    Brand-new room and staff is always really good.

    I had an amazing stay at this awesome guesthouse in Seoul. The value for money was unbeatable and the room was clean and comfortable. The location was ideal, just a stone's throw away from the subway station. The staff treated me like family and went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience.

    Food for breakfast could be more diverse.

    Extremely spacious and cheap room, I really enjoyed the hotel!

    I came here for 11 nights and had a really really nice stay. Units for 8 female bedroom. The staff members were all very nice and polite. Overall the service was nice. The location was good and perfect there, right in front of metro. I dined near the hotel at Se Lamb Won.

    Great value for money, with affordable prices for budget travelers. The common area and kitchen were useful, allowing guests to cook their own meals and save money. The location was fantastic, with easy access to major tourist areas and close to public transportation.

    The beds were quite hard and uncomfortable, which affected my back. The shower setup was awkward, with small compartments separated by a curtain, providing little privacy.

    Right in front of a subway entrance, surrounded by restaurants, convenience stores, and banks. The rooms were clean and tidied up every day. I had the opportunity to meet so many people thanks to the friendly and helpful staff, especially Oshin who made my trip unforgettable. The value for money at Kimchee Guesthouse Downtown is unbeatable. I highly recommend staying here.

    I recently stayed at a guesthouse in Korea and had a great experience. The staff at Kimchee Downtown Guesthouse were super helpful, making my stay enjoyable. The bathrooms and facilities were cleaned daily, which made me feel comfortable using them. Plus, the wifi worked great. It was a bit different for me as a traveler from New Zealand, but in a good way. They provided towels, shampoo, soap, conditioner, and even a working hair dryer. The beds were a bit hard, but that seems to be the norm in Korean hostels. The staff spoke good English and were friendly, making it easy to meet other travelers. I was really satisfied with my stay.

    Cannot find any fault. 😊

    As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and comfortable staying at this guesthouse. The location is close to major tourist areas, with easy walking access to Seoul Station and Namdamun. There are also convenience stores and restaurants nearby, making it convenient for all your needs. The staff at the guesthouse are incredibly helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this guesthouse for women traveling alone.

    Felt like a home away from home, nothing to complain about.
