They understood decent English. Whenever I had a question, they were able to answer me. Of course I didnt ask too many. The rooms are really nice. Actually very nice in my opinion for the money. Usually have a hot tub with flatscreen tvs, along with internet and a dvd player. What ya need a dvd player for Im not sure, but hey....
Windows look right into the side of another building or aparments. Whatever people dont go there for the view.

I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights and I recommend it to anyone - great value and good location! At it's door step is Itaewon Subway Station.
It is located in the tourist area where there are many Western restaurants (ate in KFC upon arrival), convenience stores and clothes shop.
Safe to walk even during the night - lots of men/women in military uniform roam the area. You can even try eating in one of the sidewalk restaurants (white tents) for more authentic Korean experience!
Breakfast buffet area has a view of the garden and rooms have a view of tiled roofs of private residences.
Attached to a mall.
Fairly large and clean room.
With cable TV and 2 pillows for each bed.
Browse through some of the travel brochures at the lobby. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: Itaewon

The Seoul Guest House is a traditional Korean inn located right outside of the Insadong neighborhood. The rooms are very simple - just a bed, a TV (with 60+ channels), and a rack to hang your clothes. The floors are heated, and you are not allowed to wear shoes inside any of the buildings.
There is only one bathroom and it is shared. The problem with the bathroom is that it is in the same building that the owners of the inn relax and sleep in. It becomes difficult to wake these people up just to walk through their room to the bathroom. They were always very polite about it though.
There is internet access in the form of a simple computer system (no printer) also in this same building. You are allowed to use it for free 30 minutes at a time, and you can not use it after 10 PM.
There is a kitchen with a roof over it, but it's still outdoors (hard to explain). The kitchen was very dirty during our stay, I would not recommend using it.
There was construction going on while we were there in March 2005, which made the courtyard look pretty bad. I can imagine that in the summer, without construction, it's beautiful.
Nearby is a Dunkin Donuts, and an excellent little restaurant with an English sign in the window that says "Chicken and Beer." They serve... chicken and beer. They have an excellent staff and are open late. There is a small grocery store close by, and a salon where the ladies will be happy to give you a new 'do.
Okay, there was only one problem with the Seoul Guest House. Actually, there were two.
During our stay, there were two fires that took place overnight on the same night. The fire was in the greenhouse, which is directly next to the kitchen. Apparently something went wrong with the oven in the greenhouse. My friend and the two owners of the Inn spent about 45 minutes putting the first fire out with cooking pots full of water. The second fire broke out 2 hours later in the same place, around 4:00 in the morning. This one was put out quickly.
We checked out of the Inn that morning. The lady would not let us pay, and apologized profusely for the fire. We felt awful for her.
Although my experience was not the best one, I trust that they will solve the greenhouse oven problem very quickly. And on that note, I would definitely recommend this Inn to anyone looking to stay in a historic Korean inn in a very old neighborhood. I would also recommend it to budget travellers, as it was only $20 USD per person per night to stay here, and you receive free internet access.

Call MIJA LEE, the owner, when you arrive. There is a pay phone across the street. Mija will send someone to pick you up - on foot - and then you will walk about 5 minutes to the Inn.Website: http://www.seoul110.com/new/html_en/1.html
