The location is super convenient, really close to the Hongdae shopping street. The guy at the front desk spoke excellent Chinese and was incredibly helpful and friendly, even assisting us with getting a taxi.

Every time I come to Seoul, I stay here. It's conveniently located very close to Hongdae, with plenty of CU and Olive Young stores nearby. If I ever need anything, I can just pop into Daiso. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next trip.

First time staying at Xiaohan, and it's really great! The price is reasonable, the room is clean, and it's close to the subway station. You can also store your luggage here. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit.

This is truly the best hotel for Chinese guests, especially with their Chinese-speaking staff! A huge thank you to the front desk team for helping me resolve an issue. I'll definitely be back!

The hotel is in a great location with loads of shops, cafes, restaurants etc around and offers reasonable prices. I would rate the cleanliness 3 out of 5. There’s a nice outdoor area at the front of the hotel that’s perfect for smokers or for enjoying a few beers. For a low-cost, budget-friendly option, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The room was a bit small but clean and tidy. The front desk staff spoke Chinese, so communication was easy. They offer luggage storage, and the elevator access is very convenient. The hotel was also easy to find, about a five to six-minute walk from the subway station.

i stayed here for 1 night with my mom, it’s a nice little hotel for a short stay, located in a great place in the center of the city, the receptionist was friendly, check in and check out were quick and simple; the only drawback was a really hard bed, we didn’t find it cumbersome because we were extremely tired after a long flight so we slept really well, but you should be careful when choosing a place to stay. i personally wouldn’t be able to sleep comfortably on such a hard mattress for longer than 1 night.

The hotel’s location is convenient, close to the city centre and metro station, but reaching the entrance requires walking up a steep slope. The room’s cleanliness was just average, and only basic amenities were provided. While the essentials were covered, nothing stood out as exceptional. At night, there was a strange noise outside the building, which made it a bit difficult to sleep. Overall, it’s a practical choice for short stays if you value proximity to transport, but be prepared for the uphill walk and don’t expect more than the basics. Staffa were friendly.

The hotel was absolutely filthy. My entire family developed allergies after our stay. I will definitely not be coming back.

This place felt like a motel, and the room I stayed in was genuinely quite dirty, with dust and hair everywhere – it didn't seem like it had been cleaned properly. There is an elevator, and the room size was decent. The bathroom was actually quite spacious compared to the hostels I've stayed in before in Seoul. You have to go up a big slope to get to the hotel, which would be inconvenient if you're lugging a suitcase. There's a pretty large lounge area on the first floor.
