Guest Reviews

• jie yi (7/5): - 1.住宿地點離弘大很近，不過如果拖著大行李走在人行道比較不方便 2.房間空間大 3.有提供吹風機和離子夾 1.住宿都在二樓，上樓時房東會好心幫忙抬行李，但check out時一定是自己來，有大行李的人要自己斟酌。 2.早餐時間是8:30-10:00，我們早上9:10去餐廳，房東媽媽不耐煩說我們太晚到，態度很不好，對我們講話都用平語，感受很差。原本看大家評論都是房東會很熱情招待，很失望。
• Vivian (10/5): - I had really good time in Korea . This property is simple but is really good for a sole traveler like me. I was able to walk and go everywhere by subway. Its very close! The staff was kind and helpful . Thank for your guys help . I will stay there again
• Hamse (10/5): -
• SUN&SUN (5/5): - 음식은 맛있었습니다. 아침 9시가 넘은 시간임에도 다른사람들 잔다며 조용히하라고 하시는데 ..많이 불쾌했습나다. 물론 저는 혼자이고 다른이와 크게 주고받는 상황이 아니었지만.
• Chia Hui (8/5): -
• Louis (9/5): Agréable maison d'hôte simple avec accueil et excellent petit déjeuner. - La maison d'hôte est vraiment bien située proche des transports en commun. Très bon rapport qualité / prix. Nous avons reçu un excellent accueil. Réponse très rapide à toutes questions par message. Petit déjeuner (entre 9h et 10h) typiquement Coréen, excellent et copieux. Véritable repas (riz, viande, légumes, fruits, ...) qui permet de bien lancer sa journée. Ne vous attendez pas à un hôtel classique mais une maison avec chambres qui permet de vivre simplement et hors des sentiers battus. Expérience géniale en ce qui nous concerne.

• jinjuan (8/5): -
• 邱 (9/5): - 當天有點太晚抵達，還好剛好有遇到老闆，親切帶我入住跟介紹環境 1.本來很期待早餐，但好像有點過度期待哈哈哈，（沒有肉） 2.距離地鐵站大概10分鐘哦，有點距離
• Jodie (10/5): -
• KristjanJekimov (5/5): Just ok - The location was convenient and in a quiet neighbourhood. Easy to get to. The breakfast was nice, classical Korean style but nutritious and delicious. The host was also great and left a good impression. The room and bathroom had seen better days. We were on the first floor and the ventilation was a bit lacking so the whole room felt very damp. In addition there was no real place to put your clothes or things, so we loved out of the bag. In general the price to quality ratio is a bit off. But I guess we booked it just a bit in advance and it was weekend so the prices might have been a bit higher.
• jan (4/5): -
• YU HSIN (6/5): CP值不高 - 離地鐵有一段距離，要經過很多巷子，不太適合單獨旅遊的女性 不適合追星早出晚歸的人，隔音很差，使用民宿的吹風機會被要求降低音量 浴室沒有乾濕分離，也完全沒有放置衣服的空間
• Janet (7/5): - Location great Host good Expensive for basically a backpackers Not great clean
• Frank (5/5): Es ist eine Souterrain-Mini Wohnung. Ich konnte gut schlafen, hatte mehr Aufenthaltsqualität erwarte - Die Lage hat mir gefallen Ich hatte aufgrund der Beschreibung etwas mehr Hotelgefühl erwartet
• YUHSUAN (9/5): -
• YI PING (8/5): -
• Sara (8/5): -
• Ivonne (8/5): -
• Sophie (7/5): - Top locatie in Hongdae, veilige buurt. Vriendelijk personeel (deels dmv vertaal app). Kamer leek schoon. Er was een vervelende indringende geur in de algemene ruimte en de slaapkamer, gedurende mijn verblijf van 1 nacht. De kamer was vrij donker, het was zeer gehorig. Locatie was niet goed aangegeven met bijvoorbeeld een bordje (wel te vinden obv foto’s). Met name voor de prijs vond ik de kwaliteit tegenvallen.
• Jeremy (9/5): Excellent. Definitely would come back. - The property was great. The walls were thin as you can hear next door talking and using their hair blower at 12:30am. The owners were lovely and prepared excellent breakfast. The location was fantastic as it was close to metro and all the restaurants.
