318 Stay features rooms with free Wifi in the center of Seoul. The guest house, set in a building dating back to 2023, is 1.3 miles from Dongwha Duty Free Shop and 1.4 miles from Jogyesa Temple.

Great location if you’re going to be out and about. The subway is minutes away, and there are restaurants and 7-Elevens close by. It was clean and the basic breakfast was helpful to get a little fuel to start the day. My only complaint is that you have to climb to the top bunk to watch tv, and when I did the whole thing tipped over on me and I hate to think what would happened if I hadn’t jumped off and stopped it from falling on me.

Hongdae Style Guest house is conveniently located just 853 feet from Hongik University Subway Station (Line 2, Airport Railroad and Gyeongui-Jungang Line).

Hongdae Guesthouse was a wonderful introduction to SK for myself and my partner. Very friendly hosts, wonderful breakfasts in the morning! The communal spaces were clean with all the utilities you might need when visiting a different country (phone chargers, tea, coffee). The building itself felt very secure and private.

The Blossom Yeonnam Guest house is located under 10 minutes’ walk from Exit 3 of Hongik University Subway Station (Line 2, Airport Railroad and Gyeongui Line).

It's the third time I stay here. I kinda like it. That's why I always book this guesthouse everytime I stay at Hongdae area.

ICOS Guesthouse 1 - Female Only enjoys a location in Seoul, 2.3 miles from Seoul Station and 2.8 miles from Namdaemun Market.

Super cozy traditional house type guesthouse. Just a 2 minute walk from Sinchon subway station and a great central location where you can find available anything you need. The room was very clean and warm inside, despite the coldest season. The shared bathroom outside in the yard was also clean and well maintained. There are only a small number of rooms so it was a quiet and felt really safe and private. It was a great experience overall and I recommend it to anyone looking for a unique place to stay. E.T. Imo is a lovely host and it was a pleasure meeting her.

K wave Guesthouse Only Female in Hongdae 1 is a recently renovated guest house in Seoul near Hongik University.

The hostel was clean, easy to find and had nice sized capsule beds. Washing machines that you can use to wash your clothes are very convenient, filtered water to fill up your bottle anytime. The highlight was the wonderful staff, especially one of the guys at the reception was so kind and welcoming, it made my stay so much more enjoyable. Thank you 😊

Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.

    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.
