Find Guest Houses in South Korea

It's a great place to stay in if you're going out all day to wander Korea. Good location. It's a close distance to the Train Exit. Close enough to the Dongdaemun shopping area, but far enough to have peace and quiet. Comfy bed. Towels and toiletries provided. Cleaning is upon request on the third day of your stay (I think). Breakfast is simple cereals, noodles and bread.

This was my 2nd time in Seoul and I’m so glad that I was able to find Ehwa in Agoda! We are a family of 7, all adults and the loft family room fits us perfectly! The loft has 4 queen beds, 1 on the 2nd flr, 1 inside a room and the 2 just on the main area. We have 2 bathrooms, a retro fridge, TV, huge AC and table and bench inside. We really got the price we paid for and MORE! The staff are really nice, and can speak and understand English pretty well so again, perfect! Location is superb, because it’s only a good 2-3 mins walk to myeongdong food and shopping street, myeongdong cathedral and myeongdong and euljiro subway station. I hate walking, so believe me when I say that those places I mentioned are really near the hotel. Hehe I plan on going back to visit Seoul again in the near future, and I would gladly book again here! Over and over if I’ll be given a chance! Enjoy a hassle-free trip to South Korea!

I reserved this room bcz of the location which is one of the nearest hotel from myeongdong station. As everybody can see, the location is really center of the myeongdong street. Even on the main street. And about the facility and breakfast, was really perfect for me .. Bcz i was a little bit tired of Korean food, light breakfast of orange juice and egg scramble was perfect, room was clean. As i heard they open in March from the manager, sue. I feel more than satisfied everything while i stay in k guest house. If i come back again, i definitely choose this place..if they have a available room !

the location is the best of the best. opposite to lotte mart and seoul station. downstairs are nearby restaurant, convenient shop and coffee shop. Facilities is well equip. Full equip of kitchen you can cook anythings, microwave, washing machine, big Refrigerator, fans, warm system, towel, shower gel, hair dryer, USB charger, adapter....... The room is clean and tidy and big, bed is comfort. highly recommend to everyone and i will definitely stay again next time. The owner is very nice, he what apps me when i arrive icn, show me how to get there by video. and help me order korea fry chicken in the night time! Highly recommend!!!

Philstay is the best Hostel I've stayed at so far! Room: It is fairly sized, very nice layout, luggage can be stored under the bed, Bed is so comfy and the sheets are great, you can request it to be changed anytime, The room is not that soundproof but its okay, the ceiling is low but we are short anyway, The mini Ref is very useful, but needs more energy to cool. TV is great. The Towels are changed always and they are high quality ones. The AC is great :) Needs more shelves on the walls if possible Bathroom: Very small but functional, very nice magic toilet with features, shower is great and can be a bidet, Amenities/Services: Wifi is the BEST not only in the Hostel but in all of Korea! The Breakfast was great many choices even though it repeats everyday. (We stayed 6 nights) but its okay no big deal! Other hotels have only eggs and toast but here they have add ons! The Mini wall mounted washing machine + spinners (4 per floor) are so cute and handy! We can wash almost any time for FREE!!! They offer free simcards too. They have so many services. You can also go to the rooftop to eat or just chill. Building has a LIFT! I hope we can find a fabric softener. Location: Its the best! It is 5 mins away from Myeongdong Station! Surrounded by restos, convenience stores, shopping area, etc! In Short close to everything! Staff: Very Friendly, Can speak great English, prompt and cleans right away. they are very approachable and gives us great advices! Price: A bit pricey than my usual bookings but its worth it! Conclusion: Would recommend this place and would surely come back!! I have never found a place so cute, modern, complete and functional! you can also meet new friends here!

We had a great stay in SH Seoul Guesthouse and it was really something we could call home during our 6-day stay in Korea. It is very accessible to all modes of transportation and we felt safe coming home to it at any time of the day and night. It is clean, cozy, and all the appliances are working well. The manager is very accommodating and friendly and we felt comfortable talking to him. Given its very affordable price, SH Seoul Guesthouse gives great value for your money. I highly recommend it to friends who will be traveling to Korea.

