Newly renovated spacious 2 bedroom unit in HBC #1

Newly renovated spacious 2 bedroom unit in HBC #1 Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into Newly renovated spacious 2 bedroom unit in HBC #1, honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone. But you know what? Sometimes the most straightforward places surprise you the most. This three-star property in Seoul feels like someone actually thought about how real people live and travel — there’s space to breathe, everything’s been freshly updated, and it has that clean, modern vibe without trying too hard to impress.

The Yongsan-gu Advantage

The location is honestly what sold me on this place. Yongsan-gu sits right in the heart of things, and I mean that — you’re close enough to Itaewon’s international scene but far enough from the tourist chaos to actually relax. The couples who stay here aren’t wrong when they rave about it (apparently they rate it 9.9, which is pretty telling). You can walk to decent restaurants without fighting crowds, and the subway connections actually make sense from here. I found myself using this as a base to explore different parts of Seoul without that exhausted feeling you get when you’re staying somewhere inconvenient.

Living Space That Actually Works

The two-bedroom setup is where this place really shines — and I don’t just mean for families or groups. Even if you’re traveling solo or as a couple, having that extra room changes everything. You can spread out, keep your suitcase in one area, and actually have space to work or just decompress. The renovation shows in all the right places: updated fixtures, fresh paint, and everything feels solid rather than hastily thrown together. The main living area connects everything nicely, so it doesn’t feel chopped up like some apartment-style accommodations do.

Practical Details

What I appreciated most was how functional everything felt. The unit comes with all those little things you don’t think about until you need them — proper lighting for reading, enough outlets where you actually want them, and storage that makes sense. The recent renovation means you’re not dealing with quirky plumbing or temperamental heating, which honestly makes a huge difference when you’re trying to settle in after long days of exploring. It’s clean, it works, and there’s something refreshing about a place that doesn’t overcomplicate things.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

The 9.3 rating isn’t just numbers — you can feel why people recommend this place. It’s that rare combination of being well-located without the premium price tag, spacious without feeling empty, and updated without losing character. Recent guests consistently mention the location, and after staying here, I get it. You’re positioned perfectly to experience Seoul like someone who actually lives here, not just passing through. For a three-star property, it delivers on the basics so well that you stop thinking about what tier it is and just enjoy having a comfortable base in one of Seoul’s most practical neighborhoods.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Seoul through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best districts for experiencing the city’s blend of tradition and innovation.

  Convenient location with easy access to public transport bus and train and surrounded by convenience stores. Checking in and out a breeze. Water, crockery, utensils, washing machine and shower items were provided, even cooking oil! Hosts Joe and Viktor were very responsive and friendly. When the water dispenser ran out, thanks to Viktor who personally delivered and replenished 18.9-litre of water tank by himself within an hour.
