SPACE Guesthouse

SPACE Guesthouse Overview

You know what caught me off guard about SPACE Guesthouse? The name actually makes perfect sense once you walk in – there’s this unexpectedly airy, almost minimalist vibe that feels way more spacious than you’d expect from a typical 3-star spot. I mean, I’ve stayed in plenty of cramped guesthouses where you’re basically living in a shoebox, but this place has figured out how to make even smaller rooms feel breathable.

The whole setup feels like someone actually thought about what travelers need instead of just cramming in as many beds as possible. The common areas have this relaxed energy where you’ll find people working on laptops or just hanging out without feeling like you’re intruding on anyone’s space – and honestly, that’s harder to pull off than it sounds. The staff runs things pretty smoothly too, which I appreciate because there’s nothing worse than dealing with chaos when you just want to drop your bags and figure out your next move. What really sold me on the place was how they’ve managed to keep things clean and organized without making it feel sterile or overly formal. You get that nice middle ground where it feels welcoming but not chaotic.

I’d say the 8.2 rating is pretty spot-on – it’s definitely above average for what you’re paying, but it’s not trying to be something it’s not. The rooms are comfortable enough that you’ll actually sleep well (the beds are surprisingly decent), and there’s enough character to make it feel less generic than some of the bigger chain places. If you’re looking for luxury amenities or room service, this isn’t your spot, but if you want a solid base that won’t eat up your entire travel budget, it hits that sweet spot. I actually ended up staying an extra night because it just worked – sometimes that’s all you need from a place, you know? It does what it promises without any surprises, and after dealing with a few guesthouses that oversell and underdeliver, that reliability is worth something.

Hotels near me in Seoul offer convenient access to the city center, where guests can easily walk to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Myeongdong shopping district, and authentic Korean BBQ restaurants.

Reviews of SPACE Guesthouse

• Glowacki from Japan (9/10)

  I really enjoyed my one night stay here. The location is amazing, only a few minutes walk and you are in the center of Myeongdong. The self check in process was simple and easy. The room was clean and well kept. I think for the money it was worth staying here. The outside of the building looks old, but the inside is nice and redone.

• Nofar1 from Portugal (9/10)

  The location is great and the bed is very comfortable, the staff is very polite and friendly.
  I stayed in a few hostels in the area, and this one is definitely the best.
  Also, the room was very spacious compared to other places.

• Kai from New Zealand (7/10)

  The room was spacious with King size bed. Room did smell good upon entering. Surprising as outside looks dirty and smelly. Clean kitchen and accesible clothes washer. Lots of power sockets you need an adaptor if you use different plug type.

• Alfira from Malaysia (7/10)

  Okay comfortable as per the price

• Susie from Australia (7/10)

  I had a satisfactory stay at this guesthouse. The room was clean and well-maintained, making for a comfortable experience. The location was ideal, centrally located and close to public transportation, which made it easy to explore the city. The host was responsive and helpful when needed, especially in the hot water/ boiler situation. While the space was somewhat basic, it had all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay. It’s a good value for the price, and the central location really makes it stand out.

• Agnieszka from Poland (9/10)

  I really liked my rooftop room, the terrace there is very nice to gang out. It is in a city center but in a very quiet spot.
  The bed was very comfortable.

• Lorette from Philippines (9/10)

  The place is clean and complete with kitchen appliances and utensils. The guesthouse is a very accessible to Myeongdong different stores. The place is very near to Namsan Seoul Tower that we only walk to reach the tower from the guesthouse.
