MY’s Hostel Stay: Hong Guest House, Seoul

After coming back from Jeju Island, we stayed in Hong Guest House for 3 nights which located near to Dong Dae Mun.

Location
The hotel is located in a small valley behind the main road. It took about 4 minutes walk from Jongro 5-ga subway station to reach the GH.
The GH is roughly 10 minutes walk to the shopping malls such as Migliore, aPM and Doota.

Price
Due to some booking error in their website, the GH gave us a 6 beds dorm for 4 of us.
Price range from 18,000-55,000 Won depends on the room type.

Hotel and Room
The hotel is a 4 storey building without lift, and it is run by a group of friends. They are the receptionist, the persons that do the housekeeping, and provide laundry service.
Every dorms/rooms in this GH come with attached bathroom. The room that we got is in the 4th floor and it is small in size as the room is squeezed with 3 bunk beds. The sun rise at around 4am during the summer in Korea, and too bad is that this guest house do not have curtain on the slightly big window, so I was awaked when the sun rise but I still able to fall asleep back.

Pictures:

Spot the Hong GuestHouse signboard at the small lane. It is easily access to.
