My stay at Sarang Guesthouse Dongdaemun had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, with convenient access to public transport and nearby late-night eateries. However, the facilities left much to be desired, particularly with issues like the bathroom drainage causing an unpleasant odor and inconsistent heating in my room.

I had a mixed experience at Sarang Guesthouse Dongdaemun. The location was great with easy access to public transport and nearby late-night eateries, but the facilities left much to be desired. The room had a persistent sewer smell due to drainage issues, and the air conditioning was either unbearably cold or too noisy to sleep well.

While the location was fantastic, making it easy to access public transport and late-night eateries, the facilities were in dire need of maintenance. The room had a persistent sewer smell, which was quite unpleasant, making my experience less than ideal. Overall, it had its perks, but the comfort factor could definitely use some improvement. 🌆😕
