Guest Reviews
- Звездочка (10/5): -
- Paulina (10/5): - Cena adekwatna do ceny. Niestety dość daleko do metra z walizkami było ciężko.
- Lowil (7/5): - - around hostel you can find shops, restaurants
- close to bus and metro station
- friendly staff - poor breakfast: tosts and cornflakes only
- very small room
- if do get room with window from street side, you definitely need earplugs, will be extremally noisy
- Nathan (9/5): For the price, it is great value. Be mindful of travel time if visiting tourist spots in Seoul. - Friendly staff, many food options nearby, somewhat close to a subway station Nothing in particular
- SABINE (8/5): - Le rapport qualité prix est excellent. La propriétaire est vraiment gentille et serviable Chambre petite
- Paulina (10/5): - Przemiła Pani na recepcji. Lokalizacja na plus. Blisko sklepu całodobowe i miejsca, gdzie można zjeść. Okolica spokojna.
Niczego nie brakowało, jak za tą cenę to wszystko OK. Brak miejsca aby położyć walizkę
- Cristina (9/5): - Estaba todo muy limpio, el personal super amable y nos ayudaron en todo lo que pedimos. Relación calidad-precio muy buena. La estación del metro estaba cerca, todo muy bien. Las almohadas eran muy bajitas.
- HAMboss (9/5): -
- Marcuap (7/5): Ok but not really good experience when we are going out not to use the toilet - Good The front door and the ground floor no good smell, and while we were waiting for our car to come they are not accomodating when we felt peeing doesn't open or let us use the Toilet That is not good....
- Tatiana (10/5): - Второй раз уже бронируем это жилье, очень нравится расположение и хозяйка, которая всегда входит в положение ❤️
- raffaella (8/5): -
- Akbota (8/5): Довольно хорошо за такую низкую цену - Персонал приветливый и общительный! Всё что было написано в условиях проживания соответствовала предложенной информации на сайте. Предметы для использования гостями были предоставлены (шампунь, полотенца, одноразовые зубные щетки и т.д.). Очень порадовала горячая вода в душе, прямо кипяток. Завтрак обрадовал, хлопья, молоко, сок и тосты. На сайте позиционируют себя как GuestHouse, но на деле вывеска Мотель. Постельное белье плохо пахло, как и полотенца. На постельном белье есть некоторые пятна, что вызывает неприятное чувство. Комната плохо проветривается и в ней достаточно душно, но это особенность самого здания и местной архитектуры.
- Riko (10/5): 最高でした - 隅々まで清掃が行き届いていて部屋も綺麗でスタッフも丁寧だったこと 少しだけアクセスが悪いところ
- Nicole (5/5): - The good things were price, WiFi, and nice personnel. Towels were washed everyday but they smelled bad. Breakfasts were poor quality - everyday cereal with milk and toasts with strawberry jam, nothing more. And if you wanted to wash yourself with hot water you needed to wait for like 2 or 3 minutes till cold water change into warm. Its not long but it's wasting water.
- Niek (7/5): Leuk - Aardig personeel, lekker ontbijtje, gratis koffiee/thee. Schoon. Bedden
- Renaud (10/5): -
- roland (6/5): - Frühstück sehr einfach - Bett sehr hart - einfache Ausstattung.
Ich hatte einen reduzierten Preis bei der Buchung bekommen (-33.000 / Nacht) und dafür gerade so OK.
Recht laut von der Straße her. Kleiner lokaler Markt dicht beim Hotel.
- Viktoriia (10/5): -
- HUI JHEN (8/5): 舒適乾淨 - 乾淨 浴室沒有乾淨衣服的地方,必須放馬桶上。
有點不方便。
- Ely (9/5): -
- shahriar (4/5): - Lick Lick
- JOONKYEONG (8/5): - 괜찮았음!! 위치요!!
- David (9/5): Good stay - A bit on the outskirts but good accessible by bus and MRT Breakfast too late
- helena (1/5): I strongly do not recommend it. - Just the kindness of the staff Everything. I’d really like to know who gave this place a rating of 8. This place is truly terrible.
Let’s start by saying that the rooms feel like a prison. The beds have springs like something out of the 1800s—extremely uncomfortable. Not to mention the pillow and the blanket, which smelled awful. Since the blanket isn’t removable, I wonder how they manage to wash it every time—also because there isn’t even a sheet separating it from the bed, so it’s in direct contact with your body. That makes me seriously doubt they clean it at all. To be safe, we didn’t use it; we slept in our clothes and ended up cold during the night.
The towels—one per person—are the same ones you’d use for a bidet, and they also smelled like wet dog.
Then the location… I’d love to know how anyone could call it “strategic.” Maybe someone who has never traveled. It’s 15 minutes from the metro, on a street that doesn’t feel very safe at night, and about 50 minutes from the city center—ridiculous.
The bathroom floods completely, the sink is so low it’s only suitable for a child, and there’s nothing—not even a shelf—to place your things. In general, the spaces in the room are minimal, and you can’t even properly open a suitcase.
I strongly do not recommend it.

