The owner can't speak english, but he's really so kind, if you want talk english well you will find the staff at more than 3 PM, They are changing shif. You can free eat bread with jam, but you must make itself, take the bread and jam from frindge in the kitchen, there is no people or special staff you can ask for, just doin anything by yourself, there is a rice cooker in here, but you must share with the other customer, and bring your own rice. And you also can cooked anything in the kitchen, but rememmber to always wash your glass etc after your cooked, and always make the kitchen clean and tidy. When you came you just tell whats your name if you order by traveloka, and then you'll get the key of your room. This place is really clean and fresh, the room not to big, but the facility is the best! (Hot water, AC, free wifi (4-8 Mbps), free water on the kitchen, hot water, comfort bed, clean shower, clean floor, warmer, window, neon, english direction, good pillow, free using laundry (if you order for 7 days more), free using kitchen, etc) The location is really near from seoul station, you can go anywhere from this place. Train is really fast in seoul, try not use bus or car, is more awesome if you walking around the street. And the beside this place are 7 eleventh, you can get a little needs of the day from this place.

10 mins walk from Seoul station, it's near main road. There is a 711 store adjacent to its main entrance. Easy check in procedure just give your passport. every floor has it's own kitchen and dining area, bread and jam is free for breakfast, also water and coffee. There is a fridge for you to store your foods. The 1 solo room size is just the right size, space is enough to walk around and store your luggage. Basic necessities are provided. Bathroom is really small but I think it's okay. For its price, this is considered a good choice already as you have your own space and privacy.

It's suitable for budget trip. You can walk from Seoul station in 5 mins from Exit 15. Then, you walk 200m on the left side to cross the road and walk to left side about 700m then you will see 7-11 in the alley. The maru is next to 7-11 on 3rd floor. The single room with private bathroom is perfect for the price. It's small but I can open my 24"inch baggage. For shared room for 2 people with private bathroom is also good but you might feel uncomfortable on the upper bed. Staff's very helpful and flexible in check in-out time. The front office is opened at 11.00 am. I would like to recommend "The Maru Guesthouse" to who are looking for the comfortable place and convenience location. If you miss last subway to airport after 12.00am, you can take taxi to Seoul station - Airport Limousine Bus at Line 3 (opposite site of exit 15) Bus no. 6001, 6002.

It's nice to stay here. Very close to Seoul Station (arrival from the airport). Just walk to the hostel. The rooms are minimalist but very adequate (bathroom inside). It is suitable for backpackers like me. Breakfast can search near the hostel (there are 7-eleven)

Very satisfied to stay at the Maru, close to Seoul Station because I travel around Seoul always by using the subway, from the bus stop also close. The price is very affordable even there is a kitchen too, so it can save even by cooking for yourself in Seoul; d

this hotel is perfect for backpackers, since the small room is very comfortable and there's a tv, hairdryer, and wifi we can use. The bathroom is very clean and supplied with shampoo and body wash also a hot water. In Maru the kitchen is very fully equipped, we can cook a noodles, hot coffee, and so on. Maru also supplies some bread that we can eat for breakfast with peanut butter and strawberry jam. If you want to wash your clothes you can using the washing machine for free with the condition you stay at Maru at least for three days. Maru is near the Seoul Station (maybe 10 minutes walk or less) which very strategic station for foreigners/tourists since we take KTX from airport. One more thing, beside the Maru there is 7-Eleven so you can check the convenience store if you want.
