Kimchi Guest House Jongno

I went back in 2018 it was a great place, the owner left frozen bread and strawberry jam. It was really delicious and I often think of this place.

I stayed here via Airbnb. It was in an optimal location for visiting Seoul's famous attractions, and it had the advantages of multiple bathrooms, multiple rooms, and the experience of staying in a traditional Korean house (Hanok).

However, the air conditioner was incredibly dirty because they never cleaned it. Eventually, we, who were only staying for a short time, cleaned it ourselves. The host, however, seemed unaware of the need for cleaning and left a negative review about us. They left a bad review accusing us of being entitled to cleanliness.

Since we were staying in a Hanok in the middle of summer, it was extremely hot, and we had no choice but to turn on the air conditioner. When we slept with the air conditioner on at night, the mold inside caused eye irritation and dry skin in the morning. Because it was summer, there were many drain flies. We couldn't get by without an electric fly swatter.

Additionally, the bedding smelled strongly of mold, and the single mattress was uncomfortable because the center was deeply sagged. There was also a lot of dust between the mattress fibers. Although there were plenty of blankets, we couldn't use them comfortably due to the unpleasantness.

The dust in the photo shows the condition of the air conditioner after we cleaned it. After cleaning, dust that had been simmering inside kept coming out.

I am simply ashamed in front of the foreign guests who stay here. Unless the host takes responsibility for cleaning and maintenance, I hope no one else suffers the same fate as me. Even one star is too much.

有停车位，老板友善，房间灰尘多、面积小，配有便携式厕所，毯子发霉且脏。

It is located past the villas and further inside, so I didn't expect to find a Hanok and ended up wandering around a bit.

The accommodation offers good value for money. The owner is kind, and even though it is winter, the room is incredibly warm. The bathroom in the yard also has a heater, so it is warm and not cold.

The facilities are a bit old and there is some dust in the corners, but the bedding is relatively clean.

You can manage a simple breakfast with fried rice, dumplings, milk, eggs, bread, and kimchi in the refrigerator. I considered cooking, but it was too much of a hassle, so I asked the owner to recommend a restaurant for breakfast and ate there instead.

Very nice, hospitable, traditional, very warm in winter too, because of the heated floor system.

房东很友善。

靠近地铁站，附近有很多餐饮选择。

但是，有轻微的下水道气味，地铁会有些震动，而且有一些小虫子。
