Great location, really close to the main road where the bus stops are (to and from airport and to major stops in the city). There are two department stores in 100-200m plus street food stalls too. Room is quite small if you have more than 1 big luggage, and you do shower where the toilet is. I've travelled Asia a lot so I'm used to it, but others may find it off putting!

as i checked some of airport bus info via online blogger, claimed is drop off and pick up at same bus station. For safe, i take a photo and asked one of staff - Chris and show my photo to ask, he said ”YES” is this station, every 20mins. As this is my double check it, so i believe will not have any problem. When i check out and go to that bus station to take bus to airport, after 20mins waiting, finally i notice that have a small red sentence mentioned need to walk opposite side to take airport bus to airpot. I understood i have responsibility but when I show off photo to him he say ”YES”!!! if he not sure he can reply me not sure instead of say ”YES” thank you!

Good location, bit up the hill but located close to the subway station. Not very social so not that great for solo travelers. The female dorm is on the 5th and has no windows or air circulation, the ac was off and no way of getting fresh air in. Many people were sick and coughing all night when the room was boiling hot.

I like that this guesthouse was very close to the subway exit and on the same line as all the places I was visiting. The price was decent for having my own space and not having to share a bathroom. The room was clean and nice & cold. The bed was a bit uncomfortable but that seems to be the case in most places I've stayed in here in Korea.

There are mixed reviews by other travelers for this place. Personally I would say my 3 nights here have been pleasant and enjoyable. The staff went out of the way to clean my room first to enable check-in upon my unannounced super early arrival. There was a large window in my room giving a panoramic view of the vicinity. The air-conditioner functioned well. The room was clean and I didn’t have any issues with the provided bedding. My room did not come with a private bathroom so no molding concerns and the shared bathroom/toilet was clean and not piled with garbage as one might experience in other hostels. I did not have to line up for my turn for the bathroom at all during my stay, probably because the people here stay for a longer term and thus did not all hit the bathroom at times day travelers would. I noticed the members of staff washing/hang-drying the used towels and the comforters of guests who have checked out every day. There was a water dispenser for hot and cold water in the kitchen, which was convenient. The fridge was stuffed with food but that wasn’t a concern for me as I put beverages and snacks in the mini fridge in my room. I did some simple cooking (instant noodles) and found the cooking utensils, stove and sink to be well maintained.

I stayed in the coldest month of February, but the moment I entered the room it was warm, and there was a heater so I was able to stay comfortably. The owner explained everything to me when I checked in, but he was very kind and I was able to stay with peace of mind. When I checked out, I had two large pieces of luggage, but the owner carried them from the second floor to the first floor without me having to ask, which was very helpful. Line 5 is nearby, so it was convenient when heading to Gimpo Airport. The walls are thin, so I don't recommend this hotel for people who want to have fun with friends or watch TV at a loud volume inside the room. (The owner also explains about noise levels.) I go to Korea several times a year, so I would like to use this hotel again when I stay in Dongdaemun. I would also like to recommend this hotel to friends who are traveling alone to Dongdaemun.

The rooms (Level 3) are small but perfect for small budget travelers. The hotel staff will not always be at the reception so every time you need to use the iron you must call the phone number (+82) placed at the counter and return it immediately. She also let us check in early (around 2pm) instead of 4pm without any charge. For luggage storage can be stored in the pantry area near the front desk (Level 1).

There are ups and downs. Ups: great hospitality, location, first floor and tables, amenities, tea, kitchen, toilets, lockers. Downs: you should be aware of tenants of a very low cultural level that you may encounter — they turn on main lights in the middle of the night, loud, fart all night, turn off the aircon and ******** loud when everyone is awake. And all these happened with guys who are 35+ years old. Gross. Not the guesthouse fault — just be mindful about that.

EEllaMae98We had an amazing 5-night stay and I can’t recommend it enough. The hotel is newly renovated and absolutely spotless throughout. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always happy to assist with anything we needed. The location was fantastic. We were within walking distance of many major tourist attractions and barely needed to use public transport. There are also many shops right outside including 7/11 and Starbucks. While the room was compact, it had everything we needed and felt very cosy for the two of us. It was perfect for a city trip like ours. Great value for money, especially considering the prime location, quality of the facilities, and level of service. The Wi-Fi was extremely fast, which made working remotely a breeze. We also really appreciated the shared kitchen area, it was clean, well-stocked with snacks, and had washing machines available for guests to use. We also opted for the late checkout, which was just 10,000 KRW per hour (up to 2 hours), allowing us to. check out at 1pm. Overall, I 100% recommend and will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Seoul.

