Great place to stay. I recommend it.

Very nice place to stay. Very simple self-check in, no one bothers you in your room, and if you ever need something you just need to contact the owners. The area of the guesthouse is super close to Myeongdong station and other bus stops, so it is very easy to access.

boa hospedagem com dificuldade de comunicação

Fica bem localizada e os quartos apesar de simples são bons e limpos, o único problema é a comunicação, pois raramente tinha alguém la e mesmo quando tinha não falavam inglês, logo ficamos várias vezes no portão esperando que alguem chegasse.

It was the perfect place to stay in Seoul. We had a nice room and they provided an extra mattress for our baby. The breakfast was very good and we could have a biscuit and tea at any time of the day. It is located in a quite side street but at the same time it is close to food stands, shops and restaurants. The owners are very nice and helpful.

Cozy hotel with great staff, convenient location

The staff Jo and Amir are super kind and friendly! They helped us carry the luggage up to our room on the second floor! Also helped us carry the luggage down the stairs on the street outside the hotel! That was really going the extra mile for service! They also responded rapidly whenever we have questions or need anything! :) Room and bathroom was also very clean except for under the beds but no issue :) Totally convenient to navigate around!! - Just five min walk away from Myeongdong shopping street and Myeongdong station - Two convenience stores and lots of restaurants around the area - Two min walk to a bus stop to catch shuttle bus to N Seoul Tower - Five min walk to airport limousine bus stop (near Myeongdong shopping street) for bus to incheon or gimpo airport Thanks to Soo guesthouse, we had a great trip!! :)

The most amazing and cozy guesthouse

Wow! Just AMAZING! The owner Jo was very accommodating and made me feel very welcome. The guesthouse is very cozy, easy to find, close to subway station, and in the center of Myeongdong. It was my first time going to Korea and I don't speak any Korean and I had no issues finding this place and the owners spoke perfect English. Breakfast was provided every morning. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Less than 5 min walk to the lively Myeongdong but far enough that you don't hear it all night long. Rooms were very clean, towels, shampoo, body wash, toothpaste were all provided. Couldn't have asked for anything more. I miss this guesthouse already and it definitely made my trip in Seoul even more amazing.

Extraordinary services! We will go back again

When I researched for a hotel for our family vacation I noticed that Soo Guesthouse has very high rating. I was suspicious about how a guesthouse can get such high rating that even uncommon for a 4-star hotel. We found it in a very convenient location. The service was surprisingly good. Soo and her husband put in their personal touch in every detail of their service that made our stay at Soo Guesthouse extraordinary sand unforgettable. Feels like being treated as guests in their house. We were so glad that we made the decision to choose to stay at Soo Guesthouse. We really appreciate everything you did.

清潔で快適！

エクスペディアのレビューで、掃除が行き届いているっていう意見が多かったので宿泊予約しました。 実際、お部屋の中もバスルームも清潔で快適でした。 リュックサック１つだったので、シングルルームの広さは満足です。フリーWiFiあり。 ベットも清潔でした。 宿の周辺は建物が密集していますが、特に騒音は気になりません。静かで快適でした。 スタッフさんは日本語は通じませんが、私のつたない英語を一生懸命に理解しようとしてくれて、何とか通じました。 ちょこっと坂を登りますが、駅からも近いので便利です。（大きなトランクだと大変だと思います。）

Great location for light travellers

It is a convenient location to myeongdong and lots of eatery place. However there are flights of stairs to walk up to the guesthouse so if you have lots of luggages it will be a bit inconvenient. The host did help to carry some of our luggages. It is very basic no frills accomodation.

Great location, tidy ,clean, helpful friendly host

The location was excellent, very close to the metro station also Myeong-dong shopping street, within a 5 minute walk to Myeong-dong. I like the guesthouse very tidy and clean. Friendly and very helpful host. I was leaving for the airport at 6, the host willing to wake up early and helps us to carry the heavy luggages, it was really sweet. A warm, convenient and good service guesthouse, it feels like a home. Overall, I would highly recommend Soo Guesthouse. I would definitely stay there again. 位置绝佳，交通非常便利, 老板人很和善，干净整潔, 5分钟就能走到酒店了，店主知道我們要乘座早機，6時便起床幫我們搬很多行李，還幫我們在路邊看管了很久的行李，我們真是過意不去，Soo Guesthouse所提供的服務是一般酒店未能提供的。
