The Bobo Hotel Hongdae definitely has a unique vibe. The location is fantastic for nightlife, but I found the atmosphere a bit more like a love motel. While my room was spacious and had some nice amenities, a broken air conditioner and the presence of condoms in the room made me uncomfortable.

Rooms

6.0

My room was big, featuring double beds and a massive 50-inch TV. The bathroom offered nice amenities, and the separate wet room could even function as a sauna. However, the air conditioning was not effective, and the small window left me feeling a bit claustrophobic.

Service

6.0

The staff was helpful, but the overall check-in experience felt a bit like a motel. They keep your key at the reception when you go out, which made me feel like they were keeping a close watch on everything.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location is excellent, just a ten-minute walk from Hongik University station, surrounded by great restaurants and bars. The vibrant atmosphere of Hongdae is just outside the door, making it easy to explore all the nightlife.

Dining

5.0

There’s no breakfast or room service, which was a bit disappointing. But being so close to amazing Korean BBQ spots made up for it, as I could easily grab a bite nearby.

Facilities

5.0

While the hotel had decent amenities in the room, the absence of kitchen facilities or dining options made it feel lacking overall. I also noticed that the hotel looked a bit dated.

My stay at Bobo Hotel Hongdae was a mixed bag. While the location was super convenient and the room was spacious with a massive TV, the lack of a kitchen or breakfast options was a downside. The air conditioning was underwhelming, and I wasn't too thrilled about the vibe of the place, which felt like more of a love motel. Overall, it was clean and affordable, but I probably won't return.

Rooms

6.0

I found the room quite spacious, featuring two double beds and a massive 50-inch TV. The bathroom had a bathtub, toilet, and a wet room that could turn into a sauna, which was a nice touch. However, the air conditioning was not effective, acting more like a fan.

Service

5.0

The staff did their job but didn’t really go above and beyond. I appreciated that the hotel was clean and the hot water had great pressure, but overall, the service felt a bit lackluster.

Location

8.0

The hotel was really well-located, just a 10-minute walk from Hongik University station. It’s surrounded by nice Korean BBQ spots and bars, making it super handy for a night out.

Dining

There were no dining options like breakfast or room service. It lacked kitchen facilities, which was a letdown, especially since I prefer having some morning meals available.

Facilities

5.0

While there were some nice amenities in the room, like conditioner and shower wash, the overall facilities felt outdated, and the small window didn’t offer much ventilation or natural light.

My stay at Bobo Hotel Hongdae was quite mixed. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Hongdae, making it easy to explore. However, I was disappointed with the room’s cleanliness and the overall atmosphere. The hotel felt more like a love motel, which I later learned was its reputation, and that made me uncomfortable. 😬

My stay at Bobo Hotel was interesting, blending affordability with some unexpected quirks. The room was spacious and clean, though the air conditioning needed better performance. The location in the bustling Hongdae area was a highlight, with plenty of dining and nightlife around, making it ideal for a short trip.

The hotel is perfectly positioned in Hongdae, just a short walk from stations and filled with great Korean BBQ spots and nightlife. It was easy to find and made moving around the city convenient.

I had a mixed experience at Bobo Hotel in Hongdae. The location is prime, right in the heart of everything, but I found the hotel to be a bit dated and not as clean as I hoped. The noise from neighboring rooms was noticeable at times, which added to my discomfort. Overall, it’s decent if you’re looking for a place close to nightlife, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

Rooms

5.0

The room was noisy and had a strong smell of smoke. I even saw some stains, which was not cool. Got moved to a larger room, but it still had a similar smell. Definitely not what I expected.

Service

5.0

The staff changed my room when I complained, which was good, but the initial experience left me feeling frustrated. They need to do a better job with cleanliness.

Location

Bobo Hotel is perfectly situated in Hongdae. I loved that everything, from restaurants to clubs, was just a short walk away. Really convenient for nightlife!

Dining

6.0

There weren't many dining options at the hotel, so I had to explore nearby spots, which wasn’t a big deal because of the great location.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities seemed a bit outdated. There are no elevators, which made lugging my bags tiring, especially coming from the subway with heavy luggage.
