Felt more like an elevated youth hostel. Very little amenities in the rooms (no hand soap?! No closet, slippers or TV) and house keeping not provided for stays under 7 days. Location is convenient, about 10min walk from Hongdae so it’s quiet.

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.

I am staying here for 3 nights and I am beyond disappointed. The bathroom have awful layouts, the AC doesn’t work and my room will not get cooler than 27 degrees, I have a rash all over my body after spending one night sleeping in the sheets, and upon arriving there was a literal blood stain on my headboard of my bed. The location is nice but do not stay here. It is not worth it at all.

it’s a co-working space with a hotel as well. the rooms are pretty basic and provide a good enough space for a no frills vacation, if your intent is to spend most of the day outside. the air conditioning is centrally controlled and is something to take note of - i went in spring and the AC was switched off entirely. we had to open the windows for some ventilation and cool breeze to come in (don’t worry there’s a bug mesh). aside than that it is placed in a fantastic location at seogyo-dong, which is in between mangwon and hongdae. you get great accessibility to other areas of seoul with the subway options available, and there’s plenty to eat and do around the area too. plenty of chill cafes and restaurants that aren’t too expensive and are actually really decent.

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.