- Christian (8/5): Wir kommen wieder! - Die Lage war super. Bus und U-Bahn in der Nähe. Restaurants und Geschäfte in der Nähe. Freundliches Personal. WiFi war ab und an für einige Sekunden weg.
Die Handtücher waren klein.
Kein Tee beim Frühstück.
- KUMIKO (8/5): - 朝食がついていてよかった 階段であがるのが、荷物をもっていて大変だった
- Michał (8/5): - Tanio i dobre miejsce na kilka nocy, wszystko co potrzeba z pewnymi małymi problemami ale ogólnie polecam.
W okolicy restauracje i sklepiki, blisko do metra oraz autobus z lotniska zatrzymuje się niedaleko hotelu. Słabo działał internet, bardzo słabo przez cały pobyt. Jak dla mnie trochę za zimno w pokoju.
Głośno jak się ma okno od strony ulicy
- Veronika (9/5): -
- keer (4/5): Budget style - There’s some nice restaurants in the area There are warnings signs everywhere repeatedly
No laundry facilities for children clothing which I find bizarre and this should have been listed on bookings.com because when you travel with kids you need to wash your clothes often
- Viktoria (10/5): Had a comfortable and pleasant stay, thank you! 감사합니다 - Had a lovely stay! Everything was clean, and well organized. The staff made it even better!
- Kamil (1/5): - Postel je extrémně tvrdá.
Hluk z ulice.

- Andrei (7/5): - It was an honest, easy pleace. the atmosphere is great, the people are super nice and helpful. the price is great the rooms are small and they don't have 24h reception. I lost the key and had to find another hotel for the night
- Philippe (6/5): - La propreté. Chambre beaucoup trop petite.
Pas la place d ouvrir une valise
Coin petit déjeuner également trop petit on es les uns sur les autres.
- Arystanbab (8/5): - Вживую лучше чем на фото Интернет быт слабоват, подключались к городскому вайфай

- Jeanette (9/5): What an amazing place to stay!! Kim was so welcoming. This gem was exceptionally clean and very well run. Kim provides - Centrally located to markets, a fabulous local coffee shop. Exceptionally priced.
Very very welcoming
Very clean and very functional Nil
- Eduardo IV (10/5): the staff are helpful and very accomodating, love to stay again - near the bus stops and convenience stores and delicious breakfasy no rest room that can be used if you arrive early before the check in (3pm)
- Anel (10/5): - Все было чисто, очень гостеприимная хозяйка очень понравилось оформление отеля с милейшими рисунками!!
- Jesse janghwan (10/5): - 아침식사도 제공되고 편안하고 가격이 너무 착한가격이어서 좋았음! 딱히없음.
- HEEJIN (10/5): 또 와야지 - 너무 좋아서 두번째 이용 했습니다 위치도 너무 좋고 방도 넓은 편이고 개인 욕실이 있는 것도 좋았어요 그리고 사장님이 너무 친절하고 전체적으로 조용한 분위기인 것도 좋아요 무엇보다 다른곳에는 없는 전기장판이 있어서 따뜻한 여행을 할 수 있었어요 계단으로 2층 카운터까지 올라가야해서 혹시나 짐이 무겁거나 많은 분들은 그런 점이 불편할 수 있을 거 같습니다 하지만 혼자 여행이고 짐도 그렇게 많이 없다면 아주 좋은 선택지에요
- Sebastiaan (5/5): -
- Jessa Anne Florenze (5/5): mid - affordable, spacious room, heating pad the ahjumma at the front desk
- 倩雯 (8/5): -
- Jasper (9/5): All around great, would recommend - Lovely lady running the place and comfortable room overall. They give candy in the rolm and in the morning a light breakfast as well. Instructions and rules also very clear on signs all around the place. Pretty much the only thing was that the bathroom tap in the room we stayed in didnt work very well and the shower wasnt very hot. But still pretty good enough for a comfortable shower.
- Liseth (7/5): - I like that the place is near to restaurants, store and market place ,buses stop. Don't have elevator and the mattress is in the floor
- Genç (8/5): - Güzeldi
- Mirela (3/5): Não vale a pena - Nada Barulhento, não tel elevador. Não tinha toalha p banho.
- German (9/5): - Cerca de la estacion de tren Solo una noches las personas de al lado eran muy escandalosas y no dejaron dormir
- RIKU (10/5): 神 - とにかく安いし、スタッフも優しい!
バス停近い。近所に飲食店、コンビニ等もあって使いやすい。 特にない

