Miyu

I booked a treatment with Miyu and just got back after it. During the consultation, the doctor first conducted a skin test and then analyzed the results to identify my issues. When I mentioned a specific treatment, the doctor immediately pointed out that it wouldn’t address my main concerns and suggested trying a different approach. I found this very reliable. Throughout the procedure, the doctor remained highly focused, constantly observing my reactions and adjusting their techniques accordingly. Before each step, they would explain what I could expect, which helped me feel more at ease. The whole process was well-managed. After the treatment, the supervisor gave me a list of precautions and even wrote a small note to ensure I didn’t forget anything. Overall, my experience was excellent – I didn’t encounter any problems or negative surprises.

Local stitch is a great place if you are the following travellers: digital nomad who is staying in Korea for few months, and second time visitor who really liked quieter neighbourhoods around hongdae like seogyo or yeonnam and looking to just stay in this area. I personally enjoyed staying in this budget friendly room. It's not rich in amenities, but it was clean and comfortable to stay. If you've stayed in business hotels in Japan, I think it's somewhat close to that, but slightly bigger. I enjoyed its shared spaces, and I think that's a real charm of this place. I started my morning by going to the gym, went to the coworking space, and then wrapped up my day in cozy cafes and restaurants. It even has a room where you can listen to records. I don't think I can recommend this place to a first-time traveler who is looking to quickly hop into a subway and go to a lot of different neighborhoods though. Few extra things: You have to purchase some amenities due to Korean environmental laws such as toothbrush or shaving kit. You have to buy slippers too, and I wish I brought Crocs. The washroom does not have a shower curtain, so water splashes everywhere. A quick-drying slipper like Crocs would have been really useful.

This hotel style definitely isn’t for everyone, but I really liked it a lot. The rooms are small and simple, with no amenities provided, but it’s cozy and you can make it work if you’re creative with using the space. We weren’t allowed to use the AC when we were there, but with the window open, it was perfect. Loved the deep dish tub and the heated bidet seat for the bathroom too. I really liked the amenities provided by the hotel though, such as the really nice gym, working space, accessible coin laundry (with change machine) and shared kitchen space. It’s really awesome if you’re a simple traveller, perhaps looking to do some work while travelling, and liked being by the hong dae area. It’s about a 10 minute walk, but where you are is quiet enough that you’re not in the bustle of hong Dae. There’s also a lot of cafes and restaurants nearby, and it’s all yummy and more quiet. Overall, for my self, I will definitely be back.

First of all this place is very affordable, the rooms are super tiny. Feels more like a dorm, the bed is very comfortable, there is a small fridge in a nice bathroom and tub. The facilities are really great, very spacious, working areas, the gymnasium is huge and very well equipped with weights, treadmills, and Pilates equipment. You get a daily breakfast, consisting a soup of the day, salad, bread, and a beverage. There's laundry and shared kitchen available. The location is prime close to restaurants and bars, and only a 10 minute walk to Hongik University subway station

Very far from the train station. No basic amenities like toothbrush, room slippers and daily housekeeping. This is basically a hostel but they are charging hotel prices for your stay.

The amenities at this location (full set gym, self-serving kitchen, and laundry) are quite impressive. Rooms are on the small side but generally clean and well maintained. Great location and convenience to Hongdae and the metro station. Personally, I would stay at this location again, simply for the overall value proposition. AC couldn't get below 27C for some reason. Walls are quite thin, so you may be able to hear your neighbours.
