I enjoyed my stay at this guesthouse. It is conveniently located near Jongno 5(o)ga subway station and 1 minute from 24 hour CU convenience store. My room was clean and quiet in the evening. The staff were fantastic and helpful. Breakfast is simple and a nice touch. I would stay here again next time I come to Seoul.
