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.
