Convienent Location. Comfortable.”

Convenient location that is walking distance from the subway and to shopping areas in Hongjae-dong. Hostel is tucked by an alley but the staff provided helpful directions prior to check-in. There is a three story climb up the stairs to the lobby (no elevator) so keep that in mind when bringing a lot of luggage. The staff were all very friendly from check-in to helping me with calling a taxi and bringing my luggage downstairs. Room was small and simple but sufficient for a one night stay. Bathroom and shower facilities were very clean.

Great guest house”

I was traveling seoul to meet some of my friends, so I had to stay in some guest houses. Cocoa guest house was the best among the guest houses that I have stayed. Staff there was so friendly and nice. The room was so clean and comfortable. Location was in the center of Hongdae area, and it was close to sangsu station. If I should stay in Hongdae area, I'll definitely stay in this Guest house.

Great value for trips to Seoul”

I was pleasantly surprised about the quality services Cocoa provided. 1) The management kept checking n cleaning the corridor, kitchen area and empty rooms very often - saw its staff cleaning from morning until noon. 2) Provided with “basic and sensible necessities” such as clean towels, hair dryer, shampoo, hair treatment, body cleanser, facial cleanser, and even moisturizing lotion.. 3) One little minus, breakfast menu was the same while I stayed - So every morning, I had loafs of bread with strawberry jam and orange juice. lol

Thank you!”

We arrived late from the check in time. Supposedly check in time is until 11pm but we arrived past 1am. We got lost. But still, Jinu accommocated us. He oriented us about the place, the facilities and the rules in the guest house. We enjoyed our stay for the value of the money that we spent, it was worth it. Breakfast was good, athough it would be better if we can cook. But that is just minor. The guest house was clean and well maintained. I love the facial foam which i looked for in the beauty shops and i got one at Natures Republic! Thank you, Jinu and Jeremy for welcoming us! It was indeed a great stay!

It is 3 stories high with no elevator, so it can be a hard task for those with large baggages. The facilities are clean and staff are very friendly. For breakfast, very simple bread with jams, I had hoped there were eggs but there was none when I stayed. It's a good location if you are the type to go to clubs and karaoke bars. But it can be a long walk to the hongik stn. But a good way to walk through hongdae and see what it offers

If you are in Seoul to go out and have fun at night, Cocoa is definitely a great option. It is worth the money and the location is at the very centre of the nightlife area. Literally outside, there are several clubs. The only real issue was how hard the bed was, it was like sleeping on a wooden board.
