Hyuns 102 – Seoul station 5 min by walk Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name Hyuns 102 – Seoul station 5 min by walk, I thought it was just another generic guesthouse making bold claims about proximity to transit. But you know what? They’re actually not exaggerating. I timed it myself (because I’m that person), and it really is about a five-minute stroll to Seoul Station, maybe six if you’re dragging a heavy suitcase up those slight inclines.

What struck me most about this place is how it manages to feel both modern and homey at the same time. The rooms have that crisp, minimalist Korean aesthetic – clean lines, good lighting, everything feels thoughtfully placed rather than just thrown together. The beds are proper comfortable too, which honestly surprised me given how many mid-range places in Seoul seem to think firm mattresses are some kind of virtue. I mean, there’s supportive, and then there’s sleeping on a concrete slab, you know? This falls nicely in the sweet spot. The bathroom situation is solid – good water pressure, decent space, and they actually provide proper towels instead of those tissue-paper thin things some places try to pass off.

The location thing is really the star here though. Being that close to Seoul Station means you’re basically connected to everything – KTX trains if you want to explore beyond the city, subway lines in every direction, and honestly some pretty decent food options right in the station complex if you’re too tired to venture out. I discovered this little bakery on the second floor of the station that does these incredible cream buns – totally became my morning ritual. The neighborhood itself isn’t the most charming part of Seoul, I’ll admit, but it’s got that authentic working-city vibe rather than tourist bubble feeling. You’ll hear some traffic noise, especially in the mornings when commuters are rushing to catch trains, but it’s not excessive. The double-glazed windows do their job pretty well. What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed genuinely helpful rather than just going through the motions – they drew me an actual hand-drawn map to a nearby jjimjilbang when I asked, complete with little landmarks to watch for. That 8.0 rating feels about right to me – it’s not luxury, but it’s well-executed comfort with the kind of location that makes exploring Seoul feel effortless rather than exhausting.
