Stayed 5 nights. Owner communicates well when you have a question. My room was tiny. There was a table, chair, lamp and a single bed. There was a rack to hang clothes by the foot of the bed, and whats left of the floor space was just enough to open a small-medium suitcase. Location is a 2-3 minute walk to Seoul subway station (Line 4) and 2 stations away and you’re in Myeondong. Maybe 3-4 minutes when going back to the house as its slightly up a slope. 7-eleven is a few steps away. Cleanliness is okay. Steep and low-ceiling steps to go up and down to the kitchen and common room (located in basement). Breakfast was brewed coffee, juice, teas, toasted bread butter and jam. Water dispenser on all floors. Fresh towels available everyday. Overall for the price i paid , its okay- just remember its a guesthouse not a hotel. But verything you need is there. I’m happy with it.

The host was the friendliest and most helpful person I have ever known. He responded quickly to messages, he was always available. He is the best! The room was quite nice, I had enough space in it. The guesthouse is really close to Seoul Station so it is easy to get anywhere.

We only stayed a night, but it was pleasant, clean, and sufficient for our needs. We reached almost close to midnight, and though the reception was closed by then, the staff left clear instructions for check in and out. Free simple breakfast was provided, but we didn't partake of it as we wanted something more substantial. Overall happy with our stay. Would recommend to those comfortable with a basic accommodation.

Good value for money hostel

The Aroha Guest is a small but convenient Hostel. It is located quite near the Seoul Railway Station and offers good connectivity to most places around. While it's in a small lane, but the inside Hostel condition is quite good. Staff is young and helpful (though they appear a bit dry but they do provide whatever assistance you ask for). For its price, it's a suitable hostel.