• Ngo Yin (8/5): -
• 孟華 (8/5): - 老闆與阿姨人很好 無
• 張 (10/5): -
• Arya (8/5): - Bra läge, snäll och hjälpsam personal Det var svårt att raka sig med Lampan i badrummet.
• Chu (7/5): -
• Jessica (9/5): - Great, quiet location in Hongdae - very convenient to get anywhere in Seoul. Super helpful and friendly owners (communicate through translation app) and lovely breakfast. Offers laundry service for a reasonable price as well. Good wifi and plenty of extension cords. Bathroom was large with window for ventilation. Small bedroom (not much space to open luggage) with dark walls, but not a problem given the price!
• Chou (9/5): -
• Claire (10/5): Enjoyable and comfortable ! - We had such a great stay at good guesthouse. The rooms are clean, the location is great, but most importantly, the owners are very kind and helpful. We had amazing breakfast everyday. We definitely recommend this place !!
• Wu (7/5): -
• Jeffrey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Seyoung (8/5): Very good - Location is the best. You can go everywhere in Seoul without difficulties. Also there are many fine restaurants in neighbor.
• Pei (9/5): Superb - Thanks for the breakfast! No
• Anthony (10/5): Exceptional - It was very easy to find, a short walk from some really nice streets and generally very easy to check in and out. Very clean and comfortable!
• Phillips (10/5): A perfect location for a budget visit to Seoul, complimentary tea and coffee and comfortable basic accommodation. - Great location, wonderful Korean breakfast and very helpful nice family! All good
• Finola (5/5): Disappointing - The location was good and only a 10 minute walk from metro. The bedsheets were clean The room was extremely dark, like a dungeon.there was a window, but right outside the window was a wooden fence that blocked out any natural light. Breakfast didn't start until 9, by which time, we were usually already gone out. The breakfast room, again was very dark. Everything in the place was painted brown.and breakfast was minimal.
• Sophie (10/5): If you want to feel taken care of. Stay here. - I loved the location, they cook a meal for you every morning. You have a comfortable bed. What’s not to like really? Nothing I didn’t like.
• Efrat (6/5): Good location, nice hosts. Room is not good - Location is good, nice neighborhood near public transportation that was very comfortable. Traditional breakfast that was fresh and good, a home cooked meal by the owners which were very welcoming The room is a basement which was not mentioned. It was very stuffy, dark, the only window was closed with wood, felt no air in the room. The shower is substandard, hot water was unstable, shower was on the sink and toilet. The room is not well maintained with paint pilling off the floor. Not what we expected from a room at this price which wasn’t cheep
• Steffen (8/5): Very good stay in Hongdae - would book again. - Super friendly and helpful owner. Good, traditional breakfast. Everything very clean. WiFi is stable and fast. Location is easy to reach from Hongik University station (홍대입구역) in 10 minutes on foot. Easy to get to and from the Airport with the All Stops train. Everything in Hongdae is perfectly in walking distance from here. At least my room had plenty of electrical outlets, so no extension cords or so needed. The rooms were a little dark. The brown wall color made then feel smaller than they actually are. A lighter wall color would be nice.
• Ellen (8/5): Great stay with very kind hosts - Lovely host, very welcoming and kind. The breakfast in the mornings are delicious, and they will prepare it for you when you want it! The room and bathroom were quite alright! No complaints :) The location is a 13 minute walk from hongik univ. Station, right by hongdae street. I was a bit disappointed our room didn't have the city view like the advertisement said for the two-man room. Our bathroom wasn't quite as nice as the pictures either. Wish there was a microwave in the basement floor, so we wouldn't have to walk outside and upstairs to heat food. Otherwise we had a great stay!
• Annelie (9/5): Superb - Practical, clean and quiet place in a good neighborhood. The staff is som friendly and helpful. Make you feel home.
• Toan (9/5): Happy to return again - The owners really friendly and helpful a place as clean tidy and good location very present Stay.. Definitely come back will say that again
• Ray (5/5): Passable - Bathroom smelled damp, drains need cleaning. Room was cramped. Towels were worn out thin, scratchy, and smelly.
• Almiria (8/5): Central spot in Hongdae - The location was very central in the Hongdae area. The owner was very helpful and waited up late for me to check in. The room is clean with all the necessary amenities. Personally I don't like the wet room style shower (no separate shower) but that's common in Korea.
