    A wonderful place in Seoul

    I traveled with family (2 adults, 1 child) and we had a space with two separate beds. It was very comfortable. Breakfast was tasty and hearty. Host (Paul) was very hospitable and kind enough to drove me by his car at metro station during rain. A special thanks to Paul for keeping our bags while we were traveling in Busan

    There was no facility at the railway station or part of town to access my wow pass so I had to travel to Seoul station to get money

    The owner went out of his way to be helpful

    Everything was great.

    Cozy and clean place for a long stay. Nice attention to detail. Relaxed view of the garden. A nice and quiet area with villas, near the river and the national park. It is very convenient to get to the center by bus or metro. Extraordinary owner Paul, attentive, interesting, pleasant to communicate. Delicious breakfast every morning. Thank you very much. I will be happy to come back.

    Fantastic accommodation at Puzzlestay, very highly recommended. Very welcoming, comfy bed, and super quiet at night, with a spacious communal guest area also. Definitely worth the subway trip to be further out of the city centre, for a restful night's sleep and nearer the fresh mountain air. Spotlessly clean throughout.

    Paul was an exceptional host and made our stay in Seoul very special and made us feel at home. The breakfast changed every day and delicious. The rooms and the common space provided were spacious, clean and well designed. We would always stay here when coming back to Seoul!!!

    Nothing!

    I absolutely love the homemade breakfast made by Paul and his wife every morning. Paul was kind enough to pick me up from the airport bus station late at night and offered me to leave the luggage after check out (I didn't notify him in advance). The neighborhood is fantastic the the Bukhansan is just 20 minutes walk away from the guesthouse.

    The only downside was the AC in our room, it was quite loud but we needed to keep it running because of the heatwave at the time of our stay.

    It is a lovely guesthouse close to the Bukhansan Nationalpark. The owner was incredibly friendly and we got a delicious handmade breakfast. Everything is clean and comfortable, we had a wonderful stay - Thank you Paul :)

    We loved this place. Best place to stay off you visit Seoul. We felt so welcome and nothing is to much for the owner. The first night he walked with us to show which restaurants were open late. Every morning he served a wonderful breakfast. I am gluten intolerant so the bought special bread and cakes for me. When we left je carried my back all the way to the bus station. The bus and metro to go into the city are both nearby.

    Absolutely nothing! But I have one suggestion, to have it written in the room (I know everyone knows it but good to repeat…) for being environmentally conscious, please consider reusing towels and leave the air conditioning off whenever not necessary…

    Everything was way above my expectations even though by reading previous comments i had already high expectations!. Paul is great and together with his wife they are very kind, nice and welcoming hosts. I could have not thought of one thing which was missing and hypothetically if there would have been something Paul (or his wife) would take care of it immediately. From the moment of arrival, when Paul picked me up by his car from nearby bus station to the moment that i left and both of them waved me farewell, all was at best!. The vale for money was excellent (I tried one or two other more expensive places in korea but definitely many many in Europe, possibly this was the best in that regard). Location was also excellent, I felt pity though that I didn’t manage to visit nearby mountain and National park(next time!). And not to forget, lovely homemade breakfasts (even the breads and yoghurts were home made).

    Nothing. I love everything

    I like everything. The house, the owner, the location, the breakfast, the room. The best part the WC come with bidet. Really thankful for that. The owner willingly to pick u up and drop u off to the nearest train station but let him know prior so he can prepare that for you. Love everything. The neighbourhood was quite and peaceful and if u got time u can go hiking at the nearby mountain like seriously close with the house.

    Everything was absolutely amazing. Paul and his wife are very attentive and a pleasure to stay with. They took care of all our needs. I highly recommend to use the provided pick-up car from the subway station. It's an easy walk without luggage but with all your stuff it's a bit exhausting 😅 Breakfasts were absolutely lovely 😍 homemade bread and yoghurt were delicious.

    Paul and his wife are amazing hosts! Their house is new and modern, extremely clean and the room has everything what you might need. The house is located close to metro station and to the bus station, but the taxis are very affordable you can also reach city center for 10-12 euros.

    Paul, together with his wife, were very nice and accommodating hosts. We wish we could have stayed longer. At first we thought that this guest house was a bit far from the main sightseeing points of the city, but with the metrostation close by that was not really any issue. Highly recommend staying here when you visit Seoul. The breakfast was also included and amazing. Thank you so much Paul!
