    The pillows are a bit hard. I have two helixes in one of my ears, and for the first time since I've had it, I had to take one off because it hurt too much when pressing against the pillow.

    The host is really nice! I'm really shy, but she made the effort to exchange some words with me, always with a kind smile. Her English is pretty good too.

    My bed was very comfortable, but my friend's was a little hard. They are metal bunk beds, so they wobbled a little as you climbed up.

    The owner was so kind and helpful. We wanted to leave our bags at the property early in the morning so we could explore the city, she made it very easy. Very clean for a guesthouse bathroom. Great value.

    The location of this place is a bit in between everything...so not really close to anything. Also the interriure quite simple. But you have everything you need.

    It was just nice. Simple clean place for a very good price.

    None

    Booked a dorm but the host was generous enough to give me a private room. When I extended my stay, I had to move to a shared room. Had good sleep in both rooms because beds are clean and even have curtains for privacy (in the dorm) Entire place has a homey vibe with pantry/kitchen and cute nooks / small lounge area. Host also took care of my laundry at a reasonable fee.

    Feels like home, even in dorm room. Has everything you need for a short or longer stays. Location close to the river or a 5 min walk to a bus stop to take you anywhere: the beach, Jumunjin, or intercity bus terminal. Large cheap store Homeplus and market within 10 minutes or 2 bus stops. The host gives all the information you need about local attractions and transportation

    Super kind host, I arrived super early in the morning and she immediately opened the door so I could drop off my luggage and freshen up with some water and freshly made corn and an egg. Bed was also super comfortable and the location was within walking distance from the KTX station and a busstation so eventhough I only stayed one night I had the best time!

    I stayed in a shared room with a shared bathroom and very much enjoyed my stay. Very nice owner who can speak a bit of english and gives you recommendations. You can store your luggage at the guesthouse before check-in and after check-out. Great equipment in the kitchen, everything is very clean. The bed in the shared bedroom is quite big and there is enough room to store all your belongings.

    What a lovely cozy homestay! It truly felt like a home that I looked forward to going back to each night for a wonderful rest. The house is well organized, sparkling clean, has all the essentials for comfort. The location is great , close to bus stops, train station and restaurants. Most importantly the host is absolutely amazing : she made great recommendations for itinerary, restaurants and transportation, and much more. I will love to come back if ever visit Gangneung again.
