Long Stay Hostel Sinchon Hongdae, hotel in Seoul

Long Stay Hostel Sinchon Hongdae is set in Seoul, in the Seodaemun-Gu district. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. At the hostel, all rooms come with a desk.

I stayed here during winter, and the experience was fantastic. The rooms were spotless, warm, and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. The hostel provides excellent amenities, including heated floors, warm heated bed mats, bath products, a microwave, a drinking water filter machine, 24-hour hot shower water supply, and laundry services. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from Sinchon metro station (with an attached elevator, which is an important plus)—offering easy access to popular attractions. The surrounding area is well-equipped with numerous convenience stores, beauty pharmacies, departmental stores, Korean street food kiosks, and a variety of dining options. The hostel owner, Richard, is exceptionally helpful and friendly. He always goes the extra mile to assist guests and communicates well in multiple languages, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience for travelers from different countries. This makes it an excellent choice, especially for those who may not be fluent in Korean. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for an affordable yet comfortable place to stay in Seoul. It offers all the necessary amenities, a fantastic location, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Able Guesthouse Hongdae, hotel in Seoul

Located at the centre of the popular Hongdae area, Able Guesthouse Hongdae is only a 5-minute stroll from Hongik University Subway Station (Line 2 and Airport Rail Line).

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it! The breakfast was decent and provided a good start to our day, with a variety of options to choose from. The location is truly excellent—just a short walk to the AREX station at Hongik University, Exit 7—making it incredibly convenient for getting around the city. One of the highlights of our stay was the common area in the kitchen, where we could gather as a family in the mornings. It was a great space to enjoy breakfast together and plan our daily adventures. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, adding to the overall comfort of our trip. The staff were exceptional—fluent in English, friendly, and always ready to assist with anything we needed throughout our 8-night, 9-day stay. Their helpfulness made our experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. Overall, we had a wonderful time, and we truly appreciated the convenience, comfort, and hospitality this hotel offered. Without a doubt, we will be returning for another stay in the future!

All hostels in Incheon
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It took a little time to enter the country, but it's cheaper than staying at an airport hotel. My first experience to find "Washlet" except for Japan surprised for me.

    I stayed in the dorm room, very comfortable and affordable. Also managed to get the double bed rather than the bunk bed which was nice. Hotel feel dorm with a tv for a very good price. Finally the hotel is literally outside the train station which is great!

    Free shuttle from airport. Very convenient. Great location, there's a mini mart inside the hotel. For the cheap price, it's really worth it!

    I liked that the property was clean and modern. It was very safe and secure with two code pads to get into your room. The room was very cheap and close to the airport. It’s wasn’t noisy and I slept very well!

    Honestly the best decision I made staying here for a long layover. My host Jin was so so helpful and lovely. He made a real effort to help me in anyway I needed. The room itself was 10/10 and super clean and comfortable. Nice safe area for a young woman to be in. Cheap taxi here and back to airport which they organised. Not a single bad word to say.

    It was more of a ‘private hostel’ concept which I wasn’t expecting on arrival but it was actually a very comfortable stay. It was clean which is the most important thing for us and the shower head (although again, not what we were expecting) had great force. Easy to stay for only 1-2 nights as it’s cheap and close to the station. Host was lovely
