Most Value for money stay
Mr Naru, guesthouse owner, super friendly, always ever ready to help, with sightseeing, bicycle rental at Hangang River, postal services, restaurants reccomendation, fast food ordering and delivery, public bathhouse! Other good stuff we like about Naru Guesthouse: 1. Abundant free flow of food( oranges, strawberries, instant noodles, juices, coffee, tea, cereals, milk, etc. Even though, these are meant for breakfast, Mr Naru generously allows us to help ourselves freely to these foods any time of the day!! 2)there was washing machine and dryer which we can use use freely at NO CHARGE!! 3) Many great Korean eateries near guesthouse 4) pretty near, abt 5 mins walk( without luggage) GongDeok Subway station, exit 4. This subway station is linked to 4 different lines, which is great n convenient to go almost anywhere!

Worth the money!
I found my stay really worth my money. The hostel's location is really good, surrounded by many good restaurants, close to the subway that connects 4 lines and peaceful neighbourhood. The hostel's owner is such a nice guy, helping me fix my luggage! One drawback is only that I could hear people talking every night. However, overall is really good :)
