Guest Reviews
- Amy (8/5): Biwon Guest House - Great location, close to lots of shops, restaurants, etc but still quiet enough at night. The room itself was a bit run down, but clean. The mattress was very thin, so may not be suitable for westerners who like a soft mattress.
- Wee Seong (8/5): Cheap and cheerful stay - The hostel is basic and has the necessary amenities.
It is good for a short stay. The rooms are smaller in size.
For the location and price, it is a good stay.
I would say though that it will be helpful to co-ordinate with 7 eleven staff so that they know of the location. It'll be helpful for tourists.
- An Mai (10/5): - This was a great place to stay. It was very accessible to everything, close to public transport and the airport limousine. The room had everything we needed and the staff were quick to respond to questions and requests
- Verified traveler (8/5): チェックイン時に注意が必要だが、慣れれば便利 - チェックイン時に、受付に人はおらず、メールで扉のパスワードを聞く方式なので、最初は戸惑うが、中に入ってしまえば、小綺麗で部屋も広く、快適。場所も非常に便利な場所にある。
- Paula Michaela Fe (10/5): - Would really want to gatekeep this but I think people must know how great of a stay this place is.
Pros:
- Hospitality is top notch I have no words.🙏
- I felt safe staying there.
- Quiet neighborhood.
- Strong water pressure.
Can still be improved:
- Cleanliness
- Facility is quite dated. Maybe a small renovation would be nice.
- Mosquitoes
- THIAGO (10/5): Affordable nice convenient guesthouse. - It's a guesthouse. But its super convenient location, airport shuttle 120m from the building, super friendly and nice staff. Affordable and good for cheap travelling. I would stay again.
- bom (8/5): - 1박 잠만 잘 숙소로는 괜찮은 곳입니다.
비록 화장실 시설이 엄청 옛날거라 샤워할때 많이 불편하긴 했지만요.
지하철역까지 가기에는 종로 식당가 인파를 뚫느라 안내된 10분내로 이용하긴 힘들어요. 창덕궁쪽 버스를 이용하길 추천합니다.
- PUI FONG (8/5): - 這是第三次入住,房間如從前都很乾淨,環境亦很清静。可能新冠疫情關係,今次入住已沒有早餐供應,出入也是自行按密碼。沒有當年可以和其他旅客互相溝通的溫馨情景和温暖,感覺這次入住有點冰冷,今次住2晚除了入住時見到付責人,其他時間看不見沒有人。這次入住硬件没有改變,房間整潔、光亮,改變只是感覺有點冰冷,沒有從前可以和店家們和背包客的互動。
- Tomomi (8/5): - 部屋は、スーツケースを開けることができる十分な広さがありました。
バスルームは、シャワーカーテンがあったので、Toiletが濡れることに気を使わなくてもよかったです。
スタッフの方は、とても感じがよかったです。
- motoko (10/5): - 空港リムジンのバス停から徒歩5分の場所にあり、すぐ近くにセブンイレブンもあるのでとても便利です。
仁寺洞、北村韓屋村も徒歩圏内です。
受付のお兄さんが温かく対応してくれて嬉しかったです。
部屋はちょうどいいコンパクトさで、清潔感がありとても気に入りました!
シャワーはバスタブがありませんが、トイレとの間にちゃんとビニールカーテンがあったのでトイレがびしょ濡れになることはなく、バスタブが無いことでむしろ広く使えてよかったです。
ただ、雨が降ると部屋の角で雨漏りしていたのが気になりました。リノベアパートのようだったので仕方ないのかな…
総合的にはとても好きな宿だったので、ソウルに泊まるときはまた利用したいと思います!
- AKIYAMA (10/5): - 初めての海外旅行でしたが、スタッフさんが優しくてとても楽しい旅になりました!
無理な要望にも応えてくださって、本当にありがとうございました!
また韓国行く際はここに泊まりたいです!
- kazue (10/5): - The stuff is very friendly and helpful .
Great location to stay.
I enjoyed staying there.
- Laura Cristina (10/5): - It was very comfortable and clean. I could have my own space and the price waa reasonable. I would totally recommend it.
