Note there are NO STAFF here. Check-in via QR code at front door was straight-forward. No breakfast, despite what the photos show. My single room (302) was small by Western standards but fully functional and very clean. I would happily stay here again. Convenient location. I took AREX all stop during rush hour, with suitcase, and it wasn't too packed.

I was arriving late, and the self-check in was seamless. They have a QR code used to check in using their open but limited wifi outside, so you don't have to worry about not having a connection to use their system. The room was nice and clean - providing all the basics and a TV with over 200 channels. Very good shower, hot water.

Stayed here for 2 nights and had a very pleasant experience. There is no on-site employees but the person I spoke with via KKT was very helpful and friendly. The room was nice and clean and the AC worked wonders, thankfully. The location is perfect, very close to the metro and shopping.

Very good place!

Perfect placement very close to Hongik Univ. underground station and green cozy area. Very nice staff. Very clean and we had all we needed. We stayed 2 adults and 2 teenagers in the family room. Not a big room but everything was working fine and the price was very good so more money left to do shopping in Seoul ๐Ÿ˜Š Thanks for a nice stay, we'll definetely be back next time!

Easy to check in by QR code, beautiful and clean room. Flexible with luggage storage. Friendly and helpful staff. Amazing location, walkable to all of Hongdae/Hongik university area and AREX airport train. I think the wifi only connects 1 device at a time. I think the fridge in my room did not work but no problem as I only stayed 1 night.

Pros: Of all the hard beds I had in Korea, this was the least hard. Or maybe I was really sleepy. Your own bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Close to metro, lots of shops, food etc. Near university so many are young and beautiful. Clean area and room. Kitchen and dining area are convenient. Feels very safe. Keyless lock (need code) Cons: Keyless lock (out of luck if your phone is out of power), several people had to try multiple times. I could hear them trying the front door from 2 floors up. I donโ€™t know if there werenโ€™t many people there, but heard one group in the hallway at 3 am. Fortunately, I always wake up in the middle of the night so no big deal. Plus I was so sleepy, I went back to sleep. Lots of stairs so if your bags are heavy and youโ€™re on the second floor, itโ€™s a little difficult. Fortunately, my bag was not heavy, but my balance is bad. I survived without falling, intact and unbroken. I would stay many more days if I ever go back to Korea!

Clean and great location just a 5 minute walk from Hongik University station. Bonusโ€ฆit is on the airport line and for a mere 5500 won for the fast train to terminals 1 and 2 to/from Incheon Airport, and Gimpo airport is a stop as well. The 1 Line is a straight line to Jamsil and Lotte Tower and popular stops in central Seoul. Shopping on Honguate is just about 5/10 minute walk. Olive Young store for a comprehensive selection of Korean skincare is super close as well to the Daol Guesthouse. Cannot get there and want skincare products? Both terminals 1 and 2 on level 1B at Incheon are large Olive Young stores, or when you are inside security the Duty Free shops have skincare lines and that always on special pricing. Check in an easy with a QR code easily seen when you walk in the gate.

We had a pleasant stay at the guesthouse. It was clean and has basic provisions as described. The insulation of the house was excellent such that we feel warm despite the cold outside. Easy access into guesthouse and room and also convenience to subway makes it worthwhile staying here. Owner and family members all rallied together to help us contact the necessary authorities when our luggage was delayed and helpled to receive our luggage at odd hours in the early mornjng. A few steps outside the accomodation was a hive of shopping streets, all within walking distance, including supermarkets. I would stay at Daol guesthouse again if I were to visit Korea and would recommend it to anyone who wants a convenient place to stay when in Seoul. Pl note that no breakfast is provided and the kitchen and all the electrical appliances in it are not accessible for the time being due to Covid. This was not informed on booking sites.
