Namsan Forest Guesthouse

Location is good for travelling to many attractions place. It's also close to subway station and bus station. All facility is in good conditions such as toilet, air condition, shared kitchen, washing machine.

It's hard to contact staff. Can contact staff via only Pad at waiting room. I tried to contact via phone, Email, booking message but hardly get reply.

Hotel is only a short walk from central Myeongdong, with a quick access to both, the tube and the buses. There are cafes, restaurants and an EMart within a few minutes from the hotel. Room was well-equipped and relatively clean. Nothing too crazy, but comfortable, convenient and more than enough for tired people after hours of sightseeing.

communication with the host could be a bit better, we've agreed on an additional bed weeks in advance yet it wasn't there when we've arrived, causing a bit of a chaos for the next 24 hours, thankfully all was resolved.

the location is great, the building and rooms are fine, a bit oldish but its just what you need. it is close to the metro station and you’re less than 30min away from all main areas in Seoul. the room is big and spacious, has a shower and a separated sink and toilet.

the check in process is being handled online and you need to send texts through an ipad and wait for the host to reply. which can take long. it isnt very convenient. for the payment, it was difficult to agree on timings to meet.

Loved how close it was to the heart of Myeongdong, only a short walk to the markets and super close to Namsan Tower! Felt super safe whilst staying my first week in South Korea here. I arrived early and was able to leave my luggage in the reception room so that I could go out and explore. The AC was amazing and super quiet so it didn't disrupt my sleep. Probably the best sleep I have ever had, the bed was perfect.

Then bathroom probably could've been cleaned a bit better but honestly I couldn't think of really anything else that stood out to me.

Perfect value for money. Excellent location to Myeongdong and 5-6min walk or less to Exits 2345678+ from which many of the tours offer pickup or drop-off options👍🏻😀 Very comfortable raised queen bed, private shower ( handheld) toilet, fridge, hairdryer (if it switches off let it cool, then restart 😇) A bistro table+ 2 chairs on a narrow enclosed balcony. Loved eating breakfast there and kept the sliding doors open to enjoy the breeze. There is air con which I didn't use being March!!! And the floors are heated❤️ 1/2 Kitchen on Level F and you can use the utilities... everyone cleans up! Also laundry machines downstairs. Note: you will need COINS no paper .money. Easy self check-in via iPad attached to the wall under the bulletin board. Host emails or text messages passwords for door and WiFi. Think it appears briefly in the pad. I simply snapped a photo and saved it in my gallery😈 Yes it's a slightly older building but well cared for, at that price who dares complain!! I plan to rebook and give Namsan Forest with its almost hidden entrance a solid *9:10* for all the positive aspects .. Great Seoul on a Budget with a little extra extra!

Noisy tenants !!! Amazing that in this day and age people come in and talk at full volume or thunder down the hallway! The walls are thinner so being considerate is very much appreciated. Take your loud family chats outside😎

The spacious room and the facilities

The hot tap water temperature unstable Front Desk not customer friendly since have to deal with iPad

The location was strategic. A walking distance to halal eateries, Myeongdong Night Market, food stalls (night time at MNM) and cosmetic & beauty outlets. Nearby Myeongdong Station too.

1. Bath towels you have to acquired from the front desk. Not provided inside the room. 2. My room was not exactly as advertised. 3. Only 1 dryer and 1 washer in the laundry that works. A long wait if someone is using both machine earlier than you. 4. Communication by message (after check in) was poor.

Clean, near public transport. Portable electric plate Kitchen utensils Luggage Storage room on payment at ground floor

No response on messages/chat. Not informed by hotel that late self checkin is at level F(third floor) through message chat on wall mounted tablet screen Blankets very small and thin only 2 blankets for 2 double beds, not good enough for family of 4. No remotes in the room for split system. No room heating was provided. Just hand towels were provided, no full size bath towel.

room is good. location is pretty good, very close to Myeong dong Market. But to reach Namsan Forest, we need little bit extra effort, the location is a bit uphill. but next to it there is an e-mart, you can shop for snacks. Overall, OK

if you walk to uphill.. a little bit tired, but only 5 minuets..hehe

The location is quite strategic however it is slightly further up hill. The housekeeping staff was great and helpful. We had a good stay. Another tip for whoever who is planning for the trip in Korea, their taxi is affordable and advisable to always have the location address in Korean. It helps to better communicate with the drivers.

The check in procedure will test ur patience. Just be patient to wait for their reply.
