DK House

A comfortable spot for self-quarantine with what you need, good food, and kind, attentive service.

Small room, but it has pretty much everything you need.

We felt right at home at DK during our six-day, five-night Seoul trip. The beds were comfortable after long days on foot, and had heating. We could adjust the room temperature with both air conditioning and underfloor heating. Slippers were comfy, the shampoo, shower gel, and toiletries smelled great, and the hair dryer worked smoothly. Cookware, dishes, cutlery, and hand soap were there too, so I didn't need to bring my own. The room was big enough to open a suitcase fully. We had a four-person setup with two people per room and a double bed in each, for under 2,000 won per person per night. Getting around was easy from the nearby subway and bus stops. The 6002 Incheon Airport bus goes to Ewha Womans University Station, and the airport bus was especially handy. There are lots of buses in Seoul, sometimes easier than the subway. Google Maps was helpful for bus routes. For the subway, use Hancho Station, where the lines are close to the elevators. Ewha Womans University is near Hongdae, and Myeongdong was also easy to reach. The microwave, washing machine, and refrigerator were very useful in winter, when food gets cold and we often bought more than we could eat. No dryer on the washer, but the room was ventilated well enough for clothes to dry indoors. CU and 7-Eleven are nearby, and the residential area was quiet. We did sometimes hear people upstairs at night, probably packing. You have to take your own trash out, but I didn't find that inconvenient. Questions can go through private messages, and replies came quickly. I'd definitely stay here again.

A quiet, clean room with plenty of space, about a five-minute walk from Ewha Womans University Station in the shopping area, with lots of restaurants nearby. Check-in and check-out are self-service. You'll need to take out your own trash. There's a refrigerator, washing machine, IH stove, basic dishes, towels, body soap, dish detergent, hair dryer, and kettle. Toothpaste and a toothbrush are supplied, but I'd bring my own for hygiene. Housekeeping is arranged through messages in the booking app. The refrigerator compressor knocks every few hours, and the damp pipes may attract insects.