• Siobhan (10/5): Convenient, cozy and cost effective🫶🏼 - The Hosts were incredibly helpful and kind. Aunty took such great care of me and was very concerned with my safety which was soooo sweet. Breakfast was awesome, the train line was literally a left and right turn and down to the main road which made getting around a breeze. It was quiet and warm. I loved it
• Michelle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kyle (7/5): Great location and good value with some issues - Room was very clean, AC worked well, bunk bed was comfortable and plenty long for me at 6ft1in. Breakfast was excellent considering the price and was different both days. Older lady owner was friendly despite the limited english. Great location in nice calm area with a short walk to the subway, 7-11, and the nightlife area. Water and tea available right outside room. Room was super small, with nowhere to put anything, suggestion to add a shelf or folding stand or something where there was space in the corner, also needed a shelf to put phone near bunk bed. Didn't have the twin room available as advertised so went with the bunk, which was not a huge deal. The main problem was the strong sewage smell from the tiny bathroom that was awkward to shower in. There was an exterior window that you could open to relieve some of the smell.
• Alexandra (8/5): Very good -
• Jasmyne (7/5): Good short holiday stay - Good friendly staff and a good local variety of breakfast, prepared freshly by the owner's mum. Aircon control came with no instructions. Small room and toilet shower over the sink.
• Andrei (10/5): Really good guesthouse - Enjoyed my stay in this guesthouse. The hosts are really friendly. Amazing Korean style breakfast served. The location is in a quiet alley so no disturbances at night and with approximately 10 min walk you can get to transportation options. Do recommend
• Chelsea (6/5): Pleasant - The location of the guest house is very close to the subway. It is important to note that all of the rooms are off the main kitchen/dining area, so it can be noisy in the mornings while breakfast is being prepared and also it is not very private getting in and out of your room. If you are looking for a cheap place to stay this is fine but it is not as amazing as all the reviews make it out to be. Also, the breakfast is free, yes but it isn't anywhere near as good as made out in the reviews below. Sorry but just being honest 😀
• Ritter (9/5): nothing to say - Staff helpful! Try to help you as much as possible.
• Yue (8/5): Pretty nice! - Super nice auntie and oppa! I liked the Korean breakfast, especially the sweet fish(?) and the seaweed soup. No divider between the shower and toilet. Just be mindful if that and everything is fine. Also, there’s a staircase to the common room.
• Heidi (8/5): Very good - Private and spacious, a bit dated but clean. Walking distance to train which can continue to airport . Very convenient when flying out. A Korean breakfast was offered. Tea and coffee available any time. Helpful owners made it a nice stay. All was ok, no complaints.
• Aolani (10/5): I love this place. It was very clean and private. Owners were very nice and spoke good English. - Easy checkin. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Very clean private room and bathroom. Would stay again given the opportunity. Good location. None.
• Ting-yu (8/5): Very good -
• Sahakundu (10/5): Highly recomend staying here - Amazing place to stay. Clean, quite and near bus/metro stations. Very polite and helpful staff. Breakfast was very tasty. 10/10
• Eden (9/5): Great! - It was located in a perfect location, super friendly staff and was great value
• John (10/5): Great location. Nice hosts. Quiet and convenient. Close to the subway and many other attractions. - The guesthouse is located in a great area. It is quiet with a lot of cool cafes and restaurants close by with just a couple minutes walk. It’s all very close to Hongik University train station and lots of other shops and interesting markets in the Hongdae area. There is Korean breakfast cooked fresh every morning. The hosts are nice and helpful. Nothing
• Sophie (7/5): Good - The location is great, the neighbourhood is very lively and there is plenty of restaurants nearby. Tube station is quite close as well. The bathroom was a bit underwhelming. We had Japanese toilets but there was no plug close by so it wasn't working as it's supposed to, and the sink was leaking a lot, which is not convenient when you just want to wash your hand or brush your teeth, as it was running/splashing all over the floor.
• Camille (10/5): Exceptional - Located about a 5 minute walk from the metro stop and the Hongdae shopping street, GGH was perfect for the last few days of our visit to Seoul. We arrived early and were able to store our luggage until the room was ready, which was great! The breakfast provided always had lots of options and despite being so close to the main shopping area was quiet at night which was appreciated.
