HHZib, homestay on a hill in the heart of Seoul - 'BEST SEOUL STAY 2024-25' by Seoul

Everything! It's my second time here and I'm so happy that I came back. It was such a comfortable stay and the owner is so kind and welcoming!

We had the appartement to ourselves as a family and it was truly amazing. Felt like home very quickly on a quiet location with great views and a park nearby. It’s a bit of a climb from the station to the appartment (10min), but we never had any issue with it. The hosts were super friendly and were always available!

Sooho & his wife were extremely accommodating! This homestay was very cozy & conveniently placed for the easiest transportation throughout Seoul. The location was also prime for proximity to most tourist excursions. The home stay was clean & comfortable w/ the added opportunity to meet different people from around the world sharing your quarters w/ you. Overall wonderful stay & i look forward to booking again!

N/a

Close to river and easy access to subway. Extremely clean and comfortable. Quiet and nice neighbourhood. Felt at home.

Should have taken advice and got a taxi from the station. Walk up hill was hard with suitcase. Only to be attempted by the physically strong. Plus side up hill meant great views.

This was my first time in Seoul and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay. This will not be the typical touristic area, so if like me you’re also looking to see more of the real feel of the city, then this is a perfect place for you. Everything is clean and modern, the bed super is comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom are kept very clean and have everything you need. The bus stop is at a very good walking distance, like 10 minutes, and honestly the hill wasn’t a big problem for me, I loved the walks around the neighborhood. There are many restaurants and bars around, there’s also a university near the house and has a cool park. The place felt really nice and cozy, but most importantly the host was amazing. So attentive and polite. They even gave us some bungeoppang to try and it was delicious. This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed, next time I’m in town I’ll definitely stay there again.

Everything was great.

After climbing up the hill, I was greeted by a stunning view. The accommodation has a cozy interior, and all the necessary amenities were provided, including a well-equipped kitchen. The host was super helpful during my stay. I could borrow an electric bike for one day and bike next to the Han River, really recommend!

For some, the location on the hill can be inconvenient since it requires a journey every time you want to go somewhere. Furthermore, the air in the apartment was a bit stuffy, and the ventilation wasn't great in the bathrooms either. It was quite humid.
