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. Thank you Ari House..I'll be back when I return ##### Wei Jian Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathaniel May 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The guesthouse was very well maintained and the host was very kind. ##### Nathaniel Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily Jun 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff was beyond lovely and sweet and made our stay extra special.

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.
