    Could do with a really good clean but good for a budget place. 😊 Was comfortable and has use of a shared kitchen. Room was a good size.

    Really good location. Right near a main shopping street and metro station. As it is away from the main road, it's surprisingly quiet at night. The communication with the owner is really good and they reply quickly. Would stay again.

    It’s the hill guesthouse and it’s really on a steep hillside.. if you’re with heavy luggage maybe you should reconsider staying here.. the shower host in the bathroom is not functioning well and the temperature of the water is not stable as well.. hope the host could fix the shower host as it’s not convenient using it.. thank you

    It’s a good stay and the host is friendly and helpful as well

    Somehow, the location is uphill. So, it will be not efficient for you if you have heavy luggage. But, anyway other are fine.

    location is very close to myeongdong station. also, it is very easy to access the halal food and myeongdong shopping center.

    The only think is you have to walk up a hill to get to the guest house and it's kinda exhausting after a long day outside haha. But overall it's still a very good place to stay in Seoul 😊

    The room was small but very clean and comfortable. It's pretty near Myeongdong station exit 3 too. Also the owner was very nice and helpful.

    Our room had quite bad black mold in the bathroom, and I discovered there was quite a lot of dust behind the bed (as well as clothing items and rubbish from past guests) that hadn't been cleaned in a long time. It gave me an allergic reaction. There's also no soundproofing, and if you're near inconsiderate guests it's impossible to sleep.

    Great value for money, the host was very flexible and helpful, and the location is ideal. It's within walking distance to the night markets. The hill isn't as bad as the reviews make it sound.

    The bed wasn't comfortable really... The walls are also quite thin so if you have loud neighbors you won't get a good night of sleep (if any sleep at all) :(

    Incredible location and lovely owner! The guest house is very welcoming and toasty in a cold Korean winter 😊 The guest house offers anything that a traveller might need.

    The guesthouse is really on a hill, and there is also no elevator. It maybe quite difficult if you have a big suitcase.

    The manager is very nice and helpful. Room is big enough for one person.

    It's good to be aware that reaching it without a car involves an uphill walk due to the hilly terrain. Carrying a heavy suitcase might be a bit challenging.

    I had a fantastic stay! The host was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The place was comfortable, and the location was perfect. Highly recommended!
