This location is centrally located in downtown where you can walk within 20 min, you can get to King’s palace, Myoung-dong(shopping center), Revitalized creek urban park, many subway access, line 2,3,and 5. Also easy to get to Seoul train station. Amazing location and so many dinning options without traveling far! The host was super nice and had many suggestions. One can access to the hotel easily through Bus or Rail (direct from Inchon airport).

The people who run this place were exceptional....so much so that I actually burst into tears the night before I left. I miss them so much already and if I am able to visit Korea I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The location is just brilliant, facilities excellent and as I said the family who run the place are some of the most wonderful people I have met. The only downside was that the bed was a little firm for me - but I do suffer from chronic pain and sleep in a nest of memory foam 😂 it still would not stop me from staying here again though 💜💜💜

I didn't care for the location because it was too far from the places I needed to go but that's on me. It wasn't easy to catch taxis and you had to walk to find them. I never saw the manager. Because I don't live in Korea, I didn't have KaKao and couldn't call to message him. I called the other telephone number many times. but only got a busy signal. I arrived early, after a long flight, but couldn't check in until several hours later. When I returned to check in, my key, with my name attached was on the front desk. Likewise, when I left, I put my key in a basket that anyone one could access. I did see a cleaning lady a couple times when I left. The bathroom/shower room was literally smaller than the toilet on my plane when I flew to Seoul. The toilet seat was poorly attached and I had to adjust it when I used it. The WiFi was excellent and the TV was fine but no English news channels like CNN or BBC. Even though the location was poor for my needs, there were many restaurants and coffee shops in the area. It's on an alley and a little difficult to find but that's more of a problem for the taxis. Some were reticent to go down the alley to the entrance. I don't want to say it was a bad experience but I've stayed in better for less. To be fair, though, not in Seoul. I'd give it a C.

Nice location but cold in winter

The location is convenient. The room is small but I believe this is what I get with this price in Seoul. It was winter but the room did not have enough heat so I was quite cold.

You get what you pay for

Basically you get what you pay for. Incredibbly small room, not very sanitary bathroom. It is ok if your used to hostels or being a back packer or something but thats really what this is: a hostel experience. On the plus side, the location is amazing. Right in the middle of everything and a 5 min walk to almost every major attraction. Location amazing, everything else not so great.

The location is convenient with easy access to transit, food, and shopping. Restaurants in the neighbourhood open rather late at night. The owner of the guest house is super nice and helpful. I am pleased that the toilet is a bidet. The room is small as it is a budget place to stay. Sound proofing can an issue to some as I was able to hear my neighbours. If you are a light sleeper, do take note of this or bring earplugs.
