Dream Single House

The pictures on its website is not as good as it looks. The men's individual room are smaller and so is the bed inside. If you are 5'8" or taller, think twice about booking here as you'll have a difficulty stretching your legs. Speaking of legs, one of the bed's leg in the room where I stayed is broken. Also the bathroom and the kitchen are outdated.

The price was excellent and the instructions got me right there.

Priprty had ongoing plumbing issues (no hot water/ water leak for women's shower and washing machine facilities- making it difficult to use. This stayed started from day 1. Rooms were not clean properly, had to ask to switch on 2nd day. I had to exit early when the plumbing issues extended for most of my stay. The age of building is a factor. Sorry.

It was not what I expected. Very small and nasty

You 100% get what you pay for! Its small, quaint, and pretty dirty, but if for the price, you really cant beat it. The owner and worker there are super sweet and friendly and will help you at a moments notice.

Beat location

The price was cheap, but I had more expectations because of the photos in the post when i booked it

Close to everything you need, including public transit. Very quiet neighborhood.

Overall the location is near the city centre, and is safe for female solo travellers even reach late night. In terms of the stay facilities, I didn't manage to meet any of th staff because my check in/out time is out of their operation hours. The room is small as expected, just nice for 1 person & 1 huge luggage. The bed is hard and the pillow is shallow, I can't sleep comfortably. Luckily I have my neck rest, otherwise I going to wake up with neck ache. The pantry needs a lot of cleaning, is so dirty. As for the shared bathroom, I guess you need to build a blurry glassdoor instead of curtains because is so cold when I came back late night and try to get shower. And the shower head hanger is broken, please fixed it. For a short stay, is ok, not for a long one.

Tiny room with hot shower, good location. It can be improved by maintain brighter and cleaner environment.

About 500 meters from the closest metro station. Really cheap for a single room. The rooms are great, the shared bathroom need some love. Your stay will depends on the other people with you. When I stayed, there was a lot of people making noise at 2 am and they were listening to movie on full volume without earphones. That was not nice, they didn’t listen when someone asked them to lower the volume/ put on earphones. Also, one person was washing her underwear with the shared bar of soap. Beware that there are quite a lot of mosquitoes or maybe something in the bed, that stung me quite a little. Not sure what is was, since I saw only one mosquito in my stay.

The shared bathroom was a room with 2 shower curtain partitions that havent been cleaned in a long time and a sink. During my stay, the sink pipe broke. Hot water supply was great, kitchen amenities were homely, room was small but cozy, good for solo travellers. I'd stay here for 1-2 nights but i wouldnt stay longer. Location was convenient to get to the bus stop, and the bus to the airport stops there. Travel to Gangnam/Seongsu/Hongdae is about 1h by public transportation, Myeongdong around 35min. The area felt safe, I had no problems coming back late at night.

This place is simply not suitable for travelers who are seeking a comfortable and peaceful place to rest. It's not a good option.

The rooms are small, but for the cheap price, it's good. Having a shower in the room was nice, but using shared bathroom/toilet was not. You need to ask for room or specify when booking it online. The bed was particularly uncomfortable for me, as I had a bad back. However, buying mattress topper and asking for more blankets helped. Personally, I didn't like how hot my room was, but I usually prefer it cold. I had a hard time finding the place, but once I did, it was easy and transportation is good. 3-8 mins away are buses and subways, respectively. Places to eat, a park nearby, and good medical clinics nearby. If I could suggest a couple of things: use fabric softener on towels and linens, and use air fresheners in public spaces (at least). The best part of Dream Single House was the staff and service. Very helpful and kind. Very good place to stay if watching your budget!

Whilst the staff member present was helpful and polite in trying to make my stay as pleasant as possible, I struggled to complete my reservation here and ended up moving to another hotel. I'm assuming that they get you to wear slippers for hygiene reasons, but it was quite contradictory because these were not clean themselves, even when I asked the receptionist to confirm. So should be a bit more honest here. Luckily I had my own to wear instead. Similarly, I noticed some mould in the bathroom, which isn't good if you want to leave a positive impression in terms of cleaning. They did offer to move me to a goshiwon that had a bathroom included, which saves you the constant back and forth but my mind was made up at this point. Perhaps I may have had a more favourable experience if I had this room from the beginning, but I guess this is all to be expected with budget hotels.

Too many mosquitoes in the room

Very cool little goshiwon style place in a nice and chilled part of Seoul. An excellent price and I would definitely stay there again. Many thanks!

The women's floor had a number key lock on the door and I felt VERY safe! Shared bathroom and kitchen were also women only, which was nice. The room seemed small in pictures, but it really was the perfect, cozy size even for a longer stay (10 days). The manager/owner was SUPER helpful. I would not have been able to get a taxi and get to one of my appointments without his help! He was also very patient when I arrived late on my first day and thought I had lost my room key.

The front desk guy is very friendly and helpful

The room is very small but comfortable, the staff is very nice.
