They have very accommodating hosts and food are always available. Ammenities were complete. A convenient place to stay, 2 min walk to airport limousine and myeongdong station. 5 min walk to myeongdon walking street. You can have all streetfood and shopping you want!!! ##### Joenard Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Zadjad Apr 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Zadjad Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wei Jian Apr 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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.

Also so quiet. If you want to stay for sleeping, that's so good. Staff can speak English, however they try to understand us.A lady who can speak Japanese well is sometimes there,if you have a lucky.
