It takes more than an hour to get to all the main points. Near the guesthouse are many establishments and cafes, as well as a GS25 store. Thank you, I really liked everything.

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.

Couldn't have been more delighted with my two nights stay. Clean, spacious (as I was staying single in a four-person apartment), easy DIY self-check-in. Apartment with a small kitchen (two induction spots), large fridge, all very light and spotlessly clean. All signs and instructions (in the room and on the roof) were just perfect: minimal, friendly, clear and to the point, where you need them. Self-serve continental breakfast on the roof terrace. (With a view!) Elevator! Large TV! Fast WiFi! The owner (I was talking to the second morning) was super-friendly and nice. Perfect location, close to a lot of food, two metro stops from Seoul Station.

The hostel was beautiful with lots of nice facilities and i wish that i have found this hostel sooner. I should have stayed longer than just 2 days. The hospitality was superb and it was just a 4 minutes walking distance to the subway and ikesondong.

Hi There Guesthouse is by far the best guesthouse I’ve stayed at. The facilities are 10/10, so clean and new! I really enjoyed my stay and met the most wonderful people while staying there. The owner, Daniel, is so nice and helpful and the weekly get togethers every Tuesday is such a good initiative. I became friends with staff and guests alike while staying here and will definitely choose this accommodation next time I’m in Seoul!

    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!

    The guest house is located within five minutes from main shopping streets in Myeongdong. Around there is a plenty of cafes and shops. However, at night it is very quiet. The room was small, but convenient and clean. The host replied promptly to all the questions.

    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.
