liilliil Residence Seoul

liilliil Residence Seoul Overview

You know what caught me off guard about liilliil Residence Seoul? The name is honestly a bit quirky – I had to double-check I was booking the right place – but don’t let that throw you off because this little gem punches way above its 3-star rating. I mean, a 9.7 rating doesn’t just happen by accident, and after spending a few nights here, I totally get why guests are raving about it.

The thing about this residence is that it feels more like staying at a really well-run boutique guesthouse than your typical hotel. The staff actually remembers your name after the first day, which is refreshing in a city like Seoul where things can feel pretty impersonal. What really impressed me was how they’ve managed to create this cozy, almost homey atmosphere without sacrificing any of the practical stuff you need. The rooms are surprisingly spacious for Seoul standards – and trust me, I’ve stayed in plenty of shoebox-sized places here where you can barely open your suitcase. The beds are actually comfortable (not just hotel-marketing comfortable), and the bathrooms are modern without being sterile.

Honestly, the location works really well if you want to experience Seoul like more of a local rather than hitting all the obvious tourist spots. You’re not in the dead center of Myeongdong or Gangnam, which means you’ll save money on everything from meals to coffee, but you’re still connected enough that getting around the city is no hassle at all. I found myself wandering the neighborhood in the evenings and stumbling across these little family-run restaurants and cafes that you’d never find if you were staying in the main tourist areas. The whole vibe is just more authentic, you know? Plus, it’s genuinely quiet at night – something that’s harder to find than you’d think in this city. Check-in was smooth, they’re flexible about luggage storage if you arrive early, and the Wi-Fi actually works properly throughout the building. For the price point, especially considering that 9.7 rating, it’s honestly one of the better value stays I’ve found in Seoul.

Reviews of liilliil Residence Seoul

• Sarah from Canada (10/10)

  Location is great, less than 5 min walk from Achasan station, which is a good subway line to be on. There is everything you need in the apartment, like dishes and microwave, french press for coffee, washing machine, etc. It is very hot in Seoul in the summer so being able to do laundry was essential. The place is cute and clean and I would stay there again.

• Erik from Sweden (10/10)

  Clean & minimalist space with nice natural light!Location was convenient with restaurants, coffee shops and stores nearby, as well as close to the subway!

• Melissa from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The owner was very friendly. They also gave us a great welcome and clear instructions (english and korean) for the care of the apartment. The apartment was clean and well sized. There were the amenities needed to allow us to cook and stay well. The road was quiet but also close to many restaurants and bars. The metro is only a few minutes walk away, too, with easy link into the city centre.

• Lyudmila from Russia (10/10)

  Nice, quiet place, close to the metro. Very friendly and helpful hostess. There is everything for living. We recommend!

• Eunjoo from South Korea (10/10)

  조용하고 깨끗했으며 전철역이 가깝고 위치가 좋았다(모든 여행지들이 다 가까운거리였음) 호스트가 친절하게 이곳저곳 맛집과 가볼곳들을 추천해주셔서 편하게 여행할 수 있었다.

• 采瑩 from Taiwan (10/10)

  房東人超好，有問題都會即時幫你解決，雖然格局比照片看起來還小，但四個人剛剛好空間很夠用，裝潢很漂亮很舒服，床非常好睡，電視有YouTube跟Netflix 也有一般韓國電視台，不用怕無聊，還有冰箱可以冰酒，超級棒，推薦來KSPO聽演唱會的人訂這間！

• Mayumi from Japan (10/10)

• Cstahl from Sweden (10/10)

  Mycket bra läge i ett lugnt område men samtidigt nära tunnelbanan samt att det finns gott om restauranger och affärer i direkt närhet. Därtill ligger det nära ett berg med fina vandringsledning. Allt möjligt man kan behöva finns i lägenheten med god standard. Sängar & kuddar var sköna vilket för mig är en viktig detalj. Trevlig värdinna som är snabb på att svara om man har någon fråga. Hit kommer jag att återvända för nästa resa till Seoul och vill varmt rekommendera detta boende.
