My stay at Kimchee Gangnam Guesthouse was a mixed bag. The rooms were decent and clean, and I appreciated the convenient location near the subway station. However, the service left much to be desired, with issues around cleanliness and the owner's attitude. Overall, while the guesthouse has good aspects, I likely won't return due to my negative interactions.
