Cons: Its so dirty in common room and smell so bad, my friend found a pregnancy test in hand washing place, the staff didnt explain anything about the guest house they just handle the payment, i didnt know that second floor has code, so i didn’t kmow the passcode door. I saw couple cuddling kissing (idk if its the staff or not, but i think staffs can tell them to not do it) in living room, the stove is broken And the toilet is also dirty. I booked triple room with my friend and they can take it anymore so we moved to other place instead... and asking for return money but they cant give it cause of booking.com policies

Comfortable atmosphere. There are couches to relax on, games to play, and overall it feels cozy. Everyone I met was very kind and outgoing which I find especially important as a solo traveler. Friendly staff. Since I'm not too familiar with guesthouses/hostels...I had a lot of questions. Luckily, a staff member (Ohshin) was there to answer all of my questions! He was really helpful and he even connected me with other travelers in the guesthouse. I had a great time at the guesthouse hanging out with these travelers. :)

Lee (Taeyong) who is in charge of the property was an absolutely fantastic host, working very long hours to do all he could for his guests! Having access to clothes washing facilities was a life-saver in the heat of the summer! In a safe and friendly neighbourhood with close links into popular tourist places, I'd return to stay in a heartbeat!

Pros: *Booked a single room with bathroom and stayed for only 3 nights, so did not look for much comfort, but it was quite OK. I've been in Seoul for the first time with two other friends of mine, who stayed at different hostels. Mine was the cheapest, most central and cleanest. *Very close to central attraction areas and Subway lines 1 and 6. Also, once I missed the final metro, and very easily and safely walked back from Hangangjin (though mind you, it took me 30 min.) *A middle class area, very close to the touristic, yet a local middle class one in itself. Good local restaurants, markets, and local life. Also a very quiet and solemn (sort of residential) area. *They make you take of your shoes when you enter the hotel area (but you can keep them in your room if you like), which I personally liked very much. *They had fly screen on the window: A MUST in Seoul in summer. No other bugs as well. *Shampoo and shower gel included. Hair-dryer as well. *Free use of washing machine. *Good wi-fi.

Cons: I arrived late night. I already informed them in advanced and the property said he will left some directions in the front desk. But after arriving, there was none. I thought I will spend the night in other property. But good thing there was a phone in the front desk and you can call the owner. If you know you will arrive late night. Make sure you contact or inform them first and don't be shy to call or wake them.

Cons: I don't know how to comment about the central air conditioning system on this hostel. When I arrived at this hotel, the system on the third floor broke, so I sleep with fan turned on and an opened window. At the last day, the air conditioner system works. But, it's too noisy in my room and I can't sleep inside for the first time. They've offered some disposable earplugs, but I need my ears to hear my alarm next morning. The sound deadening between room can be more better.

Cons: *You have to pay in cash upfront. They don't tell you that here or before in their e-mails, so if you arrive in the middle of the night, be careful. (Otherwise, you can leave your ID at the reception and get it back when you pay) *Hostel bathrooms are probably all the same across the town, but I can't for the life of me get used to a hose attached to the sink hole as a water outlet, wetting and dirtying back my feet. *There's only one towel in the size of a hand towel. When I asked for more, they couldn't find any spare clean towels. *Because of the hose situation, and since the shower is also not separate, the bathroom gets wet all the time, and do not dry in the damp Seoul weather in June (which makes the room and you smell of wet clothes all day) *Breakfast is not an actual breakfast, but just toast bread and jam with coffee. And you have to wash your dishes to find sth clean. Kitchen has facilities so you can make whatever you want yourself (which might be a plus for late nights) yet since it's inside the hotel area the corridors and stairs heavily stink of food all the time. *Single rooms are on the third floor and there's no elevator (But the reception volunteered to carry my very heavy bag for me, so thanks!)

