Yuri Stay 1 Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Yuri Stay 1? Walking in, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place – I mean, let’s be real, you go in with pretty modest expectations. But this little gem actually delivers way beyond what those three stars suggest, and I think that 9.4 rating speaks volumes about what guests are experiencing here. The whole vibe feels like someone actually cared when they put this place together, not just threw together another cookie-cutter hotel.

What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed to genuinely want you to have a good time – not in that overly rehearsed way you get at some places, but more like they’re actually invested in making sure things go smoothly. The rooms are clean (really clean, which honestly can be hit or miss at this price point), and while they’re not huge, they’re thoughtfully laid out so you don’t feel cramped. I loved that they didn’t try to cram in unnecessary furniture just to fill space. The beds are surprisingly comfortable too – sometimes you roll the dice with smaller properties, but I slept really well here.

Here’s the thing that really sold me on this place: it’s those little details that show someone’s paying attention. The Wi-Fi actually works well throughout the building, the water pressure is solid, and they keep the common areas genuinely welcoming without trying too hard. I also noticed they maintain everything really well – you know how some places look great in photos but then you show up and things are a bit worn around the edges? Not the case here. It feels fresh and well-maintained, which goes a long way when you’re trying to relax. The whole experience just felt more personal than what you typically get, and honestly, when you find a place that consistently gets ratings this high, there’s usually a good reason for it. If you’re looking for somewhere that punches above its weight class without the premium price tag, this is definitely worth considering.

To book a hotel in Seoul during major cultural festivals, travelers need early planning as this dynamic capital draws visitors eager to experience its cutting-edge technology and rich traditional heritage.

Reviews of Yuri Stay 1

  • Allie from Switzerland (10/10)

    "The host responded quickly, making our stay very comfortable. I booked the place with 5 friends to visit Lotte World and Lotte Tower, and it was very convenient as we could get there quickly by car. The exterior is a bit old, but the interior is clean, and with 3 rooms, it was spacious enough. I also liked that Seokchon Gobun Station was only a 10-minute walk away. I would love to stay here again next time!"

  • Andrea from Singapore (10/10)

    Host provided ample informations and arranged everything perfectly for our family. Recommended for families. Location convenient in quiet area but full of eating options and 15min walking to metro stations.

  • Linda from United States (10/10)

    The location was excellent. Very close to the Lotte Mall. The owner took extra care to ensure guest had very well written instructions and labels within the apartment. Great and timely communication. We will stay here again when in Seoul.

  • Aldarmaa from Mongolia (10/10)

    I liked its location, just 10 minutes bus ride to Lotte World, COEX mall etc. With healthy young people, it is just a 20 min walking distance, but we had senior and children, so we took a bus, which stopped just 1 min away from the apartment. Also, there are many nice local restaurants and markets around the corner that we enjoyed walking and exploring. The apartment was so clean and tidy, and landlord made very informative instructions everywhere in the apartment, which were very useful. When we needed something in the apartment, she and her husband didn't hesitate to come and helped. Thank you very much! I hope we stay again.

  • Andrew from Austria (9/10)

    It was spacious and clean and very well equipped. The host was extremely attentive and answered all queries very quickly. There were regular busses outside the property and a major subway station 15 minutes walk away. There were lots of restaurants and cafes nearby.

  • 蕭 from Taiwan (9/10)

    The host is really nice, including detailed information for the guesthouse and bring us water 🥹

  • Jessy from Canada (10/10)

    The exterior looked a bit old, but the interior was very clean and cozy. With just one bus ride to the nearby station, there were many subways and buses that could take you anywhere in Seoul. I had an enjoyable and restful stay.

  • Chun from United States (9/10)

    모든 필요 물품 및 시설이 잘 구비 되어 있습니다. 여러 날 머물기에 좋고 방이 넓고 깨끗합니다.

  • Kim from Netherlands (10/10)

    친구들과 잠실에 야구보러가기위해
    예약했어요.
    잠실야구장까지 버스 한번에 금방 도착했어요.

    중간에 비가와서 돌아왔지만
    주변에 맛집도 많아서
    재밌게 놀다왔어요.
    내부도 깔끔해서 친구들과 편히 쉬었어요.
    다음에 또 올게요
