Stay Korea Hostel Review

We stayed 3 nights at Stay Korea II during our one week trip to Korea. The house is very nice and the facilities are good (computers, wifi, TV, kitchen, washing machine). The owner speaks English, French and Korean and is very helpful. She gave us a good introduction to Seoul, what to see, where to go and what to do. She also helped us to buy bus tickets when we were i China and had to buy them in advance. A light breakfast is included in the price. If you put your dirty clothes in the laundry basket in the evening they get washed and hung up the following morning. Very good service!

The room was clean, but I don't think that the bathroom was cleaned during our stay. The house is situated in a very quiet area, but it's impossible not to be woken up when someone enters or uses the kitchen in the middle of the night even though people tried to be very quiet. The room was heated by floor heating and was almost too warm. We had to sleep with the window open. You can feel the springs in the beds, but overall we slept ok. The guesthouse is located very close to the university area and there are lots of restaurants, cafés etc in the neighbourhood. The metro and the airport bus stops about 10 min walk from the guesthouse.

The guesthouse is very good value for money.
