Wonderful guest home for seeing a cool part of the
This was a really amazing experience. The hosts were so kind. They picked us up from and dropped us off at the metro station, offered food, and has a lovely place. There was a shared bathroom, but only a few people staying so there was never and issue. Highly recommend as this was a great spot

8/10 Very good

Super friendly hosts. Thank you, Jin! Upstairs was not so much as described or pictured, but overall we appreciated our room and it was about as expected for the pricing tier and Asian lodging in general. Should try for a softer pillow, and small table lamps in the bedroom versus the glary ceiling fixture.

Centrally located, not recommended for seniors or anyone with disabilities as the staircase is narrow and there is no handrail. Difficult to navigate with even carry on luggage. Had a virtual host which is fine and response was quick.

The hosts are amazing. They're very helpful. I only had issues taking my heavy suitcase up the long stairway. But the hosts helped me when I was leaving.

Jin was very kind and responsive, and the apartment was spotless! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again! Jin even let us keep our bags at the property for most of the day after checkout because our train home was in the evening.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very nice and patient, and most of the facilities/amenities were convenient and maintained well. It was a very quiet area, even being in a city there were no noticeable nightlife sounds. Also within 5-10 min walking distance of numerous food/shops/stations/and a park. While the important main areas like beds/baths/kitchen were kept clean, the common area was a bit too crowded with stuff to feel usable, and there was quite a bit of dust/grime buildup in various nooks like behind beds and appliances. Overall a very comfortable place to stay and well worth it.

A really nice option if you're on a budget and don't mind sharing the space with strangers. The host was very sweet and easy to communicate with. The location is very close to a lot of food and not too far from the subway station so it was pretty convenient. It was a very enjoyable stay.

We stayed at the family suite. The suite is below the ground level and is moldy. You do get a lot of space for the money with a private kitchen and a bathroom, and 2 small bedrooms. The owner is super nice and accommodating so i feel bad saying this but I cant recommend this moldy family suite.

Very clean facility. Nice owners. I just wish more detailed signs were provided in English on how to lock the door. The owner told me how when I arrived however I forgot after four days and locked the door incorrectly. I was also not able to find a working air conditioner so it was a bit hot at night. I would stay here again!

There was a lovely rooftop where I drank my coffee every morning. Coffee and simple breakfast foods were provided, as was a cold and hot water dispenser, which is important in a city where it isn't a good idea to drink the tap water. Laundry available was a plus, and the location is close to many restaurants, shops, and convenience stores.

At Wow Hills you will be treated with endless kindness and have the opportunity to make so many friends. It is great for solo travelers as you will never be alone unless that is your preference. Other guests joined me on my outings and I joined them on theirs also, giving me the opportunity to learn about Korean culture as well as the cultures of new friends. I don’t know what I would have done had I not found this guest house in my first tourist stay of Seoul. Our hosts never stop working to please their guests and they deserve the whole world! I am convinced they do not sleep for how hard they work, yet they are always smiling and making sure everyone else is smiling too. Being blessed to have met them is something I will never forget.

WOW is the correct word to describe this guest house. We have never met more kind, patient, and helpful, they greet you with warmth and show hosts than lovely Jin and her husband in Taik. Upon arrival, they home- where to find the breakfast items, how to operate the washing machine, and a tour of all the facilities. You ll find your room and all the common spaces to be clean and tidy as Jin is always working hard to keep up with the guests. She is quick to restock anything that maybe running low, so you ll never go without your coffee, tea, or snack. If you're interested in a guided tour at any point during your stay, we recommend contacting them ASAP after booking to inquire about the "KOREAN OPPA" service. It is popular so he gets booked up quickly, but the price is reasonable, and he is knowledgeable guide. We were able to hire him on one day of our trip and it was such a memorable outing with activities we wouldn't have thought of our own. He has customers who've hired him for years every time they come to South Korea, further indication of how great he is at what he does. Our room was comfortable and quiet. You should always expect to hear a little fun being had outside and in because you're in a lively part of the city, but its removed enough that you also get plenty of peace. Choosing to be in a guest house offers you the opportunity to make friends with others you the to make friends with other travelers, learn together, and even have friends to go out
