I had a wonderful stay at Woo Guest House! The location couldn't be better, being right across the street from Gyeongbokgung Palace. The room was clean and comfortable, although a bit small, but I managed just fine. One downside was the limited number of towels provided, but overall, it was a great value for the price. 😊

I had an excellent stay at Woo Guest House for five nights! The place was clean and looked just like the photos online, plus it’s super convenient, right across from Gyeongbokgung Palace. My only downside was the stairs, as the guest house is on the 4th and 5th floors, which might be tough if you have heavy luggage. But overall, Woo's hospitality and the location made my stay nice.

The Korean Traditional Ondol Room was cozy, though a bit small and without windows to the outside. The mattresses were comfortable, but the towels could've been a little bigger.

I had a pleasant stay at Woo Guest House. The location is absolutely fantastic, right across from Gyeongbokgung Palace, making it ideal for sightseeing. The accommodation was clean and basic, although a bit on the smaller side. Overall, it provided exactly what I needed for a comfortable stay, but be prepared for shared bathroom arrangements and limited towel sizes.

While there aren't many halal options close by, Woo kindly allowed me to use the refrigerator and microwave for my own food. There are also some fast food joints nearby if that's what you're looking for.

The facilities are basic but functional. The absence of a TV in the common area was a slight drawback, but the good Wi-Fi and water dispenser were appreciated. Just remember to factor in that the guest house is on the 4th and 5th floors without an elevator!

I had a great stay at Woo Guest House! The location was perfect, just across from Gyeongbokgung Palace and near tons of cafes and shops. However, the rooms were quite basic and a bit on the small side, which was fine but just something to note. Overall, it was clean and comfortable with friendly service from Woo himself.
