If your a westerner, be prepared for a bit of a culture shock if you haven't lived in similar style lodging before. Fortunately, I knew what I was getting into and was prepared for it. In terms of cleanliness, staffing and amenities, I cannot find any fault with them. The only thing I didn't like was the hot water system either too hot or too cold. There was never an inbetween. I loved the experience. Thank you Ari House..I'll be back when I return

Excellent location to stay
My stay was awesome! Being a 1st timer to Korea, location is very important to me. ARI house is located just across the famous day shopping and night market. There’s direct bus to/from airport and to N Seoul Tower just outside the main road, many buses and subway option to attractions. A lot of good reviews restaurant around. The room is clean but small and no lift so be prepared and also a slight slope walk to reach the place but it was okay for us. Toilet has a slight smell due to ventilation but very clean. The owner / staff are warm and friendly and even granted us to check in early since our flight arrive at 7am (subjected to availability) Free flow cup noodles, drinks, bread and snacks provided. No daily room cleaning service but they provide change of towel every day (btw, it’s a culture to use small towel instead of bath towel in Korea) Bed is Korean ondol style and the floor will be heated up at night. We didnt turn on aircon or radiator but just left the window open. The cool air was good with the nicely heated floor. It has a homely feel yet a lot of privacy. We will definitely stay here if we return again.

Very nice location, 5 mins walk from train station and shopping district, with convenience stores nearby. Staffs are very friendly, room is a little small, but very clean and quiet. The hotel provides free snack, cup noodles, cookies / bread, and drinks, as long as they last. I have a very pleasant experience staying in the hotel. I am sure that I will be visiting it again next time when I come to Seoul for Twice concert again!

Extremely nice staff - very caring and family like :) In Expedia it showed "breakfast" included, but the breakfast really was just 2 kinds of bread and 1 kind of (self made) marmalade 2 kinds of cereals. Different very good self made teas, water, and non-vegetarian cup noodles are always available. I was a bit disappointed by the "breakfast" but can understand that they don't want to provide more choices as the guesthouse is rather small. Rooms are very small and shower and toilet are in the same space without separation. The guesthouse is easily reachable from the airport by taking bus 6017 directly to myongdong (last station) costing 17000 KWR/person.

良かった点 ・到着が遅くなる場合の事前連絡が丁寧 ・隣ブロックにダイソー、スタバ、emartがあり、空港リムジンも迷いようがないほど近い ・オンドルが温かい ・軽食サービスがあり、遅い到着でもカップラーメンが食べられてありがたかった 気になった点 ・到着したら部屋の鍵が開いていた ・シャワーは韓国方式なので、慣れや割り切らないと使い勝手が良くない ・シャワーの温度調整が難しい 1人の滞在ならまた利用したいです。ありがとうございました。

地下鉄の駅、明洞のメインストリートに近い好立地。買い物にも食事にも大変便利。施設の方の日本語対応に安心感。オンドルは思っていた以上に暖かくて、逆にエアコンをつける程。「シャワーを使用後、トイレがびしょびしょ」には慣れなかった。エレベーターが無く、スーツケースで３階はキツかった。(施設の方が対応)３人部屋にしては狭く、スーツケースの開閉が困難。
