For what this guesthouse is it is really good. The rooms are small but allow for everything you need, including very efficient aircon. The WiFi is good and the toilets are modern, clean and good. Free laundry with new washing machines which is good. However, the two main drawbacks for this guesthouse is the lack of fresh food available, there was only (sometimes) apples and tomatoes with a lot of prepackaged food. I would’ve preferred some more fresh fruit. The main drawback is getting in contact with staff, I wanted to use the gym multiple times however often there was never an employee to be seen and when trying to contacting them via WhatsApp there was a language barrier. That being said overall I would recommend the guesthouse as it was an enjoyable place to stay.

The Snowflower Guesthouse was a lovely place to stay. It was clean throughout, and although the rooms are on the smaller side, they are very comfortable. There is both an air conditioning unit and an air purifier, so you can easily adjust everything to your preferences. The bed was really comfortable, and the shower was a good size. Although the toilet is shared, it never bothered me: I stayed for 8 days and it was always clean and accessible. Food is available throughout the day with a decent selection. For the price and location, it is an absolute steal. If you are looking for a simple, comfortable place to sleep while exploring Seoul, this is a perfect choice. The staff were all incredibly kind and welcoming. I highly recommend it! 😊 감사합니다. 재미 있었어요.

I loved the kitchen on the terrace. I’m glad I was only there 2 nights the bed was uncomfortable , small, and gave me a sore back. One morning both toilets were locked, no one answered when I knocked and called out, no one around. I ended up using the men’s one toilet that was open. The other 2 were locked also.

Es una buena opción ya que está cerca de algunos atractivos turísticos, paradas de autobuses y una estación de metro. El staff es amable. La habitación es considerablemente pequeña pero cómoda y cálida, incluso en invierno. Tiene su propia regadera en el cuarto. Las áreas comunes están limpias. Además, incluye ramen, huevos, arroz, jugo, etc., lo cual puede ser muy ventajoso para algunas personas. Me agradó, me volvería a alojar aquí.

This place was amazing!! Definitely the best “hostel” I’ve stayed at. You get your own small room with a bed, shower, big screen tv, ac unit, and refrigerator. The bathroom was outside of the room, but it was usually empty and very clean. They also provide use of a washing machine for free. The dryer costs money though. The entire property was very clean. The staff were incredibly nice. They also had a cute sitting area and free food and drinks 24/7! The only issue I had was that they make you pay to store your luggage. But I highly recommend this place! It will definitely be the first place I look to stay at when I go back.

It is a budget place to stay. The rooms are really tiny with toilets down the hall (they are kept very clean). sink and shower in the room. AC is good and there is a little de-humidifier as well. There is free food and beverages available all day that you fix yourself and clean your own dishes. It is a 10 min walk to subway line #4. There are also buses closer.

Very clean. I was shown on how to and where the stuff is upon checking in. Seems to be in a rush. The room is really tiny good only for 1 person. The patio where to eat is dark when you have to eat at night. But the biggest perk? It’s help yourself food is available anytime. Huge savings. The toilet is shared which I didn’t know when I booked. The place is close to everything but the subway is about 5 Minutes walk. This is not close to the sights to see you have to do subway or bus. Overall it was ok and again, the biggest perk is the food and it is very clean. It is available anytime. How I wish the patio light is on even at night. How I wish the owner at least says hi or check on the guests sometimes. How I wish it’s so much closer to Hyewa subway.

1人旅には最高でした。

1人の宿泊だとソウル市内のホテルは高いので、ゲストハウスにしました。 他の人のレビュー通り、部屋は狭いですが綺麗です。日本のカプセルホテルと比べたらプライベートスペースは広いし、軽食は24時間自由に食べれるし、近くに飲食店が多くあるので困りませんでした。 アメニティーも歯ブラシや体を洗うタオルまでありました。女性の方でシャンプーとコンディショナーを使っている人は持って行った方が良いかもしれません。ドライヤーやハンガーも部屋にあります。洗濯機、乾燥機(乾燥は有料)もあって、長期滞在には良いと思いました。 地下鉄やバスで観光もしやすくて良かったです。次もまた泊まりたいと思いました。
