This location is centrally located in downtown where you can walk within 20 min, you can get to King’s palace, Myoung-dong(shopping center), Revitalized creek urban park, many subway access, line 2,3,and 5. Also easy to get to Seoul train station. Amazing location and so many dinning options without traveling far! The host was super nice and had many suggestions. One can access to the hotel easily through Bus or Rail (direct from Inchon airport).

Cozy hotel, interesting local thought as nice that it was near a bunch of food and bus stops. Room was tight but cheap. The people there were very nice, the bed was alright, there was a mattress cover on it but it would slide sometimes when I was not sleeping and the bed frame had to rest against the wall since it would rock otherwise. Definitely not a luxurious stay but it does the job if you only use it to sleep. Wouldn’t recommend if you plan on staying in your hotel room long.

The people who run this place were exceptional....so much so that I actually burst into tears the night before I left. I miss them so much already and if I am able to visit Korea I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The location is just brilliant, facilities excellent and as I said the family who run the place are some of the most wonderful people I have met. The only downside was that the bed was a little firm for me - but I do suffer from chronic pain and sleep in a nest of memory foam 😂 it still would not stop me from staying here again though 💜💜💜

I didn't care for the location because it was too far from the places I needed to go but that's on me. It wasn't easy to catch taxis and you had to walk to find them. I never saw the manager. Because I don't live in Korea, I didn't have KaKao and couldn't call to message him. I called the other telephone number many times. but only got a busy signal. I arrived early, after a long flight, but couldn't check in until several hours later. When I returned to check in, my key, with my name attached was on the front desk. Likewise, when I left, I put my key in a basket that anyone one could access. I did see a cleaning lady a couple times when I left. The bathroom/shower room was literally smaller than the toilet on my plane when I flew to Seoul. The toilet seat was poorly attached and I had to adjust it when I used it. The WiFi was excellent and the TV was fine but no English news channels like CNN or BBC. Even though the location was poor for my needs, there were many restaurants and coffee shops in the area. It's on an alley and a little difficult to find but that's more of a problem for the taxis. Some were reticent to go down the alley to the entrance. I don't want to say it was a bad experience but I've stayed in better for less. To be fair, though, not in Seoul. I'd give it a C.

Die Lage des Gästehaus ist sehr gut, fußläufig erreicht man den Kaiserpalast, den Hauptbahnhof und weitere Ziele. Das Zimmer war einfach eingerichtet, aber alles war sauber und gepflegt. Die Besitzerin war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, man kann kostenlos seine Wäsche waschen.
