The property was fuctional and clean, but it is older building. Staff's friendliness made up for what was lacking in modern furnishings and accommodations. It is still a functional and reasonably priced stay for a traveler needing basic room and board. Close to shops and restaurants also gives appeal to the area.

Functional and accessible. Everything went well and the service is great. A little bit of paint was peeling, but at this price point, That's totally fine. Would stay again.

The rooms were a little dirty the walls could certainly be cleaned. My least favorite bit was being woken up by something moving around in the wall next to my head.

Reception wasn't great, very vague and unapproachable. There was no kitchen despite one being advertised and photos on this listing. Little things like lightbulbs and handwash missing. Fine for one night but just a grim feeling about the place.

It is a property specifically meant for non-Koreans. The bathrooms are generally Korean in style i.e. the shower area and the toilet are combined and therefore there is no wet/dry area in the bathroom. The sleeping area on the other hand is similar to a hostel you would find in Lisbon or Barcelona. As far as powering up your devices are plenty of sockets available. The WIFI is pretty strong in every room and in the public areas as well. It is located between 2 stations on the Metro on line 2.

I feel really safe in the guesthouse. They prioritize your personal space and privacy. The staff are outstanding. The room is neat and tidy. The price of using the laundry is reasonable, W8000.They accept credit cards as your mode of payment.

Wonderful place to stay for few days. I had my own room with its bathroom. If you like to interact with others, you can stay in the 6 people room. Staffs were very nice and their service was great. There is a train station nearby (approx. 10 minutes of walking - Yeongdeungpogu office station). Have many convenience stores and good and affordable restaurants nearby. Would love to stay here again.

The price is reasonable and room space is quite big compared to other similar hotel tier.

Downside is the provided towel is musty after several uses. The provided towel is available to collect at 2nd floor but it was run out most of the time during my stay so I have to use the musty towel for many days.

Great bang for your buck based on where we were. Super close to two subway lines located close to almost everywhere we were planning to go. Staff was super friendly and the room had everything we needed. Was surprised how quiet it was to sleep considering it was just as busy of an area as anywhere else in Seoul. Would stay here again!

Great value for money accomodation. Close enough to a station, to connect to other areas. A few coffee shops and restaurants.
Room was clean and spacious. Shower hot.
The whole floor was highly heated and the remote to the air con was missing unfortunately. Bed was quite small and the blanket was barely enough to cover two people.
All in all would be happy to stay again.

Cheap and practical model at a good location

I stayed in Apollo Guesthouse with my brother for 12 days in Christmas and New Year holiday, and it was nice and warm place. I had initially worried about being cold, but there was generous central heating that made the room always warm. This hotel is a small one, no lobby area and no daily cleaning, but the price is very good for the central location. Short walk to the district office area has many good restaurants - cheap and expensive ones, 24-hour convenience stores, juice bar, many cafes, pharmacies. It was very convenient.

The owner is extremely kind and overall extremely helpful, which is always really great to see. The rooms overall are very good quality for the price, coming with very comfortable bedding, really incredible A/C (which was a godsend with summer here being as hot as it is), and very fast wifi. However, it was not without issues as the room I was staying in had water damage from recent rain which did unfortunately lead to many mosquitos entering the room. This issue, on top of things such as the room having very few useable electrical outlets, fresh drinking water only being able to be found in the stairway on the first floor, and the kitchen being similarly plagued by mosquitos; do sadly bring my rating down as I feel they are issues that could have been better solved. However, none of these are MASSIVE problems either so as a whole I do wholeheartedly recommend this property!

Super basic accommodations. Very squeaky beds and hard mattresses. For the price, we were fine with it, but if we had more money, we would have stayed elsewhere. One super small towel provided; bring a towel! Walkable to some areas to eat and shop. Walkable to metro.

가격 생각하면 나쁘지 않지만 방음이 안되고 방안이 눅눅한데 환기가 안돼요. 침대 시트에서 머리카락과 냄새가...세탁없이 그냥 펼쳐만 놓으신것 같구요. 그래도 서울에서 저렴하게 일박할 곳 찾으신다면 괜찮을겁니다.

