Kory Guesthouse

Affordable price, good value for money, great host, always answering to any requests fast. The room was pretty spacious compared to others roooms in guesthouses in South Korea.

I would have probably given a 10/10 instead of 9 if the bed sheets would have been changed once during my 16 nights stay, but it was ok.

Everything was amazing. The room, the kitchen and the bathroom were very clean and well equipped. The host is such a pleasant person! The location is fine. There are a lot of buses nearby and also a huge metro station 10-15 mins away. To the city center it takes about 45 mins. If we come back to Seoul, we would definitely book this place again.

Everything was great!

Тишинааа!!!

Во всем гостевом доме были фанаты BTS Вот и устроили мы мини-вечеринку;)

The room was super big and comfortable, for such a good price. I had everything I needed. The neighborhood is really quiet and friendly. The host is amazing. I loved every minute I stayed there and I truly felt like home. I was away in Busan for 4 days and when I came back, I literally felt like I had come home. I will definitely come back on my next trip. Thank you for such a lovely stay! 💜

The bathroom was a bit small, but nothing I couldn't manage. Was a private bathroom and thag was all I needed.

The place was very clean. The host provided everything I needed and assisted me with any question I had in a timely manner.

The lady who owns the place is very nice.

The area is boring.

Tous👌

夜間でも連絡したら対応してくれた

シャワールームが個室だと狭い

10 min walk to Cheongnyangni station which has a few lines that can take you all over Seoul. On the other side of the station is a cheap fruit and veg market, lots of shops etc. Nice quiet neighbourhood. Very local, with few nice local restaurants and a very cheap self service ice cream shop! Close to convenience stores, laundry, coffee shop. The guesthouse was very clean.

Biggest issue was there is no outside lock on the bedroom doors so you cannot lock your room when you leave for the day, so you have to leave your valuables in your unlocked room. Thankfully we had locks on our bags so no issues but not ideal. No mirror in the bedroom. Limited equipment in the kitchen so made it hard to make food. Only two dining chairs so not enough for all guests. Walls are incredibly thin so could hear all conversations in the common area when trying to sleep. It’s further out of the city so takes around 30-40 minutes to get anywhere central.

It was my first time back to Korea after being an exchange student last year and I needed a place that was comfortable, affordable and close enough to my old campus to see all my friends regularly. This place was exactly that! I stayed for a little over 2 weeks in the single room and I really loved it. There’s also I believe a CU or 7 Eleven close by where I would get breakfast and any late night snacks. Overall a lovely host and a lovely stay :)

No real complaints about my stay, the only thing i struggled with was the bathroom was a tad smaller than expected but manageable and the nearest train station was a bit of a walk.

The hospitality and reactivity. It's my second stay, always a pleasure to come back. Mi sun is a very good and lively person, caring and always reactive. The house is very calm and clean, you'll find everything you need and only 5 min away from metro line 1 and one of the biggest bus stations to get you everywhere around Seoul. It was a good stay. Thank you so much for everything 🙏🏻

El respeto y la limpieza de la anfitriona. Venía a vaciarme cada día mi cubo de basura y a hacer mi cama, pero si notaba que estaba dentro me respetaba y se retiraba.

El barrio podría haber sido un poco mejor... estaba bastante descuidado y habían muchos escombros en la calle. Pero eso no es culpa de la anfitriona.

It was the best available value price ratio place. It's clean and modern. It's not that far from the subway if you cut though the shopping centre car park. The surrounding area has lots of local bars and restaurants. There were free umbrellas the host was nice and responsive.

It's an apartment, there are rooms surrounding the living room, (which includes the kitchen.) In the living room are 2 sets of bunk beds, with a screen. There's no common area except a little table in the kitchen area.There are no locks on the doors you can here every little noise. But I got used to it. It's a shared place but it's not communal so it has the affect of when people first arrive they are opening their doors and looking at where the noise is coming from. The lady lives in the apartment above, she cleans well each day but you get the impression shes also checking on her investment. The kitchen has very few utensils or basic provisions for cooking. There were little postic notes everywhere including in my room which said things like turn the Aircon off when not in use. The bed wasn't that comfortable.

