PungGyeong, Korea Traditional House
Staying at this traditional Korean house was an absolute delight! The breakfast was simple yet homely—warm, comforting, and just right to start the day. The room was spotlessly clean, with authentic Korean architectural details that truly captured the essence of old Korea—wooden beams, hanok-style layouts, and a peaceful ambiance. The host was incredibly welcoming and always ready to help, offering thoughtful tips on local transport and nearby attractions. It felt less like a hotel and more like staying in a cherished family home. For anyone looking to experience real Korean culture in Seoul, this is a must-try. Highly recommend for its charm, comfort, and heartfelt hospitality.
Tong Tong Petit Hotel
Tongtong Petit Hotel is an absolute gem—cozy, charming, and perfectly located right near Ikseondong Hanok Street, Bukchon Hanok Village, and Gwangjang Market. At night, the lively Pocha Street (with its street-side bar tents) comes alive just a 2-minute walk away, offering endless food options. The Jongno 3-ga Station is only a 4-minute stroll, making public transit super convenient. The room was exactly as shown in the photos—small but thoughtfully designed, spotless, and even came with a back massager, which was a delightful surprise. I especially loved having a cozy café on the ground floor for my morning coffee fix. Perfect for solo travelers who value comfort, convenience, and a genuine local vibe. A standout stay in Seoul!
Seoul Hanok Stay Jnpstay
Staying here was an absolute delight! The traditional hanok design gave the room a unique, authentic Korean vibe, yet everything felt modern and well-maintained. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the space was thoughtfully laid out, and even the bathroom was spotless and spacious. The staff were warm and helpful throughout our visit—check-in and check-out were smooth and stress-free. Location is excellent too; it's just a short walk from the subway, making it easy to explore downtown Seoul. I couldn’t ask for more in terms of comfort, charm, and value. Would definitely book again if I return to Seoul—highly recommend this gem!
Hostel Korea - Changdeokgung
The triple room we stayed in had four beds, and the space was actually larger than I expected—definitely more roomy than most hostels I've been to. The front desk staff speaks a bit of Chinese and can manage basic English conversations, and they were very responsive and helpful. We only received one key card initially, which made splitting up a bit inconvenient, but after mentioning it, they quickly provided two extra ones—really thoughtful! The nearby 7-Eleven is super convenient; just exit subway line 7, walk straight across the street, and you're there. It's a short walk if you're not carrying heavy luggage. Waste sorting isn't strictly enforced, but there’s a large trash bin right at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor, so you can easily bring your trash down without hassle. Overall, this place offers great value, excellent location, and a comfortable stay—definitely a top pick for travelers visiting Seoul.
Top Hotel & Residence
Staying at this hotel was a highlight of my trip to Seoul. Located just steps away from Ikseondong, the convenience of being surrounded by trendy cafes, local eateries, and vibrant street life made every moment enjoyable. The room is compact, but honestly, that’s a small price to pay for such an unbeatable location. The staff were friendly and attentive, the space felt clean and well-maintained, and the overall experience was exceptional. I’d absolutely stay here again—perfect for travelers who value location, charm, and a cozy urban vibe.
CS Avenue Tourist Hotel
The room was incredibly quiet and cozy, making it a perfect retreat after a long day. Large windows let in plenty of natural light, filling the space with warmth and a serene atmosphere. Everything was spotlessly clean—right from the first step inside, the impression was excellent. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, soft yet supportive, ensuring a deep and restful night’s sleep. What truly stood out was the staff—always smiling, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Whether I needed extra towels or local recommendations, they responded promptly and with care. Their hospitality made me feel valued throughout my stay. Overall, this was an outstanding experience. If you're looking for a peaceful, well-maintained hotel with exceptional service in Seoul, I highly recommend giving this place a try—it’s definitely on my list for future visits.
Ssh Ikseon Peter Cat Hostel
This place is definitely a hostel, not a hotel—despite being listed as a hotel on the platform. The building signage and Korean apps clearly mark it as a hostel, so it’s misleading to present it as a hotel. That said, if you go in with the right expectations, it’s actually a solid hostel. The location is unbeatable: literally seconds from a vibrant food alley, just a few minutes from great shopping, within 10 minutes of palaces and temples, and a 15–20-minute walk to Gwangjang Market and the Han River trail. We stayed in the basement room, which was the only one large enough for our family of four with two kids. While it was modernized and had a private bathroom, it had a strong musty sewage smell that lingered despite airing out and running a dehumidifier nonstop. They’d placed several oil-based air fresheners in the hallway and room—something I couldn’t tolerate due to allergies, so I removed them, but that only made the unpleasant odor worse. The dehumidifier helped circulate air, but since it required regular drainage, we weren’t sure how effective it really was. All control buttons were in Korean, and even with translation apps, the functions didn’t make much sense. The AC worked well, and the beds were comfortable. Storage consisted of pull-out drawers under the bed—cleaning them revealed thick layers of dust. There was a couch and TV, which added comfort. The bathroom is a wet-style design with floor heating, so everything dried instantly—even though the heat was extreme. When we complained about dampness, they turned on the floor heating while we were out, likely to dry things up—but with temperatures exceeding 40°C, it wasn’t safe or practical to stay inside. The window was frosted glass facing a narrow alley, so privacy was an issue. Trash was collected at the bottom of the stairs near the landing, which wasn’t ideal. On the plus side, free laundry was available nearby—perfect for monitoring progress—and the shared kitchen across the hall was handy for morning tea. Staff were incredibly helpful, and communication through the booking app was smooth. In short, if you’re clear this is a hostel (not a hotel), and you don’t mind the basement, minor quirks, and scent sensitivity, it’s a good choice. But if you’re expecting a hotel experience—especially in the basement—this isn’t recommended. As a hotel? 2/5. As a hostel? 4/5.
Ssh Icon Hostel
I've stayed at this hotel for the second time, and it continues to exceed my expectations. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from two subway stations, making it easy to explore Seoul without hassle. The room was clean, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. What really stands out is the ground-floor kitchen area: spacious, fully equipped, and always available for cooking your own meals or working remotely. It's a great space to relax, grab a bite, or even get some work done. The vibe is friendly and welcoming, and the value for money is outstanding. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for comfort, convenience, and a home-like feel in the heart of Seoul.
Inwoo Guesthouse
Staying at Inwoo Guesthouse in Jongno was an absolute delight! The owner couldn’t have been more welcoming—gave us a warm greeting upon arrival and took the time to personally walk us through the house, sharing interesting details about its traditional Korean architecture and thoughtful design touches. The atmosphere is authentic yet cozy, blending old-world charm with modern comfort. Located just steps away from subway lines, getting around Seoul was super convenient. This place offers incredible value for money, making it a standout choice among all my recent stays. If you're looking to experience real Seoul culture in a peaceful, well-kept setting, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!

I ended up booking this hotel by chance, mainly because of its great location. Turns out it was an excellent choice! Situated right in the heart of Insadong, just a short walk from Seoul's top attractions. The hotel is only 200 meters from the airport shuttle stop and literally steps away from the subway station—super convenient for getting around. The room was spotless and quiet, making it a peaceful retreat after a long day. The staff were incredibly welcoming and spoke fluent English with no trouble at all.
