My one interaction with the staff was okay. The room is very small and the property could benefit from some upgrades. It is very convenient to things to do in Seoul. There is no elevator but that was stated in the description. There was no one to assist with luggage like I’ve experienced in other countries. I wouldn’t stay here again but it’s in a good location. I also wasn’t aware of trying to get transportation to pick you up at the location would be so difficult.

The staff were extremely friendly and let us check in early for no additional cost. The communal areas were well stocked and well looked after. The area of the hotel being close to the shopping and markets as well as the metro which is super convenient. The room it self was different to the one we booked with an additional mattress and unit that had no duvet or pillows. The room was clean and bed reasonable comfortable. The bath room needs some work and renovated. It looked worse for wear and whenever we had a shower it flooded our room. For a night or two this hotel is fine but for longer periods of time I’m not so sure. Definitely needs some work being done to for sure.

It’s clean, near bus and train stations and right at the center of the famous Myeongdong street/ shopping district. So many stores and food stalls around. Roman, the manager is also very helpful and hospitable. Highly recommend staying here!

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was great. The room is small however not an issue if you will be out most of the day and just need somewhere to sleep and shower. Basic amenities, communal kitchen area and water cooler which was handy for filling our water bottles. Now the location is fantastic! Literally a couple steps away from the heart of myeongdong which was super convenient for us as we would just go back to the room to drop off shopping before heading out again. Didn’t find it noisy at all. Would recommend if you aren’t a fussy traveller wanting a room with all the bells and whistles :)

Notwithstanding that the hotel was very close to Myeongdong Street and the train station, the facilities were relatively basic although the design looked minimalistic. The mattress was very hard and there was no proper ventilation in the room, save for the tiny ventilation in the washroom. There was also a smell in the room and there was absolutely no space for the luggage. The only good thing about the property was that the staff was very friendly.

Convenient location, near the train and bus and myangdong area where all the shops and food are. It's perfect for solo travelers.

Didn't like the fact I have to carry big luggage down and up. noise can be heard next door easily but that wasn't too bad in my case. Instead of providing four small towels, they could have provide two big ones.

Thank god it was just one night stay

You will get what you paid for. The building itself smelled and they tried covering up with tons of room sprays. The room is pretty small with super thin walls. There were small nats coming up thru the drain, which smelled aweful. Shower I didnt even dare trying taking it. Close to everything but no elevators. I say spend extra 30 dollars and go somewhere decent. If you had to go to a guesthouse, U would say Sunshine guesthouse is in the better condition.

Perfect Location to Myeongdong Shopping

I got into Seoul after 10p so decided to take a cab since the last bus would be gone by the time I got my bag/customs etc. I asked the information booth to translate the address in Korean for my cab driver. He was able to enter it into his GPS system. After hours check-in was simple. My key was on the counter and I just helped myself to the room. Location was in a prime spot, near all the shopping streets but also not in the middle of it all. Was also conveniently located near Namsan Tower. I took a cab up [$3USD] and walked back down. Starbucks and convenient store on each side of the hotel. The street it's on is also great for hailing a cab. Room itself was comfortable for 1 person. Only 2 things I'd recommend are mattress toppers and standard towels. Not only could I feel the springs, I could see them. Luckily I had a twin room so I used the extra comforter as a topper. And the only towels provided were 6 hand towels. Overall - my stay was nice. Owner Eunsuk is friendly and accommodating.

This guesthouse is located in heart of Seoul, close to Myeongdong Station and Shinsegae department store(duty free shop as well) only 3 minutes by walk. Complimentary breakfast is included with accommodation. Very convenient for tourists, affordable price as well! All of staffs were kind, helped carrying our luggages to up and down.
Just one thing that I can advise to you is bring your amenities(hand soap and face soap).

Get a Triple Room if traveling 2 person.

