Reviews of Snowflower Guesthouse

The pros: Just 5 minutes walk to the Hyehwa station Very clean room Breakfast and ice cream are unlimited The location is very good with plenty of restaurants and Shops Cons: Can’t wear shoes inside the hotel and need to carry them. This creates an insane amounts of inconvenience Overpriced rooms. On some Korean websites the price for the same room is half Only the shower is there in the room. So need to use the shared toilet which has a weird lock that doesn’t really lock and can be opened from the outside by anyone as it’s not a real lock. This creates an insane amounts of inconvenience. Poor soundproofing. I could literally hear what my neighbours are talking and hear people walking around in the all the night There’s no windows at all This makes it very hard to sleep I don’t think I will ever stay here again unless there’s no other choice

Staff are very good, helpful and friendly. They do provide a variety of different types of food. So enjoyable. Tiny room with a private bathroom and a small fridge. Thx 🍀

Will definitely stay again when I come to Seoul! Perfect place and perfect location 😍

always a pleasure to stay here, can’t recommend it enough. very convenient location

Good experience when traveling in Seoul. Friendly staff and simple procedures.

The room was very small but clean and well-equipped. The location is good, near bus stops, and there is a shop on the first floor. The staff is welcoming and ready to help.

Very convenient and helpful also different nationalities, friendly, And lots of Places close by to eat and drink 🙌🏽👍🏼👍🏼and down stairs market .

Very friendly staff

The guesthouse is within walking distance from Hyehwa Station. The nightlife around this estate is also very lively, so rest assured should you need to return back later in the evening. The complimentary breakfast served is decent - you get a choice of toasted bread with spread, instant ramen or oatmeal. This is coupled with some milk, fruit juice, coffee, tea and water. However, you will need to prepare the meals yourself and clean the dishes after that. A caution that the room can seem rather small and cramped (for those needing a spacious design when selecting your overseas accommodation). My individual shower facilities also had a stench odour of what seemed like sewage, which was the main disappointing portion. If not, the rest of the facilities are good enough - e.g. The toilet bowls are clean and fitted with smart toilet seats, providing a warm sitting experience for those relieving yourselves during the winter season in Korea. The hosts were also very friendly, despite their limited proficiency in spoken English Language. There is also a shared desktop computer for your internet usage in the balcony, as well as a smart television in each room with internet-based programmes (e.g. Netflix, YouTube, Disney Plus etc.). I will strongly recommend this accommodation to those seeking a value-for-money option, solo travellers wanting a communal yet safe space to have a roof under their heads for the night. Not for the introverted nature - you will have plenty of opportunities to interact and dine with many strangers, of which some might become your global friend!

Good location Everything is around Free food and coffee Nice management

Budget accommodation with helpful staff who however may not be around in the early morning. Free eggs, bananas, milk and juice available 24/7. Small room with a private bathroom and shared toilets. Within 10 mins walk from the train station with a supermarket underneath, an opposite convenient store, Daiso and Olive Young nearby. Had a nice short stay there.

Good value right next to Sungkyunkwan

The room is small, and the toilet is outside, which is a bit inconvenient. You need to change into the slippers provided by the hotel when you enter the room. I didn't know this when I booked it, otherwise I might have chosen another hotel. Although the toilet is outside, the sanitation is good and clean. The sound insulation of the room is not very good. The coughing sound from the next room is very clear. Fortunately, everyone will not speak loudly after late at night, but there is noise from time to time on the street facing the street, even at one, two, three or four in the morning.

The room is small, but there are soft drinks, instant noodles, and ice cream in the common area. There is also a washing machine for free, but drying clothes requires an additional fee.
