Very near the Seoul Metro. Very good of the room. 1) Room size is big. 2) Beds are big. 3) Light is bright. 4) Water is hot (good for shower). 5) Floor heater is warm. 6) Room is clean. 7) Accessories for the room is sufficient (such as towels, pillows, bedsheet, tissue rolls) Richard (Management person) is very helpful and nice. Really recommend to other travellers.

The location is perfect! Will give this accommodation a perfect score - for service , for accessibility, for comfort. I like my stay here because everything I need is here or within my reach. There's coffee shop and restaurants everywhere, its near 2 bus stops and 2 train stations. Its near Seoul Forest and SM Entertainment (if you're a kpop fan this is a big deal). Everything you need is just around the corner. My room is comfortable, well lighted, with heated flooring and my bathroom is big for one person. Complete toiletries and extra towels are always available. I like the vibe of roof top where you can just chill and people watch. The host, Richard, is one of the nicest person I met. He calls you by your name (it means he remembers), he speaks english well and he helped me with my luggage which is the most challenging for a solo traveler like me. I really like this place and will recommend it definentley.

We had an awesome time at the Seoul Forest Stay. The room was clean and cool due to the AC. The location of the hostel is great. There are a bunch of restaurants and cafes as well as a long shopping street and a big park. The metro station is also not far away which makes it easy to get around. The owner gave us a lot of travel tips and was very welcoming! It is possible to do laundry for a small fee and the rooftop is a great bonus. We would stay there again!

The owner of the hostel was very nice and ready to answer all of our questions. He helped us with our luggage and provided directions to the airport. The room was bigger than most in Seoul, the bathroom was great and the room had an entrance area where you can leave your shoes. The location is close to the center and there are 2 subway stations that you can use. We loved the park and how close it is to the river and there were nice restaurants and cafes all around us.

The only thing that I didn't like was that there were no windows in the room. In the morning it's very dark because there is no natural light coming and you have no idea what time it is. It is a minor inconvenience.

I had such an amazing stay! The owner was exceptional and super friendly! We have really enjoyed it :). The area is amazing too, SO MANY cute cafe's, stores, restaurants etc. We only stayed for a couple of days, but could of easily spend a whole week here wandering around. It is also super close to the public transport on the main circle line, which makes it easy to get to other places and if you wanna relax there is a rooftop and it is near the forest park

The guesthouse is pretty close to 2 subway stations, in front of it you have a supermarket and a lot of restaurants. You can easily go to take a walk to the Seoul forest which is beautiful. Richard was very kind and helpful, if you need something he'll help you, he is also very funny ^^. I had a private single room with a private bathroom and it was all very clean.The mattress of the bed was new so it was very comfortable to sleep. For my next trip to Seoul I'll for sure come again :) . All the long way from Italy 🇮🇹 and it was a very comfortable holiday, thank you 😊.

It would be a good idea to put a little closet in the room where you can put your clothes and other stuff, where it is possible obviously.

Richard is a really nice person and taking care of everything and every guest well. He speaks English fluently and elegantly. Also showed me fascinating places around hostel from the roof top. The view from there is excellent. We found a bug in our room so I caught it and put it in a trash box. He apologized to us giving juice.

Shower booths are too close to a wash basin so when someone is using it, the water splashes.

The location was great. There were many places to eat and shop and the Forest Galeria is only a 5-minute walk from the guest house. The room was also hushed and warm which was nice after a long day of travel.

The bed was a little uncomfortable (for me). I woke up with a sore back the next morning, but that could be my firmness preference. My room also had 2 beds, which were almost right next to each other. It made getting in and out of bed comfortably an issue.

Love everything and the homey vibe. The room I stayed in was well thought and spacious. I love the complimentary Yuzu. Also, the neighbourhood with great local food and shopping. Will definitely stay here again if I visit Seoul again.

Common areas can use some deep cleaning from time to time, so the hostel can be kept in excellent condition.

Great location in a lively and hip area, very nice and helpful owner, that brings a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere to the whole place! The room was not too big, but very comfortable. We could easily wash and dry our clothes and the biggest plus for us: we had no problems arriving there with our bicycles! There’s a backyard (openly accessible, but with CCTV) full of rental bikes, where we could also store ours during our stay! Would definitely stay there again!