- rhellis (7/5): - Its in a good location. There are some restaurants and convenience stores within walking distance. It was nice to have my own bathroom which is uncommon in a guesthouse. The bed was a bit stiff and the windows are thin so at night on a weekend its a little loud from outside.
- Gabriel (6/5): -
- Beata (10/5): - Lokalizacja, czysty i ciepły pokój Pościel była czysta, jednak miała dziury
- Christian Encina Zelada (6/5): Podría mejorar la hora del desayuno - La amabilidad de una de las encargadas del hostel. Trataban de mantener el silencio, lo cual es valorable. No pueden dar un desayuno incluido tan tarde. Y en un rango tan corto. Pareciera que realmente non quieren darlo.
El baño tenía un olor sutil a desagüe.
- biodun aiyeola (10/5): -
- Sharon (8/5): Value for money. - Comfortable The entrance was not inviting
- Eloise (8/5): -
- Agata (10/5): Jak co roku super !!!! -
- Maisie (8/5): - the room was nice as described, the breakfast was provided in mornings the staff were lovely and helpful although not speaking english well. check in and out was smooth and laundry services were available if required fr a cost. the location was quite far to get into town which was my error for not checking but busts were frequent an easy to navigate, the beds felt the springs when sleeping which was a little uncomfortable at times. the breakfast was quite basic an we only had two mornings if it was early.
- Lena (8/5): Pour un petit budget, c'est parfait! - La dame de l'accueil était très gentille et à l'écoute. Nous avons été très heureux de la rencontrer !
La chambre comptait le strict nécessaire, et nous n'avons pas manqué de grand chose.
Le déjeuner était très simple, mais pour le prix, c'était très bien !
Son emplacement est assez proche et en même temps assez éloigné de Hongdae (40-50min de bus). Il n'y avait pas beaucoup de place pour le rangement des valises, habits, etc.
- Juri (7/5): - A friend and I stayed here for one night, and the staff were really nice and helpful. And it had everything it promised, the AC was great. Everything was clean and the beds were moderately comfortable. Though, it wasn’t a very inviting room. It literally felt like a prison cell, so just as a warning, in case you get claustrophobic. But for the price it was alright.

- Rocton (10/5): Endroit très agréable, on y retournera la prochaine fois - L'accueille, personne très simpas et agreable. D'avoir notre propre liberté. Le bus dessert bien. Le métro un peut loin.
- FUTAMATA (6/5): 良い旅ができました - とても親切なスタッフさんでした 部屋の所々に古い点が見受けられました
- Karim (8/5): -
- Fabiana (10/5): -
- Perera (1/5): - Nothing We visited this property the previous day to check the room before staying. After seeing the room, we were very disappointed—the room felt cramped and the beds were extremely small. We politely informed the reception that we were not happy and decided to leave.
At that point, the lady at the reception behaved in a very disturbing and unprofessional manner. She called the police and falsely claimed that we had threatened her. She even told the police that we did not have valid visas, which was completely untrue. this entire incident happened very quickly.
There are many posters around the place saying “Happy Stay,” but unfortunately, that felt like a joke after this experience. She did not allow us to leave immediately, she closed the door and there is a camera at the reception desk that records guests.
Thankfully, the police officers were extremely calm, kind, and professional. It seemed like they were already familiar with situations like this, which made us feel that similar incidents may have happened before. We requested the property to cancel our booking, but they refused to do so. Because of this situation, I had to cancel my card for safety reasons.
I booked this place trusting the reviews on Booking.com, but I strongly recommend checking Google reviews as well—there are many similar complaints about this same person calling the police on guests.
I would not recommend this place to foreigners. Locals may be able to manage, but for international travelers, this experience was very stressful and unpleasant.

- Claire (7/5): Basic accommodation outside Seoul centre with warm and friendly staff - The room was fairly large with a separate bathroom and entrance way. The lady in reception was lovely and friendly. I arrived very late so just headed straight to my room which she had left unlocked and then paid/ checked in properly the next morning. It has a hostel vibe as there is a communal kitchen on the second floor so great if you're a solo traveler looking to meet other people. The room was very warm compared to outside which was good in some ways but bad in others as I kept going outside not wearing enough layers! The location was a bit far out and it was 15 minute walk to the nearest metro. The rooms and the building in general could do with a little bit of TLC, they feel a bit tired and some of the fixtures and fittings were falling apart, although the decor and her handwritten signs everywhere do have a certain charm.

- Thapa (2/5): -
- Mathias (10/5): Idéal pour une nuit - La dame à l'accueil sympa, elle à même traduit via son portable la procédure une fois l'heure pour le Check-in (j'étais venu avant déposer ma valise) et français sans que je lui dire quoi que ce soit.
Chambre petite, mais qui pour moi est assez vu que je dors juste dedans et je ne squatte pas toute la journée dedans.
- Turebekova (5/5): -
- ElENA (10/5): -
- Sagida (10/5): Все необходимое есть для проживания, все чистое и приятное. - Понравилось абсолютно все. Номер был очень чистый, приятно пахло свежестью и чистотой. Везде в форме веселых картинок написаны инструкции к пользованию кондиционера, телевизора, открыванию окна. В номере очень много приятных деталей и мелочей для гостей: конфетки с приветственной запиской, спрей от Комаров, зубные щетки и паста. Завтрак тоже очень приятный, легкий. Расположение отеля тоже очень понравилось. Рядом куча кафешек, большой рынок, остановка, магазины. За такие деньги это просто чудесный отель. И так очень приятные хозяева, очень быстро реагировали на наши запросы, очень приветливы и дружелюбны. Однозначно рекомендую, и сама если поеду в Сеул, то однозначно остановлюсь там. Все было супер!
