Stayed at the guestroom for 5 days. My experience was okay and the room was spacious. Clean towels, useful amenities, and most importantly, there was a luggage storage which was really helpful for me as I arrived in Seoul hours before check-in time. The downside of this guesthouse though is the location — you have to walk uphill for a good 10 minutes from Mapo station and there isn’t much establishments nearby. I was getting tired from bringing my luggage up the road so I checked my phone to see if I was close to the guesthouse and I actually was, but saw the last pathway I’d have to climb up (see photo attached 🥲). It was especially dreading for me to walk going back to the guesthouse after a long day of going around the city 😅 Services were okay and I was told to contact them whenever I needed anything, but the location is truly a disadvantage especially if you’re older or if you have luggages with you. :(

Average experience.The only consideration point is low cost.Views are good from roof top.Staff is unfriendly. Rooms are small and ok not great.Far from the mapo station, and you need to go uphill every time which is not good after a full day of exploration outside.If you have heavy luggage, a complete no no.Recommended only if you are carrying light luggage and low cost.