The owner is very kind, and the place itself was very warm and cozy.

This was a great place to stay- a very cozy and quiet neighborhood close to University of Seoul. Misun is a great host :) The shared space and single room alike are very clean and welcoming, and the bed is one of the nicest I have ever slept on. Having a shower of my own was a huge bonus too.

n/a

love the location. single room is really big tho. the host is really kind.

The lady at check-in was very friendly and explained everything to me in very good English. The place was very clean. There is a supermarket close by and the place is well connected by public transport.

It was mentioned on Booking.com that the beds are located in the kitchen but it is still quite unusual to basically sleep there. The two bunk beds are separated by room dividers which provide a bit of privacy. However, since the kitchen is used even after 10:00 p.m., the lights, noises and smells can wake you up.

I have been to Korea for 8 times already and I must say, this is my favorite accommodation ever. I really felt safe, comfortable and at home while staying at Kory's guesthouse. The place was very clean and good value for money! I can say that it is safe for s female solo traveller as the host is very responsive, kind and accommodating. Her family lives on the 3rd floor so I felt at ease and safe during my stay. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet although at night, the street is quite dark but there are convenience stores around so it still felt safe. There are many establishments around like restaurants and convenience store and one of favorite things is Lotte Department Store is near Kory's guesthouse. Ms. Misun is the kindest host ever and even allowed me early check-in. Everything about my stay was wonderful. I am happy I found this accommodation. More bookings to come for Kory's guesthouse. Looking forward to staying here again for the third time in the future. ☺️

Personale sempre disponibile per qualsiasi esigenza. Io ci sono stato 2 mesi e non ho mai avuto grossi problemi in casa, consigliatissima!

Personale sempre disponibile per qualsiasi esigenza. Io ci soo stato per 2 mesi e non ho avuto nessun problema. Camera e bagno sempre puliti e riforniti di asciugamani. Consigliatissimo!

Very clean and comfortable :) And the host is super friendly and speaks english very well.

綺麗なお部屋でオーナーの方もとても親切でした！ チェックインが22時を過ぎてしまったのですがメッセンジャーで連絡したところ快く応じてくださり、キャリーを部屋まで運んでくれ、お部屋の説明の後に何か必要な物はないかと聞いてくださったので、予備のタオルと枕をいただきました。滞在の最終日で気温が下がった日には厚めの掛け布団を出してくださり、快適に過ごすことができました。 個室に安く泊まれてお部屋も水回りも清潔でとてもよかったです。シャワーの水圧も十分でした。宿のすぐ近くにコンビニもありました。他のゲストの方と会うことはあまりありませんでしたが、全体的に静かな雰囲気でした。また機会があったら泊まりたいと思います。

Wi-Fiがだいぶ弱かったので自分のルーターを使っていました。最寄りは清涼里駅ですが1号線側からだと結構歩きます。エレベーターもないので荷物が大きい方は注意です。ベッドが固めでしたがこれは好みだと思います。個室に鍵がなく、中からは閉められますが外出時の施錠はできません。部屋がキッチンのすぐ横だったのですが、キッチンで誰かが話しているとそれがずっと聞こえていました。個人的にWi-Fi以外はそこまで大きな問題ではなかったので全体的には満足しています。

We slept great and were very comfortable in the guesthouse. It seems to be far from the center but really it is not, due to Seoul's excellent public transport system. It is also a great location to start day trips outside of the city. The university is nearby and there are many cheap restaurants (some of them with screens where you can order in English) and street food around.

Location accessible via subway and from the airport very convenient thanks to Limousine Service Bus stop nearby. The host-lady was super friendly, accommodating my needs. I had the room with private bathroom. Very quiet and very clean. There is a laundromat nearby the house, really convenient. Very safe as well, convenience stores are around the corner. Price wise very convenient. WiFi is free to use.

Nothing to dislike.

Everything at Kory was great. I really appreciate the hospitality and service. I'm sure I'll be back. Excellent location.

