I had a decent stay at Seoul Forest Guesthouse. The location was perfect, with easy access to Seoul Forest and nearby restaurants. However, the facilities need some improvements, particularly in cleanliness and maintenance. While my room was comfortable, the bathroom situation could be better managed.

The facilities could use some updates, especially in the shared bathrooms and the general upkeep of the guesthouse. Hooks for hanging items and screens on windows could improve the experience significantly.

I really enjoyed my stay at Seoul Forest Guesthouse, with its excellent location in a charming, café-rich area. The staff were incredibly helpful, making me feel welcomed. However, the noisy door-lock system disrupted my sleep at times, and there were quite a few mosquitoes in the room, which was a bit annoying.

My stay at Seoul Forest Guesthouse was pretty decent overall. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the beautiful Seoul Forest and the subway.

I had a mixed experience at Seoul Forest Guesthouse, with the location being a standout feature. It was very close to beautiful Seoul Forest and nestled in a quiet neighborhood. However, the shared bathroom arrangement and some cleanliness issues were drawbacks. Overall, it’s a decent and affordable option for those looking to be near the park.

My stay at the guesthouse was a mixed bag. The location near Seoul Forest was fantastic, making it easy to explore the park. However, the accommodation itself left a lot to be desired, particularly the cleanliness and facilities.

My twin room wasn't as clean as I had hoped. I found someone else's clothes on my bed, which was unacceptable. The bedding was comfortable but the overall upkeep could be improved.
