Elm Tree Guesthouse Myeongdong

great location. room was very basic but surprising how much they were able to fit in with the shower, bathroom, desk, fridge, and tv. staff was very helpful and easy access to the market, subway, and city sites

my room had a stuffy smell once you entered but the fan fixed this. Make sure when you get off the airport bus to find the steps and walk under the street- right across the way

The location.

Much smaller than in the pictures. Toilet shower extremely small.

All rooms of the first floor and did not have to climb stairs, is very convenient

poor meal

The Bed in my room is somewhat short. I am 175cm tall, and the bed seems just 175cm tall. I should bend my knees to sleep in that bed.

Good location, helpful and friendly staff. Shared products you can use (shampoo, moisturizing cream among others). They provide coffee and bread/jam for breakfast.

Rooms not sound proof, you can hear everything from the corridors and neighboring rooms. Minimum confort which corresponds to the cheap price.

The guest house room even not very big but at least enough for someone like me travel alone. The room was tidy and so lot of useful facility inside, such as little table, TV, stuff shelf, wardoard, central heat/ conditioner. The bath room small too, but alway have hot shower to use. I come to seoul for travel, and this house just at the center of the city, 15min walk to city hall and Gwanghwamun, 30 min walk to Nam Shan Park (N-seoul tower). And I just spend few time in the guest house, only sleep and stay little bit while at the moring to planing trip, So I think size of the room is not the matter, especially I only spent not much money in there.

No

The friendliness of the staff and the location

Great price and location

You told me that there are breakfast, rice and kimchi. Actually only bread and jam.

Closed to shopping center good location easy to find

Room very small

The location is very good, convenient for shopping !

But the room is a little small

Thanks to the helpful staff who arranged the skiing trip for me. It was a memorable experience. There is also a washing machine and hanging clothes. It is just 5 minutes walking distance to the subway station of Hoehyuen. Shopping and food are easy because Namdaemun is just right opposite.

The english language speaking staff were very helpful, informative and cheerful. The guesthouse gave lots of amneties free of charge like the use of washing machine,providing free detergent, bread & jam, kimchi, noodles (FOC) and no restriction of how many helpings. Toilet rolls take as many as you need. Big bottles of shower gel, shampoo & conditioner is there at the common bathrooms. The room have whatever you need to make you comfortable. No complaints only praises.

Nice guesthouse in the center of the city. Really friendly English spoken staff. Great common space (kitchen) to meet people. Free laundry.

Really tiny bedroom and too warm during the night, no windows. In fact, all the rooms are tiny. Very basic breakfast.

Good location: just few minutes from City Hall station (line 2) and Hoeyen line 4, and about 10-15 mns walk from Seoul station...

The rooms are too small (small bed, small private bathroom).

Location was great and the guys who run the place couldn't have been nicer and spoke excellent English. And so cheap !!

Small rooms

Good location and staffs are friendly. If you're up for making new friends then this is exactly the right place for you . You'll never know who you're gonna meet :)

Rooms are quite small and the alley to the guesthouse is very dodgy

The price and location are right. Quite, dark room with a fairy comfy mattress.

upper bunk mattress was vinyl-covered and made a loud squeaky noise when my daughter would roll over. The bathroom was a bit grubby, but suited the purpose.

The Fridge, it's the most suprising item to me! Overview this trip, the location is the best, it's very near Myeongdong. Also there are many choices, by Bus or MTR, may be only 2-5minutes, for walk. The house-owner, the two brothers, are very nice and helpful, although I kept on asking some "silly" questions, sorry~ I think I'll book here if come back, this warm and nice place!

The room is quite small. Just this one, it's small, small, small.

Great location and Budget choice If you are on a tight budget and don't mind not having luxury this is a good choice. You won't find better at this price range in such a good location, just know what to expect.

nothing

Location and easy check-in was great.

Breakfast

Easy to reach shopping centers.

No one deal with u. Twin bed but up and lower.

location +price

all equipment is very old, no air condition

Absolutely terrific staff and personel! I will definitely stay here again if I travel to South Korea in the future. The price is really good, and the location is one of the best, located in Downtown Seoul. It's a 5-10 minutes walk to Seoul City Hall which is close to many attractions, (For instance Gyongbokgung Palace) Great place!

The only place I feel good is the location. This hotel is very close to Seoul station.

The room is too tiny.

The location is extremely convenient. It is located right in the center of downtown Seoul, opposite the Namdaemun market, and a short walk to Myeongdong. The airport shuttle bus (called Airport Limousine in Korea) stops very close to Elm Tree Guesthouse, and services both Incheon and Gimpo airports. The subway station is a little bit further but still within easy walking distance. Overall, if you spend very little time in your accommodation and all you need is a hot shower and a cheap place to crash at the end of the day, this place is perfectly adequate.

The single room is extremely small, and is on the inside of the building so there are no windows except a small ventilation hatch high up. The bed occupies about half the room, so if you are over 1.8m tall you will not fit in the bed. The room was rather warm at night - the building is air-conditioned, but there is a single unit that cools the whole floor. There are also only 2 bathrooms for the whole floor. Each bathroom is a combination shower/toilet, so if you need to go urgently you may be in trouble during peak hour.
