If you are on the budget - go for it. But if you aren’t, don’t stay there.

The beds were comfortable, the bathroom had body wash, hair wash and toothpaste and there were towels for the guest’s use. The location is good, close to Sinseoldong station.

The lack of organization in the hotel - one staff member made us wait for one hour to get into the room I booked and when we called them again, the other staff didn’t know who we were. Our room was not ready and the staff cleaned it while we were downstairs. The room was dirty, there were hair all over the place, dust, trash was not taken out and the walls were full of mold.

Dont let the low price lure you in, there are far better places to stay in Seoul.

I was unable to stay in the room that I booked because they had allowed me to book a room that didn’t exist. Apparently, their system overbooks guests and they don’t tell you until you arrive and have to wait a long time for someone to come and give you answers. They will also lie to you on the phone and say someone will arrive in ten minutes but they really mean 30-40 minutes. :(. My friend had left to run an errand while we were waiting for the staff member to arrive, so when the staff did arrive I was worried about how to move all our bags by myself. The staff member said she would help but after I got in the taxi she just put my friend’s bags in, said good luck, and left. I understand that’s not really her problem but after waiting for so long and thinking she would help more that was kind of a bummer. Then they move you to a new place about one stop away to stay in. The new place was functional but there’s no screen in the window, it’s covered in dust, and there’s no door handle for the bathroom, it’s just a hole in the door… Also, since I was staying with a friend, I requested a second key card for the door. When she programmed the new card, the original one stopped working. When we realized and asked her to fix the original card, the second one stopped working. It seems as though only one card can work at a time even though they have multiples. Overall I was very frustrated with my experience and I can see why they make their bookings non refundable now.

房間有沒有霉味要靠運氣，想住這家的話記得提早CHECK-IN選房間

到達住宿後，找到留給我們的房卡，房間裡面霉味、潮濕味很重，還有遺留的一團衛生紙跟另一個垃圾，後來聯繫MANAGER後，她來幫我們換房間，表示這裡都是先到先選房間，那團衛生紙應該是當天前一組放棄這間房的客人留下來的，後來換到二樓的房間，房間整體明亮很多，也沒有霉味了，但房間沒開冷氣還是有點潮濕味，冰箱外觀有疑似咖啡還是飲料的噴濺痕跡，住宿整理清潔有待加強，不過床很好睡，浴室空間很大，求個睡覺地方的話還是可以忍受。

좋았어요!!!

가격대 비해서 매트리스도 편리하고 너무좋았습니다. 칫솔도 준비되어있고 샴푸린스 정수기 전자렌지 커피 다 있었습니다 !

바닥청소가 안되있었는지 가루랑 먼지가 많았어요..ㅠㅠ

Need to stay here if you have limited budget!!!!! im already survey other places but this place good

the location is very close to all places, close to convenience stores and places to eat that are relatively cheap and tasty. 5 minutes to the bus or subway station. washer and dryer are fully usable. The toilet in the room makes it very affordable than other places. Will definitely book this place again if I go to Seoul. How to check in is very easy, you just need to scan the WhatsApp QR Code in front of the entrance door and WhatsApp to the staff to get your room number. Extra tips, please download Kakoa Talk for easily comunicate with the staff before you arrive here. From airport can use bus but not directly to the location. you need to change the bus... bus so easy!!!!!!!!

the thing that I am not satisfied with is related to cleanliness, the toilet is quite unclean because there is moss on the wall of the toilet and the toilet tissue is quite limited. The kitchen is a bit unclean and smells because other guests throw away wet garbage. Boots!!! with a cheap price ... you can close one eye. ... before that, one more thing is... the towel is very small... I think you should bring your own towel because the towel provided is a towel the size of a face towel.

DEVONO MIGLIORARE

Era una zona tranquilla a 5/10 minuti dalla metropolitana

Non mi sono piaciute molte cose, a partire dalla ragazza che non ci ha spiegato niente sulla struttura ma si è limitata a darci la chiave e andarsene. Rich house è bella e ha molto potenziale ma nessuno ha valorizzato questo posto. Con delle modifiche sull'igene, sugli spazi e lo staff sarebbe un posto stupendo, peccato.

Might be worth it if you're on a budget

If you're traveling on a budget and don't mind if a room is not 100% clean, then it's worth it. The location is not ideal but well connected to the public transportation. Also there are convenience stores nearby!

-Don't look under the bed! It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. -Towels were smelly and stained. If you decide to stay here bring your own! -The windows mesh were not entirely mosquito proof so we had to keep the windows closed at all times. Even by doing so, mosquitos will come in through the bathroom. -The wallpaper was coming off. -The bathroom was moldy. -Check in was confusing. They don't explain how to do it and you have to improvise at the spot.

It’s good enough.

Bathroom was nice and big. Bed was comfortable enough.

The towel didn’t smell too great and it took a while to check in, the staff weren’t available.

BOOKING ISSUE

That they tried their best to accommodate us, but their best is not enough

We book in advance, paid in advance, but when we arrived, they are no rooms BECAUSE THEY GAVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. THEN THEY TRANSFERED US TO ANOTHER HOSTEL WHICH IS LIKE 10-15 MINS WALK. WE PAID WELL, SO NEXT TIME ACCOMMODATE WELL

Terrible guest house

Nothing to say.

It's extremely terrible. Very dirty. There are lots of fungi. The rooms are not cleaned. They are old and smell. The owner is dowdyish. The price is 50,000 KRW per night. Normally, we can rent a nice room in Korea. However, the price is not suitable for this of service quality. I had to leave this guest house as soon as check in. Never again. This hostel is like a scam.

Okay in general but the smelly towels were concerning…

Bed was comfortable, big bathroom. Air con worked well. Tap and shower worked well too.

Nobody had told us it was a self check-in so it was a bit confusing at first as there was nobody to receive us. We had to call ourselves to find out our room number and get the key, but not a big problem. However, the towels where smelly as if they hadn’t been cleaned in a while, which was concerning. It seemed like they hadn’t changed the towels before our arrival so I couldn’t use them...

Best beds to ruin your back and spine!

You‘ll love the bed if your body‘s made out of steel!

First of all….the guest house did not send any prior information about the self check-in so my friend and I had to contact/phone call them. With a bit of hassle, we were able to check into our rooms, though it took some time until we were able to reach them and get all the important infos. Room itself was SO UNCOMFORTABLE! Floor wasn‘t cleaned (Kimchi or blood stains were seen) and the room had a bad cigarette odor - even the beddings….There was either no matress or the matress/bed was SO HARD that you could feel all these wires underneath. Moldy black spots were seen on every wall and corner. To summarize: Not a pleasant stay even though we stayed only for one night. Room was also not well ventilated so it felt so stuffy to stay there. Toilet paper? Not available. Washed our butts with water. Staff wasn‘t even there- from the time we checked in to the time we checked out. So it was quite difficult to ask for any toiletries from the staff.

good value for money but wouldn’t stay again

close location to the subway (3 different lines) - washing machine and kitchen facilities. somewhat spacious in terms of accommodation in seoul

the place was dirty, especially the freezing cold bathroom. mould everywhere and the toilet was wobbly. the sheets and pillows were full of stains (even the ones that were changed) we came across staff once and never again. communicated over messages which was a hassle at times. we wanted our room cleaned but no one checked the doors and we had to message them again. overall seems like a poorly managed place and lack of communication between staff
