Puzzlestay House

Very clean, quite location. Has all you need including washing machine. 10 mins walking distance to the subway station. Host is very friendly. He offered to pick us up from the station.There are not many restaurants for vegetarians.

It is on a steep slope. People who are not used to walking can take a taxi. Would be nice to have some tea bags and coffee for guests.

From the very first moment, we loved our stay at Puzzlehouse. We stayed for one week and in the end did not want to leave. The cosiness & cleanliness of the Place, wonderful amenities (fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, drinking water) and breakfast as well as the great host made us feel at home. The Location is within walking distance to public transportation and we liked that it was set a little more in a quiet and traditional neighbourhood, right in between Seoul City and Bukhasan Nationalpark.

It was absolutely Great! But just a little idea: Since it is very difficult to communicate in English in Korea, it would be a great help if the accommodation could offer a little guideline on how to use the subway starting from this area, because it is a little off the beaten track (how to to get tickets or the tmoney card…)

At first I was a little hesitant to book the place since some comments indicated that it was far from the city center. Honestly, I do not consider it far - traveling back and forth are doable and short from the center even if you are coming from Myeongdong. The place is in a neighbourhood where you can experience local living, also quiet and serene - a perfect break from the bustling city. The house is very nice - spotless clean! Paul and his wife were so nice and polite. He even insisted to drop us at the train station. The breakfasts were healthy, clean and very nice. Simple yet sumptuous - I recommend you avail this during your stay. Will definitely book the place again when I come back. Thank you, Puzzlestay!

NONE.

This is not a hotel, but at Puzzlestay, you have more a hotel could offer. Paul, the host of this beautiful house, is very helpful and accommodating. One of our group caught a fever, we was rushing back and texted Paul if he has a thermometer. When we arrived, Paul was popping up at the door giving us the thermometer. That was a rainy night and we couldn't go out again. Paul made sure that our take-out was arranged so that we did not starve. There's a shared living room with a kitchen and a laundry machine. I was worried our clothes stayed wet after laundry (because it was very humid in Seoul that week) and texted Paul. He showed up at my door with his dehumidifier ! We are so thankful to Paul and his wife - we have such a great stay.

Nothing. The location is not at the center of Seoul but we like the neighborhood so much and we really get a feel of how local people are living. It's 30 minutes by bus to the city center Geongpokgung. Anywhere across the Hanggan river is a bit far but it's only 20 minutes if you just grab a taxi (at around 16,000 -20,000 won). There's a big convenience store in two minutes.
