The staff was very helpful ! As well pet friendly, my dog loved the friendly pet oriented neighborhood. There was also a park near by where you could walk your pet ! I reccomend booking with them if you’re attracted to the Hongdae area. I would be careful though about the blinds since there really aren’t shower curtains on the top floor. It was spacious for one person so I do reccomend having a friend so it doesn’t get lonely. Over all a 4/5 star experience !

A warm and heart warming stay😍

Chin Chin house is one of my unforgettable hotel, especially during the CNY in -20 degree, it’s 15 mins from Hong dai University station, I treasure the time I walk back, so quiet and so many interesting shops! I stay there for 5 days, just like a home away from home, I can cook my own breakfast and have a coffee in the beautiful architect lounge! Very warm and heart warming in this Korea winter! I definitely recommend you to enjoy this comfortable and happiness place! 😀

Friendly staff, moldy/leaky ceiling

The staff is friendly and they speak good English. We were originally placed in the third floor but the stairs were icy and we almost slipped (no elevator). They accommodated us with a 2nd floor room, but the ceiling was leaking. The ceiling above the bed looked moldy.

There were reviews with high praise and some negative ones, making it hard to decide. The result was a very satisfying trip. The front desk was friendly, and the room with its white sheet covers was very clean and warm. The second-floor lounge was even more comfortable than home. The paintings in the room and living room were modern and had a unique charm. Dining at the dumpling and soup restaurant run by the owner was an excellent experience at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

This place is very safe and very quiet. It is a bit hidden in the corner in the alley when you get there. Reception is clearly visible once on the property. The stairs to other floors are quite dangerous, so be careful, especially if you are travelling with a heavy luggage. Everything worked well. Shared kitchen offers basic equipment. You can make yourself a coffee or a tea at any time, plus it is being resupplied every single day. I stayed in a family room, which was fairly spacious for my needs. Back room was a bit tiny, because the ceiling was very low and I am tall, so u stayed in the front room. Bathroom worked flawlessly. Sitting on a balcony was also pleasant, I liked the bamboo trees. Conveniently close to shops and cafes. I highly recommend DoDo cafe - owner is a wonderful woman, cannot praise her enough; tell her that Jan from Czechia recommended it. Laundromat is to be found on the corner of the opposite street, very useful; cash and cards accepted. Thank you for having me here, all the best.

The Perfect Haven in Seoul, Complete with Friendly Service and Spotless Rooms My stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful. Having lodged here last January and returned, it's clear this spot keeps drawing me back. The room was spotless, with particularly pristine bedding which ensured a super comfy night. Its quiet location made it the perfect spot to unwind. The beef soup and dumplings served at the North Korean restaurant right at the alley’s entrance were top-notch. Kit, the front desk officer from Hong Kong, was immensely friendly and fluent in English, making communication a breeze. With its reasonable prices and excellent service, I've firmly decided to stay here whenever I'm in Seoul. It feels like I've found my own little haven, much like something out of The Guardian's travel pages. Highly recommend!

From the first day, the roof was leaking and under the bed there was so much dusty. So the air of the room was contaminated with bad smell...totally the room was not suitable for the customer's staying. After moving to the other room, the cleanness was almost the same level but a little bit better. Make a long story short, please delete this hotel from your Hotels.com package. I could not visit Hotels.com if you continue to keep this hotel in your website. Thanks. If you need pictures, I will send it separately.

곰팡이와 함께

숙소 내부를 리모델링 한 듯한데 현관문 들어가자마자 곰팡이 냄새가 진동을 하길래 보니 주방과 화장실에 곰팡이가 한가득 있네요. 제 생각에 집이 오래되어 단열이 안 좋아서 겨울철 결로 때문인것 같습니다. 이 부분은 개선이 필요합니다. 이런 곰팡이 가득한 곳에서 다시는 자고싶지 않아요.
