Located in Seoul and with Hongik University reachable within 700 metres, Bunk Guesthouse Hongdae provides a tour desk, allergy-free rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a garden.

I chose this place because there were so many nice reviews and now I'll add one! I really loved my stay in Bunk Guesthouse. I will always remember it! I stayed in this guesthouse for 7nights and travelled alone but I met so many awesome people here so I wasn't alone at all. All staff are extremely kind and especially Brian. I had an accident and needed to go to hospital asap.. and Brian took me there. Brian also tries to remember guests by their names. He knows area well. He is awesome and kind person and brings extremely good vibes to this hostel. I liked how the toilets and showers werent in the same room. So no need to queue for toilets/shower because someone is taking forever. The towels might be small for western "taste". The breakfast area brings people together. You can prepare your own breakfast there. It is also fun hangout spot before going out with people you meet :) There is also rooftop area and it is pretty cool to see at evening time. This guesthouse really goes above and also organizes trips if there are enough interested guests. Please notice that they only take cash payment for the trips. This guesthouse is in Hongdae area so don't be surprised that in this area clubs and places are more for "young" people. There is also possibility to do your laundry, I didn't need to use that one but just saying. It is super near to metro station and nice stores. The location is super. This hostel is perfect for solotravellers who want to be social and meet new friends! I truly recommend. I miss this place already.

Attractively located in Seoul, Soo Guest House features an American breakfast and free WiFi. The air-conditioned accommodation is 300 metres from Myeongdong Station. Guests can access the guest house via private entrance.

Momo and Koko are really sweet and welcoming hosts. They made my stay comfortable and were available for help at all times, even at 11:30 pm when I forgot the passcode of my room. Because of the closeness and harmonious atmosphere in the guest house, I would recommend it to all budget travellers!

This recently renovated guest house is located 3.5 km from Ewha Womans University and 5.9 km from Seoul Station.

I liked how friendly and helpful the host, Mr. KiHo Lee and his mom (They operate the guesthouse) were. From the second my family and I arrived, Mr. Lee assisted us with all of our bags and helped us arrange transportation for the following day. Mr. Lee’s mom made a wonderful breakfast the following morning, which offered quite a bit of variety. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. The location is close to Hongik University and the Hongik University Metro stop. The area is vibrant with many restaurants, bars, and shopping to offer. My family and I look forward to the next time we can stay at the Good Guesthouse.

Namdaemun Market is 1.1 km from the guest house, while Dongwha Duty Free Shop is 2.1 km from the property. The nearest airport is Gimpo International, 20 km from 318 Stay, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

The location not far from Myeongdong station. We reached early in the morning but they let us put our luggage first. So that easier for us to get around. Everything was there even though it's just a small room but equipped with all we needed including kitchenette with fridge, microwave, kettle, washer, iron, tv, wifi etc. There's also water filter and vacuum cleaner for everyone. I'm very particular about cleanliness but the place was clean and neat. I liked it. There's also simple breakfast at the roof top but I never been there. Only my son been there for eggs and milk. The other food we not sure about the halal status, so we didn't have it. Amy was very kind and great host. Since we're Muslim and need to prepare halal food, she let us cook and bring all needed despite her 'no cooking' rules. Truly appreciate her kind understanding. Will definitely come again if I visit Seoul. Amy..thanks so much.

    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!

    Great location, clean spacious rooms, simple design, quiet nice neighborhood. The manager is very very nice and polite, they kept my luggage while I was away for couple of days. I went back to same guesthouse afterwards. Definitely recommended, very helpful, very close to airport shuttle bus. Close to one of the main palaces, and Hanoek village.

    Momo is a very kind host. She was very helpful, and we managed to communicate well even with our language barrier. The guest house is incredibly central, only a 5min walk to Myeong-Dong station. The central location made it easy to get around, and even with the window open at night, it was surprisingly quiet. I would definitely stay with at Soo Guest House again.

    I normally don’t really write reviews but this was such a comfortable stay! David is an incredible host and helped us with an appointment at the doctor when my friend had issues with hearing. The guesthouse is on walking distance from a lot of places and if you dislike walking a lot, the metro is right outside the door as well. Many breakfast options, many dinner options and a good quality stay, and not to mention quite cheap for all the facilities and surroundings!

    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.
