Disclaimer: I only stayed in the guesthouse once, in year 2013. Do check Agoda/Booking and all other website for any additional info for your reservation. All the writings are from my observations & experiences only ^^
~So here it goes. the good part:
The price. Since we were travelling in a group (3 adults and I children) we thought of booking 2 rooms or rooms that big enough to have 3 adults in. But then I'm really claustrophobic lol..I know I cant stand enough with so many people in a room for 7 days,so finding Uno G.house is really practical for us. We measure the room size with the one we stayed before and realised that this is it. The one room that can fit us all and cheap!!!
It was really cheap to compare having to book 2 rooms in other place. So the decision was made.
Before we arrive in Seoul, I received an email from the person in charge here and was surprised that they gave out such a detail explanation on how to come to the guesthouse from the airport.We were really impressed.
The day we arrived..the not so good part, because well, it was like in an apartment area, there was no lobby or place you can come and check in. We went to the room that was supposed where we will meet someone who will lead us to our room, but alas no one was there. It was funny because it was never occurred to me that I need to get in contact of the person at that exact time. Good thing we have roaming and we call the number. And that person come right away.
The room..is really spaciaous. Well with the price that we paid, and actually the room was meant for 6 people, so with just 3 of us, we have such a large room by ourselves.

| the stairs there which make the place so cool -its actually a place for 2 or 3 more people to sleep ^^ |
The area:
Chungmuro, just 10 - 15 minutes walking to Myeongdong (We did walk all the way to Namdaemun and back on the last day) .From the building is just 5 minutes to the Chungmuro Subway. This is really convenient. And the subway is a blue line, connecting to Myeongdong if walking is such a hassle and also the orange line that can brings you to Gangnam area.
Oh yes, the Namsangol Hanok Village is just probably on the way to the subway station itself, so it was practically just next to the guesthouse. And yes there is a lot of cafe around the place in case you want to get a cup of that hot cappuchino ^_^
The bad part.. well I don't think this will be bad depending on individual reasons and needs. We practically didn't watch the TV since we didn't know how to operate it since all instructions is in Korean. And since we were in the rooms only for night time, we just don't really bother to ask anyone to teach us, or wait for them in the morning. And yes, we spend time watching the drama in our phone since the WiFi in Seoul is super efficient !!
The bad part is just you just need to get used that this was not a hotel, and there was times when we think the place was a little bit in shady area, since the room was in the apartment with the other Seoulites. You probably don't want to stay in the place alone if safety is your biggest issue.
The area was quite compared to Myeongdong, but hey, at least you will not feel bad by not buying a lot of make up and bags lol..
The plus part as you could see is that there is a kitchen and washing machine inside the room. This is super win point for this place as you could cook your own food, especially for us, which needs all Halal food. Oh and I remember we even bought some eggs lol. Yes, so we were happy eventhough there is no breakfast prepared for us, we practically change the house to be the best Malaysian food stall ever !! ^_^

| ..we practically make use of the big table with all our food!! |
So the conclusion is will I stay here again? Answer :Yes. If only I have a large group of friend with me. The size, the kitchen wins major point. More pictures here from their FB page. Hopefully they still be around for my next trip in Seoul!!!!! ^_^
