    It's not really clean(especially underneath the bed and the towel had a smell on it but was acceptable 🤔) . Plus the design of the toilet is a bit weird, after the bath, it's difficult to clean the hair that is stuck at the drain hole. Which makes the water difficult to flow.

    The bed is comfy. Suitable for people who wanna pay for a place to sleep and don't wanna spend too much money on hotels.

    The absence of a floor heating system makes the room freezing cold during the harsh winter in Seoul. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend staying here in winter.

    Cheap, good location, clean

    There was no one to take care of, all self checkin/self checkout. No one to handle your query(Although I didn’t had any). The bed coverings need to clean. Its feels really an unhygienic place.

    Easily accessible, Situated in a very nice location, Felt good about the location only

    You get what you paid for. The room is too small, there is barely any space after you put 2 small luggages on the floor.

    Good location, near to food market and other attractions.

    As other guests pointed out the place is filthy, dusty, they did not change the the bed sheet from previous customers, they had nasty organic stains. It is a shame because the place got plenty potential. Nasty smell of sewage , and the sink was clogged. Despite the no smoking signs, people were clearly smoking, and the smell penetrate in the room. Overall if you're looking for a cheap accommodation maybe that's is a perfect place for you.

    Centrally located, great if you're travelling on a small budget.

    The room was very small and there was no wardrobe. It wasn't that clean when we got the key and it wasn't cleaned for the two weeks we were there. The pictures of the guesthouse and the rooms were taken a long long time ago.

    The location of the guesthouse is very good, there are two metro lines nearby. The neighborhood was also fine.

    I wish I could have had breakfast there while making friends and sharing staff...I've spent my first 3 days in Korea there and it was kind of sad and boring...Also, please write locker instead of shoe rack.

    Hello everyone I've stayed at the Dalbit Dongdaemun Guesthouse some time ago (august 2022) and my mind is still at the shampoo they had there!!! may sound weird but, my hair has never been so nice as after I washed it there! I still want to know what shampoo they use because I cannot find a good one for my hair anywhere.:)) There is a sign there "No parties", I think people take it too serious...I stayed there for 3 days but I have barely talked with anyone...No one really cooks in the kitchen and I didn't see anyone having breakfast there... I am not sure if they actually serve breakfast...In other words it is a quite place, way too quite, but if you're ok, than you'll love it there. Also if you do the self check in, there will be a paper with the instructions for you, it says the card key is in the shoe rack but they actually meant the locker at the entrance.:))

    The staff was unfriendly. We’ve arrived to the hotel around 12pm after long flight and sleepless night and asked if it could be possible to check in earlier than 4pm, in case if a room is ready already. however , the guy at the reception started raising his tone and saying that we should’ve read the check-in rules. Instead of almost yelling , he could just say- no , it’s impossible 🥲

    Good wifi , clean , good price/quality

    There is air conditioner placed right above the bed and the bed is below the ceiling. So you are really close to it when you sleep. Also it make noises from time to time and I almost had a heart attack when I slept. Also there is no window. And there is no elevator for your suitcase.

    The room is small but you can fit even a giant suitcase in there. The room and bathroom was clean, without any weird smell.
