Sehr kleines Zimmer und Bad, am Fenster war es recht kalt

Hostel Cleo was by far the cleanest hostel or hotel I've stayed in.
The staff was wonderful, helpful and friendly. I am grateful for them!
Inside the room, the big window made the small space feel so comfortable and lovely. The property itself is nice and well-taken care of.
The bed was so comfortable, the body wash smelled good, and the slippers inside were nice and not nasty and crusty.
It was great to have a mini fridge inside the room; a total perk for a hostel. The lounge on the B1 level was great to have, also nicely decorated and clean.
Having a 24-hour coin-op laundry was also such a wonderful perk.
I was concerned the hostel would be too far a trek from the subway station, but it was not; it was a 3-5 minute walk. The location was great, surrounded by so many shops and gorgeous cafes, plus the beautiful Gyeongui Line Forest Park.
They also had umbrellas for the guests to borrow and a (bare) patio on the fifth floor which was nice to take in the view of the city.
These are cons but not deal breakers: The breakfast was not great for someone who is vegan (there were some cute-looking pastries, but they may not have been vegan-friendly), but the juice boxes were great. Mango FTW!
The room was small, but that was expected. That said, there was still enough room that it didn't feel super cramped for a solo traveler.
There was no full-length mirror available, but if you need to check your full outfit, the reflection inside the elevator will do in a pinch.

The room was much bigger than expected, really clean. The staff was really helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is perfect.

Very central location, right next to shops, museums and restaurants. Metro station also close by. Wifi was good and the personal was really friendly. Definitely great value for the price and would stay again when in Seoul! 🫶
The room was really small and the bathroom even smaller, but I guess this is like this in every other Seoul hotel, too. Nothing else to complain about.

Location
We stayed at the 2nd floor and the big window didnt give us privacy to the big and noisy road. When you pull down the curtain, the small openable window is blocked and the really tiny room will run out of fresh air pretty fast.
4.3
Room was small but big enough for 1 person. Room was cosy and bed was comfortable and there's housekeeping everyday. Location was great!
Just happened that my room door opens directly in front of the stairs, so solo female travellers might have to be more careful as you are not able to see if anyone is hiding on the stairs. But it's still safe cos there's CCTV on the level.
4.3
The style of the property is very simple and clear.
If the size of the room could be bigger, it would be better. But overall is totally fine.
4.3
The hostel even has hair dryers
After the first person finishes bathing, the hot water quickly runs out when the second person takes a bath, and it takes a long time to change back to hot water

Great location with lots of restaurants, cafe, metro stations within walking distance. Staff was friendly and helpful
The room is so small you can barely move if you have a suitcase

The staff was friendly, the location was great. For Seoul it was definitely good value for money.
The rooms could have been cleaner and it is really small. Also, the rooms facing the streets are a bit louder.

The location is good, just 5 minutes walk from the Hongdae subway and another 3 minutes walk to Hongdae Shopping Street. There are cafes and restaurants just at the doorstep of the hotel. There is a small lounge in the basement where breakfast is served, which is great since our whole group (14 ppl) love to gather at the lounge for small briefings. And the lounge there is freeflow of juice, hot water, free usage of microwave with cups, bowls and utensils to use. The room is clean and comfy. Staffs are friendly too. Love their hospitality. Highly recommended.
Room soundproofing could be improved. We can hear people on the street chitchatting at night from our room on the 4th floor. All else is just perfect.

Good location near Hongdae, close to bus stop and a convenience store

Excellent location from the subway station at Hongik University, as well as a walk through Yeonnam-dong behind the hostel. Clean and comfortable, the room is very small but it doesn't matter for me to stay alone.
