Cheongdam Guesthouse

A small guesthouse tucked into a side street in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam. It is a modest place with fourteen rooms, a shared kitchen, and breakfast laid out each morning.

It is striking that most of the reviews are posted in Japanese and Chinese. The neighborhood is packed with entertainment agencies, so travelers who come to Seoul for that seem to have been staying here for years.

What guests like

• Multilingual support

  Several reviews say a Japanese staff member is always on site and explained everything from how to catch the bus to the way back, so many guests feel at ease even if Korean is unfamiliar to them.

• Right in the middle of Cheongdam-dong

  Reviews repeatedly say the entertainment agencies are close by, which made things easy on a trip taken to see them.

• Free breakfast

  A European-style breakfast is included in the stay, so you can fill up a little before you head out.

• A tidy interior

  Reviews in several languages all mention how clean the plain interior looks, with the grain of the wood left on show.

• Separate shower room

  Reviews say some rooms have the shower stall separated from the toilet, which made washing up less of a hassle, and the water pressure was fine.

• Free Self-Parking

  Free self-parking is available, along with luggage storage, laundry facilities, and a water purifier, so a stay of several days brings little inconvenience.

Good to know

• No Elevator

  There is no elevator in the building, so keep in mind that you will have to carry a large suitcase up and down the stairs.

• Front desk hours

  The front desk is open only from nine in the morning to nine at night, so if you are arriving late it is safer to contact them in advance.

Recommended for

• A first trip to Seoul centered on Gangnam
• K-pop pilgrimage
• Good-value stay for a long visit

Explore the property

It stands on a quiet side street one block in from Dosan-daero. Reviewers loved the calm evening air that Cheongdam-dong is known for, describing warm walks around the neighborhood with family or friends.

There are both dormitories and single rooms, so you can choose to suit your travel style. The plain, wood-heavy finish makes the space look larger, and reviews mention that some rooms come with a terrace. One review also says they brought out an extra blanket on a cold day.

The bathrooms come with a shower, and in some the shower stall and the toilet are separated, so mornings overlap less. Reviews say the water pressure was fine, so using water does not seem to be much of a problem.

A European-style breakfast is served and included in the stay. There is a shared kitchen where you can cook for yourself, which is handy on a trip where you want to handle your own meals over several days. Note, though, that alcohol cannot be consumed on the premises.
