    Room wifi was a bit unstable so I’d have to use other room’s until it kicked me off.

    Great value and service

    There is a small leak in the faucet, but it was not a big deal.

    I like the place because it is so homey and it has all we needed. The sheets and beddings are clean.

    It was one of my best stay in Seoul among my trips there so far!!

    The owner/staff are very responsive to all of my inquiries before I arrived. Even though she couldn't speak English that well, Google Translate will be enough to help. I arrived earlier than my check-in time, and they allowed me to leave my stuffs for me to go somewhere else first. Then, they even put my stuffs in my room upon the check-in time. The check-in was a breeze and when I got into my room, I was so happy that the room basically exceeded my expectations. I can say that the room was comfortable, cozy, and worth the money paid. It has all the basic necessities and if you don't have it in the room, you can always go to the front desk and ask for it. The guest house is very accessible by bus. There are a number of buses that pass by right in front of the guest house and also at the main junction that is 5-10 minutes walk away from it. However, the nearest train station could be a little bit far (more walk) from the guest house. I have been using the bus for 90% of my transportation mode for this trip, which I found very easy and fun! There are also many shops, cafes, restaurants, and a CU Mart nearby the guest house! The guest house prepare a simple breakfast for the guests and I love this part of the day because I can meet many other guests from all over the world and have a or listen to their conversation, and exchange our experiences and stories. They also have a laundry service at an extra fee, but I happened to come across a coin laundry nearby (although I haven't try it yet), so I think the facilities there are complete and enough at a very reasonable price. This was one of my best stay in Seoul so far among all of my trips here! I think Kimstay 9 Guest House has become another favourite accommodation in Seoul to me!

    The room was a bit small for two people with luggage.

    The owner was very friendly, helpful and always had a smile on her lips. The apartment was very comfortable, very clean, quiet and we appreciated the bathroom for ourselves that comes with each room. Another plus was the high water pressure of the shower (best we experienced in Seoul so far).

    No socket in the bathroom, too small trash bin, they didn't empty it. Too hard bed, English just by Google Translate.

    Bed warmer, nice view to the blossoming street, floor heating. Super close to the market.

    The rooms obviously aren‘t perfect and the water in the shower took a little while to get warm.

    It‘s been my second time staying here. The woman at the front desk is very friendly.

    considering the price, the room was good! basic, but clean and the facilities were good, and was comfortable for my short stay. aside from occasional traffic, it was very quiet too. the staff were friendly and helpful, and there were a lot of places to eat around the area (though unfortunately because of seollal most places were closed while i was there). if i'm passing through seoul again, i'd consider staying here again!!

    Breakfast was sober. I literally couldn’t eat anything because of my diabetes. There was just bread and cereals. No yoghurt, no eggs…

    The room was warm, which is pleasant in January.

    Cold air came in from the window and we only had heated mattresses, so it was cold at night, but the lady was very kind and said if she knew she could have given us a small heater, so make sure you ask if you feel cold! For the room we stayed, we only got two blankets for three people, because one was a double bed so that was a bit disappointing. Must take the bus to get to the subway station, kind of far to walk there, something to keep in mind for other guests!

    For the price this place is really good! I was very pleased that there was a small breakfast in the morning. Place is clean and has anything you need if you are just staying there for sleeping and washing.