Pros: The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Getting checked in/out was very easy. The original private room accommodations that I'd reserved had accidentally been overbooked, so the owner gave us a multi-person room all to our own to help remedy the situation. All of the rooms lock, and it looks like there are also small lockers upstairs that you can use (we just kept things locked in our room without issue). This was my first guesthouse/hostel experience, but it couldn't have been better. The bathrooms are all shared, but they are kept fairly clean throughout the day. The rooms are humble but have air conditioning for the hot months. Toast, coffee, eggs, and juice are provided in the mornings to make breakfast for yourself if you wish. And there is a full kitchen if you wish to bring back your own food to cook a meal. For the extended-stay travelers, they also do laundry a couple of times a week. And there's free wifi.
If you plan to be out experiencing Seoul all day, with only plans to eat/sleep at the guesthouse, this is the place for you. We met the most lovely people from around the world here as we shared our meals. The Hongdae Orange Guesthouse is near a subway that will get you anywhere around Seoul you'll want to go, and near GREAT food, shopping, and night life. We had a comfortable, safe, clean place to lay our heads at night. And the staff couldn't be more friendly (the big fluffy dog included! what a sweetie). It's a great deal.

Cons: The place was very dirty, especially the front yard and the common area. The common area was all the time messy. There were always dirty dishes piled high in the kitchen sink. Other guests were spitting in the kitchen sink. The sofa and center table was filthy. The kitchen was also open up to the wash area. I did not like that because people are washing dirty clothes right next to you when you are trying to prepare your meal.

Cons: The single room was quite tiny but nevertheless, the air conditioner in the room was quite effective. There is just one toilet and bathroom for 4 to 5 rooms so that might be an issue at times, however the staff had mentioned that the guests can use toilet facilities at the other floors.

The final straw was putting on a comforter, and smelling urine on it, and after throwing it off I see a large yellow pee stain on it. Disgusting! Yuck. I told a staff person and showed him comforter to which he says " thats why we give two sheets to cover your bed". I would like a straw person and take a walk and bring him comfortable to which they are. " I was in shock. I was in a hurry. I said you shouldn't not hand out urine covered comforters, sheets etc. .to your guest. What's upsetting to me was the fact he, and the other staff member didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, and they didn't show and kind of caring or concern over my concerns. I didn't rest peacefully. My stay was spoiled by this. P.S. I did take a photo I said you shouldn't not hand out urine covered comforters, sheets etc. .to your guest.

7.5 Good
Pros: If you are looking for a place that's located right in Itaewon, this is a good spot. It's only a short walk right onto the main strip of Itaewon. The staff here is really friendly, and made me feel welcome. The room I booked was simple and clean, which is all I required since I just needed a place to sleep at night.
Cons: Be aware the showers and also bathrooms were co-ed. This didn't pose a problem for me, however know that the shower stalls have a frosted glass covering. At night this area can get a bit loud because of the pubs around the area, so if you are a light sleeper I suggest bringing some earplugs.

Pros: As mentioned above.
Cons: i didnt like d female receptionist i met on June 9 to be exact. She was a stone cold and rude person. She showed much inflexibility and poor customer service by not at least making me feel comfortable despite my early check in. i paid in advance and d least she could do was to try to let me in 15mins earlier as i was really exhausted otherwise she could politely tell me not possible. She was not even smiling and the tone of her voice was really authoritative. Bathroom stinks big time and there are mosquitoes. Breakfast was all about cheap bread and cereals that didnt even have a single spoon. No proper towels. No proper instructions which juice or milk we can touch so no one is touching either of the joice ir milk. The reception is often unattended on late night hours in d last two nights i stayed. There was this korean guy and korean lady with the long hair that i liked the most - very polite and accommodating... i wish that girl seated on that 9th of June be disciplined.

4.5 Okay
Pros: Staff is very friendly and speaks English
Cons: Bed is really uncomfortable (hard and noisy). Shared bathrooms are dirty and uncomfortable. Room is small and not at all like it looks in the pictures. Breakfast is very sober: bread, jam and peanut butter. There are definitely better options in Seoul.
6.8 Good
Pros: The location is very nice! Just around the Seoul Station! There are a lots of cafe and restaurants in the nearby. The price is worth it. There is an AC in the rooms.
Cons: The room was quite small and the bed is old. Lots of creaking already just because i turned on my other side. No elevator only stairs. The breakfast was very very simple and basic. Some bread, jam, peanutbutter and some instant coffee. On the pictures there was way more variety of food. They should remove it because its a big misslead about the breakfast.