One man show indeed as he is the only one who takes care of the guesthouse. It is very near bus stops and CU which is convenient store to buy all stuff and T-Money which is very important in South Korea, that with google app for knowing the bus number to your destinations, near underground passage way to cross the street for Namdaemun market, 14 pieces socks to 10,000 Korean won during 5pm onwards. You can wash your clothes and hang it at the terrace. Mr. Kim left a great impression with me and my two kids that my son was crying after we left as he wants to stay again there. Thank you Mr. Kim!!

It was my second trip from NZ through Korea back to Europe and this trip I decided to choose something different, something closer to bus line 6002 from the Airport. Price was really good, location ass well and all my friend knew where is it. The first impression was OK... Secure, clean and quiet (do not expect something like **** hotel, you are paying for guest-house and it is guest-house/backpacker). All was fine just only floor heating was ON and no control nearby. I have no problem to sleep in room with higher temperature but someone can have problem. Anyway, air=condition was there but no remote control. If you can§t sleep in hot, ask for help at reception...

Stayed here with my sister and regretted that we booked only one night. For a guesthouse, I think it has the most hotel-like standard I've experienced in South Korea. Our room was simple with two beds, TV, a dresser, and a spacious bathroom. But there was plenty of space to move around and it wasn't suffocating even though we didn't have a window. Breakfast is a feast of eggs, toast, jam, cereals, coffee, juice and cup noodles. Receptionists are very nice, we felt really at home considering it was just a one-night stay. And location is perfect - just a few steps to both the subway station and Myeongdong Shopping District.

Expected a hostel like accommodations but was surprised that it was more of a luxurious high-end hotel! Upon check-in already was given a great site to see in the lobby area, where you can see the nearby ocean by the window side! Booked for one night in a all male dormitory. There were four beds and bunk style. Very elegantly presented and very clean! Shower and toilet was shared in the same room. Again I was surprised how nice this hotel was! Especially when I spent $10 for a dormitory! You also have access to the beautiful rooftop, free laundry (500 won for detergent), and free breakfast in the morning (Toast, rolls, cereal, OJ, Coffee, Apple Juice, Milk). Only con is that it probably isn't the best place to meet other travelers but rather a nice resort to yourself kind-of-place! Overall amazing value for what I got at the time. It was a shame I couldn't book for one night.

1. Location is on a flat land, a rarity in South Korea. 2. Just behind the busy alleys of Myeongdong, but still quiet. 3. 5 minutes walk to the Underground Stations, Taxi stands and Airport Shuttle. 4. 15-20 mins walk to Namsan Orumi (leading to Seoul Tower) and Namdaemun Market. 5. 10-15 mins taxi ride to most of tourist attractions (Jongno-gu and Yongsan-gu area) Special shoutout to the lovely owner and staff who are very friendly and super helpful.

It was a great stay at this guest house. Located along main road which takes u only 5-10mins walk to Nampo MTR Station, Lotte Duty Free, Gwangbo Shopping Street, Eating Market. 10th floor receptionist cum lobby allowed you to see the full seaview and GamCheon Culture Village too. They prepared breakfast material and we fried egg and made sandwich ourselfs. We took local bus from nearby bus stop to GamCheon Culture Village. Airport Limousin is the best transport which bus stop just nearby. Definately will stay again at this hotel if i go Busan next time.

I've been visiting Korea for the third time and stayed in Maxtyle for the second time. Guest rooms are large and very clean. Beautiful and attractive scenery from outside the window. Have a courteous and kind staff. Located in the heart of the city. Easy to access the subway because there was so many subway station around it. You can choose whether you want to exit way out by using elavator, escalator or by stairs. There was so many exit way out from the subway station. Not every exit have all this three facilities. You must study which exit have the facility you needed. You can also book for the Jumbo Taxi to airport from the reception counter. But bare in mind, there is extra charges for the highway toll may be collect from the driver upon arrive at the airport. >JUMBO TAXI fare is 75,000 won >Highway Toll fare is 10,000 won I'm not sure whether the highway toll fare should be collect from the driver or not. To be clear, should you ask the receptionist regarding this fare.