The host is super nice, helpful and caring. Everything is perfect. Highly recommended! ❤️

Aircondition in every room. Everything was extremely tidy and clean. The landlady was calm, friendly and supportive.

Actually it’s good to reach by foot, once you know how to go, but the first time it’s tricky to find.

La ubicación, en un barrio super tranquilo, y cerca a todo tipo de transporte

🤔🧐🤔🧐🤔🧐🤔🧐

Демократичная цена, удобные кровати, хорошие уходовые средства в ванной, гостеприимная хозяйка.

Душно в общем зале, не работает кондиционер.

The owner is very sweet and helpful and the place is neat and peaceful. Super great value for money.

Nearest stations are a little bit of a walk

I love the location, the kind owner and how pristine this place is. Comfortable and in a lovely neighbourhood.

I had an amazing time in South Korea, and the accommodation was a part of that. I stayed in the shared common room, but it wasn’t a problem for me, next time I’ll book the room though. The host was very helpful and very kind throughout the stay. She gave good recommendations and tips, and was able to provide hangers and a scale as well.

Kory Guesthouse was great as expected! Rooms are clean, host is amazing and location great. This is my second time here and will be my choice for coming trips.

The place is clean and big. You also have your private bathroom for single rooms which is great! It’s near a convenience store and some minutes walk away from the bus stop and train station.

The host is just amzing kind woman! She is so sweet and her location is clean and save. Bathroom is shared with other guests but I lived in room alone, coz I booked single room. Not far from subway, food shops nearby.

no

I had a really great stay here! The host was so kind and very approachable! If I had any questions she was always available to help me. My room was spacious and had a wardrobe. Shower gel, shampoo and small bath towels were provided. There was a heated blanket on the bed and floor heating, so the room was comfortable. There are convenience stores nearby, as well as cafes and a bakery. The subway is walking distance (10-15min) and there's a Lotte department store nearby too. If you're looking for a quiet area, I highly recommend Kory Guesthouse!

lovely host! quiet neighbourhood with a 24/7 convenience store 1 minute walk away. clean and had a great stay.

nothing to do with the property but since it is a shared apartment, other guests are a hit or miss!

I liked a lot my stay in kory guesthouse. Very clean, comfortable and quiet. I find it cute also. What I also found it exceptional was the kindness and courtesy of the host. She was there listening to the needs of the residents. Besides, I felt very safe and I felt my suitcase was also very safe in Kory Guest House. I am happy that I have chosen koryguesthouse. I highly recommended it.

Nothing :)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 5/5 !! I had a very comfortable and wonderful stay in Kory Guesthouse! The room was very nice, clean, spacious and had everything I need. The bed had heater which was perfect for winter. The neighborhood was very peaceful and calming. If you're looking for a less crowded place to stay at, Kory Guesthouse would be perfect for you. There is also a mall nearby with Lotte Mart and a lot of restaurants around. Airport limousine bus station is also near as well as Cheongnyangni train station (10-min walk). The owner was very accommodating and caring. She is very helpful with whatever you need. She even helped me carry my luggages as I was a solo traveller. Thank you so much Kory Guesthouse. It was a pleasure staying there! 🤍 Looking forward to booking this place again once I return to Korea.

None

I had a very nice stay, everything was perfect.

Cleanliness, the owner can speak english well and she is very kind

Maybe difficult to find the place

Best host. Homely. Quiet. Nice neighbourhood.

The stay at Kory guest house was a good idea, the location was perfect for me because it's near Jogno, my purpose of visiting Seoul and because the transport is so near, 5 minutes walking from the subway, train and bus station. The owner was very friendly and caring, filled up everything that ended, added bedding when cold, sent notification about rainy days and put umbrellas at disposal. I'll definitely go back there.

