“Beautiful concept and lovely atmosphere, with exceptional hospitality from Key. Unfortunately, the “Fairytale Room” was”
The hostel is a beautifully designed property tucked away in a quiet residential area, with a lovely creative and intimate atmosphere. Key was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and understanding throughout my stay; when I found my initial room uncomfortable, she went out of her way to help, even letting me rest on the sofa at reception and arranging another room for the next five nights. The Banyan Tree Room was a complete game changer—spacious, comfortable, and much better suited to a longer stay. I also enjoyed the sweets and coffee in the common area and the friendly chats with Key. The warmth and hospitality of the staff, especially Key, made a very positive difference to my overall experience. I had booked the “Economy Room”, described as the “Fairytale Room”, but it was quite disappointing. The name “Fairytale Room” didn’t match the reality, and the space felt more like an unfinished design concept than a comfortable guest room. The WC needed a more thorough cleaning, and I was surprised to find that the sleeping arrangement was essentially a mattress on the floor with a tatami mat. The ceiling above the sleeping area was extremely low—about 1.5 metres—and the space was directly underneath the WC of the room above. I tried to rest there for a couple of hours in the afternoon but found it very uncomfortable and hard to relax. I would recommend being much more transparent in the room description and photos about the extremely low ceiling, floor‑level sleeping arrangement, and unusual layout so guests know exactly what to expect before booking. Although I eventually moved to the much more comfortable Banyan Tree Room, I had to pay roughly double the price again. The difference in comfort was significant, so I would suggest reviewing the Economy/Fairytale Room to ensure it offers an experience that matches the expectations created by the property’s branding.
“Hotellet ligger godt og er hyggeligt, badeværelset er slidt”
The place was nice and within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and the like, but the bathroom clearly needs a renovation.
“Although the Korean Tourist Center has apologized for the guesthouse’s misconduct, I am deeply disappointed that the hos”
There were no redeeming qualities. A guesthouse was found by the sanitary authorities to be in violation of severe hygiene and maintenance deficiencies and unsafe property conditions, and I personally experienced an invasion of privacy.
Everything was great! I liked it and recommend it!
“コストパフォーマンスがいい1人向け宿”
The value for money was outstanding; a private room for about 4000 yen per night is rare in Seoul. The ceiling in the bedroom was only about a meter high, which surprised me at first, yet the cleaning was thorough and it was fine for sleeping. For someone who wants to keep costs low while still getting comfortable sleep, this was perfect. The low ceiling is a trade‑off for the price.
