CutiCuti: Seoul - Dongdaemun 2C House

Assalamualaikum. 안녕!

Guesthouse: Dongdaemun 2C House
Duration of stay: 28 Dec 2013 - 2 Jan 2014 (5 nights)
Price: 45,000₩ per night (RM 140.00) - Double room without breakfast

Direction: Sangwangsimni Station Line 2, Exit 4
- Walk straight after exiting the station
- Take left on the first junction
- Take right on the second junction
- The guesthouse will be on the left.

Booked via booking.com
The main door to the guesthouse. 
If u came early (like us), chances the manager hasn't arrive is high. So they provide a phone just outside the guesthouse to inform the manager. 
Buka pintu, teruslah jumpa office. The manager will be at his office from 9a-5p; Mon to Sat.
Turn right after entering the main door, jumpalah lorong ke guest rooms. 
Kami sampai awal, so lepas checked-in, settled payment & ambil kunci bilik we left our bags at the office. Later we came back in the evening, bags sudah ada dalam bilik.
Ada tv, ada refrigerator & plugs yang super banyak. Ondol floor pun ngam2 suhu.
Attached bathroom. Standard size bathroom di South Korea. Yang penting ensuite & bersih. And water heater works well. 
Stairs will lead to the basement where the kitchen & laundry room are located.
Self-service laundry. 2,000 (washing machine) & 1,000 (dryer). Towel boleh tukar berapa kali kita suka. And guesthouse ni provide 'real' body towel. Ada face towel juga. Toilet tissue pun ada. Controller untuk ondol floor pun di sini. 
The place where I showed my kungfu skill every morning & night. Selama 5 malam stay sini, memang santap home-cooked meal jak. The guesthouse provides phone untuk call taxi or the owner.
View kami everyday bila keluar. Depan guesthouse ada tadika, so memang pagi2 jak nampaklah seketul dua muka budak comel tersembul depan pintu pagar. 
The only regret we had during our stay was the very very poor internet connection. The modem is just outside our room but we barely got a clear signal. Even the modem wifi that we rented couldn't get connected. Terpaksa letak tepi tingkap like what I did when I stayed at BP; June last year. Pastu baru perasan, the guesthouse sangat rapat with the next building. Same reason kenapa ndak da wifi connection masa kami di BP dulu. Maybe kalau kami stay di first floor or the room facing the entrance gate, baru dapat clear coverage.

If asked will I stay here again, I would definitely say YES. Despite the internet thingy, I am satisfied with their service. Complete facilities. Helpful staff; willing to help whenever needed. Most importantly, location! This guesthouse is very near to the subway station & NOT in the hilly area.

    1. Hahaha tulah, bagi aku kalau xde pun xpe sebab dah ada fridge pun kat shared kitchen tu. Cuma nak mendaki tangga nan curam tu jelah kesian kat guest 2nd floor. Konsep kesian sangat kan. Eh muat ok kalau ko bersila. Nampak kecik sangat kat gambar tapi average je saiz dia sebenarnye. TAPI xdelah seluas Namsan GH. Itu yang pasti. Aku tiap kali gi memang duk hostel lain2. Coming trip ni je aku plan nak duk Namsan GH sebab sepelaung je ngan Myeongdong, boleh letak aunty aku kat situ while aku roaming tempat lain.

    1. First time aku pigi sana stay di Dongdaemun lah. Ngam2 berdepan sama Dongdaemun Gate. Myeongdong ok juga, dekat segala2. Macam Dongdaemun juga. Cuma hostel yang ni, dia 2 stations away dari Dongdaemun yang betul2 tu.

      Lek2 ko. Ngam juga tu banyak kerja terus cuti baru siok. Tukar ko sana Wisma, ada murah sikit rate nya.

    1. Floor heating system. So bila winter, xdelah beku kaki pijak lantai super duper sejuk. Dulu kala diorang guna kayu api, bakar kat bawah lantai. Now ni dah install heater. Maju katanye.

    1. Hahaha ondol floor adalah sangat perlu kalau gi situ time winter kan. Rasa tapak kaki macam kena sengat lebah je kalau xde ondol tu. Dah dapat sindrom rindu Seoul ye. Welcome to the club gitu.
