Hans House, hotel in Seoul

In the Jongno-Gu district of Seoul, close to Jogyesa Temple, Hans House features a garden and a washing machine. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay.

We stayed at Hans House for the 1st time when we visited Seoul in Dec'22. In our recent trip to Seoul in Jun'24, we stayed at Hans House again. No regrets. Location is great and the host is just as friendly and hospitable. Cosy and comfortable, a great place to wind down after a day of touring. Will definitely stay here again for our next visit!

Bias K-girl Guesthouse - Women only, hotel in Seoul

Bias K-girl Guesthouse - Women only is a recently renovated guest house in the centre of Seoul, less than 1 km from Hongik University Station and a 13-minute walk from Hongik University.

I booked the same day as i had a nightmare with my prebooked accommodation elsewhere. Im so grateful there was availability! The owner was very nice and welcoming, made me feel right at home as a solo female traveller. The room was spacious, the bed was like heaven, and the AC was fantastic. The location was great, lots of convenience stores nearby, subway was close, even 24h cafes etc. There were lots of cute freebies like face masks. There were even free K-pop albums out for guests to take!

    The area is amazing, nice cafes and restaurants nearby, very quiet but safe. Also the guesthouse is located near the bus station and subway station - very convenient. You can also order laundry for a reasonable price. Wi-fi is also good. Hosts are also very helpful. The area is also located pretty close to some tourist sights where you can walk on foot

    This accommodation has a great location - it's both quiet and central. It's not too far from the subway station, and there are plenty of options for eating out and grabbing coffee nearby. The rooms are clean, well-equipped, and really comfortable. The hosts are super friendly, and the variety of Korean-style breakfast is absolutely delicious!

    Great Guesthouse with great host! Extremely friendly and helpful. You get detailed instructions how to find the guest house and (if you arrive after 5 pm) how to do the self check-in. Everything went super smoothly. Can definitely recommend staying there!

    enjoyed my stay at YAB guesthouse! chris and simon are great hosts - they were quick to respond to messages and help with requests. the guesthouse itself is in a great location in hongdae - near the main strip (but never got too loud at night!) and a 3 min walk from the subway. rooms are slightly smaller than expected but the beds are comfy and you still have enough space to move around. there’s a common area too which was nice! the guesthouse felt busy but there were never major queues to use the bathroom/kitchen area.
