This is a great place to stay and visit Seoul on a budget. I was by myself so got the smallest room, but it is definitely enough for one person to have a place to sleep and shower. Location is great, near a lot of metro stations and you can reach a lot of touristic areas on foot too if you’re fine to walk. Loved staying so close to the Gwangjang Market, went there many times for food!

Not a problem exactly, but as other reviews said, they only provide small towels so it can be a bit tricky to dry yourself after a shower. I brought my own quick drying bath towel for that purpose.

The property is only 4 mins walk away from the train station and very close to other provinces by train. The owner was very nice and helped me with my luggage. It was on the cheaper side, some hostels were more expensive. Had a washer, no dryer Has a hair dryer Has a microwave in the hallway, fridge, and electric stove top

Location was hard to find off of Apple Maps or google maps. Stairs and stairs! lol got a workout every morning and evening, huffing and puffing. Mind you I work out lol Bathroom could use a deep clean especially toilet base Could have had an extra blanket and pillow provided Towels are not regular bath size towel, hand towels provided only. Thankfully I brought my own towel

All the facilities that I need for as a solo traveler was prepared well. Location is right on one side of Kwangjang Market which easily leads you to several spots in Seoul. The host also being kind and helpful to help me carrying my luggage to the 5th floor as there is no lift in the building.

Because of the strategic area which is right beside cheongyecheon streams, there maybe vehicle noises or road construction that you are experiencing in the room. It is still manageable, however for a light sleeper you may want to prep earplugs such as myself.

I always stay here when I come to Seoul and I totally recommend it! My little studio had all the facilities one could need: a/c, electric kettle, hairdryer, mini-fridge, ensuite bathroom, even a washing machine with washing detergent and a hot plate! The room also had a table with 2 chairs and there was enough space to put a suitcase and still move around comfortably. The location is great because it's near 2 subway stations, so you can easily reach the city centre or the airport. Cheonggye Stream and Gwangjang Market are closeby too.

The bed mattress is hard. REALLY HARD.

The location of the hotel is very close to the subway station, and it’s very convenient to change different subway lines. There are also 7-11 and other markets nearby. It is quiet at night. The basic room I booked this time includes a washing machine which is very considerate. The owner of the hotel responded to messages quickly and kindly. The owner also helped me keep some of my luggage when I went to other cities in the next few days. It was a great accommodation and highly recommended.

Nothing to complain, but since the hotel doesn’t have an elevator, travelers with large luggage should consider it.

I liked that the room was bigger than I expected. It was also fully kitted with a washer/dryer combo which I didn't expect (nor needed but it was a nice bonus). It was very comfortable! Also a lot of heating options during the snowy weather, and the water was hot enough which was very appreciated.

The room I received had malfunctioning blinds, but nothing a little switch in sleeping positions wouldn't fix. Also all the rooms are only accessible via stairs, so take this into consideration if you have mobility issues.

This is the typical, small, and private Korean officetel style room, and a very clean one at that. The host was friendly, spoke English, and gave a very thorough explanation of the accommodation. The aircon worked well, the room and bathroom were more spacious than most officetels I've stayed in. Although I didn't need them, I was impressed there was a private washing machine, drying rack, fridge, TV, kitchen sink, stove, and dishes because that's more than you usually get in an officetel. The place is directly next to Dongdaemun shopping and street food stalls, so there is plenty to see and eat. I would happily stay again.

The only downside was what I already expected based on the reviews. As others have said, there is no elevator, so I came prepared with minimal luggage. I stayed on the 5th floor, and that is not the highest, so just be prepared. Additionally, the stairwell has quite low ceilings, so you must watch your head.

The room was as described on the site. I have spent 3 weeks here, had no issue with security or the room itself. Of course you need to take into account that this is a low budget hotel/hostel but I barely was in the room so it was perfect for my holiday life style. The room is old style with old and not high end furniture but I was able to sleep comfortably (the bed smelled okay, good linen and such were provided), store my food and drink in the fridge, take showers and even wash my clothes without leaving the room. The air conditioner was a bless on these hot summer days in the monsoon season humidity. There was a microwave to warm up food on every floor and also a scale to measure my luggage before getting a heart-attack on the airport. Please consider coming here to support the hard working owner who is friendly and helpful! He even helped with my heavy luggage a lot! You don't have to worry about the difficult trash sorting system, he does it for you. Not to mention the location is perfect for tourists, lot of things nearby to visit on foot or you can take two major subway lines too. It's a win.

The toilet seat was wobbly and I wish the bathroom was distributed a bit differently (hence why I think the toilet was more in a used condition than other parts) but it was completely manageable. The room I stayed in doesn't have much natural light (not a major downside, just consider when booking). I wish there was more space to hang clothes instead of the folding cupboard because I have more of those style of clothes, but hey, it's also not that big of a deal if your clothes are wrinkled on a holiday, right? :)

Location excellent. On the same block as Gwangjang Market which was an excellent place to buy lunch and dinners. Two metro lines within metres. Two outstanding bakeries on the same street. The room came with a fridge and kettle and access to the microwave right outside the door. Also had its own self contained air-conditioning.

The room is tiny, that was to be expected but the bathroom was even tinier and had a bit of mould. However the flyscreen is not completely connected so beware if you leave the windows open that a horde of mosquitoes enter.

Located nearly to some of the must-visit establishments and tourist spots, this modest accommodation served as my dwelling place in Seoul for a week. As a person who loves walking, location is one of my top considerations in choosing a place to stay, and Cheonggye Haus has it. Not only that it is walking distant to some of the major attractions, but also, strategically placed to some of the bus stops and subway stations should you need to commute. Cheonggye Haus has nothing fancy, so expect a humble space (quite a small space, but decent and enough, which I really like). In addition, it has the essentials you need to have a comfortable stay. The vibe of my room hits home to me. As you stay longer, you will realize this place is all you need in your Seoul trip.

Nothing, actually. Relatively, I experienced what I paid for. 👌
