Four Seasons House (Female only), hotel in Seoul

Situated in Seoul, 1.8 km from Hongik University Station and 1.8 km from Hongik University, Four Seasons House (Female only) offers free WiFi and air conditioning.

Super comfortable and “homey” hostel. SUPER clean, I have done a lot of hostels and this was the cleanest I have ever been in BY FAR. Also big plus: Free laundry which was a life saver as Seoul’s weather was very hot (which meant you could not wear your clothes more than a day). 4 people room was also very big and spacious, which I was very pleasantly surprised with. The hostel was also very quiet at night, never had any issues with noise. Only “negative” thing I could say was that it was not the most social hostel but it also wasn’t very busy. However, everyone I talked to was lovely and very respectful of other guests. Could not recommend enough!! :)

    I liked seeing a mom with her son, just like me. I booked Homestay Eve because it was the last leg of a long vacation with just me and my son and I figured I would need someone to identify with and somewhere to feel at home. The place is relatively easy to find. She provided good directions, but I didn’t need to use them.
