    The metro station is nearby and it is really close to Namsan. We had a room next to the kitchen, we were afraid to hear noise from people cooking, but we were lucky, because it seemed not so many people went cooking there. The ceiling in the bathroom is really not for tall people :D! We did not have time to visit the bar of the owners, so maybe next time!

    We stayed in room 2 and the bunkbed/matress was a bit noisy, so everytime I or my friend turned around, there was quite some squeaking. The kitchen in our part of the house was not fully equipped, so everytime we wanted to boil water or get cold drinking water, we needed to cross a small corridor to the other kitchen of the house. It's fine of course, but just a little inconvenient. There weren't too many dishes (cups, plates, cutlery etc.) and we had to look for a while before we found some.

    Check in was smooth, we got a message telling us how to get into the property and we were able to get in easily. The place was quite spacious and the kitchen seemed newly renovated and was rather clean. There were plenty of slippers available and space to store our own shoes.

    The rooms weren’t very soundproof, we got woken several times in the night by next door neighbors. Not a great fan of self check in as we did not see anyone in the whole time we were there.

    Basic accommodation but you have everything you need. The property was close to a subway station and was in a quiet and safe area .

    We liked everything! Very easy self check-in, with password provided in advance by the owner, who was very kind. The house was perfect for us. Kind of backpacker style, with full equipped kitchen, fridge, microwave, hot/cold water, etc. prefect to save some money cooking a little bit at home and not spending every meal out. Room was clean and comfy too. Location is good too. Five/ten minutes walking to the closest metro station. We would definitely stay again! Thank you Jinho! ☺️

    Great value for money and clean, located in the heart of Seoul next to metro stations which connect all over the city. Jinho is a great host and made us feel very welcome, make sure you visit his bar The Black Whale around the corner for some fantastic food and drinks! Would 100% come back if we’re ever in Seoul again, thanks Jinho!

    The manager had no idea about our stay, since it was a self check in process, once we were inside sleeping the manager opened our bedroom door thinking we were inside without permission and asked to see our booking reservation, the bathroom has an extremely short ceiling and it’s not very clean. Also the room had a very bad smell once we got there.

    Good location, easy to find.

    I was in room 3. The floor under the beds was full of dust, hair and garbage, it had definitely not being cleaned for a while. The floor heating system didn't work well, so the room was colder than the rest of the place. No desk or chair in the room, only a low table, a wobbly shelf and a tiny mirror. The bathroom on my floor had a strong smell of sewage and the first night I saw bugs crawling around. This is a Korean thing, but the shower is in the middle of the bathroom, without any curtains, so when you shower you wet everything, toilet included. The bathroom on the 1st floor did have a curtain.

    Host super friendly and helpful, always fast to respond to messages. Automatic lock with passcode, easy to check in and out. Loved the electric blanket, thank goodness it was there because it was really cold at night. Very close to Seoul station, a lot of cafés, convenience stores and restaurants around. Good Wi-Fi. Good kitchen with a big fridge and hot/cold water dispenser.

    Bed sheets and covers had very visible stains. Beds are not comfortable. The ceiling of the bath to room no. 3 is really low. Communication needs to be better, as other guests were confused about communal spaces.

    Close to the metro but still quiet at night.

    The room and the toilet were very dirty. The bin with toilet paper was not even emtyed. We are not sure, but the toilet looked not cleaned as well. And the towels we got were dirty. We complained and got 3 new towels, but out of the 6 towels we received, only 2 were not dirty. This was the most dissapointing hostel we had on our whole 3 weeks trip out of 9 hostels.

    Nice communication with the owner. Late checkin was possible without any problems, as he sent us the code for the door and the room was open.

    It was hard to find the place despite looking at the map on Booking and even with Naver map. Our room was not tidy. The bed was littered with many different strands of hair. The room was very humid even with aircon. The whole property screamed of water damage, and by the second night my nose was itching. Blanket and our clothes were damp at all times. The wet bathroom was in the neighbouring unit. The roof was leaking and also very low. I couldn’t stand straight and I’m 177cm tall.

    Good location near many sights. The area is quiet and calm, next to an elementary school. There are convenience stores and many good restaurants nearby. The common areas are nice and spaceous. The two kitchens have everything needed for a short stay.

    I didn't have problem with the accomodation or the staff. But since the accommodation was a guest house, we were sharing the building with another guests and we can never know what kind of guest we have next room. A very minor incident occured in the morning but it was nothing. At the end, the staff surprised me again with the kindness and dedication. I left my shirt in the room and the staff would send me the shirt through a package. That's awesome!!

    Me and my friends needed a place to sleep near to Itaewon since we had a huge event the next morning. It would be too much for us to commute from our place at Incheon that early. And we found Jinho's Guest House. It's just 10 minutes away by bus from Seoul station and 10 minutes away by bus to Itaewon. Strategic! I love it that we had to do self check in cos we arrived almost midnight. Everything was prepared and we didn't have any trouble checking in. The staff contacted me before arrival about the self checking process. The room was spatious, clean, and comfortable. They even provided a kitchen! Totally worth the price!