I stayed here for one night with my friends in a family room. All of us are very satisfied with this guest house, so I am leaving this recommendation for you. The room is clean, quite spacious (a bit small, but enough to stay). Also, this guest house is easy to find, and it has a reasonable price. The only thing I want them to improve is the breakfast. It provides us with free eggs, bread, and some butter and jam. That's it. Ah! Juice is provided as well. I saw one of the reviews say that this hotel provides cup-noodles, but it was not true. We could cook it after buying it outside. However, except for that, everything was great!

It is simply the best place to stay in Seoul, period. Not the best value, the best place. I have stayed in places that were easily twice as expensive and not as half as nice. Let's just say I would much rather stay there then even 4 or 5 star hotels - even if they were the same price. Of course you are going to think that I'm exaggerating. Let me give you just few of the examples that I experienced. First of all, I've never been anywhere where I've felt more welcomed, my own family included - and that's no knock on my family. Eugene, the manager, was a fantastic cook in the morning, making us full service breakfast sandwiches that were absolutely delicious that in Seoul would have easily cost $8-10 each. Mind you, we didn't pay all that much for the room so that's saying a lot. Second of all, the owner was there quite often (very nice man) and offered us ride the first morning we checked in to the subway station near by. Totally didn't need to do that but he did. Third of all, we were there to adopt our daughter to being her home. They could not have been more friendly and accommodating to our special situation, asking us non stop if we needed anything. If you don't read anything else about this review, READ THIS - the owner bought us a fancy cake from a very expensive bakery (Paris Baguette - for those of you who are familiar) the day after we took custody of our daughter to help us celebrate with the adoption. The cake literally cost them about 60% of the cost of the room for one night that we were staying at. Who does that? Do 5 star hotels do that for you? I don't think so. I can literally go on and on with examples similar to those above. This is one of those reviews I hate to write because I fear that it will become so popular and we won't be able to get a room the next time we are in Seoul at Lee Kang Ga. Next time we are in Seoul, there's only one place for me. In closing, my wife and I bought the guest house a small gift because they did that much for us.

Hostel Vanilla was the best hostel that I’ve ever stayed! The staff are nice and helpful, they helped us whenever we have problems. Breakfast was free, coffee, tea, noodles, eggs, were free to use. The interior design was cozy, they provided guests with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towel, dressing perfume, hair dryer, almost every thing that you’ll need. They also have a scale for guests to weight their luggage in the common area. The location was great, 3 mins walking distance to metro line 1 and bus station. There were buses to and from Incheon airport. I really love this hostel which really made me feel stay home away home, I will definitely stay here again next time when I go to Seoul. Thank you for giving me a great hostel experience !

Breakfast is free, though we always head out to eat. Too many good food in Seoul! There is a famous cafe opposite DW, the best chicken I had in Seoul around the bend, and a terrific 24/7 pork rib soup after the traffic light. The staff were the most friendly I have experienced in the entire South Korea, although I did not really like our room, as it was in the basement, had an extremely small toilet and always had a sewage stench. Try to opt for the better rooms to have a better stay. Cleanliness was however impeccable and the floors are heated!

I travelled to South Korea with my husband and 3 kids. One of which is a an almost teenage who is into Korea Boy Bands. To satisfy my everyone in the trip I have scheduled a hectic itinerary to please everyone. PHILSTAY in Myeongdong gave us a comfortable respite from a very tiring day. They also provide instant ramen noodles, cereals with some garnish and bread with spread for breakfast. Since we stayed there for more than 5 days we were able to have our room cleaned. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were also able to talk to the owner of the place and he made sure that we enjoyed our stay. The bed however is hard for my liking but since we were so tired I was able to fall asleep without difficulty.

