The rooftop apartment is clean and nice. The ceiling is quite low so if you're above 175cm tall, it might be a bit uncomfortable. Also, the shower/bathroom space is quite cramped. But, the beds are nice, you have immediate access to the rooftop garden space, and it's quiet. Plus, it's nested in the incredible foodie paradise of Yeonnamdong.
This guesthouse was very clean and in a perfect neighborhood for good food and drinks. The manager was kind and almost immediately available when I arrived unannounced. The bed is hard but that can be overlooked because of the overall cleanliness, condition, and cost of this stay. Very satisfied.
If you're looking for something good and cheap, with nice quality in a nice location, this is the place to stay at. I was going to visit Seoul to meet and stay with my girlfriend and we're surprised of how nice the place was. The place was cozy, near Hongdae station and lots of restaurants & stores nearby. Mr Kim was an awesome host who helped with anything I needed. Daily cleaning available as well if you want. The toilet and fridge could be a bit cleaner but all in all I highly recommend it. I'm most definitely coming back here next time I visit Korea :)
The alleyways can get a bit confusing but the guesthouse overall was fantastic and the host was very accommodating to my needs. I was very thankful to stay here and was a great area to explore!
My wife and I stayed here 3 years ago and it was lovely. So, we wanted a weekend break in Seoul and we thought we'd try it again. What a mistake.
Three years have passed and the guesthouse has gone completely downhill. Our room was stuffy, uncomfortable and the bathroom was disgusting. I don't think anyone cleans that bathroom because there was mold growing between the wall tiles. We asked to have our room changed but they could only change our room on the final night of our stay. The room they moved us to was better, but the bathroom was still dirty. Overall our stay was very bad. It's a relief that the guesthouse is in a fantastic area. We tried to stay outside and explore Seoul as much as we could, just so we didn't have to go back to the room. Utterly disappointing.
This place is located in a wonderful area and a 10 minute walk to the subway station (Hongik Univ. Station). Also nearby is Hongdae and great artist neighborhood and much more to do and eat. The hotel has good service and it even provided a breakfast (cereal/toast). The owner was wonderful and made himself available for anything we may have needed.
