Ryu House is ideal place to stay if you plan to stay in Seoul for couple of weeks to do cosmetic procedures or surgery. It's in walking distance to JK and many other cosmetic facilities/hospitals. The owner Danny and his emplyees are very thoughtful, kind, responsive, and supportive.

Staffs were friendly and helpful. The room was clean. The temperature of the shower was difficult to adjust. The water pressure was too strong. The worst of all was that the water shot right into your face but the shower head could not be adjusted.

Stayed 10 days in somewhere like suite. Private entrance and room with inside facilities of rice cooker, microwave, gas range, laundry washer and 2 door refrigerator. Seemingly a little bit small space for 2 adults but a decent place at decent price in Gangnam of Seoul if you stay longer than a week and use public transportation.

We saved so much by staying at the Ryu Guest House instead of a Marriot or Holiday Inn. It was like apartment studio living abroad in Sinsadong, Gangnam, Seoul, SK. Everything was walking distance to Metro, Food, Groceries (CU Market), Bars (Kompact Record Bar), Coffee Houses (Milestone) and Garosugil (Trendy Area). We felt very safe as well. Say hello to Denny for us from Heeyun & Tony :)

I stayed for a month and it was very enjoyable. The room felt comfortable and felt like a home. There was a lot of things available in the room that I did not expect, but very much enjoyed. We were given cups, utensils, plates, bowls, etc. My room was cleaned 3 days a week and the customer service was extremely great! Denny was very hospitable and helped whenever my daughter and I needed it.He made sure we were always good and even treated my daughter with a lot of care, She loves him and can’t wait to see him again if we visit. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and will definitely choose this place again when/If I come back.
