Namsan Guesthouse

Pretty good bang for your buck. They have a good common area and as many towels as you need. The beds are very uncomfortable though, and the shower is situated in a rough spot where the entire bathroom with be wet all day. Still, a great place to stay in Seoul.

Safe for solo travelers. Staffs are nice. I was able to leave my luggage in the basement before my check in time. They provide noodles and bread for breakfast. Common area is spacious. Good for it's price. Near Myeong-dong.

one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in! i thoroughly enjoyed my stay 🥰 place was conveniently located near myeongdong. bed was comfortable. the receptionist & owner had great hospitality and were super friendly!! would definitely come back again 💯

Namsan Guesthouse has a convenient location close to Myeongdong metro station. The female dormitory bathrooms were quite small and unclean. The toilets on the other hand were clean.The beds were the worst part, the mattress was extremely uncomfortable and felt like a rock. The air conditioning was great but the bathroom and toilet was very muggy and didn’t have great ventilation. Washing your clothes in the laundry was free with free detergent as well. The washing machine was excellent however there is only one. They also had clothes lines to hang your clothes or a drying machine for 3000 won (you can only use 1000 won notes to pay).

The bathroom on the fifth floor ( female dorm) was moldy, dirty and smelly. The toilet was basic but the signs weren’t welcoming. Yes it was cheap but cheap doesn’t have to mean dirty. Great location though. I did not interact with the staff. Couldn’t wait to leave.

Do not recommend. I stayed here for 3 nights and was happy to leave. The place is very dirty (see pictures, I should've taken more as the bathroom was filthy too) and nothing got cleaned during my 3 day stay. The mattress was very thin so you could really feel the wood under it. I woke up hurting every morning. On the plus side, it was cheap and in a good location (even though it's quite the uphill hike to get to the hostel from the subway station). Next time, I would spend a little more money and stay somewhere else.

Place was really dirty. There were hairs on blanket and bedding. Toilet was dirty and you can actually see someone else’s poo on it. No cleaning was done and wind was coming through the window which made it cold during the night time. It was absolutely disgusting to stay and we just came out of the room next day but no refund was allowed through Booking.com since this place not responded

Good location, bit up the hill but located close to the subway station.Not very social so not that great for solo travelers.The female dorm is on the 5th and has no windows or air circulation, the ac was off and no way of getting fresh air in. Many people were sick and coughing all night when the room was boiling hot.
