Beewon Guesthouse

Extremely friendly staff! Communicating in english wasn't always easy but all the people at Beewon were extremely helpful and willing to make things work for everyone. The rooms are simple but totally fine and clean. There is a great range of different restaurants and bars within walking distance.

The breakfast is very simple but will do the trick if you just want to fill your belly till lunch. Just don't expect anything sophisticated.

1) Free usage of washing machine (no dryer & have to buy soap 500w 2) Great for around 3 days stay 3) Very close to subway Anguk and Jongno 3(sam)ga 10 min walk 4) Free small towel like every other hostel 5) High water pressure in shower 6) Spacious kitchen with almost complete stuff (utensils, toaster, microwave, hot & cold water filter, fridge) 7) Helpful staff 8) Fast wifi 9) An actual bathroom (though you have to share and there's only one) 10) Socket at every bed 11) Curtain to cover your face a bit when you sleep 12) 7Eleven and GS25 are the 24 hours mart nearby so you can get spicy samyang and eat because food is expensive everywhere lol 13) Toast bread is provided for breakfast!

1) Slightly more expensive and not as good hostel as I had in Jeju (Backpacker's Home). In Itaewon i stayed in Itaewon Inn which is way cheaper than both but kitchen and bathroom in Itaewon Inn is not as good as in Beewon Guesthouse/Backpacker's Home. 2) If you're a Muslim, the room may be too small to pray inside but you can pray at the hallway provided that you bring your own clean sejadah or something to put on the floor. Only one nearby Halal Korean food (next to E-mart behind 7 Eleven) but I think they serve alcohol and maybe pork too but they put a sign 'Halal' on the door so idk
