Namsan Forest in Myeongdong

The heated toilet seat is broken. The kitchen wares is horrible. There isn't enough towel and it's very small. The place is super run down. Place felt dirty and run down.

There is no one to check you in at this property. There will either be a piece of paper on a desk with your name, room number, and the lock passcode for said room (!!!), or you will have to contact the management through an iPad on the wall of the "Front Desk". Both of these methods present an extreme security risk, as there is no lock on the entrance, meaning anyone can enter, look at the message history on the iPad and see any guest's room number and passcode. On a related note, contacting the management can be extremely difficult as they do not seem to be consistently monitoring these messages. This was evidenced by a number of guests having left questions in the messages, only to be answered hours later, or not at all. As for the room quality, you're bound to find somewhere nicer for the same or less money. The "mattress" was essentially a box spring. Overall cleanliness was average at best. The shower and the toilet are in the same room, which is fine in and of itself, as I am told this is common in South Korea. However there is zero separation, meaning that the toilet paper is liable to get wet... Cannot recommend this property on the grounds of the insecure check-in alone, and it has no other redeeming features. Even if you just need a place to crash, you'll no doubt be able to find a nicer place in the same area for less money.

Since the hostel was overbooked, I had to move to another room during my stay, this is really annoying. The bathroom is awful, after you shower, everywhere in the bathroom is wet and there is nowhere to leave your clothes at.

Location and water supply is good. No bath towel provided only face towel.

Walking distance to Myeongdong shopping area, quite place to rest after a long hour outside. There a 24 hrs convenient store downstairs and along the way there a few cafe and restaurants. This is a guest house and don’t expect daily housekeeping, they only change daily towel and refill amenities. The floor was heated during winter in my family studio which come with a washing machine. There a day where water heater was spoiled and they offer us to wash up in another empty room while the rectified the problem immediately. Overall stay was pleasant, except that the bed is abit hard.

Great location, walking distance to Namsan Tour & Myeongdong Street. I stayed 4 nights, never a single day the room was cleaned even upo request.