Booked Std Double room but given Economy double room, the room like a cage i would say. Air conditioner full of mould and smell stink all time and making weird noise while operating. Getting old the hard like a rock bed and air conditioner shud service, take only room wit window as the air con doesnt work. Definitely not suitable for family or couples. Bfast was too simple with white bread n cereal, cant even fried an egg as frying pan and cooking tools not available. And the staircase like nightmare! No lift, u need to climb 4th floor everyday and carrying luggages all way up. The only thing is ok is the location, is at the shopping street nothing else is good. You need a place to rest properly but this place(room) is not cozy,noisy (terrible sound insulation), with a lil more price u pay just go for slight better homestay or hotel. I will never recommend friends to this particular K-guesthouse in Myeong-dong. Been in Korea for 10 days, changed 4 guesthouses, this the worst we ever experienced.

If you saw this comment, you dont have to do any other survey because i have checked all hotel in myeong dong area..this hotel is so super clean, location is so superb(just right beside Isaac toast), and the price is so affordable..

Only one disadvantage for this hotel is you have to climb up to 3th Floor(i need to carry my gf luggage down to for 3 floor for 2 times) = =

Overall is good, by the way breakfast is free (simple 1 la..)

Goes beyond its price point

Clean room with everything you could want in hot humid Asia. Service was top tier and there was even a guide to room and life functions that you could read (made ordering that top tier korean chicken super easy). Daily breakfast was good too.

Location was really good. Write next to a subway station and bus stop that will take you to all the major tourist locations while being close to a 24hr korean restaurant.

Overall had an amazing stay here and can definitely recommend it

Convenient guesthouse in myeongdong

Perfect location at the edge of myeongdong shopping area, enjoying the convenience without the noise. Just 3-5 min walk from myeongdong station exit 5, next to the famous Issac toast. The manager Eunsuk is friendly and helpful! The room is small but clean and tidy, shower is hot and strong enough, wifi is stable. Only drawback would be the mattresses are toooo hard for me.
Overall a good place to stay for its price!

Good location and friendly, helpful staff

Pros: price, location, room is TINY but efficient if you just need a place to sleep and shower; staff is helpful and speaks English

Cons: bathroom looked clean but strongly smelled like mold and mildew in the bathroom so much that it overpowered into the bedroom area; possibly a plumbing issue? No hotel should ever smell like that.

Clean, comfortable and convenient hotel

The cleanliness of the hotel is excellent. The hotel location is strategic as it is just located in the centre of Myeongdong. It is just a 2 minutes walking distance towards the subway station and to the shopping streets. The staff of the hotel is helpful and can speak a good english. The hotel does not have lift and you need to carry your luggage and climb up the staircases to 2nd floors.

Uncomfortable and unpleasant stay.

Most unpleasant guesthouse experience of all.
Pictures that are uploaded of the room do not entirely showcase the full size of the room. The triple rooms way too small, even for small sized persons like myself.
Triple rooms are on the 5th floor, so be prepared to climb many flights of stairs everyday.
If i had not read some of the reviews, i would not have known that i would need to bring my own bath towel as the size of the towels provided was really small. But that can be overlooked since it is a guesthouse. It took a while for the water to warm up as well. I was already almost done showering in freezing cold water before the water turned warm.
However, what was most appalling was the cleanliness of the bed, and the way the staff handled the issue. When we checked in, our sheets were stained with something that looks like blood. And when we asked if our sheets could be changed that evening, he said 'Can i change them tomorrow?' So because we were tired after our flight we used the towels to cover the stain and slept. The next morning, my friends got hives on her leg! And even after they changed the sheet for us, there was too another stain on it, which they had used correction fluid to try and cover it!
The managers are normally not there most of the day, which is unhelpful. Plus the main door to the hostel does not require a passcode or key for staying guests to enter. Its constantly unlocked! This is terribly unsafe, especially for female guests like myself.

