Very good experience ”
I stayed at Mamas & Papas Guesthouse for one month straight and it was a very good experience. The location is perfect (a lot of restaurant, shop, subway stations very near...), the guesthouse is really good, it's very clean. And the most important thing, the staff is extraordinary. Really!!! The staff is really nice, you can feel like home. I'll for sure come back to this guesthouse if I return to Seoul one day.
Great stay, homey and hospitable”
It was great. We had a mishap with the reservation since they had no rooms available for some of the days we booked (site mishap) but mamas and papas staff did their best to accommodate us and make us comfortable. They made the trip a success and I don't regret booking and staying with them at all. They showed us some great places to eat like base camp and they took us out to dinner. Being able to make breakfast in the morning was great. It had a great home vibe. My friend that accompanied me for her first time in Korea felt she got the real experience and felt we stayed at the perfect place to get to know the local point of view, night life and a good hospitable experience. I'd definitely come back again. Thank you for everything, l loved my stay. It's not the best but I feel it was kinda perfect.
Great location”
Nice stuff! Great location because you can walk from Hongdae easily. Near subway Sangsu station exit 1 more than Hongik station. Some night are lounder because of celebrate night like before christmas (24 Dec) but another night are fine. Someday we have to wake up early or lately because 8:00a.m-11:00a.m have mavy people use toilet. Anyway generally are great :) Thank you for warm welcome Mamas & Papas!
An amazing place ”
Since I travelled a little bit around asia, I've been in good and bad places.. but mamas&papas is my fav with no doubt and no sugar coating! From the owner to the guests everyone was kind and friendly, thank you all for the delightful times
Great Place!”
I had an amazing experience here. Got a great deal to start out with and I had nothing to complain about about the whole experience. Oscar is an awesome dude and will help you out with anything you need. Bedroom, sheets, bathroom, and kitchen were all clean. They have free bread and coffee, so not too much of a breakfast, but better than nothing. You can buy your own food and cook it there if you want though. If you're in Hongdae to party, this is your place to go. It's surrounded by bars and clubs so it can get a little loud outside but not too bad. If you aren't too picky it won't be a problem
Location HONGDAE”
It is in the middle of hongdae and even though you can hear a lot of people and transit in front of the hostel, the rooms are very quiet and no noise at all, we were 4 people so we had a big bed and a bunk bed so it was perfect. There is a common area with kitchen so it is nice if you need to cook and also laundry.
Dear Harold, Thank you so much for the kind review... We wish you a great day and always. Regards, RESERVATIONS
definitely recommend!”
The staff is very nice and friendly~!! the location is very good, there are many restaurants, cafes, and shops near by it! it is good for backpackers and it is near by clubs. From Hongdae station(line 2,green line) it takes less than 10 min on foot. buy the way, they have washing machine and dryers! No reason to hesitate!!!
Excellent”
Staff is super friendly. Guesthouse is located at the centre of Hongdae, easy to reach MRT and shops as well as restaurant
Friendly staff, good location, comfortable,”
I will certainly stay again at mamas and papas.
My kids love the place.”
Beds are comfortable though room is a bit small because it is a guesthouse and understable becauae the price we paid ia really low...so it is perfect and budget friendly. We will come back and recommend it...
Relaxation time”
I absolutely loved it. It was my first time staying in a single bedroom at any guesthouse. I was pleasantly surprised with it and was glad I chose it. The room is perfect for one person and you can fit your bags under the bed. There was a mini fridge and a mirror in the room. The bathroom are a good size and the water was always nice and warm-hot.
100% satisfactory”
Overall good, but it's so hard to find the location for the first time. Anyway i probably come in to Mamas&Papas next time when I traveling to Seoul again :)
Great!!”
The hostel was clean and had fantastic facilities. You can use washing machine & dryer for free also power outlet and Hair dryer in the room. This is a good place to meet people. Rooftop is spacious!! Many restaurants and bars are near distance. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone wanting to travel to Seoul.
A jewel in the heart of a Hongdae”
This is such amazing, clean and cozy place I've ever been in Seoul! The staff is just amazing, specially Oscar! Oscar is a guy from the reception who speak good English and able to help you for everything! He is just 10 out of 10!!!! The female bed dorm is a bit small but really comfortable and there is kitchen window th breakfast! Not to mention the location is close to everything! I would stay here again! Thanks for everything!!!!
Very Hospitable Staff, Value for the money, nice location”
The guesthouse is in a very nice location near shopping district and train satiation. cleanliness of the place is well maintained by the staff/management. I really feel at home while staying there, rhey even suggest on what places we need to visit and how to get there. making our stay in korea a very memorable.😊
Cheap accommodation in Seoul”
Stayed here for 8 nights, room was almost empty most of the time. Feels like private room somehow eventhough i stayed in a room for 6. Close to hongdae area and so many restaurants around. Never got the breakfast because not many available, but thats fine. Got a super cheap deal for the room from Agoda.
Perfect!”
The place is completly clean. There're plenty of restaurantes, bars and markets around. 10 min by walking to train staion and 05 minutos to the Bus station. You can get easy many tourist places in Seoul. The kitchen is good! Only one point.. there is comon area.
This is a perfect place to stay. I mean you will just sleep anyway and be out the whole day. ”
The guesthouse is closed to 3 stations which makes it ieasy for me to go anywhere in Korea. The staff are very friendly and helped for directions to get to places where i worried about od finding. Seems they memorized the spots in Korea. RECOMMENDED.
Exceptional”
The staffs were very accommodating. I would really recommend this guesthouse to my friends :)
It's great and a good location ”
It's easy to fine from Sangsu subway station, my friend and i stayed only 1 night everyone in there very helpful. I'll back again, so lovely Guesthouse.:)
