LikeU Guest house Overview

You know what caught me off guard about LikeU Guest house? It’s one of those places that doesn’t try too hard to impress you – and somehow that makes it even better. I mean, sure, it’s a 3-star spot, but honestly, the 8.6 rating it’s pulling makes total sense once you spend a night or two there.

The first thing you notice walking in is how the staff actually remembers your name after like, one conversation. Not in that forced, corporate way either – more like your friend’s cool aunt who insists on making you tea every time you visit. The rooms are what I’d call “thoughtfully simple.” Nothing fancy, but everything works properly (which is more than I can say for some fancier places I’ve stayed). The beds are actually comfortable – not too soft, not like sleeping on concrete – and the Wi-Fi doesn’t randomly cut out every ten minutes, which honestly is half the battle these days. There’s this nice attention to small details too, like decent water pressure in the shower and blackout curtains that actually block light if you’re trying to sleep in.

What really sold me though was the genuine vibe of the place. You’ll find yourself chatting with other guests in the common areas without it feeling awkward or forced – there’s just something about the atmosphere that makes people more relaxed. The breakfast isn’t going to win any awards, but it’s fresh and filling, and they don’t rush you out if you want to linger over coffee and plan your day. I actually ended up staying an extra night because, well, sometimes you find a place that just works for you. The pricing is fair too – no hidden fees or surprise charges that make you feel like you got played. It’s the kind of spot where you’d feel comfortable bringing your parents or recommending to a colleague without worrying they’ll think you’re cheap or have terrible taste. Sometimes the best travel experiences come from places that simply get the basics right and add a bit of heart to it, and LikeU Guest house definitely falls into that category.

Seoul’s apartments offer modern accommodations with contemporary design, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this technologically advanced Korean metropolis.

    the location was the best thing!

  • Seoyeun from South Korea (9/10)

    Highly recommend!
    Very close to subway station.

    The accommodation was quiet because it was in a residential area, and there was a park right in front of it, so it was good to rest quietly, and the convenience store was close, so it was convenient to buy water or snacks.

    The clean bed and bedding were so fluffy that I could sleep well.
    It's a space that highlights the interior and meticulous consideration for guests one by one 🥰
    It's a place I really want to come back to!

  • Amando from Norway (9/10)

    Location: just next to a metro station, next to a convenient store, lots of restaurants nearby, walking distance to dryer facility.

  • Hazel from Philippines (9/10)

    Loved the location! It was very close to the train station and walking distance to the food and shopping street in Hongdae. The convenience store located on the next building was also a plus. The heated floor is amazing and very comforting, since we stayed there during the winter. The room was very clean and spacious enough for a family of 4.

  • Polinat from Canada (9/10)

    Excellent location, very responsive and accommodating owner. The apartment was big enough for 3 people. Was nice having the washer in the room.

  • Bellinda from Indonesia (9/10)

    Great location also owner is so helpful!
