Forêt Guest House
I've stayed at Forêt Guest House four times now, and even though the ownership has changed recently, the service has actually gotten better—really impressed! I love traveling solo, and this place makes it so comfortable and safe. I booked a four-person room but was staying alone, and it worked out perfectly—plenty of space, good privacy, and no worries at all. The only small thing is the pillows—they're too soft and low, so I ended up bringing my own pillowcase with a stuffed toy to prop myself up. But honestly, that’s just a tiny detail in an otherwise outstanding experience. The atmosphere, cleanliness, and staff kindness make it worth every penny. Definitely coming back again. Thanks for such a great stay!
Seoul Forest Stay Guesthouse
Staying at Seoul Forest Stay Guesthouse was an absolute delight! The host was incredibly friendly and spoke fluent English, Korean, and even basic Chinese—making communication so easy. He personally showed me around the guesthouse with great care, explaining all the amenities and local tips. The single room is compact but spotlessly clean, with everything you’d need: toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a desk lamp, hairdryer, heater, air conditioning, and even toilet paper. Common areas provide towels for guests to use—very thoughtful. Located just steps away from Seoul Forest Park, it’s peaceful and quiet yet still super convenient for getting into downtown via subway. The value-for-money factor is outstanding. I’ll definitely be back!
Sungshin Women's University Brown Dot
Staying at Sungshin Women's University Brown Dot Hotel was an absolutely delightful experience. The cleanliness of the room and common areas was impressive—everything felt spotless, from the bathroom to the windowsill, which is rare in urban hotels. I loved how central the location was; right next to a bustling shopping district with plenty of dining and entertainment options within walking distance. Public transit access is excellent, making it easy to explore Seoul’s main attractions without hassle. The staff were friendly and attentive, offering helpful tips during check-in. It’s clear they care about guest comfort. With such a great balance of cleanliness, convenience, and hospitality, this hotel offers exceptional value. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul.
Hah Guesthouse
Staying at Hah Guesthouse felt like coming home—warm, cozy, and full of personality. The owner was incredibly friendly and attentive; when I mentioned a noisy exhaust fan in the bathroom on day two, they fixed it the same day with zero hassle. What truly made this place special were the three adorable cats—they’d wander around the second floor, especially one who loved hanging out by the water fountain near my door each evening, peeking in with curious eyes. So sweet! The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the subway station, making exploring Seoul super easy. With its charm, great service, and welcoming vibe, I’d absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique, authentic stay in Seoul.
Residence Unicorn
Staying at Residence Unicorn in Dongdaemun truly felt like coming home. The apartment was cozy, well-designed, and warmly decorated—right away you feel relaxed and at ease. The staff went above and beyond with their hospitality, always ready to help with any request, big or small. Every detail was thought of: kitchen essentials, clean linens, high-speed Wi-Fi, and even extra toiletries. I never had to worry about anything during my trip. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the subway and minutes from Dongdaemun Market and Myeongdong’s shopping streets. It’s rare to find such comfort, convenience, and care all in one place. I’ll definitely be returning next time I visit Seoul. Highly recommend for travelers who want a genuine local experience without sacrificing quality.
Mtt Guest House
As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and welcomed here. The hostel is tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood, yet surrounded by plenty of restaurants, convenience stores, and local eateries—perfect for daily needs. Every day at 11 AM, the host personally cleans the rooms, which really shows how much they care about hygiene and guest comfort. All photos are unedited and true to life. During my three-night stay, I met travelers from Japan, the U.S., and China—all respectful, friendly, and easy to get along with. The host is incredibly warm and engaging, fluent in English, Japanese, and Mandarin, making conversations smooth and natural. The space is clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully designed. For anyone traveling alone, especially women, this place offers peace of mind, great vibes, and excellent value. I’d definitely come back.
K-Grand Hostel Dongdaemun
Staying at K-Grand Hostel Dongdaemun was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the subway station and super convenient for connecting to both airports. Our room was clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly spacious for a hostel. The breakfast was simple but satisfying, with fresh options that gave us energy for the day. One highlight? The rooftop terrace—it’s peaceful, great for relaxing, and perfect for people-watching or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. Whether you're here for business or travel, this place offers excellent value and comfort. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul.
