24 Guesthouse Myeongdong Avenue Overview

You know what struck me first about 24 Guesthouse Myeongdong Avenue? It’s honestly one of those places that doesn’t try to be fancy, but somehow gets all the basics really right. I mean, when you’re walking through Seoul and your feet are killing you from all that shopping and street food hunting, you just want a clean bed and maybe some peace and quiet – and this guesthouse delivers on both fronts.

The thing is, staying here puts you right in the thick of things without the crazy hotel prices you’d expect in this part of town. I actually appreciated how the staff seemed to genuinely care about helping guests figure out the subway system (which, let’s be honest, can be intimidating at first). The rooms are compact – well, this is Seoul, so that’s sort of expected – but they’re thoughtfully laid out. Everything you need is there, and the beds are surprisingly comfortable. I slept better than I expected, even with the city buzz outside. The bathrooms are small but modern, and the water pressure is actually decent, which isn’t always a given in guesthouses.

What I really liked was the location’s personality. You’re close enough to walk to all the main Myeongdong shopping streets, but you’re not right on top of the tourist chaos. In the mornings, I’d grab coffee from one of the tiny local spots nearby before the crowds descended, and evenings felt more authentic somehow – you’d see actual Seoul residents going about their daily routines instead of just tour groups. The area has this mix of old-school Korean businesses and newer cafes that feels genuine. Honestly, for a 3-star place with a 7.7 rating, it punches above its weight. Sure, it’s not going to wow you with luxury touches, but it’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying somewhere real rather than some sterile tourist bubble. If you’re looking for a solid base to explore from without breaking the bank, this guesthouse actually makes a lot of sense.

  • Hannah from South Korea (7/10)

    In a good location in the centre of Seoul, an easy walkable distance to many tourist sites such as Myeongdong and the palace. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the room was a good size.

  • Hui from Malaysia (7/10)

    1. There is a bus stop just a few steps away from guesthouse entrance direct to Seoul Station so it's convenient!
    2. City Hall Station is also quite easy to navigate to, within walking distance.
    3. So happy to see they have water dispenser for us to refill drinking water!
    4. They allow FOC luggage storage prior to check-in; for after check-out, there is an additional charge if you are collecting your luggages after 9pm. But still appreciate this convenience so I didn't need to find another place to store my luggage!
    5. So many eateries around the corner, just wish I had more time to explore!
