The only good thing about this place is its location near bus stops and in the centre of Dongdaemun. But everything else is pretty bad. The room is tiny with no closets to hang clothes, and if you have suitcases, there's hardly any room to move around. The shower situation is weird because there's just a hose and you have to shower in the same space as the toilet, so everything (including your towels) gets wet. The bed is really hard and you can literally feel the springs poking you. Plus, they don't change the bed sheets at all even if you're staying for more than a week. You also have to get new towels yourself from the 3rd floor if you want fresh ones. The person at the front desk wasn't very friendly, maybe because they couldn't speak English well? On top of everything else, it's way too noisy. You can hear the guests next door talking, all the honking of cars, and even the sirens of police cars and ambulances outside. Overall, it wasn't a good experience, but we were so tired from our travels that we managed to sleep anyway.

Disliked: Staff & service
Location was great; DDP History and Culture Park station was a few minutes away, and airport bus was a few minutes walk as well. Service was quite disappointing. Staff were unfriendly and curt, and I saw housekeepers sitting along the corridors of the rooms (ie right outside my room) when I left my room in the late afternoon. It did not look professional at all.

It’s good about the position of guesthouse because guesthouse is near dongdaemun history&culture park station walk about 4-5min. And it’s not good if you choose the room that not have a window because the weather is not flow.

They have got the kitchen and elevator. Room super clean. Near airport bus 6001 and metro lines (orange, blue, and green). One bad thing is the wall do not thick enough, you can hear the traffics even from floor.7 and also your next room chit-chat. Will come back to this place :)

It's located at Exit 4 of Dongdaemun Stadium & Culture Park, you may find a very difficulties when you carrying heavy luggage as there is NO escalator at subway for Exit 4, I wouldn't suggest for old-aged travelers. The only advantage is, Dongdaemun Culture Park Station is the intersection of 3 subway lines.The water in shower room can split over the bedroom, and the hotel only provide housekeeping once in every 3 days. Hotel cleanliness and housekeeping have to be improved. It provides simply breakfast (bread, instant noodles, milks, juices) and it's same everyday where you need to clean the dishes after using it. Most of the receptionist can speak English. Basically this is a very budget hotel, unless you have a cheapest deal, it may worth to go for it.

You get what you pay
1. The bed sheet contained stains and unknown body hairs. The staff gave excuses (the stains cannot be washed) and did not want to change the bed sheet when I told her. She eventually agreed to change it after I pursued her for a while. 2. I smelled the smoke from the toilet vent every night during my stay. 3. I heard the sound of scratching on wall and the pumping sound of the water supply. 4. The decoration is relatively modern 5. The water supply is strong (strong enough to let someone else hearing it as Point 3) 6. You shall bring your gf/bf here if you want a break up

Convenient location, nice staff
The only two concerns I had were 1) there's no way to switch the AC from heater mode to cold air mode after 6pm since it's still considered winter in March; 2) I wish a water boiler in the room (there's water dispenser on each floor though)

The room I booked doesn't have any windows and they didn't state that during winter season they will be switching from air conditioning to heater, because they stated from the website that there will be air conditioning. The room was so humid, stuffy and there wasn't any ventilation and for 2 nights I was perspiring so badly that the bed was damped. The service at the receptions wasnt good either. They didn't wanna have any issues so that they refunded me and at the last min I have issues finding place to stay and I spent Long hours finding the place which caused me to have lesser time for my vacation.

Good location but poor partition between the rooms
Pro : good location as it is just 3mins walk to the metro station. Con: 1) the bedsheet not clean enough & there was some dark mark on it, I guess it was not change. 2) the partition wall is too thin and you can heard the noise from the next room (while they are talking, plug in the charger, switch on TV & hair dryer too).

Good value for money for the location
Overall it's clean and the location is great! However when we were there, the internet wasn't really working most of the time. The walls are very thin to the point where you can hear people's conversations next door. If you plan on going out or for shopping until early hours of the day, you won't be able to sleep without eye masks as the curtains don't keep the room dark at all! We were really bothered by the fact that sleeping in during the day was a problem given the curtains and thin walls, but if you are an ordinary tourist that sleeps at nights, wants somewhere clean, cheap and centrally located, then you can give this a try.

I was in a single room with no window, small but adequate for one without a large suitcase. Breakfast simple but cooking facilities available. Staff were helpful and friendly. Location is within 5 minutes from metro#4 exit, extensive staircase no elevator. Quiet neighborhood in compare to Myeongdong area.
