Hongdae (Hongik Univ.) is a popular place where young people hang out in that has various shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Hongdae has many clubs, bars, and shops. It is also a place where many young artists hold unique performances. The number of guest houses has notably risen in this area. Moderate price range and great location of these places are drawing a lot of students from overseas and young tourists. It's also not too far from Dongdaemun (about 25 mins on subway), so this is probably the best area to enjoy night life but not to miss out on shopping. I'm introducing one of these popular guest houses called 'Kim's Guest House.'

Kim's Guest House

Just a short walking distance away from Hapjeong Station is Kim’s Guest House, offering clean facilities and a family atmosphere. The neat wooden floors are nice to walk on in your bare feet, and the guest house provides dormitory style rooms, twin room s, double, and triple bedrooms, giving you a wider selection to choose from. There is a laundry room with irons prepared for your use, and each room is equipped with an air conditioner to keep you cool during the summer. Personal lockers are available in each room for safekeeping. Free internet access, and a simple breakfast consisting of bread and jam, and coffee is provided. For visitors who stay more than 3 days, the guesthouse can store your larger bags while you are traveling around to other cities.
