Four Seasons House (Female only), hotel in Seoul

Situated in Seoul, 1.8 km from Hongik University Station and 1.8 km from Hongik University, Four Seasons House (Female only) offers free WiFi and air conditioning.

This was my first time at a hostel, and only stayed for 2 nights but I had a good stay. Great value for money. Bathrooms and rooms were clean. More of a quieter hostel but I did meet a lovely girl staying in my room. The floor is also heated which was a nice touch during winter. Location was good, but it’s in more of a residential area so it’s located in a quieter alley. Close by to the station, Hongdae, and to Mangwon Market! Also there’s a great little cookie/dessert store opposite the hostel.

Soo Guest House, hotel in Seoul

Attractively located in Seoul, Soo Guest House features an American breakfast and free WiFi. The air-conditioned accommodation is 300 metres from Myeongdong Station.

The hosts are two sisters who run the guest house. Although small, the rooms are homely and immaculate, and having access to a kitchen and dining area is amazing. We were looked after so well, they even did our washing! Breakfast was simpleand much appreciated. We loved exploring Seoul from the convenient central location. It could be tricky to find but the hosts provide excellent youtube videos explaining how to get there. Than

    Not the most sociable of hostels, but quiet, clean, comfortable and in a great location. The wifi was rather weak though, so not the best for those wanting to work.

    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.
