Seochon Gachi B&B Gyeongbokgung (Nanu Guesthouse KPOP)

Good

This is a decent place from which to discover Seoul. Right next to the Hongik university area, it's well connected via subway and airport buses. The dorm room was quite small and crammed - three three-tiered bunk beds and a shared bathroom - but it does the trick. Certainly value for money.

The bathrooms looked like they were never cleaned, taps, bathrooms were so dirty and they never gave us enough toilet paper. Manager should not have gone through lockers without putting a sign up first. (A girl in our dorm had something stolen) No staff at hand when needed and not a friendly Vibe. Floor was wooden and broken quite dangerous, I hope they fix it soon. Although a budget hostel I recommend you stay somewhere else, Orange guest house next door has friendly staff and clean rooms. The rooms also are much more cramped than the photos.

Stayed here 4 nights, the bathrooms are not cleaned, a girl who is there long term said it's cleaned once a week at most. For a 9 person dorm it ends up being filthy. Theý are stingy with toilet paper and there's mildew and mould on the taps. A girl in our room had her straightener stolen and the manager went through the lockers with spare keys, with no annoucment, one of the German girls was not even aware thè manager had gone through our bags. When I did my Laundry, the manager gave me ￦3000 short because she mis-calculated the amount. When we contested it, she said we were trying to get more money. Then the other staff admitted she made a mistake and we would get the money back. But she never gave it back to me nor apologise for the mistake. Would not reccommend. It's not about the money, but the principle of it.

The french girl is hospitable and always smile, which makes me feel welcomed. Many mosquitoes are around in the area.

I didn't know what kpop was before I came here. But great value and clean. Don't expect breakfast, but all in all in great clean, safe, fun, value.

It is close to Hongdea and Hongik station. Staff is friendly and make me feel like home. They did cleaning everyday when I stayed there. One thing tough, in the mix dorm, it would be nicer if they put the curtain between beds. And the restrooms had a lot of fruit flies. By the way I will be back again !

The staff is very nice and helpful, close to the city and train station, there is a few cute coffee shop around. We would definitely go back there again :)

Thanks Rowena for your help throughout the stay though I had to shorten the stay ! It was overall a good experience at the hostel ! The place was easy to locate albeit a little far from the subway station exit 1. I hope to see you soon :))

Highly recommended! Comfy beds! Clean Bathroom! Regina was very helpful and kind.
