I had a pleasant experience at Dustin Guest House. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Hongdae, making it easy to explore the area. However, I found some aspects that could be improved, like the room cleanliness and a lack of shower shelves. Overall, it was a comfortable place to unwind after my adventures in Seoul.

The bed could have been a little more comfortable, but I managed to get full nights of sleep, which was a blessing after my travels. The cleanliness could use some attention, as areas like the bathroom weren't cleaned during my stay.

The location is great, just a short walk to the subway station and near numerous cafes. It's in a lively area but surprisingly quiet at night, which I appreciated.

While the WiFi was reliable and there was assistance for tours and tickets, I missed basic kitchen supplies like dishwashing detergent. Furthermore, a laundry option would have been beneficial.

My stay at Dustin Guest House was a mixed bag. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring Hongdae, with tons of shops and restaurants nearby. However, I was a bit disappointed by some things, like the musty towels and expired tea. It’s a great place for a short stay but might not be super comfortable for longer visits.

I stayed in a Bed in a 10-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room. The room didn’t have the best smell and needed a bit of extra care. Also, there was only one bathroom per floor, which could be an issue if it gets crowded.

The staff was nice enough, but I didn't feel super welcomed like I expected from the reviews. Sabrina was kind and even moved me to a triple room when I asked, which I appreciated.

Breakfast was pretty basic—just some toast and instant coffee. They could definitely step it up in this area, but at least it's free!

The guest house could use some renovations. The bathroom was not very nice at all, and there was no hot water on the ground floor.

However, the service left a lot to be desired, as the staff interaction felt quite unwelcoming. The room was decent overall, but the bed was uncomfortable and the bathrooms could definitely use some attention.

I had a mixed experience at Dustin Guest House in Seoul. The location was fantastic and lively, making it easy to explore the city, but my stay took a turn when I had to move out unexpectedly due to a group booking. I was shocked and felt a bit kicked out, but I found a decent place afterward. While the facilities and service were decent, the discomfort of the bed and some cleanliness issues left me wanting more.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at Dustin Guest House. On the bright side, the location was fantastic, right in the lively Hongdae area with easy access to transport and lots of dining options. However, some aspects fell short of my expectations, like musty towels and an unwelcoming atmosphere from the staff. Despite these drawbacks, it’s a decent place to stay for a night or two.
