Apollo Guesthouse

Located on the outskirts of Seoul, Apollo Hostel was a 10-minute market away from the metro station. Next to it were shops to buy things when needed. The room was spacious, convenient and relatively clean (compared to the other hostels I did in Seoul). When you arrive, you even check in and check out. That's why I put a 3 out of 5 star rating on the staff, to remain neutral in my opinion.

We arrived in apollo early, but the regular check in is 2pm supposed to be, but they allowed us to check in early they are accomodating. The place is so quite,nice, clean. I recommend this hotel nice and chepeast.

The room is clean and well preserved. Quite and hygiene. The owner is really nice. Neighbour is a bit noisy but hey, it's travel not studying in the library so it's fine. There's kitchen but I did not use it. Not many shops around so it is better to go back to hostel earlier if you are traveling alone. Drawback: really humid that I have to open the windows in the toilet but then cool wind came in.

I spent a night at this establishment and hence can’t give a full review as a result, but from my short stay the host was receptive, helped me with my luggage all the way to the fifth floor even though I insisted in carrying my luggage. The room was clean with Air conditioning.

Honestly, if you’re looking for a cheap place to stay in the city this is a spot for you. It was 5-10 minute walk from the metro (depends on one’s walking speed) so if you have a lot of luggage be prepared. In addition, if you have any allergies or asthma I don’t recommend booking this place. Although the room was ‘clean’, no stains, dirt, visible mold, etc, it smelled entirely of mold. It could have came from the bathrooms since it’s a wet room and has poor ventilation but regardless, it triggered my asthma and allgeries. I had a hard time breathing in the room and it took me all day outdoors to recover from sleeping there for one night. My face and eyes were breaking out, which means there must have been dust/ mold behind the walls, the the vents, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ also, be prepared to find mode of transportation if you have an early flight. Metros open at 5:30am and from that location it would take 1.5 hours by metro and 1.15 hours by metro/ bus. Bus fare is 17,000won so be prepared for that. The hostel offers van services to airport for 40,000 and 80,000won. The AC worked, the towels they gave had a lingering sweat odor, the bed was hard, but hey, i ordered a single room and it was spacious enough for me to have my privacy. There is a small kitchen but it should be cleaned out. People left very old food in there with notes “free” or “take me” when the only free thing should be it’s transport to the trash can. Again? Just want to emphasize if you have allgeries and asthma don’t book here. If you don’t, then go ahead and enjoy!!

We arrived late but the host was flexible and easy to contact. There was no light on the door so the guesthouse was little bit hard to find. Near shops and the airport shuttle.

I came in night around 12pm when in guest house couldn't reception. So I can't enter my room then I wrote a letter for then. Because of these reason I lost one night sleep and so much energy so confused 🤔

It’s so moist like living in the basement.

Okay for short stay