The property was well managed and convenient with a big single room and a bathroom

The lack of the washing machine and the fact that was a little bit far therefore not all the buses pass at night

Kory Guesthouse is near the subway and trainstation. Also you can wash your close around the corner. There is a convenient store 50 m away. All basics are provided. You can also work in the nearby Lotte Connect.

the bed was a bit hard but to me it was ok

The guesthouse is in a residential neighborhood so it’s very calm. There is a small number of rooms so it’s very calm and comfortable. The place was clean and practical. It’s close to the 청량리 station to access other parts of Seoul and there is a department store at the station too.

It didn’t bother me but first time travelers to Seoul should keep in mind that it’s a bit far from the main touristic places such as Myeongdong and Hongdae.

Staff is real kind, about a 10 minute walk to the station (train+multiple subway lines). There is a kitchen in the public area. The room is simple but overall comfy.

Not really close to tourist spots, but the subway is convenient. The bed covers are a little too thin.

It was at good location. Close to different bus stops and close to the train station. There were was a laundromat and a convenient store in the street. The apartment was very nice and the room was nice!

I had a great stay, perfect for travelling alone. The host was very nice and I had a lot of privacy. I would stay here again!

Size of room was prefect for my daughter and I. Very clean. Subway station close by.

N/A

Very close to 청량리역! In a convenient location with access to many necessities. It was clean and the host was very kind!

Nothing!

Excellent value; location was very close to metro, quiet neighbourhood and exceptional hostess.

Locatie tov universiteit was perfect. En de gastvrouw was zeer attent.

**Attention before booking this accommodation!!!** First, I want to say that the accommodation is clean and very affordable compared to other places in Seoul. However, you should definitely avoid booking if you need peace and quiet. The hosts live directly above you, and there are children and other family members there. There is running and banging from 7 AM to 11 PM, making it impossible to rest or work with concentration. I asked twice for consideration, but the reaction was a worsening of the situation, so I was forced to change accommodations. If you book this accommodation, be prepared not to find any peace. (Although there were four rooms available, I was "asked" or rather thrown out despite asking to keep my belongings there for a while, as my new place had a later check-in time. Nevertheless, I was kicked out.) All in all, my stay here only drained my nerves and energy. Thanks for nothing.

Staff - The owner is friendly and check-in/out was easy. It seems like she stays on the 3rd floor and the rooms are all on 2nd floor so to check-in you just knock on her door and she'll show you around the place. Facilities - I chose the place because I booked it about a week before my stay and it was reasonably cheap and highly rated. The house is big and you can use the kitchen but I think the location is not too central that's why not a lot of people stay here so I liked the feeling that it's like I'm coming back to own place cos I hardly see anyone in the house (except for 1 roommate). Some things that you should know though - it surprised me that the 4-bed mixed dorm room isn't really a room but it's just a space in the hall that's carved out by putting room dividers and there aren't any lockers. There aren't any curtains at your bed and also there is no individual charging point at your bed (but there is a central area in the room to charge your stuff). Also, not sure if the air-con was spoilt but we were provided with fans. It seems like there's only 1 toilet in the apartment. These weren't major issues for me esp. when there was only 1 other person in the "room" at any point. Cleanliness - the apartment, "room", and toilet were all immaculately clean. Comfort - the bed was very comfortable but it's hard to sleep till late cos the sun rises early at this time of the year so the "room" is very bright by about 6am. Also, sometimes people talk loudly in the street late at night / early in the morning. Location - it's about 10 minutes walk to the subway/train station (Cheongnyangni) but although there are a few lines, I've only taken Gyeongui-Jungang line cos that seems to be the one that gives you access to the commonly visited places and the waiting time for the train can be 15 minutes later at night.

I've raised some issues above but I'm not sure they are easy to address and also some people may be ok with the issues I raised. :)

I stayed at Kory's house for a week, in the private room. My stay was very comfortable and pleasant and the owner is very kind and helpful. Everything is very clean and during my stay it was very quiet. The subway and bus stops are relatively close and you can get to the center of Seoul without much trouble. From the main street it is also easy to take a taxi or uber if needed. There are also restaurants and stores nearby. To go to the airport you can take a direct bus which is about 6 minutes walk.