EECYLActual room layout is same as per advertised in the pictures, roomy and clean. There is ample walking space even if you need to open 4 big luggages at the same time. There is also a proper dining table to bring up food from streets stalls to eat. There is a coffee machine and microwave at common pantry area, including a weighing scale and dispenser machine selling toiletries. Bed is super comfortable and the room comes with proper vanity table, lighting in room is suitable for doing make-up as well. Toilet is big with bathtub, comes with shampoo, bath gel, conditional and handwash that smells good. Location wise is extremely good as it is near to metro exit 6 and 7 with olive young and m playground nearby. Street stalls are along the streets as well and the streets selling fried chicken is a short walk away. Airport shuttl bus is located at sejong hotel near exit 8, which is about 3-5mins walk from Hotel myeongdongjang. Overall a hotel that meets way above my expectation but at a wallet-friendly price smacked within myeongdong. Kudos to the friendly staffs as well, and the general manager George whom is very service-oriented and friendly and speak well English. Will definately choose this hotel as the first choice again for future Seoul trip.

GGuest UserHotel is above and beyond expectation. Staff are friendly, helpful and have a very good english. Buffet is excellent with a mix of continental and Korean breakfast all done fresh by the chef. It’s nice to have a lounge and garden to relax after a long day of see-sighting. Location is great too, walking distance from the subway, palaces and Hanok villages. So many food options around. They have an hanok at the entrance that you can ask to try on :) I would 100% come back and recommend this hotel. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

GGuest UserThis was a last-minute stay and what a great find! If spending thousands on an actual train journey isn’t in your budget, this “Orient Express” themed hotel is a fantastic alternative, beautifully executed and a lot of fun. The attention to detail really stood out: two vintage-style suitcases that opened to reveal amenities and even a themed newspaper explaining the concept. We didn’t use the spa, but it looked lovely. The hotel is located in a more local, non-touristy area of Seoul which gave us a different and authentic feel for the city. It’s about a 10-minute walk to Dangsan Station and from there just two stops to Hongdae. There were plenty of dining options nearby and the river was only about a 15-minute walk away. This was my first time staying at a self check-in hotel. We had issue at check-in but a quick phone call solved everything. The staff were helpful and guided us through the process. The same happened when our card didn’t work on the main door: I called, gave my room number and they unlocked it remotely. The only downside was the lack of a proper luggage storage area. They did allow us to leave our bags after check-out (we were quite insistent, thank you so much), though it was at our own risk. Still, I felt comfortable leaving them there thanks to card-only access, security cameras, and the overall sense of safety in South Korea. 100% recommend.

JJ NoEnjoy staying here. It's very clean and organized. And I really like that. It's a self-check-in. It's also easy to do laundry because it's free and it's very conveniently located in Gwanakgu. My only issue is that it's very hands off so it's hard to get in touch with somebody if you have an issue. So as long as you don't have any issues you're fine, but if you need something you might be in a little bit of trouble to get in contact with somebody. I had a few different things happen like I could not log into Netflix and the laundry machine door wouldn't open. And both times I contacted the customer service but I wasn't able to get help in a timely manner. However, this is not really a big deal for me because I don't have any serious issues that I ran into. So my stay was really enjoyable and I would definitely stay here again long term. It's very affordable. The lighting in the room is good as well. However, I think it needs a lamp. And the bed is a little hard but not too uncomfortable. And the windows are very small and the view is not the best but it still works. So if you're looking for an affordable place to stay, this is a good choice.

