Kimchee Gangnam Guesthouse

The staff are nice, friendly, welcoming and on hand to help. The accomodation is very close to the subway so it is easy to get around though one should be warned that some of the main tourist attractions such as the palaces, the DDP and Ihwa Mural Village etc. are quite far away so you will need to take public transport to get there. Moreover, the beds and rooms are relatively spacious and comfortable with good underfloor heating.

The comments made may not be representative of the other rooms but from staying on the 6th floor in a room with 7 other people, I found the bathroom to have a strong and relatively unpleasant smell. We also had to share it with the room next door because the room neighbouring ours did not have a bathroom. This was not advertised so one was unaware and unprepared for this.

room was dirty when i went in bedsheet was covered in long hair which was obviously offputting no heater so i was freezing

Located close to Gangnam-gu train station about 5-7 minute walk. 24-hour convenience stores very nearby.

Upon arrival when checking in, was told by Carter (receptionist), that they (kimchee) had made a mistake and the room i had booked was not available. I was asked to go look somewhere else but after some convincing /negotiating from myself, and almost in no time, a room all of a sudden became available for me. Room was tiny and nothing like the advertised pictures shown on booking.com.
