Lovely, but not for everyone

Let me start off by saying that my family and I had an absolutely wonderful 4 days in Seoul, and part of that was staying at the Bibimbap Guesthouse. However, it is important to note that this place is not for everyone! For us, the location was absolutely incredible. We are big walkers, and we didn't take the subway or a taxi once (except to the airport) - you can walk everywhere from here! It is also right near a fabulous 'food street' which is bustling every night with different restaurants and bars. The rooms are clean, the atmosphere is lovely (both my husband and I had work-related calls we had to take, and it was just so wonderful to sit out in the courtyard - almost like we weren't working!). Leo, the young proprietor, speaks outstanding English, and all of the staff we encountered there were friendly and helpful, even when language was a barrier! However, it is important to note that it is very 'minimalist', with mattresses on the floor, a teeny tiny bathroom/shower, hand towels only, nowhere in the room to sit or put anything down other than the floor, and the soundproofing between rooms isn't great. I kept wondering what the experience would have been like for my parents, who are in their 70s and have bad knees etc?! Also, 'breakfast' is a freeze-dried 'cup noodles' and water, so don't be fooled into thinking this is a 'B&B'. I was looking forward to fresh Bibimbap in the morning, but instead we ate out (I need my coffee). So, not for everyone, but worked for us!

キレイで快適の韓屋ゲストハウス

移転オープンしたばかりでキレイです。韓屋にしてはめずらしく室内にシャワーとトイレがあるのも◎中庭もあるのでここでお茶しても気持ちよさそうです。 景福駅、バス停からも徒歩5分程度で便利でした！ 朝ごはんは私は時間がなくて食べませんでしたが、セルフでビビンバが食べられます！

Great location. Close to everything. Wonderful English speaking owner. It’s a hanok so they don’t normally use a big bath towel. They just give you a small hand towel. The floors are heated. I liked the Bibimbap breakfast. The pillow is a little flat so probably better if they provide two. All in all, a very good value for money. Would highly recommend.

今、ビビンバゲストハウスの周りの街は、行くたびにお店が出来ていて、オシャレな店が増えて、人も多く賑やかになっています。立地が良くてとても、便利。 オーナーさんは若くて、ラインを介して話もできるし、不便がないかと話しかけてくれます。 自分の家にいるみたいに、干渉されることなく自由に使えます。

シーツが洗ってないのか、布団についた匂いなのか、ちょっと気になりました。 が、それ以外は大満足です。近所はオシャレ区域になってて、デートや女の子のグループがたくさんいました。 バイトのお兄さんも気さくで、何かと世話を焼いてくれました。 建物は古いけど、リフォームしてあって綺麗でした。

キレイなゲストハウス

ひとり旅で利用。2回目です。オーナーが親切。場所は仁寺洞近く、おしゃれな益善洞地区にあります。カフェ、バーなどたくさんあります。 韓屋でトイレ、シャワー付き。 部屋はシンプルです。小さなテーブルが一つ、テレビ、エアコン有り。 アメニティはボディソープ、シャンプー、歯磨き粉、タオルは毎日一枚。ドライヤー有り。別棟に台所、冷蔵庫などがあり、フリードリンク、朝食有り（ビビンバ、トースト） トイレの中にシャワーがあるタイプ。清掃が行き届いているし、床はすぐに乾くし、シャワーサンダルがあるのであまり気にならない。ただトイレがビシャビシャになるから拭かないとダメ。私は捨ててもいいタオル二枚くらいもっていって、足拭きマット、雑巾にしてました。 布団があるので寝転べます。机で作業や食事がしたい場合は中庭のテーブルで。 数人で泊まると、トイレシャワーが使いにくいと思いますが、ひとり旅には良い宿です。

We really loved it!

This place is not cheap, but totally worth every penny. First, the location is fantastic - you can walk to most places you'd like to see, and it's near a tube station with 3 different lines. Mind blowing number of restaurants and cafes nearby, and the whole area is super cute (personally I thought it was much better than the guidebook-recommended Bukchon Hanok village). Second, the staff is super friendly and helpful, allowed us to check in way before the "official" time, and were super helpful with advice. Third, facilities are great. Sleeping is in traditional Korean rooms, but on not-so-traditional mattresses - so much more comfortable than standard futons! Bathrooms and rooms very clean, no problems with hot water. There is a bibimbap each morning for breakfast, and tea/coffee making facilities, you can also cook if you get supplies. There is air con in the room but we didn't need it even though outside it was quite hot - the rooms stayed cool. Highly recommended, one of our favourites during our Korea trip!

Friendly little time capsule

Bibimbap is a cute little place, with super-friendly staff. I arrived far too early for checkin; in spite of that, Leo let me into the courtyard, gave me the royal tour and the WiFi password, and friended me on Facebook. He told me that if I had any problems anywhere, to send him a message and he'd help. Fantastic friendliness. That said, the guesthouse is not a full-service hotel. Don't expect it to be. The rooms are quite small, and furnished with only a TV and futon mattress. Also, bring your own bath towel. But, surprisingly, the clothes washer is available... for free! Dryer costs just a little bit extra. But the value is tremendous, and the people truly make this place great. Also, the location turned out to be much quieter than I expected, given its position in a busy neighborhood. There are places along the alleys that have good food and good desserts. It's located near the Jongno 3-ga subway station, just a short walk away. I'd recommend this place to anyone!