Good location, clear, good price, nice service

I had a great experience at the K-Guesthouse Myeongdong. The staff were very helpful always willing to give suggestions on attraction and were very knowledgeable about the local area. The location was very close to the subway which makes it really easy to get around and shopping area in Myeongdong is extremely close. The morning breakfast was a lovely touch and gave for an opportunity for guests to meet each other. As a mostly solo traveler I found it a very welcoming environment and other guests were kind and friendly.
overall I would 100% stay here again when I next travel to Korea and would highly recommend it to others.

Good location with late shopping at myeongdong

Its good to be there as the location is superb good. No slope to reach to the guesthouse consider easy to locate, just myeongdong exit 5, walk straight. A turn into myeongdong shopping area. But the stairs and comfort of the bed is not so comforting.

If you dont mind a hard bed, you would enjoy this. If you dont mind climbing to level 5 after a tired day from shopping, you would enjoy this (as we stayed at level 5). Anyway, we realised our bed sheet was not changed after they clean your room, its quite disappointing. But the staffs are helpful and they have everything at guesthouse (weighing device, toilet paper, blah blah blah). Foods not kept after 10am which could help latecomers have a quick bite before going out. However, house rules and ways for having the warm water for shower should brief beforehand. As we experience difficulties in finding out the warm water and we were abit disappointed from the cleaniness of the kitchen. Someone just leave their utensils not clean. Their wall are just not solid and its fake wall.

This hotel in on the 3rd floor. It's ok for youngster, but for family, I am not recommend it because the triple room is on the 5th floor and you have to climb the stair everyday. The staff, Mark Jean is nice, he helped to carry the luggage during my stay. The location is very convenient, can easily find food and cosmectic product. It's save the transport money too.

Great location - Reasonable

The best point for this guesthouse is the neighborhood. The location is strategic and it makes moving around Seoul very easy. Hotel managers are very helpful, friendly and speaks English.

As for the room it is small but expected for a guest house. Bed are very hard, pillows are bubble air and walls are paper thin. If your neighbors are noisy, bring earplugs, they may talk all night or even speak loudly in the corridor. Also the room may have tiles windows, so get an eye mask to avoid the light coming from the outside (no curtains). Bathroom is spacious and comes with shampoo, conditioner and body soap but comes with towels for ants (very small).

Cosy & Central

Initially, we found it really tiny, & we had to lug our bags up the stairs, but after a day we got used to it. Being in the heart of Myeongdong, location was good. Manager was chatty and helpful. Washing machines were free for use & clothes cud be hung to dry on the rooftop. There was also a file recommending where to eat and where to go. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Tiny little room but great location

My family of 3 adults occupied a very small triple room with a double bed n single bed placed together n there is no way one can get out of the bed without disturbing anyone. However, the plus point is that the hotel is in Myeongdong shopping area n the airport shuttle bus is just 5 mins away.

The room was small, but a very comfortable size, as most of my time was spent exploring the area around Myeongdong. The location is very convenient as it is near a subway exit and literally around the corner from the main shops

The location was excellent. Since it's on a main road, I felt safe even at night. Transportation was very convenient, and being right at the entrance to the shopping area made everything so easy. I could quickly drop off my shopping bags at the room before heading back out. Although there was no elevator, the manager kindly helped carry my luggage, which I really appreciated.

The location was perfect right in central Myeongdong, so I could quickly get back after exploring or eating out. It took just five minutes to walk to the subway station, which made traveling around Seoul super easy. The place was very clean, and the common areas were well kept, so I felt relaxed staying there. They offered free breakfast, and there was a shared kitchen, which came in really handy. I really enjoyed my stay, great spot, convenient setup, and everything I needed was there.

Quarto minúsculo para o preço

Vamos lá, tentarei ser o mais justo, o quarto para um ocidental é de pagar $20/noite no máximo, mas estamos na asia onde tudo é reduzido menos os preços, então vou imaginar que é a realidade deles. Naontem acesso por elevador, sim, vai ter que subir escadas. A entrada nem parece hotel, mas é! Fica bem localizado e da pra fazer tudo a pé.
