This was a great place to stay. It was very accessible to everything, close to public transport and the airport limousine. The room had everything we needed and the staff were quick to respond to questions and requests

Biwon Guest House
Great location, close to lots of shops, restaurants, etc but still quiet enough at night. The room itself was a bit run down, but clean. The mattress was very thin, so may not be suitable for westerners who like a soft mattress.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Super convenient location. The bathroom didn't have a shower curtain which was a little weird, but we kept the fan running so we never smelled any pipe smell. They provided a lot of towels so even though it was only hand towels (all the hotels we stayed at did this) it was never a problem. They had a water cooler out side so very convenient for staying hydrated.
It's a guesthouse. But its super convenient location, airport shuttle 120m from the building, super friendly and nice staff. Affordable and good for cheap travelling. I would stay again.
The hostel is basic and has the necessary amenities.
It is good for a short stay. The rooms are smaller in size.
For the location and price, it is a good stay.
I would say though that it will be helpful to co-ordinate with 7 eleven staff so that they know of the location. It'll be helpful for tourists.
We booked a room for 2. It was really spacious. I especially loved it bec of its proximity to a convenience store, Anguk subway station, Changdeokgung palace and museums. The place was clean, and quiet.
Would really want to gatekeep this but I think people must know how great of a stay this place is.
Pros:
- Hospitality is top notch I have no words.๐
- I felt safe staying there.
- Quiet neighborhood.
- Strong water pressure.
Can still be improved:
- Cleanliness
- Facility is quite dated. Maybe a small renovation would be nice.
- Mosquitoes
This place is a gem! Seriously, I had a private room and bathroom and it was exactly what I needed. There was a bathtub which was great for soaking after the freezing rain! Changdeokgung Palace is a block away and Gyeongbokgung Palace is an easy walk as is Bukchon Hanok Village. Close to transportation and wonderful dining options in Insadong. I am so glad that I stayed here! I was traveling alone and lost my wallet and the owners were so kind and helpful! There is a 7eleven steps away that takes ApplePay in case you need it, like I did!! The guesthouse allowed me to store luggage after checkout for no cost. It really is an excellent find!
Very outstanding staff, although I booked and couldnt show up they refused any kind of payment and were incredibly kind to me. This is the kind of people we need running the world. I cant wait until I can meet them in person.
One of the most extraordinary places to stat in Seoul! Nice location, friendly staff, and a vert comfortable stay! Would love to visit again.

Does the cat count as staff? Was very happy to see the kitty there.
The hostel was terrific, and a great value too! The hostess were very pleasant and friendly; although to be fair, I need to learn more Korean.
The location to 7-11, local eateries (non-chain) and tourist/historical sites were a very nice bonus. Location from a bus stop, and train were easy walking distance.
Although I traveled during a hot (to me) period -- it's summer after all, the air conditioner helped out a lot, which cooled the room pretty quick. Plenty of room in the dresser for unloading my flight bag.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay of which I would like to see again, perhaps in the winter to see how it is.
