access control. In short, I will choose to live here next time if I have the chance!

There is a handsome guy at the front desk who can speak Chinese, so communication is very convenient. The rooms are on the third floor and above, and you can take the elevator to get in and out. But when you check in, you have to go to the front desk on the second floor, and you need to carry your luggage up. There are only stairs to the second floor. The whole environment is very good, and the bed is the same as in the photo, but you need to pay attention that your passport will be copied when you check in, and a deposit of 100,000 yuan is required. However, the service is very good. If I come to Seoul next time, I will choose this hostel again.

The staff are very nice~~ The design is stylish!

It was clean. It was a capsule, but it wasn't a two-tiered type, and each person had their own partition, so that was nice too! The shower room was slippery, so it might be convenient to wear shoes 🩴

There are aunties cleaning the public space every day, which basically meets the shopping needs in Hongdae. Walking out is the business center, suitable for friends who travel alone ~ The guy at the counter is very nice and can also speak Chinese. It doesn't matter if you don't know Korean or English. ~

It was clean overall and the bedding was clean and fluffy. It was nice that it was very close to Hongdae Street, and the basic amenities provided were also good. I didn't eat it, but it would be nice to have breakfast.

This time I was originally planning to stay at the airport, but I suddenly made a reservation the day before. It is close to Hongdae Station and is highly recommended for those who use nightclubs near Hongdae! I thought that the beds and security were good considering it is classified as a capsule hotel. It was just difficult to go to the toilet.

This is my first time to experience a hotel. There are a lot of rules and it is suitable for young people traveling alone.
