Yeonnam Rooftops
The rooftop apartment is clean and nice. The ceiling is quite low so if you're above 175cm tall, it might be a bit uncomfortable. Also, the shower/bathroom space is quite cramped. But, the beds are nice, you have immediate access to the rooftop garden space, and it's quiet. Plus, it's nested in the incredible foodie paradise of Yeonnamdong.

Very Satisfied
This guesthouse was very clean and in a perfect neighborhood for good food and drinks. The manager was kind and almost immediately available when I arrived unannounced. The bed is hard but that can be overlooked because of the overall cleanliness, condition, and cost of this stay. Very satisfied.

The alleyways can get a bit confusing but the guesthouse overall was fantastic and the host was very accommodating to my needs. I was very thankful to stay here and was a great area to explore!

Second stay here. Utterly disappointing!
My wife and I stayed here 3 years ago and it was lovely. So, we wanted a weekend break in Seoul and we thought we'd try it again. What a mistake. Three years have passed and the guesthouse has gone completely downhill. Our room was stuffy, uncomfortable and the bathroom was disgusting. I don't think anyone cleans that bathroom because there was mold growing between the wall tiles. We asked to have our room changed but they could only change our room on the final night of our stay. The room they moved us to was better, but the bathroom was still dirty. Overall our stay was very bad. It's a relief that the guesthouse is in a fantastic area. We tried to stay outside and explore Seoul as much as we could, just so we didn't have to go back to the room. Utterly disappointing.

I Seoul this place
This place is located in a wonderful area and a 10 minute walk to the subway station (Hongik Univ. Station). Also nearby is Hongdae and great artist neighborhood and much more to do and eat. The hotel has good service and it even provided a breakfast (cereal/toast). The owner was wonderful and made himself available for anything we may have needed.

Fantastic!
My daughter was going to college at Yonsei so she went a few days early to adjust to the time change. Getting there (flight cancellations, delays, another cancellation) was a challenge. But the owners and staff at the Haemil Guest house were amazing! First they sent detailed info on how to get there. Step by step with pictures from the subway. The made adjustments on her arrival due to the delay and then carried her bags up 3 flights of stairs to the roof top room. And insisted that they would carry them down when she left. On the day she was leaving, there were monsoon level rains and no taxi's available. The owner put her in his car and drove her to her dorm at the campus. Amazing. The guest house itself is lovely and the staff considerate and friendly. The rooms were clear, the breakfast had fresh fruit and the service was amazing. On the roof top room, if you are over 5'6 it is a little short in the bathroom, so be aware of that for the gents.

Hotel in a prime location.

Needs improvements
The Haemil Guesthouse is in a lively area of the city with buses and metro within walking distance. Lots of restaurants and little shops near by. While the experience was not terrible, the lodging itself is not great for the price you pay. The rooms are cramped and dark. The pictures show a continental style breakfast, but what is offered is minimal (bad coffee, white bread, sugary cereal). For the price, I would not recommend staying here. Nonetheless, the staff are friendly and helpful if you have questions.

It was clean and the hosts were nice. It's a little bit far from Downtown, but other than that it's great.
