Gudo Residence Chungmuro Reviews

The hotel is hidden behind the alley but it is not difficult to find. Uber is cheap and easy soo no fuss. There’s a dry market opposite good for some fried fruits

Good 👍🏻

Location is convenient. Place was clean and equipped. Love that the place has a laundry machine & dryer. If you need an iron + board, you can just request for it. Communication thru trip.com is fast as well. Overall a very pleasant stay. Recommended for families travelling together 😊

Very convenient location, transportation accessibility is excellent. For a family of 5 people

Gudo residences, located in a small alley near Chungmuro / DDP History and Cultural Museum. Airport Limousine was just a street away outside Baiton Hotel. Has 7-11 and C-U nearby. We stayed for 05nights. Host was responsive and provided additional bottles of water when we requested as we did not know it will only be provided upon check in. Rooms were comfortable. Towels, shampoo & bodywash were also provided in the toilet cabinets and bath area. The floor conditioner was warm and comforting after day of non stop walking. We will be back next round. Thanks Gudo Residence.

Quiet, comfortable, very clean and all necessary tools are ready.

We love the view during night and day. Especially market and playgroud is nearby🥰

Love love the location. Hidden in the charming part of Seoul, just beside an actual market, so we had fun buying the fruits and ginseng from the stores. The train station is just 8 mins walk (you got to cut through the market) with the lift access on the same side as our road. It is very useful for us as we travelled with a toddler who is still using strollers. Our unit was installed with one washer and one dryer, so it was super convenient to wash our clothes. Owner was also kind enough to give us washing detergent during our stay. Appreciate heaps! One thing to note: their double beds are much smaller than standard Queen, hence you will likely need to squeeze if you are not Asian. In fact, we let our kids sleep on the double bed as even us Asian find it tough to sleep on it.

Good location, good size, nice amenities

It is very suitable for a family of four. Each person has a bed and sleeps very comfortably. There is a lot of space at this price. There are many electrical appliances. We used the microwave to heat rice and steam rice cakes, which is very convenient. But when you check in at 3 pm, the password is not sent to your email immediately. It is recommended to come 20 minutes later or wait outside the door. The location of the apartment is a bit difficult to find. It is not on the side of the avenue, and you need to turn into the alley. The toilet in the bathroom may be a bit blocked because it is a self-service hotel, and sometimes the water does not drain quickly. Everything else is very good, more surprising than expected. I recommend staying here and hope to help you choose.

The layout of two bedrooms and one living room is very suitable for family travel. One of the rooms has two single beds, which is very suitable for families with two children. There is a small kitchen for cooking and cutting fruits. The refrigerator has a large space for refrigeration and freezing. The shower water volume is large, and the sound insulation is very good. There are many small industrial areas nearby, but it is not noisy. There are also convenience stores nearby for basic shopping.  The only drawback is that the pots are non-stick pots, and there are many scratches on them. The towels and foot mats will not be replenished after they are taken away. You need to notify them separately. If you encounter problems at night, usually someone will deal with it the next morning. There is no laundry detergent, so you need to buy it yourself. But overall it is a very good experience, and I will consider staying next time.

There is a washing machine and dryer in the room, so you can clean your clothes directly after going out every day, which is very convenient, but remember to request laundry beads in advance. However, the installation of the washing machine is a bit tricky. It may be because the previous resident or cleaner closed the door immediately after washing clothes, causing the washing machine to be too wet and mold to form. Residents should pay attention to this. In addition, the bathroom is a bit small and there is no place to put the changing clothes. It is recommended to install a movable rack behind the door, which can be put down to place clothes after closing the door. If you need to store your luggage, you can contact the hotel. They also have a room for guests to store their luggage.

I stayed here for 2 nights and 3 days. It's about a 7-minute walk from Euljiro 4-ga Station, and about a 10-minute walk from Chungmuro ​​Station. You can use various lines, and you can walk to Dongdaemun and Myeongdong. There are convenience stores and cafes nearby, as well as Jungbu Market and Gwangjang Market, so the location is very good, but I felt that it was a little difficult to walk with a suitcase. You will be emailed the password to enter the room at 15:00 on the day. Both check-in and check-out are contactless and there are no procedures, so you can enter the room smoothly after arrival and leave immediately when you leave, which was convenient! ! The exterior and interior are new and clean, and my friend who went with me seemed to like it very much. There are two living rooms and bedrooms, so you can have private space when you sleep, which is very good. There is a kitchen space and a large refrigerator in the living room, and the freezer space to cool ice cream is also large, which was appreciated. The bathroom is shared with the toilet, but it has a glass door, so the toilet doesn't get soaked! There were plenty of bath towels for everyone and small towels, as well as shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and a hair dryer. (There are no toothbrushes, so it's best to bring your own.) There was also a styler in the bedroom, which was convenient! It was a very pleasant trip, with everything I needed and a comfortable stay. I'd definitely like to use this again if I go to Seoul!!

The hotel's hygiene and location are acceptable, but I still haven't received any check-in information from the hotel after arriving in Korea. Since the hotel has no front desk, no one has replied to my emails. The toilet is small, but overall it's acceptable. I originally requested late check-out when booking, but no one replied. They said it was not possible when I checked in. The arrangement is very confusing. I hope it can be improved.
