Great
みみんminIt's new and impeccably clean, which is a big plus.
As for the location, while the area around the nearest station can feel a bit sketchy at times depending on the day, it's very close to the station, which is incredibly convenient.
The staff were incredibly friendly and approachable right from the moment I arrived. Since I'm studying Korean, they even gave the explanations in Korean, and did so very clearly and understandably. I imagine they tailor their explanations to suit each individual guest. The staff changed between day and night shifts, but the night staff were also very kind when I needed an extra towel and when I asked for currency exchange.
There's a washing machine and dryer in the building, which was convenient, although there's a charge. (Washing machine/Dryer: 4,000 won each, accepts only 1,000 won bills). I didn't have time to use them, but they also offer free ramen, a water dispenser, and coffee.
However, perhaps because I was in a dormitory-style room, towels weren't replaced daily. You can get a fresh towel if you ask at the front desk.
As it's a shared room with complete strangers, I made an effort to be quiet and considerate. However, for anyone just looking for a clean place to shower and sleep, I think it's a perfectly good option given its cleanliness. Personal space is quite limited, so I recommend packing light.
Next time, I'd like to try staying in a private room instead of a dormitory.

GGuest UserThis hotel is conveniently located near Jongno 3-ga Station, surrounded by many restaurants and convenience stores. Although I arrived a bit early on the day, the staff were very kind and helpful, which I really appreciated. They even carried my suitcase up to the room.
The in-room guides and rental items, which seem to have been improved based on past reviews, really showed that they care about their guests. I was using the room for downtime, so having a refrigerator with a freezer, a microwave, and a washing machine in the room was excellent. I also borrowed a heater from their rental service.
The downsides would probably be the lack of an elevator, not being able to flush toilet paper, hearing conversations late at night due to being in a drinking district, and a considerable amount of street smoking in the area.
Hotel prices around Myeongdong have gone up quite a bit, so I was very satisfied to have a comfortable and relaxed stay at this location and price. Thank you very much!

MM508407****The hotel room was well-equipped and very clean. It's only a few minutes' walk from Yeongdeungpo Market subway station. There are two front desk staff members. The slightly stockier guy working the day I checked in was really nice. He patiently used his phone to translate when he saw I didn't understand, and very helpfully resolved any issues. However, the other slimmer front desk guy wasn't good; he was very impatient, so I avoided asking him anything later on. 😂 But overall, it was quite good, and I would definitely stay here again next time I visit Korea.

AanhkimThe dorm room on the first floor has three bunk beds, accommodating up to six guests. It's a mixed dorm. While the room is small, it wasn't an issue since I spent most of my time in the common area when not sleeping. Shampoo is provided in the shared shower rooms. As it's a guesthouse, your experience will likely vary depending on who your fellow guests are. It's about a 10-minute walk from Itaewon Station on Seoul Subway Line 6. Be aware that the route involves either a steep slope or stairs, so it might be challenging for guests with mobility issues.

AAna_DarkI liked location, because all popular cafes were around and also convenience stores. I lived in female dorm and it was good. Not cold, good beds. Clean most of the time. Very friendly staff
GGuest UserThe room was average. I sprayed a lot of insect repellent. Myeongdong is just downstairs, so transportation is very convenient. The staff was not there when I checked in, so I dragged my luggage upstairs with my child. When I checked out, the staff got up early to help us take our luggage downstairs. Thank you. The TV in the room has Netflix, which my child likes very much. I didn't expect this.

JJadeyCMy review for a 2 night stay as 2 friends in a Twin room with windows.
Plus points:
1) Value for money, no frills, simple breakfast included
2) Excellent location by DDM History & Culture Park Station, Bus Stops and short walk after you alight from Airport Bus 6001 alighting at Toyoko Inn
3) Near to DDP and DDM shopping area, food options, and convenient stores nearby
4) Able to store luggage
5) Water cooler on every floor for hot and cold water
6) Aircon is great during summer!
7) Elevators! (though a little slow at times)
8) They provided towels and shower toiletries
9) Faces main road not along alleyways, keycard access, main entrance and lifts have to be operated by keycards after 11pm, so pretty secured imo
10) There's a small fridge in the room, and I believe you can use the common kitchen to cook or reheat simple meals if you want to.
Points to note (not exactly negatives, dependent on tolerance levels):
1) Cleanliness, overall ok, but I don't think they clean the corners and under the beds
2) Old linen, sheets
3) Very old building, tiles cracking along the hallway, definitely in need of better maintenance
4) The shower is connected to the sink, which means no separation of toilet and shower. Everything will get wet if you are not careful
5) Small space, but manageable imo, we were able to fit and pack 2 x 24” luggages in the twin room.
6) Wash your own dishes after having your breakfast, not an issue for us, though
Overall, it's an old, budget, no frills guesthouse. Will recommend it for short stays, and I would return if I am travelling alone for the price point.
MMary KathrynWe were able to locate the guest house easily using Naver Map. However, our first struggle was how to reach the destination itself.
The guesthouse is located in an uphill area, almost near Namsan Cable Car (600km/20min walk). A great tip we discovered (after struggling of walking uphill for 2 days 😂) was using the escalators/elevators near the Ihoeyeong Memorial Hall. Go straight from there and you’ll find a 7-Eleven convenience store upon crossing the street. Go left then right at the first wide alley way you see, it should be uphill. Keep on walking until you see a signage of mama guest house on your right side.
We booked a day before our arrival so we could immediately check-in in our rooms. A note welcomed us and our keys were found at the reception area. Pls don’t forget to remove your shoes and change into the slippers they provide found in the shoe cabinet at the left side of the entrance.
Our rooms were next to each other, but differ in size. Bathroom was okay, but I hope they’ll fix the sink’s pipe problem in room 104 since it leaks on the floor upon using. I suggest buying shower filters (5,000 Won) since the water in SK is quite harsh. I suggest to test how you’ll adjust the temperature when showering. There were no bidets in our bathrooms.
Always bring your keycard with you whenever you go out. They don’t go into your rooms like hotels would. If you have any requests, just leave a note on their desk (ie. New towels, tissue, etc.) They also don’t have laundry machines. Do not eat inside the rooms, only in the kitchen which is in the basement.
If you feel like your trash bins are getting full, trash bins are found in the lobby and segregate everything according to their waste category. Just think of it as you’re staying on your own room.
Walls are thin, made of light wood materials so I wouldn’t suggest talking nor listening to your phone loudly.
Breakfast menu were cereals with milk, bread and flavored jam, and instant noodles. You can only consume what’s inside the fridge unless there’s a note that a room guest owns it. You can cook and buy your own food, just make sure you clean up after. You can also fill-up your water bottles here.
Going to different areas are easy too since it’s near Myeongdong Station exit 1. If you’re planning to go shopping in Myeongdong, just go straight after exit 1 and you should see E-Mart across the street then cross on the first crosswalk you see. If you want to enter the “main” street, go left until you see the bug HBAF building.
Overall, I think our stay was a good since the staff we get see was very accommodating to our requests. I just hope they’ll fix some of their bathroom leakage.
