This Guesthouse is located in a very strategic area, easy to get from airport bus, but its in the third floor, which a bit hard to get when having big luggage to take upstair. The room is clean, bed is nice, but the air condition seems leaked, so that it make a noise during our sleep. Bathroom is clean though. Anyway, would recommend to you who would like to be in central Seoul and getting around to be started from this poin area. Staff is helpful too.

Stayed there before and will come back. It might be a bit small (especially the common room, but there is a rooftop...) but it's a very nice place to be in, and the owners are very nice. It's a nice place to meet people, especially from Taiwan. Not fond of the confirmation process after booking through hostelworld though, even though I had already come I was asked to confirm my booking or it would be cancelled, while I was on the transiberian train (no internet, so didn't receive the email).

In my opinion the best guesthouse in Seoul (I've tried 4) even though it's small. Rooftop and free breakfast are a very good and welcome bonus, the owners are very nice, it's cheap and well placed.

Good and perfectly clean hostel. The best thing: even in the dorm to got some privacy because you can close your "room" with a curtain.
