For our 3 night stay we booked a room with a double bed and its own bathroom, but initially they put us in a tiny room with a bunk bed. Fortunately, they graciously moved us to another small room that had a double bed and its own bathroom. Towels were supplied in the room, but these were too small to properly dry off with - luckily we had brought our own towels along. ||They included a simple breakfast of toast and Biscoff spread, which is sufficient if you want to spend the day trying all of the food that Seoul has to offer. If you want to prepare your own meals in the kitchen, it is helpful to bring your own cutlery as there was not enough for more than 2-3 people. As mentioned, there is no elevator so pack lightly or use a backpack, just to make climbing the stairs a bit easier. ||The surrounding area is quiet, and conveniently located near the Lotte Mart and Seoul Station - which is ideal if you plan on exploring Seoul via the subway. It is also ideal as Seoul Station is the last stop on the KTX line from the airport (just use exit 11 to get to the guesthouse). ||The Lotte Mart is helpful if you want to buy ingredients to prepare your own meals, otherwise there are also a number of options when it comes to eating out (but definitely not as many as you would find in one of the more touristy areas).||Overall, K-Pop Guesthouse was comfortable and met our travel needs for our first trip to Seoul, but in future we would probably look for something else if we were spending more than...
Read moreK Pop Guesthouse Seoul Station would be a great choice for couple or friends who wants a place to stay during your visit to Seoul.||||It's very near to the Seoul Station (10 mins by walking) where it'll be easy for you to grab the subway train or bus to your different destinations. It's also a 10 mins walk to Lotte Mart or Lotte Outlet for you to buy groceries or cosmetics. Moreover, you can take bus Number 3 (5 mins walk to Namdaemun Police Station stop) to Namdaemun Market (heaven for souvenir hunters) or to the famous N Seoul Tower. ||||The staffs in the guesthouse are friendly & ready to help you anytime. They are able to speak in Korean, English & Japanese. ||||The rooms are quite small with mainly bunk beds, a TV table & a cupboard. The bathrooms are shared with other occupants as well unless you book rooms with bathrooms in the room. If you're travelling with kids or elderly person,it's not recommended to stay here due to the small space & there isn't any elevator (lifts). ||||If you are booking the room with breakfast,please get ready for surprises. They only serve bread, jam & peanut butter. It's advisable to bring your own food as they have prepared microwave oven, refrigerators as well as stoves.||||With all these, I would highly recommend this guesthouse to whoever wished to stay near to Seoul Station which will provide you more opportunity to explore Seoul....
Read moreI dont recommend but if you are on a budget and want to be close to bus stations and other stores then its convenient but BEWARE it is filthy. They need to Update their pictures because it's very dirty. Everything looks run down and old. Not sure of sheets are clean at all. They use a cover sheet to cover old blankets and pillows.
If you have back problems, the beds are hard and will give you more back pain. It is very narrow so there's not much room to walk and put your stuff. Not good for heavier people.
Bathroom is old and dirty. Toilet, sink, shower is all in one with no dividers separating them apart. The shower hose is connected to the sink and the sink has no separate drainer. It just drains to the floor area where there is only one drainer. If you spit, pour anything in the sink most likely you'll be stepping on it because it just goes down to the floor where you are stepping.
Can be noisy some nights because there are restaurants and people tend to get drunk at night. You can hear arguments, crying, loud talking. Not...
