Seoulwise Guesthouse Reviews

Loved staying here. The owner even stayed up for me (got in town late) and gave me advice on when to leave the hostel the next morning so I could make my flight. Breakfast (cereal, toast, coffee, juice) included and very tasty. Bathrooms in the rooms. I enjoyed my short stay here and would definitely stay here again.

From the very first confirmation e-mail I received from Seoulwise, the experience was great. The map to the hostel was very easy to follow. The hostel itself is very close to Hongdae, but still far enough off the path that it's not you can escape it if you want. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and the facilities were very clean. Having an ensuite room gave it the comfort of a hotel on a hostel budget. After three trips, it's the best hostel I've stayed in in Seoul so far!

An excellent option to stay in Seoul. The room was very big, clean, and good value for money. The hostel location is perfect, easy to access with public transport (direct cheap train connection from the airports), and close to cheap places to eat, but still very quiet. The hostel owner had thought about everything to make our stay pleasant, from maps of the city to a handy T-money card for public transport. My only minor complaint is that the bed was a little hard. Warmly recommended.

really great guesthouse! the owner is so helpful and the place is very clean and tidy. was really a great stay

Facilities that clean and convenient are all good . but I like staff service more than live comfortable. I feel owner is a cool man, but owner is very nice and friendly, He has patience to teach us about how to play and walk in seoul travel tips and advice. So We had a good time in seoul,I am so appreciate to owner and seoulwise. Thanks

seoul is really big without a natural centre, but this place is is a good lively area with all amenities. the hostel is clean and a big plus was the nice cornflakes and organe juice unlmited breakfast! the owner is really helpful too in advising where and what to dobut you will need to have some ideas yourself first. no complaints.

We enjoyed our stay at the hostel. For first time visitors to Korea, we did not have a hard time because Mr. Young was very accommodating. He also allowed us to stay at hostel and use its facilities even after we have checked out. He coordinated for our transportation to the airport. It sure was wise to stay at Seoulwise!

We stayed at the guesthouse for 2 days. Having lived in Korea for 5 months a year earlier, we already knew that the Hongdae area is a cool and vibrant area, and the hostel was located nicely just a few blocks a away from the center of Hongdae, but in a more quiet neighborhood. The hostel and room was clean and offered good facilities and services, but lacked character and charisma. As a hostel it delivers what can be expected and a little more, but its not the most exciting place to stay.

Overall, stay was quite pleasant. Hostel was tidy. Common room was spacious and well organized, comfortable to hang out in. Location was easy to reach from subway and well described in the order confirmation e-mail. The bathroom was a little smaller than normal, and breakfast was more spartan than it could have been, but these are minor quibbles (other hostels don\'t provide breakfast in first place).

Got lost finding this place, should've paid more attention. This area is great because it is near the Hongdae area where all the young people hangs out at. Young, the host, is pretty cool and social. He helps you with anything you may need. I should've came here at a better season (not Feb). Definitely enjoyed my stay, wish I didn't have to share the room but that's the price you have to pay. Would definitely come back here again.

It's always a pleasure every time I stay at Seoulwise. Great security, extremely clean, good location and wonderful staff. I highly recommend staying here when you come to Seoul.

Came in winter so not too many people to meet but could not have asked for a better location - easy to get to the airport and the subway, quiet enough to sleep but close to the happening Hongdae area. Follow the map Young emails you! Really clean and warm, breakfast included which was nice for the price. Young was super accommodating when I had to keep changing my plans to stay and drove me to the station to save me lugging my suitcaswe through the snow. Young is a fantastic host! I'd go back!

the staff is very helpful and kind and the atmosphere is good!

Good place, very clean, nice staff, easy to find, staff gave good information on what to do the first days and was very nice and helpful. Breakfast is continental (bread, marmalade, cornflakes, orange juice and coffee). Not very special but ok as a first snack. Internet is for free what seems standard in Seoul anyway.

Great location !

Very nice hostel with clean environment. Suited in a quite area near to many good restaurants. Friendly and helpful staffs. Have a very enjoyable stay in this hostel!! Will choose this one again if I go to Seoul!

It has a great location coming from the airport and going to train station. Very convenient. They are very helpful to answer any question and suggest everything you want to do. Thanks a lot.

Mr Young is a very friendly host with loads of information about travelling in Seoul. Very hospitable man!

Loved the hostel. Great location. Very clean hostel and well organized. The wifi was wonderful. The free breakfast was great. I really hope to stay there again someday!

So glad we chose to stay here. Our room was clean, comfortable, and great value for money since we had our own en-suite. Met some great people staying in a dorm. The location is perfect, a 5 minute walk from the centre of Hongdae and more importantly, the subway. Nightlife was brilliant,, too. I had such a great time, would definitely recommend this hostel to anybody travelling to Seoul!
