Large space, quiet, had everything we needed for a long stay. It's a bit hilly to walk to station but if you e bike, it's amazing. Also close to hangang river where you can e bike to other suburbs if you don't want to use the subway.

“A must.”

Blackstone is a quiet building nestled in a tranquil, extremely safe middle-class area. The area is a 5-minute walk from the Han River and a lovely promenade extending through some of the best neighborhoods in Seoul. There is a bus stop nearby covering central locations and a mtr station on line 9 (it connects with the green, blue, and other main lines, quite practical), that is also close by. The space is lovely, quite modern and convenient, and the building, as mentioned, is considerably quiet. The first floor is devoted to a cafe with books from all over the world, which itself is already a luxury. It also provides coffee at a very reasonable price, and the ambiance is always cozy. There is a water and ice dispenser on the same floor as the library. In summer, this will be a total treasure. My room was located on the ground floor and had a lovely garden. The bed was soft, and the space had its own kitchenette (completely well-equipped with an electric stove and a microwave. Has all neccessary utensils to cook, have coffee/tea, etc.) I recommend this particular room for the level of intimacy and comfort. The restroom had a good size and a shower with good water pressure. Water quality was also good. The space provides free bike rental. I did not use it due to a knee injury, but I highly recommend it. Specially for the promenade. The building has appliances such as washing and drying machines at reasonable prices (this is great for long-term travelling) I would not rate the place as a hotel because it feels more like a home away from home. I never met the staff or the owner, but I did see the owners sometimes visit the space, and they have an Instagram where they update the space's continuity...It could have been great to meet them in person. However, we did communicate through message; they were ALWAYS responsive and supportive. They provided good resolutions to inquiries. Highly recommended for solo female travelers.

“Happy with our choice and would stay again.”

I liked the atmosphere, location and room.

“I will come back!”

Calm and private, well connected, amazing host, have the best KFC down the road.

Easy check in, quiet location.

“Great place to stay”

The location was not in the main city, but it was good for us as we prefer to be where locals are. It was close to the bus the bus which was good. Some great street food and many restaurants as there is a university near by.

The best place ever with the loveliest host

“À Lovely place”

It’s a very nice and charming place. We loved to stay there. Staff is very friendly.

“Perfect relaxing stay in Seoul”

It’s my favourite place I’ve ever stayed. Such a peaceful haven in Seoul. Very easy to get to the centre and all the touristy areas and also nice places nearby too. The owner is really kind and helpful. The cafe downstairs was wonderful and drinking coffee on the terrace was one of the highlights from our whole trip, it’s a wonderful view. Room was lovely and bed comfy. I want to come back as soon as I can!

I loved this place - the location was great, lots of transportation nearby and in a very quiet area. It's next to a university, so there are many shops, bars and restaurants in the area. The room (queen room with the piano) was clean and had everything I could ask for as a solo traveler. The bed was extremely comfortable. The shower and toilet were new and clean, and amenities were provided. The kitchen was amazing. I loved playing the piano and having coffee at the balcony🩷 The owner was very responsive and nice! The place is unmanned, so you can just buy coffee on your own from the coffee shop and of course- the self check in (I loved that). This was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend it:)

Quiet and connected cafe was a very relaxing and stylish environment

The apartment and service exceeded expectations.

“Gorgeous stay in Seoul”

The rooms and facilities were spacious and really comfortable. The self-serving book cafe downstairs was an extra special treat which I tried to make the absolute most of! The owner was also really lovely, replied quickly to messages, and was really accommodating.

“Excellent base”

One of the coolest properties I’ve stayed out. The cafe area is really cozy. The room was much bigger than I expected. Didn’t use the local area too much as it caters for the university students but taxi into town not too bad. Really attentive owner who responds quickly.

Nice neighbourhood with lots of nice local restaurants. Nice decor. Nice staff

This place was great to stay. It was very comfortable, and it was very cozy. In the ground floor there was book cafe and there was sharing kitchen too. You have to pay beverage in the book cafe. But the price is still reasonable.

A beautiful and peaceful place. The host was very kind. Staying at this hotel was a wonderful part of the trip. The cafe's amenities were excellent.

“Great guesthouse in local neighbourhood”

Really great guesthouse in a residential neighbourhood. The room I stayed in was perfect for 1 person or a couple. Owner was very kind and nice to be welcomed in via the self service cafe. I personally enjoyed the local vibes in the neighbourhood as I wanted to experience a different part of Seoul - but if you have mobility challenges moving about from here might be a little challenge as it is located on a hill. Wonderful stay, thank you!

clean, quiet and confortable place to stay
