Hanriver Guesthouse

STEEP UPHILL - pulling even a carry-on is almost impossible. Taxi drivers may refuse to take you all the way up. Multiple Uber drivers cancelled on us probably because of the hill. Dogs and cats in the common room were unexpected and triggered my allergies. It’s also noisy and chaotic even when it’s just the staff watching TV and cleaning. Service was lacking, with weird and unusual rules like the common room not being open until 10:30am, only staff being allowed to use the open kitchen, cleaning costs extra, etc. The office was not visibly open when we arrived in the afternoon, which caused a lot of stress; buried in initial instructions we saw too late it said to connect with them first on WeChat, WhatsApp or Line so they could send the check in instructions. Yet the main door code is right outside so anyone could enter. When we did message on multiple platforms there was no response. When we asked about luggage storage we were told we could leave it just inside the main door next to the common room. When we asked if they had more secure storage they just said it’s not their obligation and we should just take valuables with us. I’ve never had a hotel or Airbnb say this. The shower is open and not even in the corner so water gets everywhere. There are many rules posted everywhere, which makes the place feel more like a quirky hostel / extended stay place (lots of additional rules for those staying > 1-2 weeks) though from our booking platform it seemed more like a hotel with private rooms. The positives: - cheap - rooftop had a good amount of enclosed and open air seating, with a nice view including of the Han River - room was cute in a girly way. Ours had a narrow deck with seating and a partial river view - you can help yourself to free purified water and toothbrushes, and more towels (medium size only)

I went on a trip with my family and had a good time in the guesthouse! The rooms were divided by color, and my family stayed in the white room, and I really like it and it felt clean! It was good to have simple food in the morning. If I go on a trip again next time, this is the accomodation I want to stay at. 가족들과 여행에서 묵은 게스트하우스에서 좋은 시간 보낼 수 있었습니다! 객실도 색깔별로 나뉘어져 있었고 저희 가족은 흰색방에서 묵었는데 매우 맘에 들었고 깔끔한 기분이 들었습니다! 아침에는 직접 간단한 음식이 준비되어 있어 좋았습니다. 다음번에도 여행을 간다면 묵고 싶은 숙소입니다.

My trip was in October 2019 and I did really really enjoy in here. When I arrived to Seoul and I realized I had forgot all of my money in my country. The host, who was accepted me to charge in the day later. That was so kind of her for understanding. I’m really appreciate about the service also. Honestly, every staff in Hanriver Guesthouse are so beautiful with good service. you guys did really good. The transportation always ready. Especially , Subin - a guy tried to help me where I could hire a bycicle. I really appreciate his best service and friendly. I’m interested with the host is an artist. I really like the indoor space with her paintings. About the room, me and my group stayed in 6th Floor. A room with Han river view. I really enjoyed my stay in here. This place make my trip become memorable.
