Location is good, very near the station. The room have no AC, lucky the stuff kind enough to lend me a fan for my staying. The wall make from wood board, so you can hear people chating and watching tv from other side. So sometime I woke up in the middle of night, because of the noise. The big problem is not the noise, is the bed bugs or something. The 1st two night wasnt that bad, because I didnt get biting much, so i didnt notice. Only the thrid night I start feeling my body is very itchy. So I start check my body, and I saw alot of bites on my body. That night I didnt really get much sleep. Lucky I only there for 4 days, so just try to get few hours sleep on my last day and catch my early flight next day. If you guys dont mind the bed bugs bites, Don Quixote Stay is good. But for me I will not come back to Don Quixote Stay again.

Stayed for a very short time (in late out early). Room was clean but basic. Frosted glass wet room/toilet, you need to be friends with the people you are sharing with!

Private wet bathroom :)
Overall a good place to stay for the night. Owners are friendly and helpful. Bed is comfy. Private wet bathroom in the room is the best part. Some guests can be heard talking in the hallways late at night. No windows to circulate fresh air. Floors need to be swept and/or mopped to remove dust and stray hairs. Breakfast is basic. Towels are small. Corner store and public trans very close. I would stay here again.

Comfortable but odd location
I liked that all the rooms have their own bathroom and, I think, wifi. Breakfast was provided. Also it was very clean and nicely decorated. The owners are very kind and helpful as well. The location isn't super convenient. It's just across from a metro station, but that particular line has some long waiting times. It's helpful to look up its times online. Bus 143 goes north to insadong, but there's about a 15 min. walk to the station. There are closer buses, but I only used the 405 to go south, which was alright. But another plus is that you can walk to the lovely Han River.

Worst Hotel. Avoid!
This is by far the worst hotel we have ever stayed in during 25 years of personal and business travel throughout the world. We left after 3 nights and moved to proper hotel. Rooms are clean, but absolutely minuscule. 'Breakfast' is defrosted bread that you can toast, and sometimes includes filter coffee. Wash your dishes afterwards. The 'kitchen' is on the roof terrace, only open 7-10am, so it is useless if you want to make a cup of tea at another time or you have an early morning appointment. Hotel is on 4th floor. Stairs are disgustingly dirty. Floor 1 is restaurant. Floor 2 and 3 have toilets (for restaurant...? They are always open to public...) Staff at courier company across the street start early and are very noisy. Hostels have much bigger, better accommodation and facilities. They are also lively and full of interesting people. Don Quixote is like a mausoleum.

Small price for a smaller room
Honestly didn't expect much for the amount paid and nothing exceeded my expectations. If you want a semi-clean, extremely small room for a night then this could be acceptable to some, but not all. I only needed one night thankfully and I wouldn't recommend more than that.

A good hostel
i feel good to stay there at this price. The room is clean n staff is helpful. The environment is quite n peaceful n near subway station. Also the room tempature is warm when outdoor is cold. The only defect is no restaurant there and we can only buy food fm 7/11. However, i will stay in Quixote if i wanna save money. it is worth to stay there at this price.

NOT FOR THE DISABLED
I requested details about the disabled room at this stay but none were forthcoming from yourselves.....The fact that this is a 4th floor walk up should have been noted in your details...very bad information provided by you. The Stay itself is great 4.5 out of 5. clean rooms, nice management, easy use extras...kitchen to use...coffee always available gratis....as too eggs and other stuff for breakfast. washing facilities. but big problem for me had to walk 4 flights of steps which were not detailed in breakdown of location. Near to Seobinggo train station and near airport bus stop too. great place

I want to keep this place a secret
I feel very conflicted about this review. The good part of me wants to offer the good review this place deserves. Yet, my more selfish side wants to keep this place a secret. It is my inexpensive, reliable, go to place when I hang out in Seoul every weekend.

Well worth the cost in my opinion. I found the location very convenient, as it was close by an airport limousine stop and right across the street from Seobinggo station. It was very easy to get to any of the tourist spots via subway from Don Quixote Stay. The rooms are small but have everything one would need.

Generally good
This guesthouse lived up to my expectation, I was needing a private and quiet,yet conducive place to work on my task, and this guesthouse has all the right qualities. Recommend highly for business-related travellers who needs cheap alternatives. Near to Turkey embassy in Seoul. Surprisingly, I was told by owner that they operated this guesthouse for only 6 months. However, their hospitality are superb. They are very respectful. Being a new guesthouse, it is clean and tidy. Cleaning takes place daily. It is not far away from the Han River park, where I took a few evening walk before dinner. Neighbourhood is quiet and there are not much eateries and no pubs (conducive environment for me during my stay). For those who are not okay with stairs, then please look for other guesthouse as this guesthouse is situated on the 4th level. There is a lift, but not sure if it can take human (luggages are definitely okay) Near to Seobinggo Metro too, thus travelling to different part of Seoul is rather convenient in my view

Neat little place near Yongson base.
The room was clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. I love the rooftop for breakfast. The only thing I would change is to put curtains over the little window that overlooks a hall that's always lit. I have to cover it with blankets to go to sleep.

