Time Guesthouse
Time Guesthouse is by far the best guesthouse I have ever stayed in. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing, and the staff makes it feel as if it is your second home. Not only are they friendly, they are readily available to answer any questions or give you plenty of advice on where to visit around Seoul.
This amazing painting was done by a 19 year-old girl studying in Hongik University. The details of this painting are incredible, and really helps to bring the artistic vibe Hongdae is known for to the guesthouse.
By far one of the best games I have ever played. This was my favorite game in the states, and I was so shocked to see it here. I spent many hours playing this with other guests.
Living Room
On the tables there are notebooks filled with memos from guests who have left comments for the staff and for other future guests. Some guests even drew pictures or wrote poems if they didn't know what to say. It is so amazing to read through this and see the heartwarming comments from some of the guests. If you have a chance to stay here, definitely read through these and leave your own personal comment.
Kitchen
In the kitchen there is everything guests need to cook simple snacks or meals at their leisure. The kitchen also includes a minicafe with a variety of coffees and teas for the guests. In the morning, breakfast is held from 7am-10am. Many guests go in an out all day long, but during breakfast time you can see most of the guests joining together to eat, even those who are still half asleep.
Tours
Time Guesthouse also offers deals on tours around Seoul for those guests who do not have anything particularly planned for their trip. Tours include amusement parks, DMZ, performances, and even a ski trip during the winter. The prices are discounted so if you have a chance, I recommend to participate in some of these tours.
Room A
Room A is a shared room between male and female. It accommodates 4 people, which you can share with other guests or with 3 of your friends.
Room B
This room is the men's dorm, and holds up to 8 people. However, if the other rooms are too full, or guests would like to stay with some of their friends, girls are allowed to stay in this room as well.
Room C
Room C is strictly a women's only dorm, and can hold up to eight people. A large bathroom is also included in this room for Room C guests only.
Room D
This is the big downstairs family room. This can be used for a group of friends or family, holding up to 4 people at a time. There is a large bathroom, closets, and mini kitchen included in the room. This room is great for larger groups who want a private room during their stay in Seoul.

Staying in another country can be confusing and lonely at times, but the staff here will make sure you feel comfortable and at home while you are traveling here in Seoul.
