    the floor i was at were the private rooms and not the dorms, but it was REALLY noisy, i think the 2 rooms at the end of the hall were having a party. i am used to guesthouses and i know we need to adjust, but it was just too loud. not that it was the fault of the guesthouse but could've been better if they have a staff for night duty to check, as they have posted that parties were not allowed

    room was big, hotel was clean and they were nice enough to have ramyeon and bread for breakfast the rooftop also has a very nice night view, perfect for some chill time before resting. location was near myeongdong too, a quaint vegan cafe just around the corner and a cvs

    The restroom and shower combined next to eachother without a separating-wall made the floor wet and moist most of the time, which was a bit of a hassle.

    Kind staff, good location, extremely good value for the money.

    The staff is not 24/7 available. When I had a problem with a washing machine in the evening there was none to help.

    Perfect location, cleanliness, convenient shared area and free laundry. Even in a dormitory I was comfortable. Good value for money.

    To get there the walk is up hill so be prepared. My curtain for my dorm bed had stains on. The butter dish/box needs to be cleaned more regularly.

    Free bread for toast all day and one cup noodle a day. Staff friendly and lift to help get upstairs. Not far to bus or train 8 min walk max.

    The bathrooms in the girls' dormitory were not good. They were in desperate need of a deep clean. There was a broken pipe under the basin leaking water everywhere which wasn't repaired even after I notified the staff. The floors were constantly wet.

    Namsam Guesthouse is in a great location in Myeongdong. But heads up there is a bit of a hill to walk up to get there from the station. There is loads of good food around and its close to great stores and art galleries. Everyone was very respectful. There is a fully equipped kitchen and some snacks too. It's nice that they have the rooftop space to relax at.

    Well there was too much light from the exit lights at night.

    I loved everything and how organised it was. It was cleaned everyday and very very quiet. Location was great but hilly. I loved it!

    could have provided trash bags so that we can conveniently clear the trash bin at the end of the day, especially the toilet papers that cannot be flushed down the toilet. Dehumidifier in the showers will be nice too. There were drainage smell coming out of it once in a while. Pillows were too soft and thin, while bed a tad too hard. Not recommended for people with walking difficulties/ on wheelchair/ heavy luggage; it is located up a slope, only few mins walk to the cable car station.

    Triple room was comfortable enough for 3 easy-going adults with 3 cabin size luggage. Everything was as described in listing and photos.

    The walls are incredibly thin - if you have issues sleeping with noise then do not book. This was our only issue with the property, you can hear neighbours conversation word for word through the wall. Although there are signs saying to keep quiet after 11, neither of our neighbours adhered to this so be warned!

    Rooms were very clean and had all basic amenities. Location was 5 min walk to main Myeongdong shopping street so very central for shopping and any guided tours. Kitchen offered a basic breakfast which was useful and there were facilities for cleaning clothes if needed.

    Alright, I get I was on a budget so I was not really expecting or asking a lot. The female dorm I booked meant that I had to share it with 20 people (more or less) in a room, not well ventilated and no daylight at all. I myself was out all day so didn’t really had to suffer it. But it needs to be pointed out. Not the cleanest place but they could do better.

    Location is superb, At Myongdong. Facilities were good and rooftop with views to Namsan Tower are amazing. Only interacted with the staff at the check in so can not really give an opinion. Great if you are on a budget.

    Cleanliness was poor - very dusty in the room, especially under the beds and the heatpump was spitting out black dust so was unable to be used. There were belongings of previous stayers under the bed indicating the room hadn't been cleaned properly in some time I would say. Bathroom door handle wasn't working well

    Great location, free ramyeon and great communal spaces

    The location is superb. Walking distance to Myeongdong subway station and market as well as the N Seoul Tower. The guesthouse is homely, clean, and we feel safe. the check in and check out process is quick. We arrived at midnight and the owner communicated well beforehand so we can self check in with ease. We liked the complimentary breakfast (very handy) and more importantly the kitchen facilities where we can store and cook food (if needed). There is also a facility to do our laundry which was great. The rooftop is a bonus. It has a nice view and can see N Seoul tower from there. The staff were friendly and helpful. The owner was very hospitable and friendly, he treated his guests with drinks and food and a nice chat. The room we had was good and water in shower was great. Good value for money. We noticed that there was an ongoing work or refurbishment in some part of the property which was good and although busy it did not cause any noise or inconvenience. There is a facility to store the luggage after check out which was very helpful. They even have a weighing scale. If needed, the staff can help book an airport taxi which we availed. There is a convenience store and ATM machine outside the guesthouse. We had a comfortable stay and we are very happy. Will be back. Highly recommended.

    The dorm layout makes it feel like there are less beds but still with this many people in the room it does get noisy sometimes

    The little pods are spacious and bed is comfortable. Short walk from Myeondong station but far enough to be quiet. Small convenience store 2min walk away. Rooftop has great views! Owner was super nice as well!
