Great location. Though it was a very basic room.

Great place to stay with lots of facilities in the room - heater, television, aircon, washing machine, fridge etc. More importantly, it is also spacious. Good for people who wish to stay in a double bed ensuite room.

Really loved our stay at RedFish Guest House! It was located at a really convenient location where it was only a 5 mins walk to Hyehwa train station, and the Airport Bus stopped just across the road from the guest house. Andy was a superb and excellent host; when we asked for directions on taking the bus (we did this not once but thrice!), he went back and forth from the bus stop to the guest house to let us know. Thank you Andy for making our stay in Seoul so wonderful! :)

Location is good, easy access to all kind of public transportation. Near subway station on a line and easy connections to touristic attractions. Many different kinds of catering places dandshoppingistrict with convenient shopping. Staff is very attentive abd helpfull. Good bargain for it's price to stay for several days. But in the room is not a chair and table and it may be inconvenient for longer stay.

Location is not quite easy to find, luckly, Andy - the host is the excellent person, he picked us up at the bus stop. Actually, it is not a hostel, just like a apartment, everything is fine. What I really wanna empharize is Andy , who is the best host I ever meet. We have a good time during staying in your place.

Hostel is very close to subway and bus stop. It's in by Hyehwa station on line 4, close to downtown. The owner Andy is kind and helpful. He is very helpful in providing information. This hostel was clean, very comfortable and quiet place. . It an entire apartment with an ensuite washroom and kitchen, definitely not a hostel. I would definitely stay there again!

This is a great place to stay in Seoul, close to lots of food, shops and the subway, very easy to get everywhere. The room was more like a small apartment, very secure and with good facilities. I'd stay here again. Mr Kim was very helpful and friendly and made everything easy for us. We did find it a little hard to find based on the directions provided, but after asking at another guesthouse they phoned Mr Kim, and he came to meet us.

My parents visited my husband and I so we had to stay in a clean and comfortable place. The man who showed us our rooms had excellent English. The rooms had tourist info about the subway, attractions, and airport transportation; all with maps. If you are coming to Korea for the first time, don't be misled by building appearances. Some of the best places are in the darkest corners and there will always be a friendly Korean willing to help you! Right in the theater district, close to subway stop!

My stay was very enjoyable! Mr. Kim was very nice and extremely helpful. My friends and I really appriciated the good service. Red Fish was also very close to the subway station and many resturaunts. Red Fish Guest House was definately the right choice.

Andy Kim met me at a hostel around the corner from his rented apartments. The instructions to the meeting point were clear and Andy was very thorough in explaining the entry codes to the property and login details to the wifi. The apartment was large, fully furnished, well-presented, clean and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

More like a small apartment rather than a hostel. Strange bathroom layout - not only is the washing machine in there, but the showerhead is literally just in the corner next to it, so the water from it runs all the way across the floor to the drain under the sink on the other side. Andy is very helpful and friendly. When we weren\'t able to pay him as soon as we arrived he trusted us and came back a couple of days later when our money had come through.

Enjoyed my 2 night stay in the hostel and would definitely recommend RedFish Guest House to any of my friends intending to visit Seoul. However, I thought that the following points could be improved: I wished that there was access to towels and charger adaptors especially since many foreigners do not carry one with them. Nevertheless, as an overall experience, it was fantastic!
