Athome – Foreigner Only Overview
You know what caught me off guard about Athome – Foreigner Only? The name is completely honest – this place genuinely feels like crashing at a friend’s apartment, if your friend happened to have impeccable taste and actually cared about your comfort. I mean, with a 9.3 rating, I was expecting something decent, but this three-star spot punches way above its weight class in ways that honestly surprised me.
The whole “foreigner only” concept initially made me raise an eyebrow – I wasn’t sure if it was going to feel exclusive in a good way or just… weird. Turns out it’s brilliant, actually. The owner clearly understands what international travelers need without having to explain it. There’s proper Western-style bedding (not those rock-hard mattresses you sometimes get), the shower pressure is fantastic, and – this is such a small thing but it matters – they have multiple power outlets positioned where you’d actually want to use them. The common areas have this relaxed vibe where you’ll find yourself chatting with other travelers over coffee, swapping stories and recommendations. It’s that perfect balance where you get your privacy when you want it, but there’s always someone around if you’re feeling social.
What really sells this place for me is the attention to details that only matter when you’re actually living somewhere temporarily. The Wi-Fi is rock solid throughout the building (I tested it, trust me), there’s always hot water regardless of when you shower, and the staff genuinely seems to enjoy helping out with local recommendations – not just the touristy stuff, but like where to find decent late-night food or which convenience store has the best selection. The rooms themselves are clean and thoughtfully arranged, though don’t expect luxury – it’s more about functionality done really well. Honestly, I’ve stayed at fancier places that felt less comfortable because they prioritized looking impressive over actually being livable. The location works well too, though without knowing the exact address it’s hard to be super specific – but the neighborhood feels safe for walking around, and you’re never too far from public transport or places to grab a bite. If you’re looking for a place that treats you like a temporary local rather than just another tourist passing through, this is your spot.
Seoul’s apartments offer modern accommodations with contemporary design, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this technologically advanced Korean metropolis.

Great place overall. Conveniently located along the metro line 2. The place was clean, with comfortable mattresses, in a peaceful neighbourhood. The host is very friendly and helpful.
