Reviews
Sergei from Russia (9/10)
Clean, nice, great location, very helpful and kind owners. Highly recommended!
Arlene from Philippines (9/10)
We like the homey and cozy feel of Ari House, aside from its superb location near restaurants, coffeeshops and shopping centers, even the Airport Bus stop and Train Station are just walk away. Highly recommended place. Also, the owner is super friendly and accommodating! We are happy we choose Ari house for our stay in Seoul Korea and when there's an opportunity to travel to Korea again, we will stay in this guesthouse again.
Mujtahid from Bangladesh (9/10)
The staff is really friendly and advised us how to roam around Seoul
Anastasia from Greece (9/10)
There is a choice of biscuits and jams and butter, coffee, milk, tea, home-made sort of tea with herbs (very tasty) and ramen all day long. Every guest prepares his own breakfast and washes used dishes and utensils. Situated at the very center, two minutes' walk from the stop to and from the airport. Friendly, helpful and smiling personnel. We felt heartily welcomed.

Julia from Poland (9/10)
Amazing hospitality, we loved this place very much. We were sad to leave Ari House. The staff was really sweet and helpful. We loved the homemade teas and jam. The futons were really comfortable and the room very clean. We got fresh towels every day. Near Myeongdong station and the huge daiso shop so it was very convenient. We highly recommend staying at Ari House!
