Find Guest Houses in South Korea

Stayed here for a week. All of our special requests were granted. We got a room at the 7thflr. The view was very nice. Breakfast was composed of cereals, bread, noodles, orange juice, and milk. Good for filling up your stomach before heading out. What I like most about this hotel is their location. Super close to the train stations, malls, and DDP. Even to designated meeting places for tours. Will definitely stay here again when we return to Korea.

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 loved my stay here! The staff is very accomodating and friendly! The room i booked is small but very pleasent. :) It’s clean. Breakfast is also included, there are breads and cereals. You can also cook if you want. I loved the location, its near the train station. Also u can easily access the beauty stores and you can easily buy street foods once u go out the hotel. I will not look for other hotels anymore, i’ll surely book this hotel again when i go back to Korea! :)

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!!

1. The location is great! It only takes a 3-min walk to the subway station and to the bus stop. 2. Before flying to Seoul, Korea, I sent several questions regarding my 4-night stay, and I received quick replies from the staff. However, when I checked in on the first day, the staff was able to speak some simple Mandarin, which is great, but, when I tried to asked some questions in English, there were some misunderstanding and miscommunication. 3. The room I stayed was clean. But, the curtain and the bathroom were covered with some really small stains that had not been taken care of. 4. The breakfast was simple. Toast, jams, juice and boiled eggs, but it was satisfactory for me. 5. The room was not sound-proof. So, if your neighbors were loud, you would be waken up. 6. Although I booked the annex single non-smoking room, I smelled a bit of the smell of cigarette left by the previous guest. Luckily, my room was equipped with a big window, so the smell was gone soon. 7. The big window would make you feel cold during the night. Also, the noise from the outside could be easily heard. 8. There were lots of restaurants and stores nearby, you would be able to find everything you need. 9. Elevator was definitely a plus for the new building. If you are on a budget, with a need to travel alone, 24 Guesthouse Sinchon might be your choice!

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.

The house just near Hongdae . And he provide everything you may need. Even if you suddenly needs some other help. I can personal promise you that he will definitely do everything that he can do. ( but I’m not so sure if you need to pay more or not) the house is clean and quite. And it’s big enough to open two huge suitcases but still got place to move. I know to stay outside will probably be a little insecure but you can always find your host. That helps a lot(I’m serious) . If you want find a nice ,warm place near Hongdae. This will definitely be the best choice. Don’t forget to be a nice guest.😉 Oh by the way, if you left something (ex strawberry milk) in his refrigerator, don’t worry. He will kindly enjoy your little gift.😋

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.

I found the staff named Hyun/Voon (correct me if spell your name wrongly) and another staff named Jun. Both of them were very keen and helpful in showing me the way to the places where I want to visit. Hyun/Voon even cut me some coupons for the place where I'm going to visit to enjoy more discount on the entrance fee. TQ very much Hyun/Voon. Beside, he also recommended few places of the nice korea BBQ with reasonable price. On my last day in korea, we have a good chill out and chit chat at the guesthouse comfy area. The location of guesthouse is very near to myeongdong. Just need 5 mins walk or even less than that to myeongdong station. Just that you will be tired when walking back to the guesthouse after you had a long walk and shopping because the way to the guesthouse just like you walking to a hill (slightly abit high but not those very high). Overall, I am very satisfying to stay in Namsan Guesthouse 24 during my 7 days holiday trip in korea. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone. If happen I pay another visit to korea, I definitely will stay here again. :D

Location is excellent: Just 2 min walking from Hongik station - exit 3 and 5 min walking from Hongdae shopping street. The room is clean and comfortable. There are enough facilities for a short trip such as Microwave, washing machine, hair dryer, shampoo, body shower... The host is very enthusiast and adorable. She welcomes us at Hongik station, exit 3, guides us to the hostel. She answer quickly all our questions and even lend us a weight scale to check our luggage before leaving. Will definitely stay here again if we comeback to Korea.

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.

The name of this place is a bit misleading. It is actually a full hotel, not a hostel. I knew that when I booked, but just want others to be aware. All individual private rooms with their own bathrooms, no dormitories or anything like that. The room was clean and had a great view of the Han river. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the two different men I dealt with at reception (one on the day I checked in, a different one on the day I checked out) both spoke at least some English. They were kind enough to allow me to leave my suitcase in a storage room for a few hours after I checked out, while I had some things to do in Seoul that day. The rooms have airconditioning and underfloor heating. They also have a very strict no-smoking policy. If you don't smoke this is great as the rooms won't smell of smoke like a lot motel rooms in Korea do. If you smoke would suggest asking for a room on the 1st or 2nd floor so you don't have to go down too far before going outside.

Thanks so much for your kindness,i love to go back to your hostel if i come to korea again. 1. Best service The owner Ms Park very kind and help us to tell about what all we want to know. She give us surprise with bouquet of roses for our honeymoon gift, thanks.. We really appreciate it. 2. Great room The room is clean and very comfotable. 3.Good location the location is good because near subway station. Value for money and i will be back there again in my next vacation ! With love !!!!

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

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.

Good for money. Good location between myeongdong and chungmuro. Can literally go anywhere and everywhere from there since its the central. Guesthouse host is very friendly, very welcoming, and would go out of his way to help you do the necessary bookings or reservations fr attractions. The only con is that the breakfast variety not there, only cereals, bread and jam. Its not an issue for me as I love cereals just putting it out there. And the bathroom smells. Cannot really blame the guesthouse as the seweage in korea everywhere it stinks. If i were to come back korea, ill definitely choose this place again. I feel very at home 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
