John
Situated in the heart of Seoul's Gangnam District, Big John's Place boasts both an unbeatable location and amenities unlike any other B&B, guesthouse or hotel in its price range. Stay in and barbecue on the patio, relax in the outdoor hot tub, or watch TV on the over-sized screen, or head out and find all the culture and excitement Seoul has to offer right at your doorstep!
With years of experience at Marriott hotel behind his back, John take cares of the guests with a 5-star quality service. These are what the previous guests say about him and his staffs. "I was so impressed with how helpful the staffs are, they would always try their best to help anything that we asked and fulfill our requests. I know everything sounds too good to be true; but I guess there's always some people who are truly genuine and passionate about providing great heart-warming hospitality? Now I have found one." - Nicqui, Singapore "John's English is perfect and this helped a lot. We have never been out of Europe before and Seoul felt distinctly foreign to us, but John made us feel at home immediately, taking us under his wing." - Tricia, England "The service went well above and beyond expectations. The owner, Big John, couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. He seemed to have his finger on the pulse of the city, knowing all the best places to check out, exactly when and where the action was happening, and he gave us plenty of great tips and info that really helped to make our trip extra special." - David, Canada
