A quirky old house in a quiet neighbourhood. I liked the area because it was not overrun by tourists and Korean BBQ joints. Haebangchon and Noksapyeong a 30 minute walk away. Namsan Park 10 minutes. The guesthouse is run by a mother and daughter, who both spoke pretty good English and were kind and helpful. Coffee and tea bags were supplied in the communal kitchen, as was bottled water.

I’d booked the room with a bunk bed since I was travelling alone. The private bathroom for this room was not ensuite. I had to cross the common area to get to it, which was a little inconvenient. I missed not having a chair in my room, as I couldn’t sit on the bed because the top bunk was too low. It was good the other guests were quiet because there was a big gap under the bedroom door.

I chose this guesthouse based on the comments about the owners/staff, and they are indeed lovely and helpful. My only regret was not spending more time with them, but I think they try to give their guests space and privacy. The location is perfect: in a quiet area (never had a noise issue), yet 2 minutes walking from a bus stop. Buses from there take you to the main train station and city centre. You're basically connected (and very close) to everything that's important. The rooms are cleaned daily (they change the towels every day, even if you request they don't) and you have a common dining room where you can take your meals, if needed. The bathroom is separate, but it is not an issue, as it's a mere 10 steps away from the room. I highly recommend this guesthouse if you're looking for peace and quiet, but if you're a party group - not for you. P.S. Hanna, thank you so much for the breakfast chocolate cakes - they were delicious and a very thoughtful gesture.

The only thing I didn't like was not getting to speak more to Hanna and her mom, while I stayed there: they are truly very lovely people.

I really enjoyed my stay at Jiwoljang Guesthouse. I will definitely stay there again if I am ever in Seoul. I had asked if I had a private bathroom and was told I did. What I didn't realize was that it was not ensuite. However, it was really no problem. Everything was clean, and the thing I loved best was how incredibly quiet it was. I slept very well despite jet lag. The surrounding neighborhood is charming as well! It is also very convenient to get everywhere by bus or metro. While I didn't see the owners too much, on my last day, the young woman got up at the time I was leaving (4:40 AM!) to see me off and give me a bottle of Starbucks coffee drink. If she had not, I don't think I would have made it to the airport on time since my ride, booked through Trip.com, never showed. She helped me to call the driver repeatedly, hailed a cab on the street for me, spoke with the taxi driver (I don't speak Korean), and made sure my credit card would work for payment. She saved me! Once they renovate their garden, it will really be lovely.

This stay is in an adorable part of town. The house was beautiful and so comfortable to stay in. The host and her mother were both incredibly sweet. Wonderful to talk with and helpful with suggestions and information about the area and transportation. The room was spacious and had all the amenities we could need. Had a great time. Highly recommend!

I sincerely have nothing to write here. The communication from the host and quality of the house were so excellent.

The bed was so soft that it was so comfortable to sleep! Room was clean and the bathroom was individual, so it was convenient to use, and I spent my time comfortably in a quiet area. The transportation is also close to the bus stop and the subway is in the center, so it was convenient to travel anywhere, Hanna and Mom were kind, and communication was fast, so I would like to recommend it.

I reviewed the reviews and made the reservation, and it was much better than I expected. Hanna was kind enough to show you the way, and she was kind to me and my friend on our way out. I liked the location because it was close to anywhere and the accommodation was quiet and cozy. And I liked it because the garden was beautiful and the room was clean. I will visit you again when I come to Korea next year!

Quiet location and close to Seoul Station, so it was easy to go to the airport. It is close to Namsan Tower and it was nice to be able to travel comfortably such as Itaewon, Myeongdong, and Namdaemun Market. Hanna was kind, and if I visit Korea again next time, I am willing to come again!
