The single room was filthy, especially the layers of dirt and grime on the window blinds that showed it hadn't been cleaned in years. Many signs mentioned coffee in the breakfast, but there was none. Luckily, another traveler had their own supply, and kindly shared it. Staff were hard to find without a phone call, which is not an option for all travelers.

There are better options for the price

If I had to sum it up in one word, I would call it grim. This is a hostel, not a hotel. And not the most community friendly or picturesque hostel I've stayed at. I honestly have to question if the other reviews aren't shill reviews or fakes.

We had some last minute travel changes and booked online with little info and little knowledge of the city. Our family of four was not presented with a lot of options, but I believe that to be my poor patience and limited listings on the site we used rather than an actual lack of rooms in the area. The location is OK, but not great as you have to haul your luggage about one km up the hill from the subway station. There are many other guest houses that are more central to the Meyong Dong shopping and restaurants.

No one was at the desk upon our arrival. We called and the host showed up to give us our key and show the room. Contrary to the other reviews, we never saw the owners. We also never saw the staff again. Our room had the remnants of a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom and only two towels for our four. On the second day we discovered it was \"stock your own\" by searching the cabinets in the common area. The community room is tiny and in the windowless basement. Clever use of mirrors make it seem larger, but there are only two tables. The mattresses stick springs in your back.

We pre-paid for four nights. It was bad enough that we left and rented a new hotel room for the remainder of our trip, eating the cost.

Stay at a Hilly Korean Guest House

We stayed 3 nights here. It was high up a hill, clean, neat, and musical. The owner liked to play classical music and had many musical instruments in the common area. The breakfast included orange juice and eggs, which you don't always find in a Korean guest house. The owner was a little grumpy, but I suppose that is part of Korean culture at times. He watched us to be sure we took off our shoes and locked the main door when we left for the day. He needs to smile more! And he really needs to instal a railing for the steep stairs that led down to our room which was roomy and had a large, clean bathroom where kids could play like it was a little pool. Although our room was in the basement and had no windows, it was quiet and peaceful. Overall, a nice place to stay for a couple or a family.

This is a cozy place very near Myeongdong station. The room was clean and near shops, restaurants and transportation. The only downside is that you need to bring your luggage uphill for a bit. I would definitely stay again

非常に最悪です。

ゲストハウスとあり、スタッフの不在時間が多いのは仕方ないですが緊急時に表示されている電話番号に連絡しても一切繋がりませんでした。

今回、自身の不注意で午前8時頃に部屋のドアをインロックしてしまい、フロントに書いてある連絡先に電話を掛けても全く繋がらず1時間程フロアで待機する事になりました。

どうしようか迷っている時にスタッフルームにスタッフ2名がいる事に気づき部屋をノックしてインロックしてしまった事を伝えたのですが、午前11時までは勤務時間じゃないからと20分程対応して貰えず、しばらくして部屋から出て来てようやく合鍵を探す始末でした。

おまけにその部屋の合鍵を持っておらず、似た鍵でなんとかノブを回して中に入る事が出来ました。


スタッフは終始不機嫌で電話に出れなかった事に対する謝罪も一切なく、物凄く気分の悪い滞在になってしまいました。

滞在中、他のお客さんも何度もスタッフを探していて対応に困っている様子でした。

作りが古いのもありユニットバス?のような浴槽は水漏れもしていて衛生面も劣悪でした。

朝食付きとはいえ、10部屋以上あるのに置いてあったのは一袋の食パン、6つのカップ面、少しのシリアルと牛乳のみでした。

1泊3万2千円、今後二度と宿泊する事はありません。
