The location is very strategic, near the myeongdong shopping street, dongdaemun, and namsan tower. It is also easy to find the guest house because it is located near the traffic light. The guesthouse is very clean and the staff is so helpful and friendly. I would like to stay in this hostel again if I come to Seoul, and I would like to recommend this hostel to my other backpacker friends. Thank you bong house!