GGuest UserFirst of all, the service was really good! All receptionists were so nice and helpful, a thousand thanks to them! The second: I'm grateful for the possibility to move to the other room because the first night I spent sleeping fully clothed under the blanket with my head as it was very cold on the lower bed in spite of the air conditioning were working and showed 30 degrees 🤷 The girl who was sleeping on the upper bed in the same room, said that it was very hot to sleep! The second room was much warmer than the first one. But maybe it will not happen to you as it's winter in Korea now, and it's really cold outside. But also I liked that light built-in the beds were working in the second room in comparison with the first one. The third: I used the community kitchen, but there is no available utilities like cups, spoons, forks, etc. There's only a vending machine, where I bought a set of a spoon and chopsticks + microwave to heat food and 3 plastic plates. The only plus was the guy who was so sweet he has brought me a cup from upstairs (as it was difficult for me to go between floors). I also liked there's hot and cold water always available on the ground floor and at the basement. I would like to go to sauna, but it works only from 4pm to 10 pm, and maybe I will be able to do it next time. In general, I'm satisfied with my stay and will come back as location and helping people (and price!) are great pluses among all variants I considered before choosing.

GGuest UserThe worst client service. I had to call them multiple times in order to get the check in instructions (and for the record I didn’t get them until way past my checkin hour since I was getting to the room the next day early in the morning) I got there and not only they gave me a hard time getting the instructions but they also provided me with a wrong room password. I called them and they hung up on me, I almost lose my tour because of this misunderstanding. The incorrect information was already a big problem but their lack of professionalism was the worst. Such a pity since the place is well located, but I would not come back.

AAnonymous UserThe hotel is, of course, very cheap, which is a plus, close to the metro and cafes But when I entered the room, I was stunned, very, very uncomfortable, renovation with different pieces of wallpaper.. The worst thing was that there were short black hairs everywhere, it was disgusting to touch things. But the owner herself is a kind woman, she allowed me to leave things before check-in, allowed an early check-in and leave more things after check-out. For her - a three, the rest is no no.

VVayneOverall service was okay, check-in and out was easy, staff was polite. Ground floor has a food bar but with the basics including bread and jam, water and microwave, it was not bad. Coming back during a late night might may not give a good impression as the light are either dimmed or switched off, staff will not be there 24hrs, which did not feel safe. For the room, the space was surprisingly small and tight, i stayed for 2 nights with my other frd, we did not have the space to open up the luggage on the floor, so it was quite inconvenient. What makes it worse is the only long table was occupied with 2 old desktops, which are dusty and dirty. Luckily the tv is a smart tv and working okay. The size of the bed was enough for 2 of us, but some uncleanable patterns were spotted on the bed sheet, which made it uncomfortable to sleep in. Toilet has a huge sink but the faucet was installed to the very right corner of the sink, which is a very stupid and inconvenient desgin. Tooth brush/paste are missing, so we had to buy from convenient store. Soap was a small and cheap one, and basic shampoo, body wash and conditioner are there for use. Stable warm water for shower but a curtain could be installed to cover up the splashing of the water to everywhere. What surprised me is the floor is heated, so you wont be having cold feet during this cold weather in Seoul, it could be cleaner. What makes it strange is theres a big piece of mirror on the ceiling above the bed, not sure whats the use of it, but i guess its okay. Overall, the experience was not bad but not good either.

LLemonade_The Location was really nice, 5 min walk to the subway station and there were lots of food in and around the area. The only thing about the location is that walking at night it’s kinda sketchy, but generally alright if you don’t linger. Service was great for the price. When I checked out, the person manning the service department that day helped me carry my luggage down and also gave me a free drink. They gave me an extra blanket when I asked for it and were generally really nice and helpful. They have free wifi, free water and free paper cups and coffee bags. They also have free drinks in the fridge as well, though I didn’t drink any. They have a hair dryer in the room, a water boiler, shampoo and soap as well as face cream and vanity mirror for the room I stayed in. Generally pretty good. The only complaint would be that they don’t have an elevator, which I didn’t mind because I only had a hand carry and a back pack, but for those that are coming with heavier luggage, you will need to lug it up the stairs. Not exactly the cleanest of places, but it was clean enough. The furnitures aren’t new but they are clean and usable. The floor is clean. The bathroom however does have stains and isn’t exactly pleasant but for the price you pay, decent and usable. Generally speaking, a great place to stay for the price. Not the best quality, but over my expectations and definitely alright if you’re just looking for a place to clean up and sleep. I’d definitely book it again for a short get away.
