First of all, the accessibility is excellent. It’s conveniently located near major attractions, making it easy to get around. Public transportation is also easily accessible, so traveling was hassle-free. The cleanliness of the guesthouse was also impressive. Both the common areas and the rooms were well-maintained, and the hygiene standards were excellent, providing a comfortable and pleasant stay. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly friendly. From the moment I arrived, they gave me a warm welcome and provided helpful travel information. Their kindness and hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the opportunity to engage in free-talking with travelers from different countries. The lounge area was a great place to meet new people, share travel experiences, and create meaningful connections. If you’re looking for a cozy place with a friendly atmosphere where you can meet fellow travelers, I highly recommend staying here. I would love to visit again! ##### Jeonghun Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Sunbee Insadong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Sunbee-Hotel.h5302216.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Seoul.h59029424.Hotel-Information) > > [Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Fraser-Place-Namdaemun.h7090628.Hotel-Information) > > [AMID HOTEL SEOUL](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Center-Mark-Hotel.h5490599.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Josun.h10554498.Hotel-Information) > > [NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONDONG 2](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Nine-Tree-Premier-Hotel-Myeongdong-2.h17447885.Hotel-Information) > > [L7 MYEONGDONG by LOTTE HOTELS](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-L7-Myeongdong-By-LOTTE.h12511672.Hotel-Information) > > [Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Solaria-Nishitetsu-Hotel-Seoul-Myeongdong.h9761216.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Ambassador-Seoul-Myeongdong.h9415452.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Méridien Seoul, Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Seoul.h89303596.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Mercure-Ambassador-Seoul-Hongdae.h50919016.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloft Seoul Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Aloft-Seoul-Myeongdong.h16606220.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Myeongdong Euljiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Travelodge-Myeongdong-Euljiro.h10957081.Hotel-Information) > > [RYSE, Autograph Collection Seoul by Marriott](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-RYSE.h2455064.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Novotel-Ambassador-Seoul-Dongdaemun-Hotels-Residences.h23489421.Hotel-Information) > > [Amanti Hotel Seoul Hongdae](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Amanti-Hotel-Seoul.h15285451.Hotel-Information) > > [G2 Hotel Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-G2-Hotel-Myeongdong.h17918478.Hotel-Information) > > [Orakai Insadong Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Orakai-Insadong-Suites.h9780752.Hotel-Information) > > [Lotte Hotel Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Lotte-Hotel-Seoul.h445260.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Ibis-Ambassador-Seoul-Myeongdong.h1501011.Hotel-Information) > > [Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Shilla-Stay-Seodaemun-Seoul-Station.h9616679.Hotel-Information) > > [NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONDONG 1](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Nine-Tree-Hotel-Myeongdong.h6084370.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cappuccino](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Hotel-Cappuccino.h12385513.Hotel-Information) > > [Josun Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Gangnam](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Josun-Palace.h4871.Hotel-Information) > > [Signiel Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Signiel-Seoul.h18060379.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Seoul.h21727.Hotel-Information) > > [ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-ENA-Suite-Hotel-Namdaemun.h21518483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Josun Seoul](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-The-Westin-Josun-Seoul.h24908.Hotel-Information) > > [Glad Mapo](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-GLAD-MAPO.h23043990.Hotel-Information) > > [UH Suite The Jongno](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-UHSuite-Apartment-Myeongdong.h43358413.Hotel-Information)
