Places to Stay for Your Perfect Trip in Seoul
HOTELS
HOSTELS
AIRBNBs
These are some of the AirBNBs that I have personally stayed in, and really enjoyed my stay at.
This AirBNB I stayed at was situated near Seoul Station. I stayed there for about 2 weeks, and I'd really recommend it especially if you intend on taking day trips out of Seoul. It's about a 5-10 minutes walk from Seoul Station Exit 15. This space was a lot spacious than I had expected it to be, and it contained all the necessary amenities too.
π§Ί If you're staying there long enough, that you'd need to wash your clothes, they do have a washing machine and detergent available for you to wash them as well!Β
πΎ They have board games, and a projector for you and your friends for you guys have have a lazy night in on days you want to take it slow. There's also a 7-11 convenience store outside the accommodation, making it super easy to get your late night convenience store supper!! π
π§π»ββοΈThe host is also super responsive, and provides you with the necessary information you require for a super pleasant stay. Ask the host anything from her nearby food delicacies recommendation, to spots around Seoul, she will provide you with a comprehensive list and reasons why she enjoys them too π±π₯€
π°The AirBNB was about S$87/night when I stayed there, and it is on the pricier side. But considering it's location, it's space and the host's hospitality, it's definitely worth it!

I stayed at this AirBNB with my sister for about a week when we were there! If like us, you love the vibes of Hongdae and its surroundings, I'd highly recommend this place too. It's about a 5 minutes walk from Hongik Station exit 6. It contains all your necessary ammenities, including towels and soap!
πΏ There's also a washing machine, detergent and a dryer if you happen to stain your clothes while on the trip.Β
π΄ If you're one to book day tours from Klook, many of the tour's pick-up locations include Hongdae! This AirBNB location will give you the extra 5 minute sleep time you need, especially since most of pick up times are SUPER earlyΒ
π§π»ββοΈThe host is also super responsive and on the first day you arrive, she will meet you at the accommodations to explain certain things to you! She does not speak fluent English, but she definitely tries her best to break the communication barrier!
π° The AirBNB was about S$110/night for 2 people when I stayed there, which I would say is relatively more affordable!
This AirBNB allowed me and my sister to watch busking at Hongdae street until really late, and still wake up in time to catch our tour bus at 7am the next morning π So needless to say, we highly recommend it!!

βI stayed at this AirBNB with my friends for about 5 nights when we were there and it's about a 10 minutes walk from Hongik Station exit 3. It contains all your necessary amenities, including towels and soap! They have multiple rooms that they are renting on airbnb, so you can check out the rest of their listings, but this was the particular room that I had stayed in with my friends!
π° The AirBNB was about S$30/night for 4 people when we stayed there, which I would say is very affordable, especially for the location!
π They have a common area at the first level, where there are cooking materials (e.g. pots, pans, salt, oil etc.) and fridge as well. Do note that this airbnb does not have a lift, and you room would be on the 2nd or 3rd level!
π§³You would be able to store your luggage under the stairs if you were to arrive early/leave later than the check-in/check-out time. However, do note that as it is a common area, they would not be locked up!

βI stayed at this AirBNB with my friends for about 2 nights when we were there and it's about a 3 minutes walk from Hansung University Station exit 1. It contains all your necessary amenities, including towels and soap! They have 3 rooms, and it was a modern Hanok that I think is fun to stay with your friends for the experience!Β
π° The AirBNB was about S$50/night for 6 people when we stayed there, which I would say is very affordable, for a modern Hanok!
π There's a guestbook at the airbnb and my friends and I had a fun time writing on it!Β
πΊ The host had provided us with multiple bottles of water, and also provided 2 free bottles of Makgeolli (Rice Wine), which my friends and I enjoyed thoroughly! They have a "tea room', where we could all sit together and play games/watch tv, and we really enjoyed ourselves!
This AirBNB fulfilled my wish of staying in a Hanok, while providing hints of Modern style in the stay. 2 of the rooms had floor mattresses - just like the olden days, while 1 room had a queen sized bed! It is definitely a worthy stay and while it may not be located in the heart of the tourist locations, it provides you the same convenience with a line 4 station (Connected to Myeongdong and Seoul station) just a very short walk away!Β
