Budget stay in the big Seoul
Good value for the location. However, I wish that I have spent a little more staying somewhere else to be more comfortable. We wanted to leave after seeing our first assigned room which was tiny and stank with decomposition probably from the drain. As we explained why we were willing to leave without a full refund, the staff was nice enough to give us a bigger twin room upstairs. The second room was better, but the drain still smelt quite a bit though not as bad. The bathroom was not very clean or comfortable.

Alice Residence - Perfect for what it is!
For what it was, I was very satisfied. The room was tiny(~10ft x 8ft), but my son and I were only there to shower, sleep, and plan. The majority of every day was spent exploring Korea. Front desk spoke sufficient English and were always willing to assist, and helpful. At times, they would disappear for hours at a time, but when back, they were great. AC in the room was sufficient for a cool, comfortable stay. They had "muslim" specific appliances such as microwave and utensils, etc. (with signs indicating "Muslims Only" in the kitchen area), but common area for all other religions. What was up with that?! Takes a little getting used to the fact that you shower directly on the bathroom floor tiles. They did provide rubber slippers to wear while showering, but you shower ~2 feet from the bowl and basically all the bathroom received water splashes from wall to wall. Toilet paper was protected from getting wet by a metal cover. Note that I gave Alice Residence high marks for "what it was". If you are comparing to a Hilton, then yes, 2-to-3 stars average would be more accurate. I am not a complainer, nor overly fussy, nor spoiled, so I rated it accordingly for what it was. They was a small refrigerator, and electric kettle to boil water, but I would just use the hot water dispenser in the lobby (which also served chilled water). Surprisingly, there were dozens of HD TV channels to flip though while in the room. Couple in English channels with subtitles also.

My experience at lavinia guest house
The guest house provides bare minimum required for a hassle free stay, minus any luxuries. However, it is centrally located well connected with nearly Anguk subway station to the city. Plus point is it is just walking distance from the main palaces of Seoul. Reaching at night could be a problem as there is no one to answer the telephone or receive you at night. A key with my name on a sticker guided me to my room and i was thankful for it. It is a busy place since it is light on the pocket.

Clean and safe, but with noisy tourists
I stayed in this guesthouse a couple of times already. It is very clean and safe as a budget hotel, bathroom is always clean which is good. The neighbourhood is also OK with quick walk for 10 mins you will be at the subway. However, in the recent times I notice that the noise levels from Chinese tourists have been very disturbing. The corridors are all with hard surface (nothing to absorb noise e.g. carpet), and when other tourists sometimes pack or talk (or shout) in the corridors (often in the early mornings) it is extremely disturbing. We tried to ask them to lower the voice but it didn't help. I wouldn't mind staying in this guesthouse again and again but not until the noise issue is resolved. I hope the staff/ management can do something about it as I do like this guesthouse much. Thanks.

Okay
Not a big nor luxurious room; yet, having working facilities and clean room. If you don't care about how luxurious or good your room is but when sleeping is your only concern, this can be a good choice. Still, it is quite a far from the subway station.
