Jj Guesthouse

The location was close to Jungmun Tourist Complex if that’s where you want to be situated. I disagree there are lots of restaurant options in this area though. Particularly if you are a solo traveller, most things around here are bbq where you must order at least 2 peoples servings (and black pork is expensive)

When I checked in, I wasn’t given a key. This is because startlingly none of the doors at the properly are ever locked or even closed properly. You can literally walk in off the street and walk into any room. I was handed a towel and bed sheet and that was the end. There is NO free breakfast as stated (and room service? What?). There isn’t even any kitchen or hot water facilities. The shower does have cold water but I only figured out the tap is on backwards a few days in, meaning you have to turn it to cold to get a semi warm, weak shower. The staff disappear early and I could never find anyone to help with anything. The guy who works at the coffee shop on the first floor was kind and tried to be helpful but I don’t think he knew much about the guesthouse side of things. The pictures on this website are NOTHING like the place. Everything is old and rusty, the place has a fee like it’s been left to ruin. Really needs some work.

Quirky and cheap, good location

There's no kitchenette There's no free breakfast There's no staff anywhere There's wasn't a common room (for us anyway) This hostel needs to update it's booking.com profile as soon as possible. The common area looks nothing like this anymore and has been remodelled completely (not quirky in the slightest) not that we got to spend much time in it, as after waiting outside the empty building for half an hour when we arrived, those that let us in promptly kicked us out as it was 'their holiday' and locked the door behind us. But we were pointed to the terrace (overgrown patch of grass out the front) to hang out, it was 32 degree heat. This common room is actually a commercial cafe now, so no kitchen appliances our side of the counter, didn't find any during the stay either. I would have asked the staff but couldn't find anyone and must have had under 30 seconds of conversation with them the whole time. The place isn't the cleanest but the price reflects that and it's quirky and strange in places that makes it memorable. Under other circumstances I would have enjoyed the stay (I'd been hiking and camping the coast of Jeju and just wanted to cook without the gas stove and enjoy air con before moving on, so am quicker to anger than usual) it's just that what is listed is completely inaccurate.