• Emmanuelle (9/5): Superb -
• Garcia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hamse (7/5): Good -
• Mathieu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Erik (10/5): Exceptional -
• Phoebe (10/5): 10/10 would stay here again - Amazing location close to Hongdae but in a cafe area so quiet at night with plenty of good food options nearby. Room was spacious and the beds were very comfy. Highly recommend you get up early enough for the amazing home made breakfasts!
• Thijs (9/5): Superb -
• Hurley (9/5): Wonderful stay - I stayed here with my friend, so we booked a room with two twin beds and they upgraded our room and put us in a room with two bunk beds for no extra charge! The bathroom was really big compared to other places. When we checked in, they gave us a cake as a gift. There is no elevator, but the staff carried our suitcases up the stairs for us. It was a long walk from the subway, but they provided a map and clear instructions.
• Rossana (10/5): Nice stay - Staff super kind and available. Very good Korean breakfast. A quiet house in the lively district of hongdae
• Anna (8/5): Very good - Good location. Booked at last minute so got a good deal. Check in very straightforward. Son very helpful and flexible around late checkout. Room was quite dark as was in basement. Got laundry done which was great but assumed I could pay on checkout but got asked several times the day before which was weird (i needed to get cash out as didn’t have any)
• Samuel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julie (10/5): The best stay I've ever had - Amazing everything! The hosts are especially amazing and the best welcome and care I have ever received at any place I have ever stayed! Nothing!
• Violet (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast is nice! Prepare by the host mom! Delicious and lot of choice! We had a great breakfast and we receive a small welcome gift when we check in! Thank to the host and definitely will back here again!
• Ong (7/5): Good -
• Rpm (7/5): Good - Overall this is a decent place and just a 7-8 minute walk from the Hongik Univ. station. Ki-ho strives to make your accommodation as seamless as possible and his mother, while limited with English, was also very friendly. She served a varied breakfast daily. As Seoul is a sprawling city, you can't be just 5 minutes away from everything but this location was reasonable as far as I was concerned. If you want a tour to the DMZ, Ki-Ho can arrange it no problem. 80,000 KWN I prefer to start my day a bit earlier so I wasn't overly keen on breakfast starting at 9:00 a.m. There were plenty of veggies but I had hoped for just a wee more protein. That said, eggs were in fact served a couple of the mornings -- just not probably how you're used to seeing them.
• Jeremy (8/5): Very good - Very sweet Owners. Omma cooked a great breakfast every single morning. Guesthouse is a great stay to get to know people. Great value for money if you just need a place to sleep. Dark rooms. Toilet and shower are basically next to each other, so after a shower the toilet and floor will be wet. You wear shoes in the house. I didn’t like that.
• Maciekja. (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lola4 (8/5): Great Location - Breakfast, Location, Host -
• Аида (10/5): Exceptional - The host treated us to a delicious cake and sweets
• Camille (10/5): Exceptional - They serve great breakfast and the owners were very accommodating
• Chinmay (8/5): Very good -
• Nadiana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ralph (9/5): Superb - The best thing for me is the breakfast! It's a feast, has a homemade touch to it, and I regret missing it on my first day. Everyone is very helpful and thoughtful, they let us deposit our bags since we arrived before check in time, and they even have a welcome gift. Room they gave is very spacious and cozy, if we didn't have any plans, we could just stay in the room whole day. Location is also good, near a few bus stops and train, and with lots of convenience stores around. The bathroom/restroom could use a little heating. It was extra challenging to wash up or use the toilet since it's very cold.
• Ryan (10/5): A cozy, comfortable stay - I liked how friendly and helpful the host, Mr. KiHo Lee and his mom (They operate the guesthouse) were. From the second my family and I arrived, Mr. Lee assisted us with all of our bags and helped us arrange transportation for the following day. Mr. Lee’s mom made a wonderful breakfast the following morning, which offered quite a bit of variety. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. The location is close to Hongik University and the Hongik University Metro stop. The area is vibrant with many restaurants, bars, and shopping to offer. My family and I look forward to the next time we can stay at the Good Guesthouse. N/A
• Bertijn (9/5): Superb -
• Yan (7/5): It's okay. - Good location and clean. It is quite pricey for the room. I didn't get to have breakfast because I left early in the morning so cannot comment on that. I booked it because I had a tour that started early the next morning, so was hoping to get a good rest. However there were at least three mosquitoes in the room because I had to wake up three times to deal with them. Ended up not having a good rest at all.