Kimchee Sinchon Guesthouse has the most friendly atmosphere that any hostel can offer compared to other guesthouses I have stayed on. The moment I reserved my booking from Agoda.com, I was contacted separately through email by their staff confirming my stay with them and offered assistance as to what particular need I may require prior to my arrival. Upon check-in, the reception desk is glamorously decorated indicating the place's friendly and vibrant atmosphere. I was well-assisted. She's the coolest and hippest receptionist I have ever encountered. Since I arrived earlier than check-in time, she offered me to leave my luggages since I came from a long flight to Seoul. She then offered me travel tips as well as transportation guides since it was my first time in South Korea. In all, Kimchee Sinchon is a place that can clearly meet one's needs for a place to stay and refresh after a day of touring around and sightseeing - a decent bed, shower and toilet facilities which are periodically cleaned. Oh, I might forget the cozy basement they've got. It houses the kitchen, lounge, dining, internet facilities, free Wii, laundry and the awesome dart game. You can definitely hang on the basement and meet other fellow guests staying in the guesthouse and make some new acquaintances.

It was my first time in South Korea. I did my research and although i know where 24 Guesthouse is on the map, i cant be certain on how great is the location. Let me tell you this, the location is perfect, right in the heart of Myeongdong. I know there are probably other parts of Seoul that is great to stay but as a first time visitor and a solo traveler in Seoul, it was perfect. 4mins away from Myeongdong metro station and 4mins away from the airport bus shuttle station. and its 2-3mins away to all the hustle and bustle of Myeongdong. I dont even have to cross the main road, its right in the major tourist site of Myeongdong, filled with restaurants, night life and street food. The facilities is clean and organized, I even had a small fridge in my room, with hot running water (which was great since it was winter). Sean, the receptionist, was soo accommodating and friendly. All i had to do was say my name upon arrival and he had my room ready, eventhough i arrived a bit early.The floor was heated as well so you dont need to worry about being cold. but even if you do get a lil hot from the central floor heating, air condition is readily available in the room. To my surprise, they did not skimp on the television. they had a bunch of channels available, so i was never bored. Although if you are going to travel, maybe dont spend so much time on the tv hahah. Special thanks to Sean as well, since i know laundry is not provided as part of the facilities available, he was kind enough to offer their private guesthouse laundry facilities since i mentioned that i need to wash a few clothes dirtied in my earlier trip in Jeju. its just above and beyond service. hands down, i wouldnt mind coming back here on my next visit :D i highly suggest you giving 24 Guesthouse Myeongdong a try if you are in a small group or even a solo traveler in Seoul

I stayed in here for 3nights for sightseeing with my friend. The location of this guest house was really convenient to access any places in Seoul. Especially Hong Dae, Shin Chon are so closed-walking distance. The staff were so friendly and they offered a personalized service to other guests. I was very pleased with their sevice during my stay. They upgraded my room to the studio room with a bathroom and toilet facilities inside for the two nights as they had a spare room. I was really impressed with their breakfast choice and they cooked fresh omlette and eggs and I still miss a lovely cereal and syrup that I had!!! I would definitely stay in here in near future! Thank you.

My stay was overall good. Checking in was not a problem, and the lady was kind enough to give me so tips and pointers that really helped deciding what to do. As for the room, I felt it was ok. It had everything I needed plus I used to live in South Korea so I wasn't bothered by the bathroom being so small. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for an inexpensive location, breakfast inclusive, close proximity to the Seoul station (which is a blessing on its on), and kind staff.

The guest house is near by myeongdong shopping street. You can walk just 15 minute. For the people, who can't not go to hanok bukchon village, you can visit namsangol hanok village. This place is really near by guest house, just 5-10 minute to walk. I booked bunk twin room, so it is pretty small but I don't need more. Because I just come back guest house to sleep. Everything in the room ist kindly clean. You can use washing machine free. Staffs are also very friendly and always ready to help you. When I finished my booking, they sent me logistic informations with video to show how to find the guest house. When I have chance to go to Korea again, I will stay again here.

Ｍy first time travel in Seoul. This location is quite good! Bunk in the room is cozy and comfortable! They offer eazy breakfast such as toast and milk for free at dining room 24hrs a day. Besides, staff can help us to home delivery food previously at nighttime which was a great life experience as a local people do in Korea! Staffs and owner are very kind! They make you feel like that the place just like your home, warm and clean!! thank you guys there