Dongdaemun Hotel
Staying at Dongdaemun Hotel was a great experience, especially thanks to the unbeatable location. Just steps from both Line 1 and Line 4 subway stations, getting around Seoul is super convenient—plus there are plenty of bus routes nearby, which I took more often than not. The hotel itself feels fresh and modern after recent renovations. One small downside: the bathtub has only about one-third glass enclosure, so water tends to splash out during use, which can be a bit messy. Also, the bathroom floor gets slippery easily when wet, so extra caution is needed. Water temperature in the shower fluctuates—sometimes too hot, sometimes too cold—so you’ll need to adjust frequently. On the bright side, there’s a power outlet right beside the bed, making charging devices super easy. Breakfast is simple but surprisingly generous: bread, cornflakes, milk, juice, instant noodles, and coffee—great variety for a basic spread. For airport transfers, I’d recommend taking the subway over the Airport Bus (Route 6002). The bus runs almost to its final stop and takes over an hour, followed by a 6–8 minute walk. The subway is faster and much more direct. Plus, the area is packed with restaurants, street food stalls, and fashion shopping spots—perfect for exploring on foot. Overall, excellent value and a very convenient base for any visit to Seoul.
LUMIA HOTEL JONGNO – Mood Hotel (Korean Café Style), Clean·Safe·Friendly
The room was immaculate and incredibly clean—right from the moment we stepped in, it felt like a cozy retreat. Just steps away from the hotel, both left and right lead to subway stations within a 6-minute walk, making city exploration super convenient. The lobby café offers free juice refills—perfect for a refreshing start to the day. If you're craving ramen, it's available for 4,000 KRW, which is fair for the quality. What made our stay truly special? We were lucky enough to experience Seoul’s first snowfall during our visit—such a magical moment! The hotel even placed a thoughtful “Caution: Slippery Floor” sign at the entrance, showing how much care they put into guest safety and comfort. It’s clear this place values cleanliness, security, and a friendly atmosphere. A standout stay with a warm, welcoming vibe—highly recommend for anyone visiting Seoul.
OYO hostel Dongdaemun 1
Staying at OYO Hostel Dongdaemun 1 was a delightful experience. The location is incredibly convenient—nestled in a quiet alley just steps away from the subway entrance, making it easy to explore Seoul’s main attractions. The atmosphere throughout the hostel is warm and welcoming, especially on the 5th floor where breakfast is served with soft background music. The heating system works well during winter, keeping the rooms cozy and comfortable. While there are no disposable toiletries (like toothbrushes), they do provide towels, which is thoughtful. Be aware that there’s no elevator—so if you’re not up for climbing stairs, request a lower-floor room. Noise levels are decent; even though soundproofing isn’t perfect, there’s minimal disturbance at night. One of my favorite moments? Sipping coffee on the 5th floor during a snowfall, listening to music, chatting with friends, and watching the city turn white—it felt like a scene from a movie. The front desk staff speaks excellent English, but service hours are limited to 8 AM–10 PM. For other times, you’ll need to use alternative communication methods. Overall, this place offers great value, friendly vibes, and a unique charm. A solid choice for travelers looking for comfort and convenience in central Seoul.
Ddp Stn Avenue
The hotel is excellent overall—great location, super convenient for getting around Seoul, and the staff are very friendly. My only confusion was that I booked a two-night stay, but I had to check out on the second day and couldn’t recheck in until after 6 PM. That timing restriction felt a bit odd and wasn’t clearly explained upfront. Still, the team handled it well, and even though I had to move my luggage, it didn’t ruin the experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and the value for money was strong. Definitely would stay here again.
Sungshin University Station Pav
The first room had a strong smell of smoke, which was quite unpleasant, so I asked to be moved. The staff were very kind and promptly arranged a new room without any hassle. However, the second room wasn’t much better—the bathroom felt a bit dark and slightly unsettling, and the overall facilities were just average. That said, the price is definitely affordable, making it a solid choice if you're on a budget. It’s perfect for students or travelers looking for a no-frills stay with good value. While not luxurious, it gets the job done, especially considering the cost.
