Choice that can't be wrong

Review of Ann Guesthouse
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 7, 2012
It is always difficult to decide which hotel/hostel/location to choose...luckily with the help from so many good reviews, we have made the right choice for our 5 days stay in July 2012!

Location is great:
travelling - right above Hongik U sub-stn which saves you times on walking/travelling,
arriving from / getting back to airport is no hassle, easy to proceed to any place for your shopping and sightseeing, trust me, as long you have a seoul and the metro map with you!

Food: there are plentiful of restauraunt which cooked yummy food just across the street, be it day or night. (price is about our foodcourt price (Singapore) but the portion and taste is so gooood....still had fond memory of it right now!!

The room: we have a family room for six of us (friends) which is clean, cosy and well equipped with a small fridge, small kitchen with utensils, tv, computer with wifi, hot/cold water dispenser, one bathroom, umbrella and slippers.

Free: daily load of bread for breakfast, instant coffee/tea. Laundry is free if the number of pieces is not too many...but warning,..my pants and t-shirt were not sent back to me on the last second day though I have approached the wonderful owner Ann - guess the service company who wash them have mixed and lost them.. haha

Overall: all of us enjoyed our stay here and will no hesitation coming back again or recommending to anyone.

I live in Korea and have stayed at this hostel, and several others in Seoul, numerous times and this is my favorite hostel in Seoul. It is very clean and well-maintained and you cannot beat the location. The building it is in is adjacent to the Hongik University subway stop. This means that you are staying right in the heart of Hongdae, which is one of the coolest neighborhoods in Seoul (especially for food and nightlife). You can access most of the attractions in Seoul via the subway in 10-20 minutes and the airport railroad goes directly to the Hongik University stop. The airport bus also stops in front of the hostel/subway station. The hostel rooms are bright and clean and there is a bathroom and kitchenette (stove, microwave, fridge and cooking utensils) in each room. They also provide toast and coffee each morning. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is no central place to hang out in at this hostel so that may be a downside if you are primarily looking to socialize. It's more a series of apartments that have been turned into dorm rooms, so you will only get to meet other travelers who are staying in the same room as you. In my experience, the other guests in this hostel have been very quiet and courteous, I have not had a problem sleeping here, even with 7 other people in the room

me and my 2 other girlfriends went touring in Seoul last year around may or july? (i cant remember which month) We actually stayed in a couple of hostels/guesthouses and I would wanna give thumbs up for Ann guesthouse.

The place was clean and tidy, equipped with a PC, TC and some basic equipment for you to make ya own beverages and such. I like the fact that they have a big window and also a couch! ahhaha nice cos sometimes i just wanna lie or sit down on a couch instead on the bed.

It was so comfortable I can just lay back in the room.

ann was very kind and friendly as well... she even gave us a little gift on our last day back.

My family of 4, stayed at Ann Guesthouse in June for 5 nights, it was awesome. The room was very clean and homely, and they also provided a computer-TV in our room for our personal use! Ann Guesthouse is located just above Hongik Station, so you can take the Arex from the airport, which is cheap & convenient. Use exit 2 (escalator) if you have luggage, if not use exit 1(stairs) just next to the building. Many restaurants & lots of shopping in this area, and going to Myeongdong, Namdaemun, Dongdaemun is also very easy, less than 30 mins. Ann cleans the room, changes the towels, provides mineral water, bread, butter & jam daily. Ann also does your laundry for free, just leave your dirty clothes in the basket provided and she will return your clothes the next day, smelling fresh & clean! Will definitely stay here again if I were to visit Seoul in the future!

Lot's of restaurants/ street food vendors nearby so food won't be a problem. There's a Dunkin' Donuts shop at the ground floor; Pizaa Hut and other nice and not so expensive restos across the street.

Ann is very friendly and accommodating. She helped us call Kyochon (must try!) for food delivery to our room. :D

If you're looking for a convenient location to stay at in Seoul, this is IT! Ann Guesthouse is conveniently located near exit 1 of Hongik Uni. station. & all the rooms have lift access so you don't have to worry about your luggage at all!

the 4 of us managed to get a room for 6 cos the other rooms were full during the period we travelled. It was really great, stayed at 7th floor and had an awesome view from our window! Plentiful of beds, pillows, and even a couch in the room! Totally self-sufficient as well as all the appliances (fridge, toaster, microwave, water dispenser, computer, wifi etc.) are all inside the room! The place is very clean, and Ann provided us with a fresh loaf of bread everyday as well as offers laundry services.

Location rocks as well as it is near all the shopping area, and Ms Ann is a very hospitable person as well so you can direct her any questions you might have about getting around in Seoul :)

Definitely would stay here the next time I visit Seoul!!! :D 5 million stars for Ann's Guesthouse :)
