This is easily one of the best budget accommodation i've ever stayed in in Korea. It's only a 5 minute walk from the Sinchon station. The place was really nice and clean and had everything I needed. An ensuite bathroom, hairdryer, mini fridge. It was really snowy and cold when I arrived, so I was pleasantly surprised to find an electric heated mattress pad which made sleep so comfy. There was also a washer and dryer in the common area that was free for use. The room I had was also quite spacious. I could place am both my luggage and shopping on the floor and still had a lot of space to move around.

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.

Very cosy vibes, like being in a shared house. The hostess is amazing, very kind and helpful. Clean facilities, ability to make your breakfast and use the fridge. Close to the metro station. Ideal for some laptop work, chill and socialisation without being noisy. Wish I could stay a bit longer.

    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.
