The location was great for visiting landmarks, palaces and even hiking Inwansan. It’s a traditional Korean setup with heated floors which was a very nice touch.
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.
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!
Very nice guesthouse, traditional korean style in a very lively area and extremely helpful staff. We had a very pleaseant stay and would come back during a future visit.
Hotel staff is very friendly and very kind. I hope to stay this hotel everytime when I visit to Seoul.
Breakfast is excellent. Bibimba is tradititional Korean food name.
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!
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!
