Top neighbourhoods in Seoul

Hongdae

Hongdae's streets buzz with youthful energy and creative spirit, where street performers compete for attention against vibrant murals and indie music venues. Students from Hongik University mix with travellers exploring quirky galleries, the Trickeye Museum, and vintage shops tucked into narrow alleys. After dark, the area transforms into Seoul's premier nightlife hub with clubs pumping until sunrise. Cosy cafes and Korean BBQ joints provide perfect fuel for exploring this artistic playground. Getting around is a breeze with three metro stations including Hongik University Station connecting you to Seoul's major attractions. Budget-friendly hostels and boutique guesthouses make ideal bases for experiencing this dynamic slice of contemporary Korean culture.

Insa-dong

Insa-dong's narrow alleys buzz with cultural treasures around every corner. Browse artisan workshops where craftspeople create traditional pottery, hanji paper goods, and calligraphy scrolls. Jogyesa Temple's golden Buddha statues and colourful lanterns provide a peaceful escape, while Ssamziegil's spiral shopping complex houses quirky boutiques and art galleries. Street vendors tempt you with hotteok pancakes and other Korean treats. Tea houses serve omija tea and rice cakes in traditional hanok buildings with wooden facades and curved tile roofs. Most shops open from 10 AM to 8 PM, with the high street becoming wonderfully pedestrian-only on weekends. Nearby Anguk Station connects you to Seoul's excellent subway system when your shopping bags get too heavy to carry.

Itaewon 2-dong

Seoul's Itaewon district serves up a global buffet for your senses with international restaurants, bars, and shops around every corner. Hunt for treasures on Antique Furniture Street or escape the urban buzz with a hike in nearby Namsan Mountain Park. The iconic Seoul Fortress Walls offer perfect photo ops while the botanical garden provides a peaceful green retreat. Getting around couldn't be easier with excellent subway connections and walkable streets, though prepare for some steep hills. Accommodation options range from budget-friendly guesthouses to stylish boutique hotels catering to international travellers. The area truly comes alive after dark when its famous nightlife scene kicks into high gear.

Samcheong-dong

Samcheong-dong blends Seoul's past and present through stone-paved alleys and hanok houses with curved tile roofs. Art lovers can hop between traditional buildings that now house galleries and boutique shops. The National Folk Museum offers a deep dive into Korean heritage, while nearby Bukchon Hanok Village creates the perfect backdrop for culture seekers. Traditional tea houses serve omija tea alongside modern fusion cafés, creating a diverse dining scene in historic settings. The area is best explored on foot, with Anguk Station just five minutes away for easy access to other Seoul attractions.

Seoul and related destinations

Wander through Myeongdong Street's neon wonderland, where cosmetic shops offer free samples with such enthusiasm you'll need an extra suitcase. Namdaemun Market's labyrinthine alleys hide food stalls where ajummas serve dumplings with no-nonsense efficiency. The ancient gates of palaces stand in defiant contrast to Gangnam's gleaming towers, a juxtaposition that somehow makes perfect sense. At Lotte World, families scream on roller coasters while businessmen in suits eat ice cream with surprising dignity. COEX Mall houses an Instagram-famous library where books create waves across the ceiling. Don't miss street food vendors who transform simple ingredients into culinary magic with the casual brilliance of people who've perfected one dish for decades.

"Great location - close to Myeongdong. But immediate vicinity is by old hardware shops. You will need to walk 10 minutes either way to get anywhere. Room was a little small for a family of 4, but we made due. Housekeeping brought fresh towels everyday. E-mart on the reception level was very convenient."

"It was a good experience overall but there were some inconsistencies from housekeeper. They took our bathrobes and never gave us replacements right after the first and second day of our stay. They also didnt provide trash bags for the garbages in the bathroom and kitchen except for the first time which feels strange for a 5 star hotel but overall, I am thankful for the job they did helping us clean up the room and there were no other qualms besides that. The washer dryer combo was terrible though and I do not recommend using it unless you plan on being there when it finishes because your clothes will just be a soaking wet mess after the “dry cycle.”"

"I like the location, step out of the building and you are already surrounded by the many food stalls.and shops. Olive young is just beside the building. Massage facial, and hair care inside the building. Bus is 5 -7mins walk but UBER cost only 9$ for a 20- 30 mins ride, staff are very helpful. The bathroom is together with the toilet but its still bidet. Bed is hard but acceptable. Over all very good"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Seoul

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Visiting Seoul during January to March may offer affordable travel options, as hotels tend to have lower prices on a budget. For those keen to explore the city's rich history and culture, including its castles, museums, temples, monuments, and vibrant dining and café scenes, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This period is known for great value for money and may drop hotel rates, making it a budget-friendly opportunity to discover Seoul's urban and historical landmarks.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute hotel deals in Seoul, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re well-informed. By using these features, you could be among the first to know when prices drop or rooms become available, making it easier to plan a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you find better rates for your stay in a hotel in Seoul. For those seeking something a bit different, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially greater value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average.
