Seoul Forest Stay Guesthouse Reviews

Excellent! The owner, a young man, was very kind and could speak English, Korean, and Chinese. He patiently and thoroughly showed me around the guesthouse and explained everything. The single room was a bit small but clean and tidy. It came with a toothbrush, toothpaste, facial cleanser, shower gel, conditioner, shampoo, a table lamp, a hairdryer, heating, air conditioning, and toilet paper. Towels were available in the common area.

The owner is very nice and speaks Chinese. It's also convenient for getting around. They even gave me a twin room, even though I booked a single. It's a three-minute walk to the subway, and there are coffee shops and Oy nearby. I did kill a cockroach in the bathroom, but since it's a private bathroom, it's not a big deal.

The hostel is clean, strategically located, and the staff are friendly. Even though it's a small hostel, it provides all guest necessities with great detail and completeness (body care, facial care, even contact lens solution). The hostel's location is very close to the subway station. Thank you, Mr. Richard, the friendly and welcoming owner.

This is my second time staying here, and I'm still choosing this place. Thanks to the owner for arranging a room upgrade; it was a very comfortable stay, and all the amenities were well-prepared.

Very clean, a comfortable stay, and the scent diffuser smelled wonderful.

the host of guesthouse, Mr. Richard, who is nice and easy to talk with. and the price is affordable in such location.

Very helpful

The hotel explanations were given in English, so it was easy to understand. Perhaps because I booked more than six months in advance, I was able to get a spacious room with two beds even though I was staying alone, which was very relaxing. The refrigerator is shared so I didn't use it, but since there is no ondol directly inside the room, it was nice and cool throughout the night, which was very helpful. I was a little worried about the tiles on the bathroom wall, which were warped in places, but the gaps have been filled with caulking so it should be fine. I would definitely stay here again if I'm staying in Ttukseom again.

I had such a comfortable stay!!!!! It was so nice! If I ever come to Seoul Forest again, I'll definitely stay here! Thank you!

Richard, the front desk (and owner?), was very friendly and spoke fluent English. I checked in very late, but I was able to check in without any problems via email. It's difficult to get through on the phone, so I recommend contacting them by email. The location is conveniently close to the station and quiet at night. There are plenty of cafes nearby. It's close to Seongsu, so we were able to explore a lot. The bathroom (shower) is shared, but reasonably clean. Above all, it's reasonably priced, so I highly recommend it for people who are used to staying in guesthouses. I'd definitely stay here again if I come to Seoul.

I was looking for a place to stay nearby because my favorite pop-up store was being held there, and I found this place just around the corner. It was so convenient! It's close to the station, and there's also DAISO, fast food restaurants, and Gong Cha. I stayed in a single room. The room had a large bed and a built-in air conditioner. It had a small table, light, mirror, hair dryer, etc. It was perfect since I was only there to sleep! I'm still not used to the Korean style of showering in the bathroom, but it's within my reach. 🙋♀️ The only refrigerator was in the shared kitchen, and I had to bring my own cup for the water dispenser, so I ended up not using it. There was an amenity corner in the hallway with towels, toothbrushes, and other items, so I used those. The owner spoke to me in both Korean and English. When I checked in, he even went out of his way to prepare a chair for me, saying, "Please sit here and wait while we wait because he has to deal with the previous guest!" He even carried my heavy suitcase up the stairs, and even asked me where I was from. He was very friendly and made conversation with me. He was a very nice person. 😊👍 The hotel also has a balcony, which seems like a nice place to spend the time depending on the season. The accommodations were friendly, and the room smelled lovely. I'm glad I stayed here. Thank you very much. 😊

The owner was very friendly. The location is good and there's no problem with food. There was a bit of noise in the middle of the night, but the price is reasonable so it's tolerable. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a great time in Songsu. There is no elevator, so it may be difficult for people with large luggage.

It's so close to SJ Supermarket! It was so nice to wait for the entrance email after getting a number! The owner is a travel-loving young man who speaks Chinese. He's very welcoming and very friendly to solo travelers!

Even though I checked in late, they left me a letter, so I felt at ease. I thought there would only be one bed in the single room, but it was a two-bedroom room, so it was spacious and comfortable. The location is great, and you can use two lines, Seoul Forest Station and Ttukseom Station on Line 3, so it's easy to get to anywhere. The owner was very kind and nice. The guests were also well-mannered, so I'd like to stay here again. The hotel does not have an elevator, so it may be difficult for people with large or heavy luggage. The entrance is a little hard to find...I was worried because it was dark, but once I entered, I was soothed by the cute, homey space. There is also a laundry service, but it seems there is one for a fee. There is no TV in the room, but there is a shared kitchen and a rooftop terrace, so I was able to stay comfortably for two nights. Thank you very much.
