Review: The Kimchi Guesthouse in Gangnam

The entrance and building as a whole are really fancy-looking apart from the canvas hamper by the elevator. The lounge and eating area are modern with some metal patio tables thrown into the mix.

Sam was the only employee I saw during my stay that offered his services. He knew the area really well and speaks English with the best of them. He'll be the guy smiling when you walk in, he even takes you up to your room too.

I had no qualms with the size of my room, I found it cozy and the water in the shower heated up instantly. My mattress was lumpy and you could feel a couple of the springs. The desk area was fine. I had no idea how to work the cable box/ TV set, so I squashed the idea of falling asleep to late night Korean TV. Thanks to that though I've fallen back into my Wilbur Smith book.

In a pinch this was a really nice place and the breakfast was standard for a hostel. There were certain things I liked about it and other things I didn't. In the end, after a long day, a bed is a bed.

What you see walking in.

Open concept bathroom. Equipped with panda-themed TP holder.

View standing on the bed. 

How's the view out the window you ask? Like every view from a cheap hotel, motel, or loveshack in Korea it's 3 feet of space then cement.
