I enjoyed my stay at Lux Guesthouse, especially the great location near Hongdae and the cozy living room. However, there were some downsides, like the limited number of showers and toilets and close bunk beds which made it a bit noisy at times.

I stayed in a 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room, and while the bed was comfortable, the close proximity to others meant I could hear snoring nearby.

My stay at Lux Guesthouse had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right in the center and close to the metro station. However, climbing to the 5th floor without an elevator was challenging, especially with luggage. I appreciated having hot water and clean towels, but the cleanliness could definitely use some improvement.

I stayed in a bunk bed in the female dormitory. While the room was adequately equipped, it was dusty, and my allergies acted up. The bunk bed was okay, but the bottom mattress caused me some back pain.

The check-in process worked well for my late arrival, but the main entrance door was unreliable and frustrating to deal with. I often had to wait for the manager to assist with it, which was annoying.

The facilities were okay overall. They had housekeeping, but I felt the common areas needed better tidiness. The access to the washing machine was a bit awkward since it required passing through my room.

I had a decent stay at Lux Guesthouse, mainly due to its awesome location near Sinchon station and Hongdae, but there were definitely some hiccups. The first night was a bit chaotic because I ended up sharing a bed by mistake, which was sorted out quickly by the owner. However, the electronic door lock was a pain, leaving me waiting outside at times. Overall, it was a mixed experience, leaning more towards average.
