The cleanliness was great. I never managed to have breakfast - as I always found everything closed, at the time I had to leave (between 7 and 8 am). Mattress was quite hard. Other guests in the rooms were nice. Luna is a very friendly person and smiley...

Hello, this is Luna from GGh. Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you're not comfortable here. We serve breakfast in the main house, you should have come to the main house to have it. always breakfast is prepared on the table in kitchen(toast, butter, jam, tea&coffee) Early in the morning, seems quiet and closed but still you can have, use whole guest house. Any time! And that mattress is alomst brend new, i think that's why you feel little bit hard. I'm gonna listen to you and take care of my guests more than before. Thank you again for your review.

Thanks for your comments. and sorry to have such a small dorm room. But you should know one thing: we usually accommodate travelers, not shoppers. You guys kept buying 'Too Many Things', as you know, the whole guest house was filled with your stuffs. Some of the other guests complained about that. I had to take care of them. (e.g : your last night, you guys did packing all night, so i had to move one guest to the other place, she couldn't get a sleep at all!) By the way, I hope you had a great time in Seoul!

This hostel is located in great area, close to subway and many stores around there. Luna is very kind and willing to help me. Clean room, breakfast is served. I'm content with it, but the only thing I have to say is there is only one washroom in annex house(I'm not sure about main house). So, I went to main house after all.

This hostel is located in an ideal place for the subway, airport, dining, dancing and it's closer to many of the tourist attractions. The hostel facilities are complete but also humble, which makes the atmosphere very comfortable and cozy.

I highly recommend this hostel!! The location is very convenient to the subway and airport, and the neighborhood is very lively at night. Also Luna the manager is a bright shining light she helped us with some complicated logistics and wrote things in Korean for us so we could be sure to arrive and return safely. Book early as this place fills up!

nice hostel and it feels like a home to me during my stay. Love the outdoor balcony. It will be perfect if decorate nicely with extra chairs and table, so can have an alternative spot to chill with a cup of hot coffee out there during cold weather. :)

we had a great time staying at the grape garden hostel . clean sheets , clean bathroom, good location and the warm hospitality by the staffs Luna and Min , who never ceases to extend their warm to guest and treats all like their old friend . I strongly suggest a stay in this hostel . the available single private and double private is really a match of a hotel stay . Hope you try this hostel too ^_^

Fabulous location. Wonderful staff. Only one bathroom in the separate building for 5 rooms to share, but not too much of a problem.

I really enjoyed my stay at Grape Garden House! The owners are really friendly and the guests are also fun to talk to. Do stay at the place if you are in Seoul!

This was my first time staying in a smaller hostel, but I absolutely LOVED it. I have stayed in hostels before, but none of them have had the same cosy, home-like feeling that Grape Garden House had. Luna & Min were such cool and fun hosts to stay with (thanks to you two again!), and their enthusiasm spread to the guests. I met some -great- friends at GGH, many of which I still have contact with and I'm sure I will meet again. Big plus to character and atmosphere, highly recommended!

Great place to crash. Conveniently located. Always stay here when I'm out in Seoul. Noon checkout is reasonable.
