Nanu Guesthouse KPOP

Nanu Guesthouse KPOP is the place to go if you’re a KPop fan. It’s in Hongdae and you will really have a lot of fun!

Corridor walls filled with big portraits of Hallyu stars, shelves with KPop photobooks, KPop themed bedrooms, Nanu Guesthouse KPop is definitely a K-Pop fans’ haven.

I was supposed to be there by 8 pm but I got a bit lost because I didn’t see any sign. It’s a new guesthouse so the lack of a signboard is understandable. The Google Map was right but I was hesitant to go inside because it looks like a private house.

Anyway, here’s what it looks like from the outside:

Fortunately, I was able to contact them through their Facebook page. They sent me a map, and I was welcomed as soon as I got there.

Honestly speaking, I’m not a fan of KPop but most of my readers/followers are. I went there so that I may be able to tell them what it looks like. I must say that I didn’t disappoint them. It was fun doing Facebook Live to tour them around.

My favorite thing about this guesthouse is the presence of interior plants in every room. It made me feel relaxed.

Nanu Guesthouse has five branches:

• Victorian (the vintage style),
• Pink (hello kitty themed rooms),
• Blue (different themed rooms that suits every style),
• Black (black and white monochromatic style), and
• the KPOP guesthouse (the latest and the biggest)

I went to the latest branch of Nanu Guesthouse. Their rooms are named after the famous Korean groups. In fact, my room is called SNSD room. It means Sho Nyo Shi Dae (Girl’s Generation). My room is indeed filled with pictures of the girl group.

I don’t have a private bathroom but it didn’t make me feel uncomfortable. There’s a corner for hair drying/make-up. There are two cubicles in the toilet. The sink is clean. There’s a table and chairs across the two shower rooms. 

They have 10 rooms named after famous Korean groups.

They have free breakfast but you have to prepare it yourself. Inside the refrigerator, you’ll find loaves of bread, a large container of jam, and some juice. If you want to eat other food, you can buy it in the convenience store and cook it in the kitchen.

As you can see, you may use the water heater, toaster, and microwave in their communal area.

I don’t know how many staff they have in a day. There are times when the reception area is vacant. I guess they are multitasking. Anyway, the staff can easily be contacted using Kakaotalk. They are accommodating, and they respond to the questions well. I met two of them but just for a brief time. The staff are foreigners, they speak English and Korean well.

Take Note!

• Don’t smoke! If you smoke, they’ll terminate your contract without any refund.
• If you’re sensitive with the footsteps, choose the rooms in the 2nd floor.
• Don’t choose the rooms next to the main entrance so you won’t hear the sound of the door lock everytime it opens.
• If I go back there, I would definitely choose the Infinite room.
