Seoul Dalbit Dongdaemun Guesthouse

Excellent value for money. Closest to Dongmyo exit 7. Left out of exit 7, pass an office building with fir trees by the entrance. 1st right through a car park with lifting barrier, into a lane/alleyway. Building on the left. The Guest House is on 1st + 2nd floor (entrance ground floor) of a converted apartment block.Functional, unpretentious accommodation.Reliable hot water and kitchen facilities. Korean people are warm and genuine. Staff are helpful. Reception is staffed 12-4pm, with remote contact other times.

Small rooms, but the trade off is the price and accessibility. We were out all day and just slept there. This could be an issue if you want to spend time in your room. Heating is from A/C unit which is not very effective. This is off-set by toasty electric blankets, so not a bit deal.

We arrived early and they let us check in before 4pm - very delighted especially after long layovers. If you arrived after 4pm, the self check in is easy and guide is provided at Level2. The guesthouse owner is very helpful when I experienced some difficulties (you do need a KR number to contact her). I can see the staff did all the work. He's a bit unfriendly and hesitant probably due to lack of EN skills (defo not a big problem). The room is small but cozy - value for the price you pay. The towel is small but you can change it everyday. There's iron, washing machine, dryer, kitchen, common areas - just do whatever you need. Nobody really mind. I met some of the best people there and everyone is nice and welcoming. The location is THE BEST - 3 mins away from Line 6, 4, and 1 (main touristy line), 2 mins walk to GS25, Paik's Coffee, Sssada Gimbap (super cheap 24hr restaurant), 2 mins walk to the POPULAR stationary and toys alley and MANY MORE! Definitely recommended!

Its a bit small than you usual rooms - but can work around it. I suggest to provide bigger towels too. The bathroom sink can get clogged if you didnt clean the filter so make sure you do that! Besides these two, everything else is good and worth the money :)

the location, the price, indoor bathroom, easy self checkin. Tv is working. Air con dual function with heater is working. line 4 dongdaemun, one line with seoul station, myeongdong. Also near historical building at exit 9 the only exit with elevator as i know. just 5 mnt walk to airport bus stop across the street near exit 4. There is washing machine, water dispenser, microwave and stove in the 2nd floor.

twin bed occoupied the room, so little space for baggage near the door. The bathroom sometimes exude some smell. no lift, but the step is shallow so i can lift my big baggage easy.

good location, near 4 line subway same line with seoul station and myeongdong.with the bed in up bunk, so many space in the below for aranging ur suitcase.i looking for single room with indoor bathroom and find this guesthouse offer very good price. ac, exhaust fan, hair dryer and extention cord are provided in the room.

my room just beside the kitchen so sometimes u can smell the cooking food. but not too bothering, just u become hungry

2nd time in here, room 200 best for budget traveler. easy to arrange your luggage in below and sleep up in the bunk. i think its very equipped with important stuff, hairdryer, socket conection up in the bed, indoor bathroom.

there's mold below the bed, i think they can easily clean it if they notice. i simply avoid that area.

The guesthouse was in a convenient area and close to buses and the undeground. There were convenient stores very close by, a pharmacy, eateries and a couple of cozy cafes just across the street. It is ideally located if you want to explore the city. The staff was friendly and we were able to leave our luggage there and come back to check in later. We were left detailed instructions on how to check-in on our own. We were provided with towels, but be aware that it was was only tiny face-size towels, as it is generally the custom in Korea. The beds were comfortable and there was an A/C unit which heated the tiny room in very little time.

The staff was friendly but not easy to find as they only work 12-6pm when we would be out. The room was extremely small for a double room. We supposedly had paid just a little extra when choosing our room from the choices given to have a little leg space but were disappointed to find out we were put in the smallest one. However, it was late when we got to the hotel and no staff were available to ask to change. The next day again we left earlier than the staff would come to work so we never had a chance to talk about this.

it was really goodall you needed in the kitchen every body nice and friendly.

could do with new decoration but it was fine.

It was OK for the money, location is good, really close to subway station. You can walk about 20 minutes to famous street foor market. Clean facilities, nice kitchen to use. Bed were comfy.

It was close to the metro and around had various restaurants that were open until late

Towels are too small, we had to buy our own towels

For the price of staying in a shared dormitory bed, the private room at Dalbit is probably the best value in Seoul.

When you open the window, smoke from the floor below or next door filled the room quickly. When you close the windows you have to sleep with the air conditioning and wake up with a soar throat
