Liked: Danny, the manager is helpful and friendly, he speaks English correctly. He can pick you up at the bus stop (bus coming from the airport), just take note of his phone number and call him from a bar nearby. The hostel is clean and cosy and looks like a big private house. You can make some friends there. The breakfast is included: toasts, strawberry jam, coffee, milk for the coffee, orange juice, grape juice. They provide the laundry. 5 minutes by walk from the subway station (Hansung University, line 4), then 5-10 minutes by subway to the center of Seoul. 10 minutes by walk to bars area.

Disliked: The guest house is good in the whole. The staff can be a little hard to find in the house but you can reach the manager with the phone provided in the kitchen. Noisy guests are noticeable and greedy, do not leave your own food unattended. The rooms are a bit small, welcome in Seoul!

Liked: I really liked the layout of the house, and how it was really like a small community living there. The shared bathrooms were clean, even though so many people were using them, and the rooms were comfortable.

Disliked: Seems a little bit pricey, but as is everything in Seoul. Had a slight mix-up at first with the rooms, but that was swiftly handled by the owner, Danny. Nothing else to report!

30 May 2011 Hannu would recommend this property

Liked: Absolutely 100% awesome guest house! We arrived by airport bus to Seoul and Danny, the owner, picked us up free from the bus stop. Danny is the friendliest guest house host you'll ever meet. Ask anything about Seoul and he's got the answer and very good directions to everywhere. Rooms are clean, location is very convenient near a subway line 4. Free breakfast, free laundry... There is just nothing bad to say about our stay, I would definitely book to Open Guest House again.

12 April 2011 Gavin would recommend this property

Liked: Fantastic Guesthouse. Danny picked us up from the Airport Bus station and let us settle in. Recieved a large 4 person room, big windows. Danny really helped us make sure we knew where everything was, and spent a long amount of time with us going over where we should go in Seoul. Shower was nice, free towels. Toast and Juice in the morning was nice. Location also good, located near subway. A little hard to find a first but very quickly got the hang of it.

Disliked: Nothing major.

28 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It's very clean and the staff is very friendly. They know how to speak English and Japanese very well, and probably more languages. You have free breakfast and all the rooms have a heater, which was very much important to me.

Disliked: One thing that kind of bugged me was the shower. In one of the bathrooms, there are two showers and if you use both showers, the water pressure will definitely decrease by a lot, so make sure to use the bathroom alone.

13 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Its a beautiful house and the place is full of young people from all over the country. The garden is well set up just unfortunate not having the time to enjoy the setting as we are out most of the time of our stay till rather late. Danny who runs the place is such a wonderful and helpful guy just can't fault anything about the place and people

Disliked: None
