  • Jiří from Czech Republic (8/10)

    Location is great, you're pretty much next to anywhere you want to go. Room was also quite spacious for the price.

  • Tina from Slovenia (8/10)

    The location was convenient for visiting N Seoul Tower and reasonably close to the Myeongdong subway station. It was up the hill a bit, but so are many other guesthouses in the area, this is just the natural landscape of Seoul. The room was small, but still comfortable and clean. There was a shared kitchen. You will be asked to remove your shoes upon entering. It was quiet at night, but needed to use the AC quite a bit, as Seoul is just very hot and humid in August.

  • Jacky from Australia (8/10)

    Good location close t bus part of the city. Plenty to see in walking distance. Cable car to N Seoul Tower a good trip.
    Owner was very helpful with instructions to reach guesthouse & organised airport transfer for us, which was much appreciated

  • Connor from United Kingdom (8/10)

    The location is perfect, right by a bus stop and minutes’ walk to Myeong Dong. 7/11 1 minute away. There was aircon and wifi and a communal kitchen. Basic rooms but all the essentials were there.

  • Liza from United Kingdom (7/10)

    It is affordable, walking distance to tge metro srarion and myeongdong night market

  • Janice from Singapore (9/10)

    Friendly host with great communication. Cosy room, comfortable bed. Surprisingly excellent hairdryer. Very convenient location near Myeongdong – the hill is steep, but the location is good for riding the Namsan cable car or walking to the park.
