The owner had great hospitality. Internet and room were good. Very close to a metro station, easy access to the city center.

A page with instructions and entry details with my name was outside the main door. Entered without any reception, and none was required.
The place has clean sheets and stuff. Walls were with stains...
For a place to sleep, and just sleep, this was fine.
Cooking place was available bus without coffee or anything bread...!
Stayed two nights with wife and baby!! Small double bed room.
Subway and bus station were at walking distance. It was easy to go to dongdaemun or itaewon or Seoul Station.

We stayed 6 nights in a twin 'bunkbed' room. The accomodation was fair value as it was cheap, beds were comfy, had Aircon and although basic you got a free breakfast with coffee. There are downsides with it being cheap as it is pretty well worn. Our toilet was broken with the pump running water through the cistern all of the time, the fix was to turn the water valve off at night to stop the sound, but you then had to turn it back on to do the toilet, also the fan in the bathroom intermittently made a loud screeching sound and the toilet smelled after showering. The host was quick to respond when we highlighted issues and fixed what he could. If on a tight budget, it is ok for a few nights.

TLDR: look for a another option. If their policy let us check out early and refund the remaining days we would have - and it was still a near thing.
The good: it’s cheap, you’ve got your own bathroom, there’s wifi, toast and jam, your pretty close to bus and train stations and they let you to check in late even if through a flawed process (see “worst” below).
The bad: It says there’s a partial reception - we were there 5 nights and we never saw anyone despite coming and going at varying times. It’s in a sketchy looking neighborhood. The hostel and rooms are also very run down and dirty looking. I’ve included pictures. In five nights, they did not change our sheets once despite appearing to (my bed was made once but a chocolate stain from the night before remained) and it was dusty under the bed.
The worst: They have a poor security policies. Due to some travel delays we didn’t arrive at the hostel till well after check in. We’d emailed them last minute to inform them of this possibility but hadn’t received a reply back before we took off - they sent us a response with the entry code for the front door but we couldn’t reply because we’d lost our Internet and it was nearly midnight before we got it back. Likely because they hadn’t received a response, the hostel decided to take a laminated card with my name on it with the ENTRY CODE in it and TAPED IT TO THE FRONT DOOR. And that card looked reused.
Needless to say, we kept our door bolted whenever we were there.

The location is great, very near subway and easy to take a bus. The host is so kind. He let us check-in before the time. Thank you.

Easy to get in and out. Great location. Good TV. But, "Continental Breakfast" is peanut butter and jam on toast. Bathroom and rooms really need cleaning. Coffee ran out.

Well situated location. Nearby train stations, convenience stores, & eateries.
Very patient staff, who accommodated me even if I checked in late at night already.

Price is cheap~

The guesthouse is a 2 minute walk from Sinseoldong Subway which is very accessible. A convenient store is also located nearby. Mr. Kang is not always seen around but he responds quickly to queries through email. He is also very considerate of his guests and allows check-out extension when necessary. Our stay is very much convenient generally although it would be much better if the guesthouse would be a little bit updated. Thank you for the hospitality.

The building was a little old, but the rooms and bathrooms were clean. Even though it was just a guesthouse, there was daily housekeeping and sufficient breakfast--most places don't offer either these days especially breakfast. Its was a cheap but good stay.

I never complain and easy to please however I must share my experiences. I stayed at the Dongdaemun Guesthouse for 15 nights. The 1st 4 nights in a double bedroom with a tub on the ground level. When I realized I needed to stay longer I downgraded to a bunk bed (Twin) room upstairs(no lift) which I prepaid for 11 nights. The 15 nights I stayed here only 1 time was my trash removed. Never had the room cleaned or sheets changed. The Twin Room Bathroom had black mold on the ceiling. Both room were very small that was okay for me but maybe not for someone else. The Owner or Manager I dont know who he was but the man always in the office. I did not have mobile service so asked this person if he would order a pizza for me, just a cheese pizza. 1st night he did not do, the 2nd night was rude and plenty of negative comments but did order. I did ask him to place a Cheese Pizza order several times for me. Many times I was responded too with negative comments. I dreaded having to interact with this person.Breakfast was offered but I didnt partake for dread of having contact with management. I have several photographs of my charges against this hotel.

If you want to find a place to have a sleep,I will recommend it.
The location is near by the subway station,you can easily go to anywhere you want.
Although the single room isn't big,it's comfortable and quiet.
如果想找個地方休息睡覺,此guesthouse是你可以列入考慮的選擇之一。地點靠近地鐵站,所以可以方便的到其他地方。單人房房間不大,不過單純作為睡覺還行。蠻安靜的,睡眠品質尚可。

The room is not big. In the room, I like the place where you can put your shoes before you get into the room. The receptionists are very nice if they are available.

We booked a room last minute at the Dongdaemun Guest House because our other reservation cancelled on us. The room was cheap and offered a private room with our own bathroom and 4 bunks. The guesthouse manager called to make sure we would be able to get into our room even though we were getting in late. He also texted us directions, which was great. The guesthouse itself was a little run-down. We had AC, but it wasn't strong enough to cool down the whole room. The "continental breakfast" listed was toast. For the last minute price, everything was fine, but I wouldn't seek this guesthouse out in the future.
