I had the worst experience ever with J Story Guest House. Everything, I mean everything, was bad! I booked single room for 1 night. When I arrived I got the key, but it was not use for them because my room door was broken and couldn't be locked! So I couldn't leave any of my things there! Bed linen and towels were dirty and black hair were all over the place! Toilet was also broken, there was no water, so it didn't flash. Could you be able to stay there? I was not, so I leaved immediately after I discovered all this staff. And I was charged for my stay!
Room ok but good value for the money. Room was clean and staff v/friendly & helpful. Also just around corner (10-minute walk) from main train/tube station. NB: Don't take any creams or toothpaste from room when you check out. I took a small half tub of moisturiser thinking the previous occupant had left it only to find same same cream in next hotel.
The room was just enough for us and a bit more with the Wi-Fi, frig and private bathroom. The staff was very accommodating by allowing my other daughter a mat and pillows. The beds looked a lot more comfortable than they were, however. Felt like sleeping on bricks. I don't know if we were supposed to ask for cleanup because our rooms were never tidied up.
The room we stayed in had 2 bunk beds but the mattresses were like boards of wood with a thin layer of foam. The room was clean but there were tiny cockroaches crawling from the cracks in the ceiling.
The toilet lid and seat in the bathroom were completely broken off which made it really hard to go to the toilet. Also there was a big whad of hair in the drain that wasn't ours. The shower and sink tap are connected to the same mixer, so if you forget that the shower is turned on, you will end up with a shower when you just go to wash your hands- a bit of a surprise and a bit annoying to end up soaked with water just washing your hands.
The door to the room kept getting stuck when it rained so we were locked inside the room a few times.
The breakfast was fine although we were only offered eggs on the first morning and never again, but there was cereal and toast and juice.
The manager and the lady who lived on the premises were very friendly and ensured we had a very smooth check in, despite arriving late at night.
The location is really great for transport as you are within easy walking distance of Seoul station with lines 1&4 plus the airport line, and there is also another station just up the road which services lines 3&5. The area close to the hostel has a lot of restaurants although they don't fit into the budget category of the hostel, so maybe you'd be better off eating dinner in another part of Seoul.
We did enjoy our time in Seoul despite our difficulties with the room.
