Blue home Overview

You know what really surprised me about Blue Home? It’s one of those places that completely defies first impressions – and honestly, I almost walked right past it the first time I was looking for it. From the outside, it doesn’t exactly scream “stay here,” but man, once you’re inside, everything just clicks into place in this really comfortable way.

The thing is, this is a proper 3-star spot that actually feels like someone put thought into making guests feel at home rather than just processed through. I mean, the 8.9 rating makes sense once you settle in for a night or two. The staff – and I’m talking about the front desk folks, not just management – they actually remember your name after the first conversation, which is rarer than it should be these days. Check-in was smooth, none of that awkward standing around while they figure out their system, and they gave me this little rundown of the neighborhood that was actually useful (not just the tourist trap recommendations you usually get).

What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays, even during what seemed like busy periods. The rooms have this lived-in comfort that’s hard to describe – not fancy, but everything works properly and the beds are legitimately comfortable. I’m talking about the kind of sleep where you wake up actually rested, you know? The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, decent water pressure, and they keep the common areas tidy without being obsessive about it. There’s this little seating area near the lobby that’s perfect for planning your day or just decompressing, and honestly, I found myself hanging out there more than I expected.

Parking was straightforward – no circling the block endlessly or dealing with complicated garage situations. The neighborhood itself has this authentic feel to it, not overly touristy but not completely off the beaten path either. You’ll find decent coffee shops within walking distance, and there are these little local spots for grabbing a bite that you probably wouldn’t discover if you were staying in one of those big chain hotels in the more obvious areas. I actually ended up extending my stay by a day just because I was enjoying the whole vibe and didn’t feel rushed to move on. If you’re looking for something flashy or Instagram-worthy, this probably isn’t your spot, but if you want a solid base where you can actually relax and feel like a person rather than just another booking number, Blue Home delivers on that in a really genuine way.

Reviews of Blue home

  • Amanda from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The property is perfect, we stayed for 2 weeks were a group of 3 people, it’s clean and light, facilities are great, and the host is super responsive.

  • Elizabeth from Australia (9/10)

    It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. I also really appreciated the water filter so we didn’t have to buy lots of bottled water. The wifi and heating worked well and the hot water was good.

  • Matt from France (9/10)

    We, a group of 3 adults, booked this accommodation just few days before reaching Seoul. We chose it as it was central enough for us and good value for money for the location : its facing the canal, along which you can walk to reach Gwangjang market, and from there, some of Seoul main temples. The flat is located at the 5th floor of a shoe mall with multiple independent sellers ; actually the entire street is lined with such shops, and across the canal/street you spot many clothing department stores. This makes for a lively neighbourhood during the day and evening (many small shops closed on weekends).
    The flat itself is really well equipped, one of the better equipped places we've stayed at during our entire trip : nicely equipped kitchen where you can reheat, cook and a small living room to chill in ; two nice bedrooms with comfy beds, a small but sufficient bathroom. Communication was rather easy with the friendly flat owner and timely, which helped as we reached Seoul late that evening (self check-in/check-out).

  • Dzhastina from Hungary (8/10)

    Very cute and cozy apartment, has everything you might need.
    The host is exceptionally nice and caring, checks up on the needs :3 They made us feel very welcomed <3
    The apartment is close to a metro station which makes it easy to reach.
    Apartment is very clean and thoughtfully furnished, so everything is easy to find and store. The host offered a cleaning as well during our stay.
    There is a water purifier in the apartment which makes the stay comfortable.
    Apartment is equipped with a passcode lock, so every guest can have an access without sharing a key.
    Great apartment for a group of friends or family ☺️

  • Ramada from Jordan (9/10)

    The apartment is really clean and contain everything you need
    Great location

  • Ashif from Netherlands (8/10)

    The appartment was very clean, had enough space for two people and a good central location across from Dongdaemun market / shopping area. In the street where this appartment is, there are several convenience stores closeby.

    We stayed for five nights, we had enough towels and toilet paper, a vaccuum cleaner, washing machine, kettle, cooking area, coffee machine hairdryer, tv and airconditioning. There was also shower gel, shampoo and hair conditioner if you needed it + there were also some snacks in the appartment on arrival from the host. We had a lovely stay here!

  • Thi from Vietnam (8/10)

    The room is very clean and comfortable.

  • Lilia from Madagascar (9/10)

    It has everything: a washing machine, a coffee machine, a kettle, a sofa, a big fridge, a table, etc. Even a vacuum cleaner! That's a must for long stays. It seems like the place was recently renovated. We had enough space for four people so I think it would be just perfect for three. It's also really close to all of the main touristic places, the bus stop, and 2 subways lines (line 1 Dongdaemun, line 6 Dongmyo) and a lot of convenience stores around. Great places are also at a walking distance. The host is also extremely kind and accommodating, their welcoming aura made the stay ten times better.

  • Jean from France (9/10)

    bonjour,
    C'était tellement confortable que j'en ai oublié le manque d'ascenseur !😁..Je recommande cet appartement qui est très bien situé en centre ville ( près des métros 1 er 4 ) très propre. De plus le propriétaire est très précis dans ses explications pour trouver l'appartement et fort sympathique. Situé dans le quartier des grossistes, ce qui est très vivant et typique, il y a du bruit mais très bien atténué par les doubles fenêtres. J'y retourne sans hésiter.t 💖👌

  • Katalin from Hungary (9/10)

    Elhelyezkedés, kényelmes ágy, tisztaság.
