Apgujeong Residence

it was cold out last night. the room was kinda cold when i fell asleep but ended up waking up at like 5 cuz the room was really cold. maybe she just forgot to turn the heat on for the floor.. i tried to go back to sleep, but couldnt. and i wasnt about to shower only to come out into a fridged room, so i packed up my things and went to a nearby sauna to shower. i hope others have better experience than me..

The room was nice, the woman spoke wonderful English, and the decorations were beautiful. The hostel was quiet and clean.

The bathroom was so small that it was almost impossible to shower or use the toilet. (I am a 5'4" girl, I could only sit sideways on the toilet.)

The bed

The bathroom is too small and the old woman gets angry easily . The breakfast is poor . No bread or jam egges ect ...just noodles and coffee .

The hostess allowed me to use the washing machine free of charge. The guesthouse is also in a very convenient location.

Although she did allow me to do some washing, the hostess was not at the hostel at the check-in time, and was very impolite when she did arrive. Also, no mosquito coils or repellant were provided in the room, so I was bothered by mosquitos all night. Finally, there was no breakfast provided, even though this was advertised in the price.

Nothing. Didn't like it at all.

Dusty bed, unclean blankets, the wasn't polite. Vey bad air conditioning. I have booked a room with a breakfast, there was no breakfast at all.

It's located good spot in GangNam.

I'm sure this place is most of small and cheap place for stay in GangNam. Dirty linens, toilet size bath room, not ready for basic stuff for client, unfriendly worker. I will not to use this place again. But if you don't have money enough for other hotel then... I would say to you "It's good location."

Easy check-in, easy check-out. The room was clean.

The problem is that somebody from Europe would never expect a room like this. This is a Korean gosiwon, which is basically a small room, with a bed, TV and a tiny bathroom inside the room. The bathroom has a toilet, a sink and a shower. But to shower, you need to squeeze yourself between toilet and sink, and by doing that, you shower / clean the entire bathroom at the same time. The thing is that I didn't know this was a gosiwon. So if I had known, I wouldn't have booked it, but as long as you are OK with a tiny room like that, you should consider this. The old woman that you have to check-in with doesn't speak English well, so be prepared to state everything you want clearly. Don't just assume that she will do something because it's common practice in the Western world. Just tell her, and she will do it.

Location is ok, near 7/11, Family Mart.

I booked a room with breakfast but I didn't get breakfast in the morning as the owner (older Ajumma) disappeared. Smelly towels.

Fantastic location. Great price, especially for the area.

Musty rooms with a sort of odd odor. Had a few pieces of trash leftover from previous guest in shelves. Not much in the way of amenities. Kitchen area and "clean" bowls and are absolutely FILTHY. Owners are rarely around.

The property was fairly close walk to the subway. The room had a small fridge and a private (if very small) bathroom.

I was surprised to discover the room didn’t have air conditioning (despite it being advertised). The room did have a fan- but that was not ideal for the hot summer.
