Clean Clean Clean. Very Clean. Ability to get tissues, towels yourself in cute little lobby with ironing board and microwave, and typical hot/cold fresh water. Shared big fridge. Basic room, as long as I have my own bathroom and Air con, that's all I need. Super Convenient, close to subway and buses. Local neighborhood about 15 restaurants and coffee shops, easy to get a quick meal after tourist day somewhere else, very friendly coffee shop opens at 7:00 a.m. Quiet and homey place about ten minute to twenty minute subway to places you want to visit. One stop down from Seoul Station and Myeong-dong for lively activity. Clean easy-peasy, quiet location close to everything,

Cosy room with all the amenities needed

Found the hotel after a little detour where we walked past the sign (too busy looking at our map than our surroundings). Check-in was simple and straight forward. Our room was cosy and on the smaller side - more than expected, but it was ample and had all the things needed (hair dryer, small table/chairs, TV, wife, good sized bathroom with shower). The hotel was in a quiet area very close to the subway exit (1 minute) so it was perfect for our needs. Nearby were some convenience stores, small restaurants and fast food chains (KFC, Lotteria, Choongman chicken). In the morning the breakfast provided was a nice start to the day with orange juice, coffee, tea, bread for toast and cereal on offer. A late check out at 12pm is also very generous so great for those who like to get up later or have later plans. Would recommend as a good spot for a stay in the city for those travelling or with business in the city.

Great deal, friendly and accommodating staff

I stayed for two nights in mid-October. -The location is very near the station (go out exit 1, turn right at the first side street, up a small hill, and then left at the sign for the hotel, maybe 20-30 meters up the road). It's one stop from Seoul Station on the #4 subway line, and only three stops from Myeong-dong. -Its a great value! For the price of a hostel bed with a shared bathroom in many places in Seoul, you can get a private room and bathroom. -The staff were great! Very friendly, helpful, and accommodating, especially when my trip ended up having a late-night arrival and earlier-than-expected departure. - I might have been more comfortable if I'd brought a pair of earplugs (the first night only - there was a bit more activity that night, and a loud snorer in one of the other rooms) and a set of travel sheets (the bed had a mattress pad-style sheet and comforter, which were fine, but I personally like actual sheets, too). Of course, those are not necessary, just my preference. -The room seemed very clean (a little old and run-down, but clean) but the second night I did see a couple small bugs in the bathroom. That's probably something you'd see in most places in the same price range, though, and they disappeared when the light was on. -Be aware, this is a guesthouse, not a 5-star hotel. (A mid-upper range hotel is going to cost a lot more, in Seoul.) Overall, I had a good stay! Know what you're booking and you won't be disappointed.

Great Location

We chose this guesthouse for the price and location. It is located one stop away from Seoul Station and is easy to find. The bathroom is consisted of a shower head/hose over the toilet and sink but is separated from the room by another door. Breakfast is toast with butter/jam, cornflake cereal, milk, and juice. Dining area is in the lobby and can get crowded with more than 4-5 guests eating breakfast at the same time. Free tea (good tea), coffee, and water in lobby. There was also a laundry room with washing machine and dryer (we didn't get a chance to use it but I believe it was free to use-huge plus, plus we noticed in Japanese and Korean hotels,guesthouses, motels, etc.) Also, guesthouse is located in a great location with many, many restaurants and stores. I would stay here again!

Convenient place, helpful host! Would stay again!

The host was very helpful! Prior to my stay, I studied a little Korean to help bridge language barriers that may occur, so me and the host were able to communicate in both English and Korean. He was able to direct me to some local places that I wanted to go to and was very helpful throughout my stay! The first floor hallway is a little tight so be aware of that if you bring a large 29" suitcase like I did. Not difficult, though. I would definitely choose to stay here again, as it is very close to the subway station and pretty close off the street. Thank you, again!

Friendly and comfortable guest house

We spent 2 weeks at the guest house, while we visited family. It was a comfortable setting for my daughter and myself. We were in walking distance to the Sookmyung Women's University, Hyochang Park and my son's apartment. We were able to take advantage of the great jogging and walking trails in the park, which made our stay in the area much more advantageous. Andy, the owner, was extremely friendly, helpful and very dedicated to making his guests comfortable. It was easy to feel at home and happy to return to our room after a day of siteseeing and visiting family.

For the price range, a great bargain

For the price range, this is probably the best "hotel" that I've ever stayed at. The bedroom and the bathroom were both very roomy and comfortable, the hotel staff was very nice and helpful, and it's located right next to the subway station. Plus, there are a lot of nice and cheap restaurants and cafes close by, as there is a college in the area.

Going up on a hill to the guesthouse is bit tiredsome however I enjoyed my staying there. The staff is really nice and they're open to any questions and suggestions. The room I stayed was bit humid with little window. But it was all right overall with the price. I would want to come here again.

Great for a Budget

Finding the guest house was very simple (Exit 1 from Sookmyung Women's University Station--blue line, up the subway stairs, 15 ft straight and up the sloping driveway on the right f the Contractor's building; then, look up towards the left and you will see the sign). We were attending a conference at the University and walked to it (about a 15-20 minute walk). The staff (Jimmy) was helpful, knowledgeable about the area, and super friendly. If you don't want to spend a bunch of money on a bed, this is a great place to stay. The room and bedding was clean (small room, but that is normal for Korea). The hot water was readily available and very hot (easily adjustable by the faucet). The bed's softness was standard to Korea (more firm than any American bed, so if you are not used to sleeping on a firm bed, it may not be 100% comfortable for you). I gave 4 stars for the surrounding area because at the end of the lane, there is a government building for "out-of-place" workers, and several people "hang-out" around this building--they are not noisy or anything, but if you are a single woman, you may feel the need to walk quickly past them. If you are not from Korea, rest assured that Korea is the 4th safest country in the whole world (the USA is ranked at 88th safest--you do the math). I have lived in Korea for nearly 4 years--this guest house was adequate for my needs.
