This is probably one of the most value-for-money accoms given its close proximity to Hongdae Station Exit No. 3 and the price. Hotel is also very clean and well-maintained and in the middle of a bustling area full of restaurants and cafes.
The rooms are a little squeezy. Okay for solo travelers but perhaps a little challenging for couples or small families.

Great room, small but comfortable and had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, room was super clean and The location is AMAZING. They have a back door that opens onto a series of streets filled with places to eat. We were spoilt for choice whenever we stepped out for cafes, restaurants and boutique shops. The proximity to Hongdae’s various theme streets is also great to explore.
The only problem we had was payment. Not one of the 6 cards we had (both debit and credit and from the UK + AUS) worked to pay for the room. We hadn’t had a single problem with our cards prior to this. The hotel staff said this was common and we needed to pay in cash. The staff checked us in regardless and allowed us a couple of days to get cash. We had to go to multiple different ATMs to get enough cash which was quite stressful. I would recommend Cleo does something to fix their system, allow for payment through booking.com, OR at least tell customers to bring cash. The breakfast is super basic, just toast and packaged biscuits and drinks. Totally fine in a pinch if you need to get up early because most cafes in the area don't open until 10am.

5-stars all around! We stayed there for 2 weeks and the aesthetic of the rooms and the cleanliness of them and the bathrooms were excellent! No one got bed bugs even though the rooms are cleaned every 2 days. We got fresh towels and the bathroom+shower have hot water...and they have AC! The rooms do not need to be spacious as we were really there to sleep and rest for the next day. The staff, especially mr. Billy and the morning staff helped us get transportation to/from the airport. They refreshed the breakfast/lounge area on a daily basis with juice boxes, cereal, milk, coffee and bread. Everything is super clean and they offer free umbrellas that you use and return. Also the location of this hotel is incredible. This is in the hub of this university town Hongdae. Being a first time in Korea and clueless of the different areas, this hotel location is not far from the bus stops while still being located in the mini alley-ways with direct access to the cafes and shopping. It is very quiet inside the hotel with views of the street from our rooms. Very thankful that our first experience turned out to be safe and fun.
Most of the cafes don't open until 11:30am. So if you're an early riser or haven't adjusted to the time differences, there isn't much to do until the cafes open...but breakfast area at Cleo is restocked/opened at 8:30am!

Excellent location from the subway station at Hongik University, as well as a walk through Yeonnam-dong behind the hostel. Clean and comfortable, the room is very small but it doesn't matter for me to stay alone.

Staff are very nice and helpful. They speaks good English and always have smile on their faces. My stay became much easier and memorable because of them. Rooms are very clean.
It's about 6 mins walk from Hongdae station exit 3 to the hostel, but it's upslope. Maybe difficult for travellers with heavy luggage.

Staff were accomodating from checkin to check out, helpful with our questions on how to go around Seoul and the area. Alex the front office, even assisted us to book a taxi at 5am. Near convenience store, and lots of cafe and restaurant. Clean and comfy beds. The common room was also my favorite part to hang out, as you don't have much space to sit/ stretch in the room except for the bed. And the light breakfast is a sweet touch.
Rooms were tiny. Would have wanted a bit more floor space. If you have luggages, space is not enough to open your luggage.

Hostel Cleo was by far the cleanest hostel or hotel I've stayed in. The staff was wonderful, helpful and friendly. I am grateful for them! Inside the room, the big window made the small space feel so comfortable and lovely. The property itself is nice and well-taken care of. The bed was so comfortable, the body wash smelled good, and the slippers inside were nice and not nasty and crusty. It was great to have a mini fridge inside the room; a total perk for a hostel. The lounge on the B1 level was great to have, also nicely decorated and clean. Having a 24-hour coin-op laundry was also such a wonderful perk. I was concerned the hostel would be too far a trek from the subway station, but it was not; it was a 3-5 minute walk. The location was great, surrounded by so many shops and gorgeous cafes, plus the beautiful Gyeongui Line Forest Park. They also had umbrellas for the guests to borrow and a (bare) patio on the fifth floor which was nice to take in the view of the city.
These are cons but not deal breakers: The breakfast was not great for someone who is vegan (there were some cute-looking pastries, but they may not have been vegan-friendly), but the juice boxes were great. Mango FTW! The room was small, but that was expected. That said, there was still enough room that it didn't feel super cramped for a solo traveler. There was no full-length mirror available, but if you need to check your full outfit, the reflection inside the elevator will do in a pinch.

Great location near many nice bars and restaurants, and with great subway and bus connection through Homgdae University station
The room was to the street and this a bit noisy, but it was alright. It was listed as a twin room, but the room was tiny, it was two mattresses right neckt to each other

The location is good, just 5 minutes walk from the Hongdae subway and another 3 minutes walk to Hongdae Shopping Street. There are cafes and restaurants just at the doorstep of the hotel. There is a small lounge in the basement where breakfast is served, which is great since our whole group (14 ppl) love to gather at the lounge for small briefings. And the lounge there is freeflow of juice, hot water, free usage of microwave with cups, bowls and utensils to use. The room is clean and comfy. Staffs are friendly too. Love their hospitality. Highly recommended.
Room soundproofing could be improved. We can hear people on the street chitchatting at night from our room on the 4th floor. All else is just perfect.
