“good location, budget price”
I've stayed here several times already. And I'll be back again. I really like that it's close to Myeongdong, the subway, and the bus stop that takes you to the airport. The hostel has several rooms. On the ground floor, there's one six-bed room with a window and air conditioning, one four-bed room with a window and air conditioning, and one double room without a window. There's a shared kitchen with a stove, microwave, electric kettle, washing machine, iron, refrigerator, and water cooler. Everything is free to use. There's also a hair dryer and hair straightener, also free of charge. Small towels are provided. The bathroom has shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, soap, and toothpaste. Everything is clean and tidy. It's located on a hill, so you have to walk uphill every time, but for me it's not a problem.

Well, we did not expect that the accommodation's exact location would be that elevated and quite steep; we had difficulty going up to our room. The good thing is that the location is near a train station. Accommodation is recommended for a family vacation in Seoul, South Korea, but is not applicable for older people and PWDs due to its location. By the way, the lady owner is very kind.

“Excellent for travellers looking for just a comfy place to sleep during your trip to Seoul”
The living space was comfy and was in a centralised area which made it easy to travel around Seoul without having to transfer too much. Upstairs area was nice to eat and chill with friends and rooms had sufficient facilities like water dispensers and charging adapters.

This is one of the best guesthouses I have ever stayed in and I can stay I would definitely stay here again if I came back to Seoul. The location was great, in a nice street very near Myeondong station, and within walking distance of Nandaenum market, the Palace, Bukchon, and Namsan tower. The hostel was always clean and the beds were comfortable. There’s a fully equipped kitchen and you can use the washing machine for free. The owners are very nice and you can see they really care about this place. If you’re a solo traveller who likes to socialize this is also a great place to meet other travelers, I always thought the vibes were amazing and I felt very comfortable. I also always felt very safe.

“A good budget place for travelers.”
I've been to Seoul many times, and I always stay here. I'm traveling alone, and I feel safe here because the dorm is for women only. Each bed has its own curtain now. The hosts also provide small towels. The bathrooms are stocked with soap, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. The kitchen has tea and coffee, a microwave, stovetop, washing machine, iron, hair dryer, and hair straightener. Everything is open and free to use. You can rent a locker; a 10,000 won deposit is required for the key; it's returned at the end of your stay. The Wi-Fi is good.

“A safe place in the center”
I travel alone and always stay at this place in Seoul. I feel safe here because it's a women-only dorm. The location is very convenient, right next to Myeongdong subway station! You're right in the center for a reasonable price! It's very convenient! Plus, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay: a kitchen, refrigerator, microwave, iron, washing machine, hair dryer, hair straightener, Wi-Fi.The bathroom contains shampoo, hair conditioner, shower gel, soap and toothpaste. They even provide small towels for free! I love it here. The climb up the hill is a bit tiring, but the price-quality ratio is still excellent!

“Loved this place!”
The family who run this guesthouse are amazing. They are so welcoming, helping you with luggage no matter the time of day and always keen to assist with any queries. There is free tea and coffee making facilities as well as a cold and hot water dispenser. There are even some toiletries and sanitary products that you can use free of charge. You can do your laundry yourself for free as there is a washing machine and a drying rack on the terrace which is covered over as well as an iron, great for backpackers, this was honestly such a blessing! The beds were comfortable and the place is cleaned every day. They even offer a free walking tour ran by their son who takes you up to Namsen tower and the views were unreal! The location was great, Seoul is big so you will have to use the trains and buses but it’s very easy to navigate. I would highly recommend and will definitely stay here again if I return to Seoul!
