Set 1.4 km from Gangnam Station, GangnamStay - Foreign Female Only offers air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi.

Sue and her family will go above and beyond to give all their guests special attention to make them have the best experience possible!! they're all incredibly hospitable and friendly, out of all the places I've stayed at, I've never been somewhere with staff that puts in this much effort for their guests. They serve delicious soups and fresh rice every day, and occasionally delicacy dishes aswell! The living space is so comfortable and clean, they do such a good job at keeping everything tidy despite being shared by so many people. The kitchen and bathroom are also big and comfortable. I truly would recommend this place more than anything in Seoul! The price for a stay this nice is incredible. I had to extend my stay by a week because I enjoyed it so much haha

Really great place to stay. The self-check-in process was smooth and super intuitive – everything worked perfectly and I felt comfortable right from the start. The location is excellent, close to everything but still quiet enough to relax. The rooms were clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed. You can tell a lot of care went into setting this place up. A great option if you're looking for a hassle-free, comfortable stay. I’d definitely come back.

    The location is great within close proximity to Eonju and Sinnonhyeon which offers access to Seoul's metro network, which in of itself is a very cheap and convenient way to get around. Furthermore, there are some food streets and lots of restaurants around so it's very easy to find places to eat at or explore. The hotel itself is very clean and managed well with very friendly staff. If you manage to land a room on a higher floor facing north you also get an amazing view over the city!

    Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.
