Mutal Stay

What I liked most about my staying there was the the location, it was near the subway just around the corner and down the street a ways. I also want to say that I adored access to a washing machine and a dryer that I didn't have to either pay extra for, and I didn't have to contact staff for. It's communal, it's right there. Also the communal kitchen as well. I did not do any cooking, mind you, but I did have some grease on my shirt from a lot of the local cooking, and I liked the fact that I had access to dish soap and the sink to help get the stains out.

Not much. I mean everything was upfront and honest. I knew what the hotel was about. I knew the self check in. I knew that it required everyone to read what is printed on the machines and whatnot. You can solve everything quite quickly. I was happy with everything. There was nothing I did not like.

The Accommodation was very clean. Check-In and Check-Out are easy, the Staff responds quickly to enquiries. 100m down the street is a convenience store, in general there are multiple restaurants and stores nearby the stay. There is a wash room, a shared kitchen and the room provides showering gear and fresh towels. The Location is a bit further from the heart of seoul. However Taxis and Bus/Metro make traveling easy. Overall a very comfortable home.

The Toilet was quite noisy, you will ignore it subconsciously after 1-2 days. The shared kitchen sadly did not offer cooking utensils, it does have a microwave however as far as I could see there are no eating utensils either.

I stayed at the rooftop room, it was equipped with everything one needs, had an incredibly comfortable bed, and was spacious and cozy! Great for long stays since the property offers laundry facilities and a small common area.

Check in got a bit tricky, especially since, as a minor, you can’t stay alone… Could be mentioned during booking so foreigners booking last minute are reminded about such details.

On the positive side, the apartment was relatively clean.

The photos on the listing look overly professional and polished, which creates misleading expectations—the actual place does not look the same in reality. Even though the hosts have clearly put a lot of effort and care into the place, the infrastructure is so old that it fails to offer a comfortable stay regardless of their efforts. The location is quite far from central Seoul, making daily commutes back and forth lengthy and time-consuming. Despite using the toilet properly, it overflowed on our very first use. Fortunately, the staff was on-site and resolved the issue quickly, but it was still an unpleasant experience for us.
