Great location and super helpful host Jin who went out of her way to ease our trip. The hill leading to the guesthouse is pretty manageable unless you are carrying heavy luggage. The building is older and there are some signs of gentle wear and tear, but Jin made a great effort to make it comfortable, and it provides excellent value given the price, location, and amount of space for our family of 4. I would stay here again on my next trip.

Jin is one of the kindest souls I've ever met. The hostel is clean and there is laundry and simple breakfast. The door is padded, so even though one of the girls in my room kept slamming the door, I didn't find it too loud. I found my stay very lovely and comfortable. 진님, 정말 고맙습니다!

Guest house is about 10-15mins walkable form Hongik station exit 9 but have to make sure u can climb the very steep hill road to reach the guest house. With heavy and big luggage will be more difficult. But the host kind enough to offer pick up at Hongik subway station.

Wonderful guest home for seeing a cool part of the

This was a really amazing experience. The hosts were so kind. They picked us up from and dropped us off at the metro station, offered food, and has a lovely place. There was a shared bathroom, but only a few people staying so there was never and issue. Highly recommend as this was a great spot

Super friendly hosts. Thank you, Jin! Upstairs was not so much as described or pictured, but overall we appreciated our room and it was about as expected for the pricing tier and Asian lodging in general. Should try for a softer pillow, and small table lamps in the bedroom versus the glary ceiling fixture.

Centrally located, not recommended for seniors or anyone with disabilities as the staircase is narrow and there is no handrail. Difficult to navigate with even carry on luggage. Had a virtual host which is fine and response was quick.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were very nice and patient, and most of the facilities/amenities were convenient and maintained well. It was a very quiet area, even being in a city there were no noticeable nightlife sounds. Also within 5-10 min walking distance of numerous food/shops/stations/and a park. While the important main areas like beds/baths/kitchen were kept clean, the common area was a bit too crowded with stuff to feel usable, and there was quite a bit of dust/grime buildup in various nooks like behind beds and appliances. Overall a very comfortable place to stay and well worth it.

A really nice option if you're on a budget and don't mind sharing the space with strangers. The host was very sweet and easy to communicate with. The location is very close to a lot of food and not too far from the subway station so it was pretty convenient. It was a very enjoyable stay.

We stayed at the family suite. The suite is below the ground level and is moldy. You do get a lot of space for the money with a private kitchen and a bathroom, and 2 small bedrooms. The owner is super nice and accommodating so i feel bad saying this but I cant recommend this moldy family suite.

Very clean facility. Nice owners. I just wish more detailed signs were provided in English on how to lock the door. The owner told me how when I arrived however I forgot after four days and locked the door incorrectly. I was also not able to find a working air conditioner so it was a bit hot at night. I would stay here again!
