极差
Cons:

在BOOKING预定该酒店时，入住需知中并未告知仅女性入住，全程仅酒店英文名提示了仅女士入住。所有中文提示均未提及，怀疑房东故意不告知在入住需知中，第一：请问谁会专门去看一长窜的酒店英文名？第二：对于不懂英文的人不来不就只能入住时被口头告知才能知道了吗？导致我和老公到达首尔当地时无法入住，临时在旅游旺季找房。
后续是预定了五晚，和房东协商将后面四晚退掉，房东拒绝。第一次在booking预定就遇到如此糟心的事情，booking也无法协商处理，以后不会再定。

I have never ever in my entire 50+ years life experienced rudeness like this.
Cons:

Beware of this landlady! After checking in and saying hello to her in the afternoon I was kicked out into the street after 9 PM in the evening with nowhere to sleep.

I’m not really sure what happened because even though she only hosts non-korean guests she does not speak English. She sent messages to me through another woman from China (who didn’t speak English either) I think the landlady had made some kind of double booking and eventually decided she did not like me. Suddenly, she ‘remembered’ a rule that women 50+ of age were not welcome and I was then kicked out.

I gave her some Danish Anthon Berg chocolate because a person like that obviously needs sweetness in her life. So, if you want to stay with her please bring her a lot of compassion.

PS.: You cannot lock your room when you leave it. It only locks from the inside.

Highly recommended
Pros:

I stayed in the single room here and really enjoyed it! The room was cozy and comfortable, with a single bed and a makeup table, so I had plenty of personal space. The shared bathroom wasn’t an issue at all - you can usually just time it so you don’t run into other guests.

It’s a really good choice for solo travelers who don’t want to share a room in a hostel. The host was also super nice and helpful. She even carried my suitcase downstairs for me when I was trying to catch an early flight, which I really appreciated! I only stayed for one night, but if I travel to Seoul alone again, I’ll definitely book this room again.

Cons:

Nothing

但房間內只有一個插座， 建議帶一個轉接頭+延長線比較方便！個人房空間很足夠，但其他兩間室友都把行李箱放外面><
Pros:

房間很乾淨！房東很友善～💕
平常出門去弘大 🚌公車搭麻浦06班次很多 10分鐘到
有行李的話叫uber 🚕 到弘大大概$110-130台幣 可接受的範圍
附近也有很多漂亮的咖啡廳！晚上周遭很安靜

Cons:

行李很重的話搬行李有點痛苦
如果其他房間的室友半夜在外面聊很晚的話會被影響🥲
但這都比較是個人跟運氣問題

お母さんの愛が溢れるソウルの実家的存在！

気分よく過ごすことができました^^
バスルームもお母さんが毎日綺麗に掃除してくれているので
気持ちよく使用することができて有難かったです。
ベッドが寝心地が良くふかふかで快適でした。
お母さんは優しくて気遣いもしてくれて最高のお宿でした。
また韓国に行く際は泊まりたいと思います！

特にないです！

It was a disgrace and caused me tremendous discomfort, any inconvenience she should not do this business
Pros:

None

Cons:

I only asked the lady whether I could change the sheets or to laundry and she got upset that I asked asked those questions and she asked me to leave the mattress and the Shih Tzu were dirty and stinky and the sink drain at all
