Guest Houses in Ilsan-dong

This was a great hotel for a one night stay after a concert in Goyang. My friends and I used the room well. The staff were very friendly and let us check in early. The room itself was large and very clean. It is in a quiet, residential area but you do have to walk up a bit of a hill to get to the actual hotel/hostel. Overall, it was worth the money for a one-night stay.

The goshiwon is really quiet and clean. And other tenants are also really respectful of the quiet rule. It's easy to come back to the room and relax after a day of walking around. Only thing you might hear is hurried footsteps but all in all, everyone keeps it down. In terms of the room itself, there's a single bed with thick cozy blanket and firm pillow, a small fridge (I did not use), a small fan, hanging closet, and simple organizer. If you're not used to thin mattress, you might not like it. But no one goes to goshiwon for luxury, so~ The weather during my stay mid-May 2025 really helps keep everything cold, so one singular small fan is enough to get air circulation moving and keeping me cool. In terms of separate shower and toilet, I think they're both really clean and well kept. It's easy to navigate. Just make sure you're entering the right stalls. Girls have a separate toilet and shower with "여자“ written in front. In terms of public transport, it's SUPER close to Tanhyun train station and Gyeongnam Honorsville bus station. So whichever your prefered mode of transportation is, it's within walking distance. In terms of finding food, you have a lot of choices. There are convenience stores and restaurants all around the area. The GS25 store at the back is accommodating if you can't speak Korean too well. In terms of the common spaces like the kitchen and unlimited food, I didn't really try them out. But I see other tenants using them and I think if I had to stay longer, I'd definitely cook some rice and ramen myself. Just make sure you separate your trash! There's a guide on the goshiwon door on which trash goes where. For the price, there's really nothing to complain about if you're coming to Tanhyun in May.

The room was extremely clean, and the white bedding was so neat and comfortable. I arrived late at night, but the check-in process was very smooth. They emailed me a self-check-in guide, it was very convenient. The owner even waited for me until after midnight, and was very friendly. There were numerous cafes, including Italian restaurants, and a convenience store right across the street from the hotel. I was so happy during my stay in this lovely guesthouse.

Best hostel in seoul 5 min walk to hundig univ metro .5 min walk to hangdae .the personnel was amazing .

Perfect location in Hongdae, with a 5min walk to the Hongik University subway station. Super clean, comfortable and cosy place. Nice facilities with everything you need, including shampoo and conditioner. The breakfast is continental and enjoyable.

The property was clean and comfortable, very cozy as well. I went in the fall and didn’t feel cold at night. All the facilities were provided as described and Min (the owner) was extremely nice and friendly! I was really happy with my stay and will definitely be staying here again the next time I go to Korea!

Very clean and neat hostel. It is quiet but central with good access to infrastructure. The manager is very nice and helpful. I highly recommend this hostel on Seoul!

The room was so nice and big with a beautiful dark wood paneling on the wall (loved it). A clean bathroom with a shower filter (!) was definitely a big plus. The guesthouse was easy to find, it’s relatively close to a subway station and right next to a few convenience stores. Check-in was smooth and the staff was really nice. I only stayed for one night but I wish I could’ve stayed here for the rest of my trip, definitely one of my favorite places I’ve stayed in!

clean and comfy, good airport connection

Great budget accommodation. There’s a bus stop right outside the building, and it’s easy to get to Hongdae. A café next door is perfect for grabbing a coffee and breakfast before heading out. It’s a 5-minute walk to Mangwon Station and a convenience store. The Mangwon Market area is also just outside the station. The room isn’t new or fancy, but it’s clean and cozy. You can open two 29" suitcases in the room, which might not be possible in some other accommodations.The staff are friendly and helpful. Mr. Peter speaks fluent English and is very helpful in answering questions and offering useful suggestions to travelers. Overall, I’d recommend this place if you’re looking for affordable accommodation.
