About

24 Guesthouse Seoul City Hall

24 Guesthouse Seoul City Hall sits on Deoksugung-Gil in Jung-Gu, putting you within a six-minute stroll of the Seoul Museum of Art and a minute's drive from City Hall.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • Service can be inconsistent — The 6.0 service rating is notably lower than other categories, though individual staff interactions are often praised.
  • Check-in window is limited — Arrivals are only accepted between 15:00 and 23:00, which may be inconvenient for early or late flights.

“I stayed here for a week and the location was perfect – a short walk to the subway with plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. We could even see Deoksugung Temple from our room. The manager was incredibly kind and spoke several languages, helping us with all our local questions. The hostel felt more like a hotel with quality amenities and a free washing machine for guests. I'd definitely stay here again.”
