I visited many guesthouses in Korea,Golden Pond was the best.it took 5mins to get there from the airport bus stop which was nice for me who doesn't like to go a long way with her heavy stuff.I'd give 100% recommend for it.and there is always Michael or Hyunah or Bokyung the staff members trying to help you all the time.the manager is also very nice.it feels like you're at home or with good friends.The door is locked always I felt really safe.I'll visit there agian for sure!

I have to mark them down on security because they did not change the security code of the door and someone entered my room while I was there...and naked! Thank god I was there though, because I kept my valuables there. Also it was quite noisy because the rooms where too close to each other and many tourists do not care about the rest of the people staying there, so I had to tell them off several times.

In my opinion it's not good place for backpackers, more for people looking for fun, it means watch tv together or play some games.You won't get from them too many information about travelling in Korea, Every night there was very noisy, because living room is just outside your room (hostel is small)so don't count on having rest and receptionist-girls didn't care about it. Actually they also like to have fun with guest so do not expect too much But the men in reception is ok

pretty nice little place, very close to subway and a hopping student area but also in a quiet lane off the main road so pretty relaxing..staff helpful and nice and feels more like a home than a hostel, with traditional korean roof, one problem is single room smelt a little musty but with air conditioning it wasn't that big a deal

Each room has number coded locks and the neighborhood felt very safe. The guest house was new and clean. The staff was very nice and helpful.

Thanks for your excellent hospitality. I really enjoyed my stay there. The room was basic but clean. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the place has a nice relaxed atmosphere. Great shower too. The lounge area is also really nice. A good place to chill out and meet people, maybe watch a movie or go on the internet etc. Hyewya subway is just 5 minutes away. Claire
