My perfect place... The plan was to stay one week and at the end were three, I can call it my home. So well location, a few minutes away from subway stations and touristic places as palaces, restaurants, beautiful coffee shops, clothes stores and more. Staff is enormously friendly, kind and willing to help you any time. Every time I went back from my day adventure in Seoul I enjoyed been received with an smile and a "How are you? How was your day?" Thank you Seowon! Thank you Jin! My room... loved it, enough space, so comfortable bed (very important to me), the necessary desk and bench to sit 👍🏻 (I had to work several days too), very good size of the bathroom, well illumination with a nice digital control of the lights and useful minibar, oh!!! And the floor keept me well cousy warm during this winter. Dinning room... clean and very useful, whith everything that is need to prepare and heat simple meals, it have too as amenities, coffe, te and cookies, were a good small dessert!. The interior design of the place is sober, minimal and at the same time modern, something I liked and enjoyed even with the little frame with a green leaf in my room, a good taste detail!. I could continue with more but it's already to long. Thanks for everything!!! I'll go back home soon.

It is located 3.7 km from Ewha Womans University and provides full-day security. When staying at the guest house, guests can use private entrance.

The room was extremely clean, and the white bedding was so neat and comfortable. I arrived late at night, but the check-in process was very smooth. They emailed me a self-check-in guide, it was very convenient. The owner even waited for me until after midnight, and was very friendly. There were numerous cafes, including Italian restaurants, and a convenience store right across the street from the hotel. I was so happy during my stay in this lovely guesthouse.

All units in the guest house are fitted with a coffee machine. For added convenience, the property can provide towels and linens for a supplement.

An indoor play area is also available for guests at the guest house.

Location was great - 5 minutes walk to Hongik university station exit 2. Close to restaurants and shopping areas, while at the same time located in a quiet alley which offers silence from the crowd. High level of cleanliness - rooms, bathrooms and toilets are spotlessly clean. Staff are friendly and speak good English. Comfort - Beds are comfortable and warm, and they have sufficient outlets per bed for charging. The best thing of this guesthouse is that they offer free laundry and drying, which I almost have never seen in other hostels I stayed at. I can travel lighter to Korea next time.

    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.

    The guesthouse was very cozy. It wasn’t far from Seoul station either and easy to reach by bus, yet it was in a relatively calm and quiet environment and not noisy at all. The hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly as well. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back again.

    The hosts were really nice and friendly. The guesthouse was clean. There was a room to eat and a little cozy terrace for outdoor dinner. The room was clean and tidy there were free towels and a hairdryer in the room. There was also a phone charger to your disposition in the room in case you forgot yours. There was quiet jazz songs playing in the corridor giving a nice atmosphere to our floor. We feel that our hosts really want to make us feel at home. I really liked my stay in hongdae style guesthouse.

    The beds were so comfortable and the rooms were clean, looked great and felt very cosy. This is the best guesthouse/hostel that I’ve been to in Seoul and it is in a great location just off a lovely themed street in Myeongdong with lots of restaurants to choose from. Self check-in was easy and we could leave our luggage there after check-out. A simple breakfast was included in the price. Overall this place is great value for money

    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.
