    Quadruple Room with Private Bathroom
    Stayed 1 night in April 2026

    “Very good, I'm impressed.”

    Good location, lovely owner, clean, fully equipped facilities, close to tourist attractions, but the room is not very soundproof, and the bathroom does not have a separate wet and dry area.

    “Best) Separate bathroom. Breakfast. Subway.”

    I went on a trip to Seoul with my senior sister. The bathroom was separate, so it was comfortable without having to worry about other people. There were toast, milk, and eggs available, so I had a good breakfast before continuing my trip. It was only a 7-8 minute walk from the subway station, making it very accessible. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were provided, and I could freely use towels and toothpaste, which was great. The room was warm as well. I plan to stay here again next time. I had a comfortable stay.

    Double Room with Private Bathroom
    Stayed 1 night in January 2026

    “Good cost-effectiveness and cleanliness.”

    The location and price are good, and bedding and towels are well supplied. The twin room has both single and double beds, so the extra space is small. The bathroom and floor are clean, which is satisfying. Soundproofing is not great, but it seems everyone is careful at late hours. There is no hanger, so I have to put my clothes on the floor, which is inconvenient. Please install just three hangers so I can hang my clothes.

    “Feels like home”

    Such a wonderful stay! We booked this room for 3 people and it was incredibly comfortable, cozy, and felt just like home. The atmosphere was warm, the room was clean, and everything was perfect for our trip. The check-in and check-out process was super smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommended, and we would definitely stay here again!

    “Able Guest House”

    It's reasonable for the price for a one-night stay. The advantage is that breakfast is available in the morning, so you can cook toast, and the curtains create a separated personal space! There are also lockers, although they are small. The bedding is hygienic. I slept well~ The downside is that when I first tried to find it, I entered the wrong building and was really flustered because the provided password didn't work. It was late at night, so it was stressful. I met the owner while wandering around, otherwise, I might have gone somewhere else. The navigation indicated the correct place, but it seems you need to go about 20 meters further. There are apparently about three buildings for the guesthouse. Be sure to know this to avoid getting lost. Also, there are many foreigners who talk in the common room until midnight, so it might be tough for those who are sensitive to noise. I wish there was more space to put things in the shower room. Still, the owner is kind, and it's okay for those who just want a place to sleep.
