Jin house

Jin house Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Jin house in Seoul‘s Yongsan district, you immediately get the sense this isn’t your typical tourist hotel. It’s tucked away on a quiet side street — Cheongpa-ro 93-gil — which honestly took me a minute to find the first time, but that’s actually part of its charm. This three-star property has this understated, almost residential feel that makes you feel like you’re staying at a friend’s well-appointed place rather than just another hotel.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re in Yongsan-gu, which means you’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough from the tourist chaos to actually breathe. The subway connections are solid (I mean, this is Seoul, so that’s expected), but what really impressed me was how walkable everything felt. You’ve got local restaurants within a few blocks where you’ll actually see office workers grabbing lunch, not just other travelers taking photos of their food.

The Room Experience

The room itself surprised me — it’s compact, sure, but thoughtfully designed in that efficient Korean way. Everything has its place, and honestly, after a day of exploring the city, that kind of order feels pretty perfect. The bed was comfortable enough that I actually slept through the night (which, with jet lag, is saying something), and the bathroom was spotless. Nothing fancy, but everything worked exactly as it should.

What Sets It Apart

You know what really struck me? The staff actually seemed to care about making your stay work. Not in that over-the-top hospitality way, but in a genuine \”let me help you figure out the best way to get where you’re going\” kind of way. They had solid recommendations for nearby spots that weren’t in every guidebook, which I appreciated. The whole place just felt… well-run, I guess. Like someone was paying attention to the details without making a big show of it.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.3 rating makes complete sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s the kind of place that just works. Couples especially seem to get it (they rated the location 9.9, which is pretty remarkable), and I think it’s because Jin house gives you that perfect balance of being connected to the city while having a quiet retreat to come back to. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, and in a city like Seoul where you can easily get overwhelmed, that straightforward approach is exactly what you need.

Hotels in Seoul offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this metropolitan hub, with easy access to world-class shopping, traditional markets, and vibrant nightlife districts.

Reviews of Jin house

• Wun from Hong Kong (10/10)

  Perfect location and nice host.

• Piang-au from Thailand (10/10)

  The location was really good. (a very surprisingly short walk from Seoul station and main road/ have a big supermarket, convenient store and a 24hr restaurant nearby) the room was throughly cleaned, and the host was very responsive.
  
  Note that there was no elevator, it might be harder for those with a lot of baggages, but I don't mind it as it was just a few floors up.

• Xu from Singapore (8/10)

  the space was big enough for solo travel

• 香也子 from Japan (9/10)

  三世代（祖母、母、子）で年末に宿泊しました。床暖房で、エアコンいらずでした。コンセントもあちこちあって不便はありませんでした。ソウル駅15番出口まで徒歩2分！祖母も小学生の息子連れでもとても楽でした。駅前なのでタクシーも沢山停まってます。

• Angel from Peru (10/10)

  El alojamiento es tal cual las imágenes, muy céntrico y bastante cómodo. Cerca hay restaurantes locales y si no te gusta tienes cerca la estación de Seúl con varias fast food. El alojamiento estuvo caliente siempre a pesar de afuera hacer -8 grados. Muy contento. Tener en cuenta que es un tercer piso por si llevan maletas pesadas.

• Shengyao from Taiwan (10/10)

  地點

• Zaira from Ireland (10/10)

  El apartamento está muy bien ubicado tanto si llegas de aeropuerto como si te quieres mover por Seúl.
  Está muy completo, tiene de todo para hacer tu estancia más cómoda.
  
  Jin, el dueño, me dejo hacer el check out más tarde para poder descansar antes de coger mi vuelo.
  
  Volvería sin duda ninguna.

• Chun from Taiwan (8/10)

  距離首爾站非常近，南來北往或是樂天超市購物都很方便。這也是我選擇這裡的重要原因。

• 凱勛 from Taiwan (10/10)

  房間非常舒適、溫馨，距離首爾站走路5-10分鐘就到了，價格也十分合理，原本看到這樣划算的價格還有些擔心品質會不會不佳，實際入住後才發現是我多慮了。入住前跟入住期間，房東也非常即時回應我們的任何問題，有機會來首爾玩，一定還會再選擇這邊！
