Huayuanhouse HQ in hongdae

This is an ideal apartment for a solo traveler which I was in this instance. Its effectively a room, with a double bed, TV and wifi - nothing more, nothing less. The apartment is about 10 minutes walk away from the closest subway so factor this is in should you have a heavy suitcase. What I did like was whilst it was not in the heart of Hongdae, there are nice selection of privately owned cafes, dessert shops and restaurants around the neighborhood. I needed a place for one night while staying in Hongdae and this apartment served its purpose as my stay on the whole was comfortable.

There is no lift so if you're travelling light or on the first or second floor, its not an issue. I however had 2x 20kg suitcases and was on the 5th floor so getting to my room was a serious workout. The apartment is advertised as having a private shower which is true however its not an en suite and instead across the hall, opposite the room. Furthermore, the shower room is very compact with the shower directly above the toilet; a unique set up which I have never experienced. Albeit compact, it was clean.

3 fl. no elevater with a big baggage...

easy access to the city by walking and bus. near to convenient store, cafe, subway ( have to walk few minutes). room information with details password given earlier.

The location is good and 5min walk from the subway station.

There is only one toilet in female dorm, which is not convenient for 10 travelers.
