Excellent Place To Stay
It’s my 3rd time here and I’m always happy staying at BOA..as a solo traveler, the single room is just nice for me..and it’s muslim friendly too..there’s actually arrow pointing where the kiblat is so it’s easy for us to pray, a cutleries for muslim and also prayer room..but I’m sad this time because the restaurant was closed and I’m dying to have their delicious fried chicken! Hopefully when I comeback next year the restaurant is open..thank you again BOA!

This is my 2nd time staying at Boa. Seems like it might be my 1st choice of stay if i come to Korea. It’s near the airport railroad, a few convenience stores. The fact that it’s walking distance to Hongik and also walking distance to Sinchon (ps: a lil walk. will be ok for those who enjoy walking if not there’s a bus to Sinchon. It’s also near the bus station and you can take the bus to Sinchon and Edae. And as a muslim, i find it convenient with the kitchen with muslim catered utensils. A little sad that the Halal restaurant was close when i went there on December 2018. Hopefully it’ll open again soon. The room was clean and toilet is quite big if you were to take the twin room. For double room, a little tight but still manageable. Overall, i find Boa to be the preferred place for me compared to the ones i’ve stayed in before.

Overall was generally good except the receptionist wasn't friendly as to provide info when approached. Either she is not knowledgeable or unwilling to help in providing basic questions which I think many tourists would ask. Not even a fake smile was seen from her face throughout our 8 nights stay!

Enjoyable Stay
This is my second time back to BoA. I've stayed at BoA for more than a month in total. It's located at the quieter area in Hongdae. It's convenient to get dinner at late timings, but you can still enjoy the serenity back at your accommodation. It's located near the train station making travelling around easy. The single room is bigger than most of the other places I've stayed in Seoul. Everything you need is available in the guesthouse, from a mini fridge in your own room, to a kitchen and self-serve laundry in the common places. I'll definitely stay here again in the future.

Definitely no frills guesthouse
My stay at BoA was not very pleasant due to the noise coming from next room. Initially one of the guests was having their shower at 5 am and 'the noise barrier' between rooms was bad so I get woken up at this early in morning. The next guests in that room checked in at 3 am and they were noisy till 5 am. My sleep was affected by the noise. There is no housekeeping in my room even though I stayed there 2 weeks and the iron is not working well. The fridge in the room is noisy. Overall my stay here was not very pleasant.

Love this hostel
I really love the hostel. They provide washer machine, room with two simple bedroom with private bathroom. They accomodate me with my check-in and check-out after and before the time who was outside of the business hours. The staff was cool and understanding. The only down point is the bathroom that the door is directly in from of one bed. Me and my roomate decide to wash again their cover because it was getting dirty easily. Overall, I will go back to this place and recomended to anyone.

The room is clean and bright. As they have mentioned, the bed linen are of hotel grade. It is very comforatble after a long day walk. The staff are friendly and helpful. Have been staying here for the fourth time. Preferred the common kitchen which was located at 1st floor rather then presently moved to 5th floor, which is smaller and kind of isolated.

Good experience at BoA ^^
It is conveniently located near Hongik Univ. subway station. The staff were very friendly, and I felt comfortable in my small single room. There is a special side menu for breakfast every morning too (aside from the usual bread and cereal)! Water purifiers are available on almost every floor. Stove, fridge, pots and pans are available in the common kitchen. But there is a smaller fridge in my room too! The television in the room keeps entertained while I'm alone in the room too. Card access is used for the guesthouse entrance, and as your room key. So remember not to lose the card! ^^

Great location and very clean
Room - I stayed in a private room with private bath on the third floor. The room was very small but very clean. One of the cleanest hostels I've seen. My room was near the elevator. It was quiet and I didn't hear of the comings and goings of other tenants. The size of the room didn't bother me. There were three windows so I had plenty of natural light. Besides, I was only sleeping and showering there because I was exploring Seoul. The bed was firm but comfortable and the bed linens were adequate. The wifi was fast and reliable. Staff - The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. They helped me plan my subway routes for different sites and I even got suggestions on where to go for a cheap but down-home Korean meal. In addition, they have a marker board at the entrance welcoming new check-ins by name. Mini handwritten guides with basic Korean phrases were available in multiple languages at the front desk. Kitchen/food - I didn't eat breakfast there but used the kitchen to make tea. It is large with plenty of dining tables and space for multiple users. It was clean and all the appliances were in working order.

The travel houses facilities are immaculately clean and the rooms although small are well designed and even has heated floors. The kitchen is set up for communal dining and breakfast is included.
