    If you travel with heavy luggages and small kids, staying at the 4th floor maybe not your first choice as no lift available

    Location. The place is very close with the main attractions and (Palaces, Bukchon village), 7eleven, and the train station.

    Gem of a place for the price of the stay

    Others might not appreciate the self service style of the guesthouse with its code key access to the premise when staff are away but we can appreciate the ease of entry and exit. It was also not so easy to find at first but once you're there and used to the quintessential small streets of older Seoul, it is not a problem at all. While not absolutely important to us, others might have to get used to the idea of a very non-American wet room for the bathroom.

    The location is perfect, close to key placed to visit and eat, and with easy access to public transportation to everything including the airport! There are also great restaurants of all price ranges nearby. Service is excellent as well, with very responsive and friendly staff. No problem with language as the family who runs the guesthouse can both speak English and use the latest technology in language translations. Think Pappago! While not the most modern of places, the price, efforts at cleaning and the friendliness and service make up for the lack of luxury.

    The people living in the area above the room were a little noisy, but that is their fault and not Beewon's fault. The only thing that could be a problem for taller people is that the bed sheets are a bit short, and your feet may stick out. However, overall, there wasn't really anything I didn't like.

    Beewon Guesthouse has clean rooms and is located within walking distance of great historical sites in Seoul. The bedrooms have all the basic necessities. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is a community kitchen with all the appliances needed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

    The mattresses on the beds were very thin. Ok if you sleep on your back or stomach, but not very comfortable if you sleep on your sides.

    Internets worked well and the host at the check-in desk was nice. Nice to have the water filter station. Walkable to many restaurants and cultural attractions.

    It was a small space, and the bed was adequate for sleep, it would have been nice to have a lamp or less harsh light at night. For the price, location, and amenities, though, it was totally worth it!

    The managers were very friendly and accommodating, they had a luggage storage, hot and cold water available and a nice kitchen area in the back. The room was simple but had everything we needed and more: A/C, a bathroom with shower, disposable amenities. Location was close to subway, airport bus, Insadong and the Ikseondong Hanok village with tons of cool restaurants and alleys to explore!

    Only small thing was there was rarely anybody at the desk, so we would have had to message them if we needed something.

    Great place. Staff were friendly and beds were comfortable. There was also a bath which is a rare site in hotels! Great to have free cold and hot water available. Free laundry facilities on the rooftop including drying area.

    Excellent location, close to main temples. A bit dated but comfortable and quiet. Late night self-check-in was handy. Bus 6011 from Incheon airport takes you really close (about 150-200 metres on foot). It has a roof terrace and a washing machine, a microwave in a modest kitchen. About 400 metres south of the guesthouse is a bustling eating-out street (running in east-west direction), loads of younsters sitting indoors and outdoors. Liked a sensible and sleek restaurant Tone & Carat www.tone-carat.com. Would stay again.

    We ended up canceling the second stay because the beds and pillows were too hard I'm not usually too fussed but had to agree with my partner on this one. Also would be nice to get a nightlight the light was very bright at night.

    Great location close to insadong, good place with free water
