So far from the station. They have no elevator and i stayed at 4th floor. Their pillows are so thin and small. I can't sleep with it. But can go to the convenience shop at the corner. The bathroom looks too old ,and the room's smell was so bad. And the last one the room is not soundproof. So I can hear the room next to me talked and laughed all night.
Staff was really nice and helpful.
BUT the bed was disgustingly dirty, so much so that I literally slept on the floor. The flush on the toilet was broken. If it wasn't for those issues the hotel would be super lovely, but I just can't with the bedding.
My girlfriend and I stayed at the YaKorea hostel in Hongdae during our first visit to Seoul in June 2018. We found out when we got there that the amenities are shared with the nearby Kimchee Sinchon Guesthouse, which was also where we checked in. The staff were very professional, friendly and even showed us around Hongdae. Akira and Dan were very accommodating and friendly.
I would definitely come again and recommend both YaKorea and Kimchee to friends and family. Thank you everyone for showing us such a good time! We made memories we will never forget.
