The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the subway, making it easy to explore Seoul’s top attractions. The rooftop pool is a real highlight—perfect for relaxing with panoramic views of Gyeongbokgung Palace.

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.
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.

达达酒店仁寺洞
Staying at Dada Hotel Ihwa-dong was a great experience, especially thanks to its unbeatable location. Just a 6-minute walk from Exit 5 of Jongno 3-ga Subway Station, it’s only one stop away from major attractions like Myeongdong, Gwanghwamun, and Gyeongbokgung Palace—perfect for exploring the heart of Seoul. The self-check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free. The room itself is compact but spotlessly clean, and considering the price point, it’s a fair trade-off. One minor downside is the sound insulation—occasionally you can hear luggage wheels rolling in the hallway, but it’s not disruptive. Conveniently, there are two convenience stores (GS25 and 7-Eleven) right nearby, making late-night snacks or essentials easy to grab. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value and a comfortable stay in a prime area.
Hans House
Staying at Hans House was an absolute delight! The room was immaculately clean, with a fresh and cozy vibe from the moment I walked in. The bed was comfortable, perfect for a good night's sleep after exploring the city. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming—offering helpful tips about nearby food spots and transit options without being pushy. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a 3-minute walk to a lively street food alley packed with local favorites like grilled meats and crispy fried chicken. Only 5 minutes to the subway entrance, making it super easy to reach major attractions like Gwanghwamun Square within 10 minutes. For the price, this place offers incredible value and convenience. I’d definitely book again if I return to Seoul—highly recommend for travelers who want comfort, cleanliness, and a great central spot.
Haemil Hanok Guesthouse
Staying at Haemil Hanok Guesthouse was a mixed experience. On the plus side, it’s perfect if you’re looking for an authentic local homestay vibe. The location is excellent—just a short walk from Changdeokgung Palace and nearby Hanbok rental shops, with several traditional hanok villages within easy reach. The food offered on-site is surprisingly good and much more affordable than expected. Our host, an elderly lady, prepared a simple but comforting Korean breakfast both mornings—warm and homey, which added a nice touch. The ensuite bathroom was a practical bonus. However, there were some notable drawbacks. No one was around to greet us upon arrival—we had to rely on our driver to contact the host, who eventually showed up after some delay. The neighborhood is very local, so English signage is minimal, and even locals can struggle to find the place. Taxis are often unwilling to enter the narrow alleyways, so we ended up dropping off at the main road and walking in while dragging our luggage. This made getting to the guesthouse quite inconvenient. Also, room insulation isn’t great—conversation from the adjacent room came through clearly. While I’ve stayed in other hanoks before and appreciated their charm, this one doesn’t quite offer the best value compared to alternatives. If you’re seeking a quiet, immersive cultural stay and don’t mind navigating a bit of a maze, it could work. But if you prioritize ease of access, clear communication, and better service, there are definitely better options out there.
Insadong Hostel
This hostel was an absolute gem during my week-long stay in Seoul. Located right in the heart of Insadong, it’s incredibly walkable to all major tourist attractions—perfect for exploring on foot. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering a delicious complimentary breakfast every morning with eggs, fresh bread, fruit, and juice. While the room is on the smaller side and has a slightly dated feel, it’s completely in line with what you’d expect for the price. I felt safe throughout my stay, and honestly, I’d book again without hesitation.
Jongno (Daehakro) Hyehwa Inn
The inn was exceptionally clean and comfortable—truly a great stay! The staff were very helpful and friendly during check-in, making the whole process smooth and welcoming. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Jongno, just steps away from subway stations and major attractions. It’s so convenient for exploring Seoul. I’d absolutely come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting. A real gem with excellent value!
Bulgwang Xian
Staying at Bulgwang Xian in Seoul was one of the most pleasant experiences I’ve had during my trip. The location is excellent—super convenient for getting around, with easy access to subway lines and major attractions nearby. The hotel itself is quiet and peaceful, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and equipped with all the essentials, including complimentary toiletries—no need to worry about forgetting anything. Check-in and check-out were quick and hassle-free, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. It’s rare to find such a great balance between comfort, cleanliness, and value. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Seoul—I’ll definitely be coming back.
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.
Mini Hotel Insa
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. For my next visit to Seoul, I’ll definitely choose this hotel again!
Bukchonae
Staying at Bukchonae was a delightful experience overall. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of Seoul’s traditional neighborhood, making it super convenient for exploring nearby cultural spots. The room is compact but well-organized and spotlessly clean, which really stands out. The bathroom has a slightly cramped shower area, so it’s not ideal for long stays or if you’re sensitive to tight spaces. However, the cleanliness and maintenance are excellent—everything feels fresh and well cared for. The owners are genuinely warm and welcoming, offering helpful tips on local eats and hidden gems around the area. It’s perfect for a short getaway or a night or two while soaking in the charm of old Seoul. While I wouldn’t recommend it for extended stays due to the size, for a quick visit, it’s a great value with a cozy, authentic vibe.
