South Korea - Guest House Review: 5th Hostel, Seoul (Hostel Korea)

Last year when we visited S.Korea we stayed at Namsan Guesthouse 2. Its a nice place too and located right at Myeong-Dong, the shopping heaven. But, Namsan Guesthouse has raised their room price and all, we decided to look for some other guesthouse. After googling for days and months we chose 5th Hostel.

5th Hostel located at Geumho-Dong., Seoul. This hostel is one out of many other Hostel Korea branch. Even though it does not located at the center of big city but it is safe and less busy. The area complete with multiple convenience store, bread shop, coffee shop, restaurant and beauty shop. Most importantly, its near to subway station, Singeumho Station. From Singeumho Station to hostel is about 5 min away.

Check out their website: 5th Hostel. I don't take much picture of the guest house but thanks to google, i manage to took some of the picture to show u guys.

My personal experience, the available room is not spacious but it acceptable. There is still some space to put your begs. There is also a small CRT TV, which is good enough for entertainment before go to sleep. And while we were there (April), the weather is quite chilly. But thanks to the outspread heater on bed, we had a very quality sleep. There is also washing machine and clothes drying areas.

On hospitality wise, all workers are friendly enough to greet you whenever we bumped with each other. Because i didn't spend much time at the guesthouse, i couldn't explain more about the staffs. But looking at pictures and messages send by visitors who stayed there before, i could tell, the staffs are friendly and likeable.

For those budget traveler out there, this place is recommended.

South Korea - Guest House Review : Kiss & Fly B&B Guesthouse

I've been to Korea again for the 3rd time on last April. I have no idea why i kept going back there almost every year. I'm gonna make some review regarding 1 amazing guest house that me and the rest of my travel partners get to spend a night before gone back to Malaysia. My personal opinion, this place is really Daebak-대박 (awesome in Korean).

Sometimes when we travel, there are possibilities to arrive late at night or leaving early in the morning. One of the solution is to take transit hotel, inside or nearby the airport. But for budget traveler, a guest house is the best option.

Kiss&Fly B&B Guesthouse is actually a double story bungalow house located at Unseo-dong, Incheon. Located near to airport, about 10 minutes away from the airport. It is a new town/village as described by taxi driver. It is indeed a new town/village, once you enter the area u will know. Its a very calm, cozy and eye soothing neighborhood. Its like a combination of a modern and rural neighborhood. In between big houses you can see small farming area almost everywhere around the neighborhood. Its a completely different scenery to us.



Check out the interior (not much pic tho). There is 2 dorm, for female and male each and 1 family room. Price per head is KRW 20000 (RM 60). The price has been raised a bit. It was KRW18000, last time we went there. This guest house is child friendly, so it is very convenience for those travel with baby or children.

There are many options to book for room at the guest house eg: Hotel.com, Booking.com. Just google for Kiss and Fly Guest House, and choose from the option listed.
