Offering city views, Foreign Female Only Gangnam Stay is an accommodation set in Seoul, 3.5 km from COEX Convention Centre and 4.2 km from Bongeunsa Temple. The air-conditioned accommodation is 1.4 km from Gangnam Station. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests.

The property was cleaned everyday and it was big enough that even with a lot of guests there was still enough space for everyone to feel comfortable. The host and her mom were super nice and helpful to me and they always cooked delicious food, the host was also really organized and she gave a full list of places to visit, where to order food, how to reach the main attractions in Seoul and so on, really helpful! The hostel always had fresh towels ready in the bathroom and all the necessities to shower In the kitchen there was always free food to eat such as bread, jam, ramen and so on A good thing in my opinion is that you can come and go from the property as you please, so you don’t have to worry about being too early or too late, the important thing is being quiet if people are sleeping! All in all my stay was super nice and it felt like I was visiting family more than abroad in a hostel, I loved the vibes in the house!

Offering a garden and city view, HAH Guesthouse is set in Seoul, 400 metres from Dongdaemun Market and less than 1 km from Gwangjang Market. The property was built in 1978, and features air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and private check-in and check-out for guests.

It’s very close to Dongdaemun train station exit 10, just about 3-5min walk. To get there, there is a small alley so you have to look closely but it’s very easy to find. If you take the airport limousine, there is a stop across the street (JW Marriott) exit 9 and it’s pretty close to the guesthouse as well. If you have luggages with you and you took the train, please get out at exit 9 since there is elevator there and just cross the street to get to the guesthouse (you can use Naver Map app as it’s pretty precise). Soundproof room (I didn’t hear). clean bathroom with body wash, shampoo, conditioner. Always available towels, toilet papers in each floor and there’s free coffee (great especially for a really cold day). Thankfully there is also an extension cord that has universal outlet and USB as I forgot my adaptor, which was really helpful since I did not have to buy one in my entire stay. Staff are very nice, helpful and accommodating. have helped me with my luggage. Also allowed me to keep them there even when I checked out as my bus ride was still at around 6pm. The cats are beautiful too. 💙

Opposite Seoul Main Rail station - but really quiet! My only thing was I got stuck in the underground parking as did not have correct token. Pressed help - and the attendant ran to help and took my money and did it manually. Despite our lack of mutual language - job was done pleasantly and politely. Loved the fact that they allowed us to leave luggage there before book in time too.

    Great location in the centre of Seoul, and good transportation to the airport via the KAL limousine bus. Pretty good value for the city and I liked the room which felt warm and cosy. The room wasn't big although you might expect that for a city hotel, but it was very comfortable with a good bed and good value for money.

    I stayed in a superior single room and it was not only very aesthetically pleasing but also unexpectedly spacious! The view was stunning, too. The location's perfect as it's close enough to Hongdae and the HongikUniv. station (line2 basically brings you anywhere), but far enough from the chaos that you can enjoy a good night sleep. Seogyo has plenty of smaller restaurants and cafès if you enjoy that sort of thing.

    The facilities are basic, but totally clean. The location is also quite good. 1) Right next to a metro station. 2) Plenty of good dining, including 24-hour diners, nearby. 3) Good coffee shops, and regular shopping nearby. If you check in after hours, no worries. The front door is never locked, just push the button to open. Also, your room will be left unlocked for you, with key waiting inside. Yes, Korea really is that safe! Unlike some hotels, they don't clean your room unless you ask, which I actually prefer.

    The location of the property was PERFECT. A very short walk to one of the best areas in Seoul, great shopping (vintage especially), restaurants and street performances. The instructions on how to reach the property were very in depth and it made the journey super easy. The apartment overall was very clean and it even had a kitchen for cooking which we loved. The beds were comfy and the heating was great for keeping warm in the extremely cold weather. Absolutely loved it and would stay again.

    we booked it at last minute for just one night as we could find any other hotel near by. while night we couldn’t sleep was suffocating. room was small and moldy. there is teny tiny window which was useless as you hardly can open it as it’s been block by fake plant and wall. there no fresh air circulation. location was good but if you stay for longer I would suggest to book different even if you have to walk a little but you need sound sleep and healthy air to enjoy your vacation. staff were good.

    This hotel is located in a central part of Seoul with access to multiple subway stations at walking distance; this makes getting around very easy. The location is fantastic. The room and bathroom were clean and all necessary amenities were provided. The digital control system was very easy to use, and the bed was comfortable. The room was quiet so our sleep was restful during the two nights we spent.

    The room has really comfy beds and a nice view of the city and mountain range on a clear day. It was super close to Namsan tower, so we could easily check out a lot of places from this central location. The Namdaemun market is right across from the hotel, so it is really convenient to stay here. Also, the subway station and elevator is right outside the hotel, making it easy to get your bags there. Cleanliness was great, and the bathroom is nice. The curtains black out the room nicely so oversleeping is a possibility!

Downstairs was a restaurant and coffee shop. We had breakfast included in the room.
