“I must comeback again”
I should have come here from th3 start of my trip. The manager is so kind and helpful even let me stay after check out in the living area until my flight time arrives. Everything was clean. They even had manga books on the shelves. And the place is aesthetic as well. It is close to the centre and to dance buskin performances. Moony rating 10/10

“Lovely Stay”
The staff was very friendly and accomodating. She gave us a good room so that my mother can be relaxed in. The location is not bad either. It's about a 7-10 minute walk from Hongdae station. The facilities were good and the place was clean.

“My go-to accommodation in Seoul”
I’ve stayed here multiple times and will continue to stay here if ever I go to Seoul again. Everything is within reach and in a more peaceful side of Hongdae. Staff are very accommodating too

“A place that instantly felt like home!”
UWA felt like home from the very first moment. The location is lively, with countless cafes, restaurants, and convenience stores like GS25 and 7-Eleven around, and public transport is just a short walk away. My favorite part was the vinyl set in the lobby...such a hidden gem. I was so happy to meet Barbara there, and we spent a memorable nights listening to albums and having a wonderful conversation. If you take a closer look, you can find treasures like Billy Joel, The Police, Eagles, and Rod Stewart. The people staying and working here were truly amazing. I even wanted to cancel some of my other plans to extend my stay at UWA, but unfortunately all the rooms were fully booked. I will definitely come back one day.
