    I'm not good at directions so a more visual instruction going to the guesthouse would be helpful. Upon going out of Exit 1, take the right turn (D1) and go up the stairs until you are at the street. Just take the crosswalk and you will find the guesthouse.

    The guesthouse is just across Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station Exit 1.

    Directly in front of bus stop at Dongdaemun History & Culture Center with bus no. 6001 from airport. 20 metres to metro station and many food & beverage and shopping malls around. Hosts speak enough English to settle you in. Room is clean and with all the necessary as a guesthouse so it was comfortable.

    Hamory Guesthouse Location is excellent and room is clean, very good service provided by the helpful and friendly owners All very good except the walk up and wet bathroom after a shower as there’s no shower screen. Manageable though.

    They have no checklist before they hand over a room.1st night wifi wasnt checked to see if it works.They should check these things in front of you which means they go with you to your room to double check..Its such a simple action.Simply requires 2 legs.I solved my issue of the front door being locked and it was raining as well...Still cant belive no intercom or phone number on the front door.There is a coffee shop open next door..Some similar hotels work out a plan of action with the coffee shop.Shows not much thought has gone into many things. Maybe Im wrong but where on the booking.com did it mention they lock the front door around 7pm ? Maybe even earlier..Did it mention the hours of operation that their front desk is manned? Is there a intercom system if the door is locked when you arrive? Is there a telephone number on the door to ring if the door is locked? Once you book, do they send you extra information in relation to the times their reception is open and what to do if it isnt open for business? Seems to me thry want to be modern and have everything as a press pad door code..What happens if there is a malfunction? I had to change rooms and the room door code was the same as the previous room? Hmm, interesting...I suggest they get a copy of the E-Myth by Michael Gerber, in the Korean language.The lady is nice but its suited for the domestic market.Not international.Hamony mentions on booking.com thar rooms are sound proof.False.You can hear people pressing in their door code

    Nothing to mention..wifi is ok, only when they get it working Its not mentioned of course but the best way to get there is to exit the Dongdaemun History and culture train station at exit 1.Turn right and walk up the steps which has the red love heart on it.Once you reach the above street, turn left and head to the 1st pedestrian crossing.Cross over and Hamony is on your right, next to an airport bus stop..Google maps went strange to tell me I can only get there via a bus. Hamony is opposite exit 1.

    -The room is not soundproof at all as you may find it in the description. The property is right on the main road, with cars and motorbikes at any hour as it is a very central area, with a night market right in front of the property, so bring some ear plugs. If you say this to the property, they will claim that “In 8 years noise didn’t happen and that you are too ‘sensitive’ ”. -If you happen to be there in winter, please also bring some very warm clothes as the small heater they provide you with does not cover the entire room and you can feel hard to stay because there is literally cold in the night. -Please be also aware that it is very close to a very big subway station and the trains almost will wake you up until late, as they seem to be right below. - There are no chairs in the room - They only provide with small towels and such Towels are very used. - Communication can be very hard for those who do not speak a Korean, as Korean is only spoken. and communication happens only on selected hours. - The reception is not really welcoming. - The stairs for going upstairs to the room are very narrow. - This property is very much priced for a service it does not actually offer. You could find much better for the same price with a much better service.
