Nice, basic stay
Room was decent size and clean. The free washer and dryer on the 3rd was nice to have available. Only complaint is that mattress was a little too firm for my liking, but wasn't terrible and I still able to sleep well enough. I would rebook here again.

Value for money
Convenient, friendly host, spacious room , value for money , great location and food but Bathroom shower is an issue , shower head and faucet are not user friendly , strong sewage smell at the ground level. Our room was on the first floor at the back alley . Other rooms may not have the same issue .

Most Value for money stay
Mr Naru, guesthouse owner, super friendly, always ever ready to help, with sightseeing, bicycle rental at Hangang River, postal services, restaurants reccomendation, fast food ordering and delivery, public bathhouse! Other good stuff we like about Naru Guesthouse: 1. Abundant free flow of food( oranges, strawberries, instant noodles, juices, coffee, tea, cereals, milk, etc. Even though, these are meant for breakfast, Mr Naru generously allows us to help ourselves freely to these foods any time of the day!! 2)there was washing machine and dryer which we can use use freely at NO CHARGE!! 3) Many great Korean eateries near guesthouse 4) pretty near, abt 5 mins walk( without luggage) GongDeok Subway station, exit 4. This subway station is linked to 4 different lines, which is great n convenient to go almost anywhere!

Worth the money!
I found my stay really worth my money. The hostel's location is really good, surrounded by many good restaurants, close to the subway that connects 4 lines and peaceful neighbourhood. The hostel's owner is such a nice guy, helping me fix my luggage! One drawback is only that I could hear people talking every night. However, overall is really good :)

必要な設備は整っていた。タオルがある程度積んであって特に制限なかったのはうれしい お湯はあまり長時間使いすぎるとでなくなったのとシャワー、トイレ間にカーテンなしなのでシャワーに不便さはあると感じた ただ安いのと寝心地は悪くなかったので寝るだけと割り切れば良いと感じた

寝るだけなので、安くて、個室シャワーあり、 スーツケース広げられる広さありました。 セキュリティ面で少し不安はありますが、 ゲストハウスってこんな感じかなと思います。 階段が急＋狭いので重いスーツケースがあると少し大変だと思います。 掃除するわけでもないのに、たまに部屋に入るのはなぜ？と思いました。換気？ （部屋に戻ると窓が開いている）

Je ne recommande pas cet hostel
Chambre très vetuste et sale , matelas avec ressort très désagréable, porte avec seulement un petit verrou. Heureusement je n'y suis resté que 3 nuits.
