Sarang Guesthouse Dongdaemun

Good location near dongdaemoon or myeongdong street and not too high price for the place. The room was not perfectly clean but it was ok. The staff is very cool, breakfast included unril 10h and there is unlimited mineral water. Good wifi. It can be calm but it depends of the other guest... a lot of famiy with child for example can be noisy :) anyway it was a goos value for money !

The guesthouse itself is a 5 minute walk from Dongdaemun Park Station. It is very easy to find. The room was very big and quiet. If there was an issue with the room (for example broken light, you just had to say something to the manager and it got fixed right away). Breakfast was western style with toast and cereal. Water and Coffee were also free. I would definitely recommend this guesthouse! If you have the chance to meet the manager you should have a chat with him. His English is very Good and he travelled a lot.

Basically, you get what you pay for. If you want to go to Seoul on a budget this is a cheap and convenient little guesthouse. We had our own bathroom, room had air con and TV and convenient shops near by Myondong is about a 20 min walk and there’s a bus stop that takes you even to Incheon airport, Myondong and Gangam. Make sure you buy your Tcard it’s good for buses, subway and Taxis. However, you can only top it up with cash at any 7eleven or the subway station. The bathroom had just a shower head attached to the sink, it is like a wet room no separation or actual shower. Make sure to bring a towel. There was also a fridge that came in handy. There’s a hair dryer and free WiFi. On the whole, it’s just a place to sleep and have a quick shower. We felt safe at all times, most Koreans are very respectful and don’t worry your stuff will not get nicked. Also Seoul is quite pricey. Hope this helps.