Great stay!
I stayed for 2 nights. Check in was a breeze, the room was super clean and comfy. I'm not sure why this place is rated as a 2 star, it should be a 3 or above. The staff are phenomenal, they give you a tour of the rooftop and explain about breakfast etc. They also will answers any questions you may have of the area. This place is right across the street from a subway stop and very near itaewon. The view from the rooftop is beautiful at night. Namsan tower and the city view is breath taking. I would recommend this place to anyone. The only down side I have would be that this place is located on the 4th floor of a building...with no elevator so if you have heavy luggage.....I don't know what to tell you. All in all......Great place and I'll be booking again!!

Had an amazing night stay here
I had a great time at this hotel or guest house. Whatever it was. You basically get a tiny one room to sleep in. It has only a single bed, a desk with TV and a tiny private bathroom. What I liked is the fact that for this price, I can stay in a room alone and have a private bathroom. Regardless of how small it was, it was perfect for one person to stay for a short time. Each room has their own router for wifi. There room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Again the room was small but I am claustrophobic and I loved the room. The day when I stayed there, I was quite busy and booked it around 7pm and arrived there around 10:30pm. The area felt a little less comfortable mostly because it was so late so it was very dark because it was more of a residential area but it was just a few minutes from Seobingo station maybe even less than that. I got up there and there were signs in English and Korean. My room has a post-it note with my name on it so I went in and the owner came down to check if if everything in the room was okay and then he took me to the rooftop garden to show me everything and we had a conversation up there. His English isn't perfect of course but he is quite good at it. I highly recommend this place.

사진이미지와 다르다고 하시는데 무엇이 다르다는것인지요? 직접 방문하시지도 않고 친구분들 말씀만으로 하시는것은 아니라 생각됩니다. 사진과 같이 거실과 각 룸안에 화장실 있는 그대로 입니다.주차문제 또한 들어오신 시간대에 많은 주차로인해 옆에 세우셨다가 밤 12쯤되면 거진 다 빠지지 그때 옮기셔도 될것 같다고 말씀드렸습니다. 그리고 늦은 시간 문제남겼듯이 2명만 오신다고 하셨기에 기다리다 문자로 남겼을때 못 오신다는 문자만 받앗습니다. 그리고 그냥 가신다고 해서 냉커피까지 사드리고 제가 해 드릴 수 있는 것은 이것 밖에 없다고 미안하다고 인사도 해드렸습니다.

실내온도는 24~26도를 유지하고 있으며 너무 낮은 온도로 감기환자가 발생하기 때문입니다. TV채널은 스카이 라이프로 사용되고 있으며 주말에는 반포세빛섬에서 밤도깨비 야시장에 대해 설명드린것으로 알고 있습니다. 인덕션사용또한 음주로 인해 화상이 많이 발생되어 옥상 카페를 이용하시라고 말씀드린것으로 알고 있습니다.

Cold, nothing other
There is not air conditioner in all customers room, owner will adjust control it by their room. How can I sleep into cold room? I was just freezing until morning, I asked them 2 times “Can you do more hotter in room?” They told me “It’s already did, outside is cold, we are doing 25 degrees in hotel!” I never feel over 25 degrees, NEVER. I have had problem on my belly, then cold room... plus lukewarm water from shower only. Am sorry I never use this hotel again. However owners attitude was quite good. 部屋にはエアコンはなく、ホテルのオーナー達が管理しています。私は部屋があまりにも寒く眠れないので オーナー達に部屋をもう少し暖かくしてもらえませんかとお願いしました。そしたら彼等は25度に設定してある！外が寒いせいだからそう感じるんだ といわれました。私は絶対に25度の部屋には感じませんでした。朝まで寒いなかいました。お湯もぬるま湯しか出ませんでした。お腹の具合が悪くなりました。私はこのホテルを二度と使いません。それとオーナー達は感じは良かったです。

용산역 근처에서 접근이 쉬운 가까운 숙소
용산역 근처에서 볼일이 있어 1박을 하였는데, 시설도 깔끔하고 이동도 편하여 사용이 좋았습니다. 특히 4인실은 거실이 있어 조금 더 편안합니다. (대신 침대는 3인용입니다.) 저녁시간에 시끄러운 손님들이 있을 수 있으나 이건 지역적 특징(이태원 근처라 외국인 여행객이 많아서) 때문이라고 생각해야 될듯합다. 2인실은 침대 이외의 공간은 좁으나 1일 머물며 잠을 자려는 목적이면 나쁘지 않은것 같습니다. 아마 다음에도 용산역 근처에 들릴 일이 있다면 또 예약할 생각입니다.

작은 방 안에 복도로 난 작은 창 외에는 밖으로 난 창문이 없고 침대가 좁아 좀 답답합니다. 하지만 미니 냉장고 등 방안에 있을 건 다 있습니다. 전체적으로 깨끗하게 관리되고 있는 점이 가장 마음에 들었고, 주인 내외도 아주 친절했습니다. 서빙고역 지하철에 내려 1번 출구로 나오면 바로 보여 찾기 쉽습니다. 가격대비로 생각하면 만족스러운 숙소였습니다.

Staff is nice and very polite. The room was what I was looking for: a cheap place to sleep and let my luggages while I was visiting the city. It is very clean and convenient (like small but well designed, wifi is working well, there is a fridge, tv, desk and a fun toilet/shower combo). The rooftop is also very nice. The only (small) negative point might be the district (not very fancy or active) and transportations. There is a train station right next to the hostel but it is not the most direct line to the city center even if the traveling time is more than reasonable (in any case trains and especially taxis are quite cheap in Seoul).