• Funchanok (10/5): Exceptional - Their staff and Korean Breakfast
• M (9/5): Will stay again during my next visit to Seoul - Delicious home cooked Korea breakfast by very friendly mum of the host. Mum treats every guest like her own children. Feels like home. Nothing
• Bee (8/5): Very good - I like the Korean breakfast which was prepared by the mother of the host. The host and his mother are both friendly and kind. We were given cheesecake, Korean snacks and mineral water on the first day we arrived. We were offered a bigger room on the third day of our stay. The location is about 8 mins walk from Hogiv Station exit 2. It was safe to walk around that area the middle of night. The water leaking from the bottom of the sink in the wash room.
• Yun (10/5): The host is very nice, more welcoming than any other places or country I’ve been to. I really recommend here. - The delicious breakfast and warm welcoming from the host. The room is very comfortable and quiet. Everything is perfect, it’s just I’m from a country that isn’t familiar with the heating system, which was quite surprised with the warmth of the room on the first night. I managed to turn on the air conditioner later, and the temperature became comfortable.
• Ludwig (9/5): Superb -
• Sijmen (9/5): Short visit - The location is great nearby Hongdae street. The instruction video is very handy to find the accommodation. It's very straightforward from exit 2. The host and lady in the morning at breakfast are very friendly. Nothing really
• Wolfgang (7/5): Good - a bit pricey for basement room
• Anna (9/5): Superb - Tha staff was so nice and kind and the bedroom are larger than other places in Korea. Also, the location was strategic and perfect to reach every place in the area. The room was big, but a bit dark, and the shower space was on the sink.
• Anonymous (9/5): The Good G made my trip more interesting. - The Good G is near Hongikuni.station, bus stops, only some minutes walking. It’s near restaurants and cafes where food and coffee are quite good. Room is very clean. Good Breakfast. The owners (mom & son) are very nice and friendly. The price for room is rather expensive compared with the others similar, maybe cauze the high season. However it’s worth with the nice owners who are ready to help and reply quickly your requests.
• Richard (10/5): Perfectly-placed guesthouse with superb breakfast - This was the first place I stayed in during my trip to Korea - and it exceeded all expectations. I arrived early, but the owner let me leave my luggage and lent me an umbrella. When I returned to check in, he gave me a (big) tasty cake as a welcome gift! The room is spacious, as is the bathroom. The beds are on the hard side (normal for Korea), but comfortable. The breakfast is INCREDIBLE. A feast of delicious Korean dishes, which are freshly cooked and change each day. A quick and easy laundry service is available at a competitive price. The location in Yeonnam-dong is also perfect - it's a 10-minute walk to the metro and the busy part of Hongdae, but the neighbourhood surrounding the guesthouse is really chill and full of fantastic cafes and restaurants. This place is excellent value for Seoul - book it now!
• Chiyuan (9/5): Great location, great hosts! - Great location, right in the center of a very lively area, and less than 10 minutes walk to the metro line 2 which can take you you to many different places of Seoul. The hosts are also very welcoming and helpful. They offer Korean breakfast for free every morning. We really love the stay there.
• Jutapit (9/5): Cozy, conveniently located place - The location is convenient, you can walk to Hongik Sta. (either Exit 1 or 2) or to main road to catch buses/taxis, or to the busier areas of Hongdae for shopping and (street) food. It is quite a walk if you have big luggage though. The surrounding area is pretty quiet, but there are many restaurants and convenient stores nearby. I stayed alone, but the room is also good for 2 people (bunk bed). The room is equipped with everything you need except for microwave that you can find in the common area/kitchen. The owner was really helpful and kind (and gave me a cute cake and snacks!). Although breakfast was provided, I never woke up in time for it. Room security is good (digital door lock). The lighting is a bit tricky if you have to do makeup (I think it needs some white light). The room may be a bit too dark as it is underground, and there are no big windows, just a small one. Wifi was good at the desk but when I moved to the bed, the connection kept getting lost.