- Jessica (10/5): - This place is a gem! Seriously, I had a private room and bathroom and it was exactly what I needed. There was a bathtub which was great for soaking after the freezing rain! Changdeokgung Palace is a block away and Gyeongbokgung Palace is an easy walk as is Bukchon Hanok Village. Close to transportation and wonderful dining options in Insadong. I am so glad that I stayed here! I was traveling alone and lost my wallet and the owners were so kind and helpful! There is a 7eleven steps away that takes ApplePay in case you need it, like I did!! The guesthouse allowed me to store luggage after checkout for no cost. It really is an excellent find!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We booked a room for 2. It was really spacious. I especially loved it bec of its proximity to a convenience store, Anguk subway station, Changdeokgung palace and museums. The place was clean, and quiet.
- OSCAR A (10/5): Awesome place to stay :) - The place is clean, nice looking and well located but a good price. Totally recommended. Beds were a little uncomfortable but they were good enough!
- Hyejung (10/5): 한가지 빼고 모든게 좋았던 ^^ - 긴가 민가하며 예약을 했는데^^ 방만 더 가능했으면 그 후에 예약했던 호텔을 취소하고 이 비원게스트 하우스에 계속 있을 수 있어도 좋겠다 생각했네요..
위치며 안전함 또 가격대비 가성비 정말 최고 였어요.
창덕궁 바로 앞쪽에 위치한 게스트 하우스.. 24시간 편의점도 걸어서 1분거리에 있고 5분 정도 걸으면 익선동 또 한정거장 걸어서 인사동, 바로 길건너편으론 북촌, 최고의 위치에 있네요.
근데 한가지 아쉬웠던 건 밤에 복도에 불이 안 켜져 있어서 오가는데 좀 무서웠던~~
계단을 올라갈땐 센서등이 있어서 계단쪽으론 자동적으로 불이 켜지는데 그 외에 복도는 불이 전혀 안 켜져서 새벽이나 밤에 오가는데는 사람이 전혀 안보이는데 좀 무서웠어요. 1층에 낮에는 오히려 불이 켜져있던데 낮보단 밤에 불이 켜져 있는데 투숙객들이 오가는데 안전감을 느끼지 않을까 싶습니다.
다음에 한국 방문한다면 꼭 다시 이용하고 싶은 숙소로 추천합니다!
- Cassius (10/5): - Very outstanding staff, although I booked and couldnt show up they refused any kind of payment and were incredibly kind to me. This is the kind of people we need running the world. I cant wait until I can meet them in person.
- shinae (10/5): 깔끔하고 조용하고 뜨끈함 - 옆 방 소리도 잘 들리지 않았고 뜨거운 물도 잘 나옵니다 무엇버다 방 바닥에 보일러가 들어와서 따뜻하니 너무 좋았어요
- Ann (10/5): Great place to stay - Basic facilities, but very clean, very helpful management and fantastic location. We have stayed there twice now and will stay there again.
- Steven Hyunjeen (10/5): - One of the most extraordinary places to stat in Seoul! Nice location, friendly staff, and a vert comfortable stay! Would love to visit again.
서울에 있는 베스트 중 베스트 인 거 같아요! 사장님도 너무 친절하시고, 위치도 좋고… 잘 쉬다 가요!
- Verified traveler (8/5): 가격대비 괜찮아요 - 이 가격에 개인 화장실까지 딸려있는점은 만족했으나 화장실이 너무 추워서 도저히 샤워를 할 수 없었던 점은 힘들었네요. 주인분이 친절하게 전화 주시고 체크인 안내해 주신 점은 좋았어요.
- Kellisanth (10/5): - Does the cat count as staff? Was very happy to see the kitty there.
The hostel was terrific, and a great value too! The hostess were very pleasant and friendly; although to be fair, I need to learn more Korean.
The location to 7-11, local eateries (non-chain) and tourist/historical sites were a very nice bonus. Location from a bus stop, and train were easy walking distance.
