Glad I found this place when my other hotel reservation fell through! I booked last minute and all of the reviews I read were right—it’s clean, quiet, and convenient to access in Seoul. One thing I didn’t necessarily know (but I probably could have found on the website) is that it is not luggage friendly or handicap accessible. That’s not any fault of the owners, but I FYI to others, I did have to drag several suitcases up three floors!

The person who met us at the front desk was very friendly and had very good english! The rooms are small with a bathroom in unit. They also had a nice upstairs to prepare food and some tables to eat at. Overall I would highly recommend staying here if you want somewhere simple and easy while you explore Soeul.

This was such a comfortable guesthouse and so incredibly quiet. I loved the rooftop space, and the surrounding neighborhood was cute. My only regret was the strong odor of mold/mildew in the bathroom. The tiny amount of visible mold wasn’t enough to generate the odor, so it’s difficult to suggest how to tackle it without knowing where originates. If the odor could be eliminated it’s an easy choice to stay here again.

Oh my goodness, where do I even start? Staying here added a special kind of magic to my trip that I will never forget. The owner Kwangsup is an absolute gem of a person who became my good friend during my time here. He and his family run the place and that personal touch is what makes it so magical. Their kindness is above and beyond and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Seoul. I could write on and on for hours about this place and still wouldn’t be able to sufficiently say how amazing it was.

If you're looking for a place that won't wreck your wallet but still keeps you in the action, this hostel is it. I stayed here for two weeks solo travel and had an amazing time. I left my room unoccupied for a few days during a Busan weekend trip and everything was just how I left it, so it's secure, too! Self check-in was a breeze. There's a local line bus stop literally right in front of the building or it’s like 15 minutes tops to walk to Hongik University to ride on the main or the subway, so it's easy to get wherever you need to. I chose to take a taxi to and from the airport bus station since I had luggage, and the alleyway is a perfect pickup spot away from traffic. You’re surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and little shops that’ll keep you wandering. It’s not touristy-overload either — it feels way more local and chill. Inside, there’s a full kitchen with actual cooking gear (not just one pan and a prayer), plus free water refills and towels which is awesome. I ate out front on the little terrace more than once. There’s AC (at least in my room), and although I never heard back about using the hostel’s laundry facilities, there are two self-service laundromats a block away for about the same price. If you want somewhere clean, super convenient, and walking distance to all the food and coffee you can handle — this is your move. Especially if you’re heading to or from Hongdae for shopping and nightlife! I hope to come back someday :)

Great find!

The guesthouse was really comfortable. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. They have a lovely rooftop for guests to use. I loved the location. There is a bus stop right in front of the guesthouse. There is a convenience store right next to it, and wonderful restaurants behind it.

とても素敵でした！

3泊4日でお世話になりました。この値段で驚くほどの綺麗さと人の良さでした！部屋は広くなく、本当に十分睡眠が取れればいい方向けだと思います。チェックインの際にも荷物を持ってくださったり、日本語で一生懸命説明してくださいました。2日目の朝に事務所から出てこられたお姉さんに道を聞きましたが、優しく丁寧に教えて下さりとても助かりました。チェックアウトも面倒な手続きはなく、鍵をカゴに入れて完了でしたのでたいへん泊まりやすかったです。次の旅行でも利用すると思います！
