Mamas & Papas Hongdae Guesthouse and Apartments, Seoul

the hostel is located on a party street, so it’s difficult to sleep, everyone is screaming until the morning. There is a kitchenette and an elevator, only 3 floors

Our flight arrived in mid night, this hostel location is great in the midst of town. In front hostel is walking street have many restaurants and shopping. Room's wall is thin can hear other guests talking and walking around. This is a back packers type hostel. Picture is from hostel common balcony

My friend and I recently spent two weeks at Mamas & Papas Hongdae Guesthouse and Apartments. While the location is fantastic close to vibrant cafes and shopping and the property is clean, our experience didn’t match what we saw online. The amenities were lacking; the promised breakfast was minimal and the Wi-Fi was often slow. Additionally, while the staff were friendly, they seemed stretched thin and were not always available to assist with issues such as my laundry and WiFi. Overall, Mamas & Papas has potential, but it fell short in service and amenities during our stay.

The staff was really nice and the accommodation is perfectly located, I recommend and will book again

Amazing location for night life. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby. Could be cleaner and more organised.

Not particularly an ideal place to stay in but if you’re on a budget then go for it. The rooms are small and lack soundproofing. You share one bathroom at the floor you’re staying with everybody, which not everyone is the cleanest person… I saw a bloody pad in the wide open in the trash and I was very much disgusted. Anyways I think the staff are pretty nice and friendly at least.

I choose this hostel in Seoul. It’s amazing. I met lots of interesting friends here. The boss here is helpful and kind.

Great guesthouse. Stayed there for 5 nights and I think it’s the best place to experience Seoul better. The receptionist is super friendly and nice and the boss is very kind too. I’d definitely come back here again when I visit Seoul next time. Thanks to Mr Lee, Amy and Sabina.

Very good location and very easy and simple check in and check out process. The bathrooms are not the cleanest but better than a lot of hostels I’ve stayed at.