坐公車及地鐵都很方便，不方便的就是沒有電梯，樓梯蠻宅的，高度差有點高，不過櫃檯的人員很好，有幫忙搬行李，下樓的時候剛好也遇到一位男生幫忙搬行李，真的是非常感謝櫃檯小姐及幫忙搬的男生❤️🙏單人房的房間乾淨、好睡、廁所不會太小間，沒有冰箱，沒有乾濕分離，門鎖有點老舊，但是以這個價格來說算很便宜了，不要要求太多😆下次還會再來❤️

Ein gutes Hostel mit sehr guter Anbindung da zwei U-Bahn Linien 5 min entfernt sind. Auch bis zu den typischen Gegnden wie Hongdae oder Myeongdong braucht man daher nicht lange. Personal war freundlich und hat auch englisch gesprochen.
Die Zimmer sind groß für Koreanische Verhältnisse. Man könnte vielleicht noch ein kleinen Nachtisch hinzufügen und eine Kleine Lampe um nicht das Deckenlicht nutzen zu müsse aber sonst alles super für budget friendly trips. Wäsche kann auch gegen eine Gebühr gewaschen werden . In der Ärea selbst gibt es viele gute Locations zum Essen und Mullae ost auch Fußläufig erreichbar

서울 시내에 이 가격에 묵을 수 있는 곳 없음.
잠만 필요한 여행자라면 적극 추천. 냉장고 빼고는 있을 것 다 있음.
교통편도 괜찮고 주위에 먹거리 많음.

역근처와 가격을 생각하면 준수합니다.

4인 도미토리를 썼습니다. 생각보다 깨끗해서 놀랐습니다. 화장실도 깨끗했습니다. 하수구 냄새가 올라오기는 하지만 문 닫고 있으면 괜찮았습니다. 수건도 바짝 말라있어서 너무 좋았구요. 다만 방은 생각이상으로 더 좁았습니다. 방안에 있는 드라이기 조그만한데 성능이 준수합니다. 린스, 클렌징폼, 샤워타월은 개인 용구 챙겨가야합니다. 베드에 충전 꽂이는 있는데 개인용 라이트는 없습니다. 모기 있다는 후기에 걱정했지만 모기는 없었습네다.

The room is very clean that better than I expected. It is good that there is drinking water supply in the ground floor. The room is not very small, I think the size is okay to open two suitcases at the same time. There are only two shelves, but no table / chair to place the stuff. There is no 24 hour receptionist, and the room lock is almost broken but still works. It made me feel a bit unsafe. The staff and guests are almost foreigners and nice too. The hotel is a bit far from the main area, need to walk a bit to the subway exit and you still need to walk a bit to the platform after entering the exit. 4 subway stations to Hongdae and 4 stations to The Hyundai Seoul.

Thank you for hosting us. The Apollo is a very cute place for a small budget. Especially, the service was incredible and the hosts were very courteous. The surrounding is very quite and has a lot of food places. The BBQ right next to our accommodation is highly recommended.
Besides of that, you can tell that the building is quite old and not in a good condition anymore, which is very unfortunate. Also the extractor in the bathroom is very dirty.

エレベーターは有りませんが、チェックイン時は部屋まで荷物を運んでくれました。バスタオルは有りませんが、キレイなタオルが沢山置いてあるので何枚か使わせてもらいました。ベッドや枕は寝やすかったです。
近くにロッテマート、Ｅマート、ダイソー等も有り便利でした。

不満点その１、ドアノブがグラグラしていて鍵をかけたり開けたりしづらかったです。
その２、バスルームが使いづらいです。シャワーの位置・トイレの位置・トイレットペーパーの位置・タオル掛けの位置…どうやってもトイレまでビショビショになります。
その３、他の書き込みにも有りましたが、何の臭いか分からないけど何か臭かったです。

スタッフ不在のゲストハウス

すぐ近くの大通りのバス停へは、永登浦駅からバスが頻発しており、簡単に行けるゲストハウス。永登浦区庁地下鉄駅からは歩いて10分くらい。
フロントは10時～22時と書かれているが実際は、お昼にチェックアウト後の部屋の掃除に来るだけで、普段は誰もいない。フロントにある名刺で携帯に電話するとチェックインの手続きしに来るようだった。
部屋にエアコンはあるが、冷房しか効かないので、フロント係のGmailに英語で連絡すると、翌日部屋に小さいヒーターが置かれていた。（対応はこんな感じで遅いがちゃんとしてくれる）
チェックアウト後に、荷物預かりを頼むと、部屋に置いておくように言われ、昼過ぎに戻ると、フロント前に出してあった。（係りの人は部屋の掃除で不在なので、持っていこうと思えばだれでも持っていける状態）
ゲストハウスには、キッチンがあり、そこの冷蔵庫にものを保管し、調理もできる。調味料や油はある。永登浦駅か、永登浦区庁駅付近まで行くとレストランも多いが、ゲストハウスの近所は、ちょっと外国人にはハードルの高そうな店しかない。