Although I traveled during a hot (to me) period -- it's summer after all, the air conditioner helped out a lot, which cooled the room pretty quick. Plenty of room in the dresser for unloading my flight bag.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay of which I would like to see again, perhaps in the winter to see how it is.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 値段がやすい割には基本的な設備は備えており満足です
- Verified traveler (10/5): おもてにゃし - リピーターです。今回も快適な滞在でした。色々な国の人達とコミュ出来るのもこの宿のメリットです。そして何より猫好きにはたまらない『おもてにゃし』が受けれます(ΦωΦ)
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Très forte odeur dans la chambre, 2 minuscules serviettes pour la douche, petit déjeuner très limite : du pain de mie avec margarine et confiture tous les jours
- Max (8/5): - The hostel is located in the center of tourist areas with main attractions within walking distances..
- JUNGWOO (8/5): 편안하고 조용한 ..... - 스텝분들의 친절함이 인상적이었습니다. 욕조가 있어서 욕실을 편하게 사용할 수 있었습니다. 온돌방 객실이 사라진 아쉬움은 있지만 가성비 최고의 숙소였습니다...옥상의 휴식 공간도 있었습니다...
추천하고 싶은 숙소입니다..
- 佳之 (8/5): 看板猫のいる気軽なドミトリー - 必要最小限にして十分です。
そもそもドミトリーのシングルルーム利用なので
過大に多くの事は期待出来ません。
ただそれでも1人旅であるなら十分だと思います。
ちなみにシングルルームだと玄関に近いために人が通ったりする音が気になるかもしれませんので
耳栓は用意しておいた方がいいと思います。
ただし耳栓はドミトリー側で用意してたりするらしいので(一度貰ったことがある)
フロントであるかどうか聞いても悪くないと思います。
あと看板猫のいる宿で猫好きな人なら
忘れられない宿になります。
フロントの人も人柄が良く良いホテルだと思います。
もう何度も利用しています。
- まっさん (8/5): - 冷蔵庫が備え付け、また、シャンプー、ボディソープが用意してあり、コンセントも多かったので、非常に助かりました。
スタッフの方も親切で、好印象です。
- G (6/5): - The owner is very nice but the room Air condition doesn't work properly
- maa (8/5): - cat is very cute.
room was clean.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 本当にオススメです。 - 今までいろいろなゲストハウスに泊まってきましたが、こちらが今までで1番快適でした。
まずフロントの方がとても親切でした。
部屋が3階でエレベーターはないので荷物を上まで持っていくには大変でしたが、フロントの方が手伝ってくれました。
部屋は2人でスーツケースを広げられるくらいで、清潔でした。
シャワーとトイレも清潔だったので、抵抗なく使用できました。
建物のすぐそばにコンビニもあり、駅から歩いても10分かからず、駅周辺にも飲み屋がたくさんあるので、アクセスはとてもいいと思います。
ぜひまた泊まりたいと思いました。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 部屋の割にシャワー室が広く、テレビの画面も大きくて良かったです。
ボディシャンプー・リンスインシャンプーと小さい石けんが置いてありました。
繁華街からも少し離れているので、夜も静かでした。
セール価格だからか、シングルベットだからか、窓のない部屋で、それだけが残念でした。
- Verified traveler (10/5): 安くて立地が良くて快適さを求めるかたに - お部屋は狭いながらもきちんと掃除されており清潔でした。部屋の中には体を洗う簡易ボディタオルと1、2回分の歯みがき粉、シャンプー、ボディーソープ、小さな石鹸、コップ、トイレットペーパー、ドライヤー、薄型テレビ、エアコン、除湿機、バスマット、タオル、ハンガー数本、洗濯バサミ2個程、スリッパがありました。トイレットペーパーが無くなったら受付で新しいものをくれますし、タオルも新しいものを貸してもらえました。シャワーは少し時間がかかりますが、お湯もちゃんと出ますし、充分な量の水圧でした。私は自分で歯ブラシセット、ボディータオル、スリッパ、小さな洗濯ハンガー、ティッシュ、濡れティッシュを用意していったので、備え付けのものとプラスのものでとても快適に過ごすことができました。また是非泊まりたいです。
- 세환 (10/5): 대만족 - 직원분 친절하시고 서울 도심 여행에 많은 도움이 되었어요 또 가고 싶어요
- Verified traveler (10/5): - スタッフの方が親切です。寝具やタオルも清潔でした。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - nice service of the front desk, the receptionist always gave warmly greeting, and tried hard to help the tourists who don't know any Korean.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - room is dirty
- Verified traveler (6/5): - 고궁 관람을 위한 저렴한 숙소를 원한다면 괜찮을 듯 하지만
편의 시설은 기대하심 곤란하실듯.
