I, Bong Do Lee, would like to welcome you to my guesthouse. Bong House is a laid back, fun, friendly and cosy guesthouse in an excellent location, offering prices that can’t be beat.

Rooms range in size from double beds to 7 beds and toilets and showers are outside the rooms. There’s a fully equipped kitchen for those who want to cook and a washing machine for laundry emergencies. You can enjoy cable TV in our two common rooms, which are a great place to relax and meet new friends. There’s free Internet and Wifi access throughout the guesthouse. There’s no curfew, so you can come and go as you please.

You can now also enjoy our recently opened bar!

Location
Bong House is located in a lively student area with a great atmosphere. The area is packed with restaurants, shops and theatres. There’s a unique and cosy ambiance, something you won’t find in other areas in Seoul.
History, culture, food and fun all come together here, as two of Seoul’s most famous palaces are only a few subway stops away, small theatres are scattered all over the area, traditional Korean food can be enjoyed in the numerous restaurants (though you can also find lots of different ethnic restaurants) and bars and karaoke rooms are readily available to make your trip even more enjoyable and memorable!


Just a five minute walk from subway line number 4, you can easily reach any destination in Seoul and even outside of Seoul. Blessed with an extensive subway network, Seoul is one of the easiest cities to travel in. The subway will get you anywhere within no time, even to other cities like Suwon, Incheon and national parks such as Bukhansan National Park.


Bong House is a place where you can meet many other travellers. If there are enough willing guests, I can organise a traditional Korean house party, which may continue to some of the best clubs and bars in Seoul.
My friendly staff are always around to help and will try their best to ensure that you have a great and memorable time in Seoul. Throughout your stay, I can help you to understand and experience our culture.

Bong House is a fun, lively and great value place to stay in Seoul, and a great place to make new friends!