It is not very important, but if you are used to sleeping in total darkness, the curtains in the room don´t block the light, although this can be solved with a sleeping mask.

Misun was a fantasic host and very acommodating to our needs - including a requested late checkin as well as any other information or help required as we weren't familair with the culture/public service system in Seoul. The location is a little out of the City centre, but very easy to get to via the Number 1 line from Cheonyangni station neareby.

Really friendly host, she made me feel welcome from the start. She kept the place clean really well. The location is good, close to the metro. So nice that there was no up-charge for towels. The kitchen was perfect, enough pans to cook and a nice big fridge. Relaxed neighbourhood which is nice to walk around, supermarkets are nearby and a convenience store is only 1 block away.

The bed was okay but I could sometimes feel the springs, it could have been a little bit more comfortable. I also didn't like the shower situation. There was no curtain. After someone took a shower the whole shower was wet. Also when you increase the pressure of the water you cannot hang the shower itself. Small things but I think they can be improved. Very close to a 10!

Good location and the owner is really kind , gave us umbrella when it rained

Host Mi Sun is very hospitable and kind! Apart that it's very cheap, amenities in the property are all complete! and it is very near to subway stations. will definitely stay here again in the future!

I love that it is very spacious for a dorm room. Bed is comfortable enough and there are places to open your bag (with enough space to walk), hang your clothes and dry damp belongings. There is a cosy kitchen with enough kitchenware to cook for yourself if you want to. The place is mostly kept tidy and clean and drinking water was refilled everyday. Location was quite close (~12 to 15 mins depending on your speed) to the subway station, I enjoyed the walk to and fro. Misun was kind, very hospitable and helpful! Blessed as well to have friendly and considerate house/dorm mates. Very thankful :)

This is a small matter. The shower head holder doesnt seem adjustable so when you use the holder, the water ends up spraying onto the door opposite or into your face if you didnt expect it. You can just hold it with one hand instead of using the holder to prevent the above from happening.

spacious and good location also very clean

The guesthouse is very clean, located in a quiet area and the host is really kind and warm,and helped me when I needed something. I will go back for sure^^

The room is so spacious compared to other places at the same rate. I stayed there with another friend. We do have real single beds. Actually, I decided to choose this hotel because of the beds. I mean we are friends, I don't mind sharing a double room with her. However, I notice that the bed sizes in many hotels' double rooms, even somewhere more expensive, look like something between a small double and a single bed. That's too uncomfortable. Fortunately, I found Kory Guesthouse. I booked a room with 2 single beds. It's perfect. We didn't have to sleep crowdedly next to a shower room like many places. Kory offers a real bedroom feeling. Although I have to share a shower room and kitchen with other guests, that's not a big deal for me. What's more, everything is so clean. The kitchen and refrigerator are big enough to cook for real if you want to. When you stay at Kory Guesthouse, you will feel like you were visiting your friends' house.

I don't want to say that I don't like it. I was just a bit confused about the latches. At first I didn't notice it in the bathroom because it looks pretty small like a bolt that comes out of the door surface. Anyway, since there is no key but the latch, you can't lock your room when you leave.

The host is lovely! She was very friendly and went out of her way to help me :) she has an adorable dog as well (who lives with her upstairs). The place is very clean, spacious and comfortable. The bed had a heated blanket, making it nice and warm. It had a shared kitchen and bathroom that were very clean. There weren't many people staying though so there was no wait to use either. The shower had hot water. You could refill water for free. Toiletries were provided. The location was really good, not far from a launderette, shops, restaurants, metro and bus stop so you could get to anywhere you needed to. I would definitely recommend staying here :)

It's far from the airport, so if you have an early morning flight to catch, then it'll be difficult to get a bus there. You just need to plan in advance which I didn't do! Haha

Excellent place, convenient transportation, and nice people

The place is very easy to reach, the space is spacious and has a 24/7 convenience store very close and also a place to wash clothes. Besides, it is a very clean place, the lady is very friendly and always very attentive to the guests. I highly recommend it and I hope to be able to return soon.

Kory is a very nice person.