호스트님은 아주 친절하세요, 날씨도 체크해주시고 우산까지도
빌려주시는 세심함도 굿,,,
- SAORI (4/5): - スタッフさんはとても優しく親切でした。
シャワーのお湯も勢いも満足でした。
外観はとても綺麗でした。
ただ、カビなのか排水の関係なのか、部屋中ずっとドブの臭いがしました。
また、枕も初日から体臭の匂いがして、今回は部屋の匂いに悩まさせた3泊4日でした。
猫ちゃんはとても可愛かったです・・・。
申し訳ありませんが、この評価とさせていただきます、
- Verified traveler (10/5): - スタッフが優しくて助かった
- Verified traveler (8/5): Beewon is a good place to stay - Beewon is a well priced accomodation located in a pretty neat area of downtown Seoul. The room was tidy and came with usual things you would expect (shampoo, toothbrush, tooth paste etc...). As I stayed during winter the floor heating was amazing. The only thing was the towel supplied was the size of a hand towel which wasn't ideal, but I survived! I would recommend this place.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 入住數天 感覺不錯
雖然房間舊 但幸好打掃乾淨
民宿人員笑容親切有禮
距離昌德宮只有數分鐘距離
公車站也是5分鐘左右
- Kortoey (10/5): - Nice to stay here. Staff is good. The cat is so cute.
- Ida (6/5): - 市内の栄えてるところから徒歩圏内で、すぐちかくにセブンイレブンがあるのがとても便利。
スタッフさんも優しい人ばかり。
しかし、ドミトリーの部屋の中が今まで泊まったホステルの中で1番散らかっていて、汚かった。
- Sophie (8/5): - Beewon around 5 min walk to subway but be careful if you are walking at night. Many mini drink store open at night. Btw, thank you alex! Allowed us early check in. The room is big and well maintained. Maybe breakfast could be vary, instead of only toast/bread/jam. Take care!
- Gyl (8/5): Pleasant stay in a tree-lined, quiet neighborhood - Beewon Guest House was our comfortable home for 5 days. Easy to find and walkable from 2 train stations. Centrally-located, yet feels like it has given us tranquility after days of hectic activities. The cat is sensationally the cutesy star, visitors want to pat it when they see it. Hotel staff are nice and respectful. We had to leave a day early to stay with a friend, and staff were nice enough to open the breakfast area earlier. The room is bigger than expected, and provided us with a big bed for restful sleep. The iron just outside our room was convenient, and a ref inside our room made our drinks cold. We definitely will recommend this for travelers who are not too picky, but can use a welcoming place.
- William (6/5): Good price for borderline adequate accommodations - The B-1 was just fine. Lots of exciting things to see all around it. It's a place to lay your head. The staff was pleasant and they had a little friendly cat. The Wi-Fi was acceptable. All in all it wasn't adequate experience at a very good price
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Was covered in bites. Beware
- Weng Hong (8/5): - Verything is good, but facilities quite old
- Lea Fadzliana (8/5): Good location - Strategic location as it is near palaces and the hanbok rental stores. Those who are into cultural thingy would appreciate the location as it is very near to Insadong. The hostel is comfortable and clean, and smell nice too.
- JULIANA (2/5): major renovation needed - We needed a place to stay because we were doing an embassy run for our newborn's passport. It wasn't hard to find from the train station. The area is good for dining and shopping. There's a huge market for Korean traditional instruments that fasinated me.
The hotel itself is super old and needs to be gutted and built up again. We were initially suppose to have a room with a bed but the owner decided to move us down a floor to the futon room. Although sleeping on the floor with the kids was easier, I felt like the condition of the room was super dirty so we didn't stay in the room except to sleep at night.
The wallpaper is ripped up and need of repair. There was mold in the bathroom and on the bottom of the wall in the sleep area. Ughhh. We were provided bedding...but I refused to use the pillow because the pillow sheet was stained. I will NEVEr stay here again.
The owner was nice but she really needs to use her funds to fix up the place.
