Great choice of accomodation!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Aug 2017
I had a really enjoyable stay at Rio House Hongdae in August 2016. The location was great (practically next to one of the Hongdae station exits) and near to the main Hongdae area (which is pretty lively), and it was also safe and not noisy at night.

The owner, Insung, was super friendly and helpful - he even went out of his way to help me research on the route to Ulleungdo (this rather remote island) and purchase ferry tickets, and when there was a chance that our return ferry would get cancelled due to bad weather, he spent quite a bit of time and effort helping us translate and arrange to be on the next available ferry.

Thanks Insung (and apologies for the late review). Will definitely recommend this place!

I highly recommend Rio house. They are very accommodating who treat us like their family. They never hesitated to check up on us and they even give suggestions where to go shop and eat. Their place is very clean and gives a homey ambience. They are one of the reasons why we enjoyed our stay in Seoul.

Rio is always a good choice for staying in Seoul as it is conveniently located in Hongdae with easy access to different areas within the city by different means of transportation. Hospitality from Insung is always nice and great. Attentive service is another key of staying with Rio House again. No doubt, Rio House is our place of accommodation next trip to Seoul.

Rio House is very convenience, nearby the exit 2 of Hongdae station. 7-Eleven and Starbucks near the building, Rooms also great for 4 peoples to stay and we have many luggage. Air condition and the hot water (shower) is good. Insung is a very helpful guy. Next time to Sel must choose Rio House again.

I am a frequent visitor of Korea, and Rio House Hongdae has always been my preferred choice of accomodation. It is highly convenient to travel in and out due to the close proximity to the subway station (a few minutes walk), and finding food is just so simple. Most importantly, service is great and am truly appreciative of the help rendered throughout my trip. I would highly recommend tourists to stay at Rio House Hongdae.

Ever since I've stayed at Rio House for the first time, it has become the only choice for me. I have since stayed there for 3 times.

The location is perfect - just a 2 mins walk from Hongdae station. You can take the AREX train from Incheon and reach Hongdae within an hour. The shopping area is just across the street with countless restaurants nearby. There’s a 7-11 in the street beside and a small supermarket further behind.

Rio House has studio apartments that are huge – all comes with kitchenette and bathroom. There’s a self-service laundry room in basement 2. They offer tour packages and the best thing – help to order food delivery!

The owner, Insung, is very responsive and friendly too. Before our arrival, I contacted him to ask about luggage storage as we would be arriving very early in Seoul. He was so nice to offer us to check-in the room directly, allowing us to have a short rest before touring Seoul. What’s more – he left 2 power adapters in the room. This shows that he really takes care of the details and traveler's needs.

Seoul is definitely a city I yearned to return and I’ll absolutely choose Rio House!
