They welcomed me very nicely and they provide food like instant noodles and toast with jam or peanut butter for free. They also have a nice rooftop and you can use a lot of kitchen stuff and a washing machine for free

No one was present to unlock the door for us at check-in, we got stuck outside for a long time and no one would answer the phone or the bell. Guests ended up giving us the entry code.They say check-in is from 4pm, but there will be no one at all after 4pm.There were ants in the bed.The walls are very thin.The mattresses are hard.

Misleading photos, in MUCH worse condition than shownDisgusting establishment, rooms and bathrooms are not washed between each guestThere were hairs and multiple stains on our sheetsPapers on the floor, never vacuumedThe bathroom was disgusting with questionable yellow liquid on the floor and hairs on the toiletThere is mold in the dryers which clings and destroys clothes (we threw everything away)After showing the state of our room upon arrival, the hostess just apologized and leftEverything smells musty and musty, there are mini mesh windows in the rooms which do not ventilateAs an “included” breakfast, it’s low-end half bread and peanut butter.Only positive point: the location.

👍 The price is relatively cheap, based on Myeongdong subway station, Myeongdong business district is on the left, and this hotel is on the right, close to Namsan Tower, the location is very convenient👍 The room is simple and the space is quite enough. The bathroom drainage is not very good, but it will suddenly become clearer after washing for a while.👍 The basement has a large refrigerator, tables and chairs, simple kitchen utensils and Korean clothes. Every morning, everyone can make a night of golden ramen and unlimited coffee and bread. The coffee has an aroma similar to hazelnuts. The picture is golden packaging, and the jam is also very delicious👍 There is no need to contact the boss at all. After booking the room, you only need to go to the basement bulletin board of the hotel to get a letter. After entering the room, put the key 🔑 on the table.👍 It seems that no one will clean the room. You need to take the trash to the trash can in the basement and throw it away. Towels are also taken to the basement and replaced every day.👍 You can directly see the Nanshan Tower from the top floor, and there are atmospheric light bulbs at night, making it a good place to take pictures.🦵 Although it doesn’t take ten minutes to walk up from the subway, the whole journey is uphill and getting steeper. It will be very difficult for people with insufficient leg strength and heavy luggage.

Good value for money for this guesthouse.The location is perfect, just below Namsan Tower, the subway and the center of Myeongdong is a 5-minute walk away.The rooftop offers a sublime view of the Namsan Tower and the city.The rooms are not immaculately clean but nothing catastrophic either.Washing machine available as well as a dryer (drying racks are also available for self-service on the rooftop).Towels are available next to reception.The breakfasts are not incredible, you have a noodle box with slices of white bread available in the kitchen.For the price, this accommodation is perfect, I recommend.

The room was clean and tidy. The hotel is in the Myeongdong area, so it's very lively. Although you have to walk up a slope, it's still ok. Go down the slope and you will see the subway entrance (Line 4). Across the street is HBAF, a store that specializes in selling almonds. It’s very convenient to go back if you want to buy souvenirs. A short walk from HBAF is a shopping street with many cosmetics stores, including three Olive Young stores nearby.

The hostel is in a great location. The rooms are clean and there is a good kitchen area and free laundry machine. The downside was that the walls were paper thin. We had two very noisy 🤢neighbours and we could hear absolutely everything they were saying and doing in their rooms. It didn’t make it very restful. Also the shower water went freezing cold at 9 am and didn’t warm up again.

Guesthouse in a good location and very well priced for the area. Kitchen and washing machine a bonus. Biggest issue was the paper thin walls. You can hear everything from the neighbours snoring to peoples phone calls. It was very loud. …

Nice little guesthouse centrally located in Seoul.Less minutes walk to the large namsam market.Room OK. Staff friendly and helpful.Pay attention to the parking space - very winding streets lead to the house.

It's truly the worst of the worst. Please do not be fooled by the attached photo. The bedding may be the same, but everything else is never the same. It's such a waste of money!! Rather, spending a little more money to stay at a hotel or go to a resort is a better way to sleep and save more money. It's really dirty, unpleasant, old and dirty. It's really not worth the money. There is a reasonable suspicion that the 5-star review may be part-time work. The building is also older than the photos. Don't ever come.

To stay a couple of nights it's fine.They offer the possibility of preparing your breakfast in the living room.The room is very spacious but has very little light.The bathroom was not very clean and there is humidity everywhere.

Stayed here for 5 nights! Loved everything about it except for the uphill walk every night. The staffs were very friendly and kind, Jihee even helped us book our taxis to Seoul Station while Park helped us bring our luggages to the room!They provide bread and cup noodles at the common space located at B1 floor. The rooftop's view is to die for as you can get clear view of Namsan Tower and also Namsan Cable Car.Totally recommended, it's also nearby exit 3 Myeongdong Station too! There's also GS25 in front.
